If you could have any game remade by a studio of your choice, who would you want working on what?
For example, I'd take We Happy Few and put it into the hands of either Remedy (of Alan Wake & Control fame) or IO Interactive (of Hitman series fame).
I would just undo all the mergers and acquisitions. In 90% of cases, this just results in the games being worse, and the magic that made the studios great is extinguished.
Pokemon, any mainline game really, made by a competent studio with enough time. Let's say Monolith since they made the best RPGs on the switch.
Just imagine what for example Legends Arceus could have been with the amount of polish Xenoblade has.
Halo infinite by a company that isn't 343 for fucks sake
In an ideal world, the only company that should've worked on HALO games was Bungie.
🥇
The Halo wars games were good
I'm just curious what From Software would do with Super Metroid, not that it needs a remake
From Software could also probably do a cool take on Jade Empire.
Command and Conquer Generals - Zero Hour, Remade by Westwood Studios
A dream come true, but very unlikely, given how EA treated the C&C IP over the last few years.
Love me some Generals: Zero Hour. Haven’t played in a while, but I’ve loved the Contra mod.
I'd take my chances to see either of the Orre region pokemon games remade or expanded with a third release
Man, at this point people just want the games to be finished.
Larian doing Knights of the old republic.
A new NFL 2K(5) by the original 2K team on modern hardware. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GOD.
F-Zero by sega again, they nailed it so perfectly that Nintendo to this day didn't dare make a new one.
A Pokémon remake by Valve. It'll come out a decade late, sure, but knowing Valve, they'd try out a bunch of new tech and mechanics (desperately needed by Pokémon) and then polish it up to excellent quality.
Blast Corps remade by any one who wants to remake Blast Corps.
Please.
Someone.
Anyone.
Ultima 4 Quest of the Avatar by Larian Studios. With Lord British's approval, of course.
Minecraft by relogic
FlatOut 3: Bugbear Entertainment
LOL
I'd want Gears for Breakfast to remake Avatar: The Last Airbender - Quest for Balance
I don't know what studio (Rockstar maybe) but I'd love a revamp of Freedom Fighters. I reinstall and play through the that game every few years. It's really almost perfect as-is but graphics could be modernized and AI could be a little less stupid.
A Starship Troopers game from 1990s Blizzard Entertainment.
A red dead redemption game from From Software
Albion from 1996. The old game from Blue Bytes. I just need the same game, but running without emulation or dosbox on new hardware and maybe some upscaling, nothing more!
Made by Larian ♥️
Mechwarrior. The first one. Remade by Piranha Games or some indie outfit, just respect the material, expand the universe, mission negotiations, recruitable mercs, fidelity. Keep the story.
Banjo-Tooie, but remade by Rare
Earthworm Jim by Rare. Maybe Conker's Bad Fur Day by Rockstar.
I'd let Emily Pitcher from Sondering Studio remake every single game with soundtracks composed by Lena Raine. This includes Chicory, Celeste, and of course, Minecraft.
It would be kinda difficult for her to remake that last one ngl.
Also, I'm the one that remasters the soundtracks to make them sound like they came out of a Sega Mega Drive (for Muricans: Sega Genesis). This is clearly the worst idea I've ever come up with considering how long this would take especially for only 2 people.
Basically any modern AAA game, but made by Blizzard of 1995
2k should remake the SNES title Krusty's Funhouse
ToonStruck, remastered, or the shelved sequel ressurected. I'd like Burst to (exist again and) handle the development because they did a fantastic job the first time around!
an interesting take would be dune/ diablo by omega-force so it has musou overtones.
super mario rpg / dragon quest with atlus persona glitter
morrowind with larian mechanics or via the capcom RE engine
tales of phantasia/ eternia with ark system works
valkyrie profile c/o vanillaware
Independence War and Independence War 2 remake by Aerovery Labs, or maybe Eagle Dynamics would be dapper.
Metroid Prime Hunters. By Nintendo of course.
Total Annihilation3 by a rebuilt caveDog software.
If you haven't checked out Beyond All Reason yet, you really should.
Marvel vs Capcom Infinite made by the Capcom that maded mvc 2 and 3 instead of whatever demon spawn of Capcom ended up making mvci.
Red Faction by Embark Studios, the former Dice devs behind The Finals
Star Citizen, Valve's long delayed first foray into the world of MMOs.
The Witcher series but made by FromSoftware
Edit: not because CDPR did a poor job on it. The Witcher games are my most played games on Steam. I'd just be super interested to see a FromSoft take on the combat and storytelling.
Golden Sun. Square Enix.
