I'd have to go with The Legend of Dragoon, a JRPG on the PS1 for those of you who haven't played it. It was overshadowed by the Final Fantasy series, but it is a great game and I'd love to see it remade and aggressively marketed this time.
Remaking a game that already has graphics that are completely insane? You sir, are the winner.

Alundra, because even though its a Zelda ripoff, it's still one of the best goddamn games out there.
And Team Buddies, because they're freakin' hilarious and playing it was addictive as all hell.

Metal Warriors remade by Bandai with the same engines used for the Gundam Games.
OMG, you've played Metal Warriors? That game was badass!

Final Fantasy 7 with a release for PC.

*crosses fingers*
There was a port released for PC in '98. I used to have it because a specific dick brother of mine (Well...I only got one) thought it would be a good idea to see fi you break a disc and see if the contents come spilling out.

Personally, I'm in a mix between FF7 (And maybe FF8 too?) and GTA San Andraes. That game was huge, and suffered mainly from crap graphics and physics. And maybe remove all the GNAGSTAAA shit. I got tired of someone calling someone else 'nigga' after the first ten minutes.

I would disagree about Legend of Dragoon being a JRPG. Even if it was made in Japan, I felt it was more or less an American RPG, since it felt so different than everything that was JRPG (I'm basing my idea of JRPG off the Final Fantasy Series. Evidentally, I don't play many video games that aren't Squaresoft products).

That being said, if I had the money, I would buy the Shit out of a Remade version of Legend of Dragoon. I'd buy the original if I had the cash.

OT:Game I'd love to see remade? I'm impartial to Alundra. That game would look GORGEOUS in New Graphics, especially if you can make the dream visuals come out.

Freakin LoZ: Ocarina of Time! An amazing game, with better graphics and an option to remove Navi's voice and replace it with something else, or just leave it off altogether! AWESOME!

If my goddamn mouse would work right, I might enjoy it, but they refuse to cooperate with it. That and the whole "turn-based" thing is a big turn-off. I don't mind it in a strategy game, or something like Pokemon, but it cripples the fuck out of Fallout.
It actually fits nicely with the type of game it is. Turn-based combat was used in a lot of good RPGs, not only on the PC but also most JRPGs. Pokemon is one example. Of course, you're free to not like it.

(But I see people having trouble with expectations both when going from Fallout 1&2 to 3, and the reverse path. The games are quite different, and I consider all of them good games, but being the same series creates expectations which often aren't met).

A new Killer Instinct would do me, I personally loved the combat system in place, and the graphics were beautiful for their time, if I remember rightly, the arcade machine was the first to need a hard drive to store the data.

Just ramp up the visuals, give me the full roster from 1 and 2, (no leaving poor Riptor out), and maybe throw in some bonus guest stars either from other fighters or from Rare's history.

After all, SabreWulf himself was from a damn ZX Spectrum game by Rare!

I love arena shooters, but I thnk there's so many great indie shooters that look lovely that there's no need, if you liked Smash TV or Robotron, try Beat Hazard, it's Smash Tv , but the levels are generated by the music you feed it!

I guess if you really want a new Smash TV, it's Serious Sam, or jumping sideways a bit, Dead Rising 2.

Banjo Kazooie or Conker's Bad Fur Day. And none of that Nuts n' Bolts nonsense. Sure, it was fun, but it was no Banjo Tooie. Just return to the old platforming style, even if it's just an Xbox Live arcade game.

Why has no-one on this thread said Half Life 1? Or its respective expansion packs?
I think I'd nerd-gasm if Valve decided to remake Half Life 1 and its expanded children into current-gen design. Even looking like Portal 2 would make it even greater. But with less portal and more emotional oblivious-ness, combined with a bright orange suit.

And I know that there is a Black Mesa Source coming out at some point but that's my point exactly: "AT SOME POINT!". I know Valve time consists of waiting 6 years to produce a sequel to something, but this game has been in process since 2004 and is still delayed. I think the developers are like uncommitted suicidals, I don't hold out for its release, and it stilll doesn't count because Source 2004 is not next or current gen. It sits on the fence between retro and pretty.

Actually, come to think of it, Valve, isn't there a Half Life 2 Episode 3 you're meant to be working on? That's all we need another BLOODY SIDETRACK...sorry I've lost my train of thought...

Oh yeah, Half life 1. That would be amazing in current-gen graphics
