Seems like this is a relevant enough thread. Elsewheres someone was asking me what games I would like to a remake/remaster/loose reboot/successor of. After some thought I came up with the following list (omitting some, like Castlevania which I could throw a rock and find direct successors (Hollow Knight, Salt ad Sanctuary coming to mind)
7th Saga, Actraiser, Battletanx, Black and White, Chrono Trigger, Command & Conquer (+Renegade), Crazy Taxi, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Descent, Dragons Dogma (see how its does with #2) Duke Nukem (pre-3d), F-Zero, Far CRy - Blood Dragon (as its own game) Final Fantasy 6 and 9, inFamous, Jazz Jackrabbit (sort of already happened with Hell Yeh WotDR), Halloween Harry/Alien Carnage, Heavy Gear, Hexen, Lords of Shadow, Populous, Prototype, Secret of Evermore, Heroes of Might and Magic, Maelstrom, Might and Magic, Perfect Dark, Raptor Flight of the Shadows, Secret of Mana (like, one that actually addreses a giant chunk of the game being cut), Shadowrun, Soulbringer, Thief, Tokyo Jungle, Tribes, Twisted Metal, Ultima(inc Underworldand online), Unreal Tournament, Xardion

A lot of those games actually do have sequels, remakes, spiritual successors (out or upcoming).

Eh, if I'm gonna bother with a re-do of FF6, it'd have to be more then just an upscaling (basically)A lot of those games actually do have sequels, remakes, spiritual successors (out or upcoming).

(although god not that awful mobile thing they did where half the tiles were in different resolutions then each other.... which is also why I'm a tentative about some lol)
Wasn't a big fan of Xcom Shadowrun, though I was aware of its existence,
Not sure what the fourth one is correlating too. Didn't know about the would-be C&C one (but probaby overlooked cause I don't PC game much, can't be bothered doing my job (tech support) to faciliate my leisure time.

It cribs from Hexen. There is also the C&C remaster, but its only the first game and red alert.
Loving the Dead Space Remake. A different follow up: I am not getting Wanted: Dead at all. Not even if it were a $5.
With some elements of Perfect Dark as well. I can guess we can say it'll be the best 007 and Perfect Dark game in a long, long, long time.
Dino Crisis SS. But looks pretty jank asset flip-y. Got the cheese tho
Also DORF. Very old school C&C, sprites and all.
On the subject of spiritual successors, I can add ZeroSpace to the list (StarCraft).
I'll be honest, DORF doesn't look appealing to me. It seems to be harkening back to RA2 more than anything else, which is fine, just that my 'proper intro' to CNC was with Tiberium Wars.
Nothing except a 7 mile asteroid, but who's counting?
Spiritual sequel to Metal Slug called Aqua Ippan. I hope they add blood, but I doubt it.
