What games deserve a remake?

On that note, Farcry part deux would be cool if done with one seemless, Stalker-sized game world. I haven't picked up Crysis, but the mutants vs. mercenaries vs. you of Farcry was beautiful.

Crysis, the first one's graphics are too old and ugly and seriously need an update :p

In other news, we already have a thread on this, although I guess Swein has ruined it.
 
a remake/sequel of Baldur's Gate would certainly be nice :)

and of course the mentioned Colonization and Alpha Centauri.

As for X-Com: there's already many remakes around, and none of them come even close to doing justice to the original :(
 
remake populous.

Imagine populous with these days graphics and calculating power.

(Black and white (the good parts of it) + RTS-gaming?

= win.

BTW Black and White is the successor of populous.
 
What I'd like to see remade and/or proper sequels to (in no particular order)

Conquest of the New World
Descent 2
Merger of Xcom:UFO and Xcom:Apoc with a dash of Xcom:TFD mixed in
Rise of Nations
Diablo 2
Duke Nukem 3d
Alpha Centauri
Carmageddon

Yes, I know that some of these have sequels announced, but until I get the thing in my hands I'll consider it vaporware.
 
Id like to see someone try to modernize the old Panzer General series of games. Decent graphics and a better interface coupled with more campaigns would make a remake of those games worth buying. I played my old PS1 version a couple of months ago and it seemed hopelessly clunky and dated.
 
Update the Kotor games graphics, yay! =p

Joe and Mac. I spent most of my childhood on that game, screw Mario ;)
 
Black and white failed in that aspect, it was just not the same, they better idd a remake.

I agree. Populous was one of my favourite games.
 
Sword of the Samurai - With an Oblivion style 3D world it would seem natural to travel and order your troops and advisers around. Also no silly loading screens before a duel in the woods, it would just happen.

Chaos Overlords - Just being able to watch battles between Terminators and religious zealots would make a remake worth it. Preferably it would be coupled with a utility that would convert SC4 cities into the gameboards.
 
I am still waiting for Duke Nukem Forever. :(

Sacrifice would be awesome if they kept the same game mechanics, but just updated the graphics. I would buy 50 copies because I'd be so happy!
 
Speaking of FF VII remakes...

Source

Final Fantasy VII will be getting a “new” version of the classic game from the massive franchise and it will be exclusive (for now at least) to the PLAYSTATION 3. It is unclear whether a new version will be a simple remake or an extension to the original like Crisis Core, and if it will be a Blu-ray release, or on the PSN. Something else which won’t be exclusive is the original FF7 which will be coming to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade by the end of the year.

Both of this info will be officially announced at either Square Enix’s August conference in Japan, or the Tokyo Game Show.

Still in the rumor stage, but more intersting then the usual fanboy pleas.

I think it failed because there wasn't the ability to have a sandbox mode or an easy way of making your own maps. It was campaign or multiplayer.

which is why this one was made......

anyway, I think

Shogun: Total war
Final Fantasy VII

You could sorta do sandbox stuff in the skirmish mode. It was usually how the experts trained their creatures on miracles way ahead of time. There were a couple trainer maps with miracle generators for all kinds of crazy spells. Usually stuff like that giant death storm and shielding.

Spore, dude. Spore.

Based on the Ballad of Bioshock I am pessimistic at best. My guess is that it will be dumbed down.
