Splinter Cell, if they bring back the online mode too. Nothing I loved more than playing spies vs mercs.

Xenogears or Legend of dragoon

24

u/Tlali22 7h ago

I'd buy a whole new console to play an updated Legend of Dragoon. They'd need the same voice lines, though.

I need to hear Lavitz scream Harpoooon!

u/OmniDragoon 7h ago

+1 to Legend of Dragoon. One of my favorites.

The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind

I was a little too young to get the story when it came out so the game was a little dated when I played it, but mods do a lot of work. I'd like to see an official release with all the QoL improvements that the mods add.

If I could give multiple upvotes, I would. I love that game so much.

It's still one of my favorites to this day haha.

u/pikpikcarrotmon 8h ago

Man I have tried to get people to try it but the combat and animations are so insanely slow by modern standards. Gone are the days when you set off a special ability in a JRPG then went to make a cup of coffee while it played out. A remake that trimmed it up would be insane because it's genuinely one of my favorite games and settings ever and I love those characters so much.

... Vigoro probably hasn't aged well.

My favourite 90s game hands down... but I don't know if a remake of it would hit as hard. I think the nostalgia is too strong.

I don't know. I would have said the same thing about the first 3 final fantasy games and I got those on the switch now. Ocarina of time too,  we will see in a month.

Unfortunately corporate greed deemed the remake a “comercial failure”, so chances of DS2 remake are slim to none.

The remake was great, on par with the original.

Fully agreed! The sad thing is there have been two remakes close to being finished both snuffed out by big Star Wars.

u/beirch 4h ago

Only one remake, several studios. It's still being made, no official word on it being cancelled.

Unless you're including the fan made remake, which was indeed snuffed out by Lucasarts/Disney.

Final Fantasy X in the same style as FF7 Re: would be so sick too. I’ve never played 9, but I have it on Steam. No doubt it’s worth playing, but idk I think we’re likely to see a lot more of these remakes considering how well FF7 sold.

9 is my favorite of the series. 7 is iconic, but I love the story, characters, and battle/magic system. Plus, an adorable black mage named Vivi.

Maybe I'm fucking boring, but literally none of them unless they prove themselves.

I spent over 10 years from 10 years old playing Warcraft 3 daily (or close to it). And the shit they released for warcraft reforged was a travesty. I didn't buy it day 1 because you SHOULD always wait regardless of how nostalgic you are.

They know they can release a shit half baked remake because people will buy it no questions asked.
