I forgot to put this at the top but a Shadow of the Colossus HD remake would be beautiful.
You're in luck.
And it's being paired with ICO as well. [http://ps3.ign.com/objects/075/075635.html]

I'm not certain if it's fully being remade or not, but I really hope they polish the textures and frame-rate.

As for myself, Simcopter would be amazing.

Deus Ex. The story and game mechanics don't need to be changed... they're perfect as they are... but a graphical update, a modern physics engine, more complex AI, and maybe doing a bit with level design (nothing too extreme)... it never gets old, but I'd buy a remake along those lines in a heartbeat.

But there's another I have to throw out there, and I don't think words can describe how much I'd want this: Mechwarrior 2. Throw in the expansion and Mercenaries and I'd be like a little kid on Christmas at the existence of such a remake. To be honest, I'd pay good money just to get the soundtracks as performed with actual instruments instead of MIDI or whatever it had. But those games, with modern technology? If done right, I'd be in gamer heaven.

I'd also like to see a remake of Fallout Tactics that adheres much more closely (in both story and more minor details) to Fallout canon and aesthetics. Better graphics, too, though if you got rid of the sprites you'd have to have some way to keep those creative and violent death animations more or less intact, it just wouldn't be the same otherwise. Now, I don't like Tactics nearly as much as Fallout or Fallout 2, but I still had a lot of fun with it and I think it's a fine game in it's own right.

Seeing as Tie Fighters been mentioned...Dark Forces 2- Probably give it Jedi Academies gameplay and a graphics enhancement, and it could be downright awesome. I just want an excuse to play as Kyle Katarn again, plus i liked the villains and it was basically responsible for introducing me to the concept of the star wars expanded universe.

Kotor 2, the writing was good, (except the ending), it was grey in moral choice, and the gameplay was good old crpg. Give it a better budget and give it to a studio with a better tack record than obsidian, and it'll be really good.
Can you get the people who do it to add in all the stuff Obsidian was going to add but had to cut out? Seriously, some of the idea's in their were damned good and would have probably made the game the greatest RPG ever...

I wholeheartedly agree with this (I mentioned it just a few posts above, in fact), but one correction - the soundtracks were done with actual instruments and not MIDI. I still have the MW2 game disc at home and play all the non-data tracks every now and then just because the music is so awesome.

How did I forget TIE Fighter? Good one.

Fallout 1 and 2.

Give it some amazing graphics, stomp the bugs, add all the stuff that was in the Restoration mods, improve the turn-based gameplay a bit and maybe even add an option to play in real time (but that would probably be too drastic and would greatly affect some perks/traits).
As a longtime Fallout fan... yeah, I could go for that. I don't think true real-time would work with it, but maybe something like Fallout Tactics' CTB to make it more accessible to people who just can't stand the old-fashioned style. Oh, and while we're at it, maybe tone down the 4th wall breaking in 2, and give the first game the same companion system (or updated version of it) as the second. Ian blasting you in the back with an SMG won't be any less infuriating with updated graphics.

Morrowind, hopefully for the PS3. I'm tortured by the fact that I can't play it.

And before you say it, no. My PC can't run it. ;~;
Oh god, yes! But not with the Oblivion engine, and not with Oblivion's simplistic combat mechanics, that's scarcely an improvement. I honestly think this would be best done by someone other than Bethesda, but that may be because my opinion of them is so abysmally low.

Seriously? I have all those tracks, and some of it sounds synthesized. Not all, but some. I'll have to listen to it again. If you're right, well... still, it could be redone under much less limited circumstances than game music was created under in '95.

Maybe they could add something similar to the Wild Wasteland trait? Usually when I played Fallout 2 I only had 1 trait anyway. Or maybe they could just put it in the options to turn down pop references and all that (I think it would be the only game ever made to have something like that).

That... sounds like the perfect way to handle it.

Two of my favourite underrated PC classics from 12 years ago, Carmageddon and Die By The Sword. Two of the most violent games as well, without getting excessive like manhunt, one that would look glorious in HD for pure road rage racing carnage, and the other HD is an obvious plus but it was type of game that a Wii-Mote/Move controller was made for. Basically did the same thing, except used the mouse or numpad to control the free-moving sword arm, that let you hack off limbs and decapitate opponents. Multiplayer/Co-op at the time was also limited due to the telecom technology at the time.

Pretty much anything made by Bullfrog. More specifically Populous and even more specifically DUNGEON KEEPER

Giants: Citizen Kabuto! The only reason me and my friends don't play that MP today is due to the glitches of that time.

perfect effing dark in the cod days were customization is massive now noting could compare to modern perfect dark. honestly in cod have u ever laucnhed a pinball grenade down a hall while your laptop gun slaughtered your dad 2 rooms away while using an alien sniper rifle to shoot through walls to gun down your dad as he respawns, dropped a gun that proximity explodes when someone else tries to pick it up only to be killed as your little brother sneaks up behind you and pops a lethal injection tranquilizer dart in the back of your skull. now imagine that online and with the potential of modern gaming. try and tell me anything in duty can compare to that.

i'd really like a decent remake of the first turok game.. maybe turok 2 as well.
a revamped multiplayer could be sweet as well
