Deus Ex, though technically it has been done with a couple mods, the main one being New Vision mod, but a true and proper HD Remake would be awesome
I'm all for anything that would make FF12 better, that game really needed a lot of work. If there was a "Both" option I'd take it.
I'm interested in the expanded results of this one. I voted Deus Ex and I reckon that it'll win, but hey, I've been wrong before.
FFXII! I've never been bale to find the time to finish it, but I sure would love to take another crack at it in HD. I did love it...
Why does any of them need a HD Remake?
I've never played FF XII, but Deus Ex is one of my favorite games, but while Yahtzee scolded it for having aged poorly I'm going to have to disagree with him. Even if the graphics are ugly as hell, the game still sets a great atmosphere.
The rule of thumb for remakes, even if we're talking HD remakes, is that if you are going to make one, it should be because there is still potential to be released, and in regards to at least Deus Ex, there is hardly any potential to be released. The gameplay is tight, focused and works out really really good, the story is great and all in all it feels less linear than it's brand new little brother.
As for FF XII, like i said i never played it, but from what i understand, the FF series has great graphics already, so why does it need a HD remake beyond trying to fix gameplay issues?

the mod is great, but...if they did a HD remake it would blow that shit out of the water, honestly.Setch Dreskar said:
so yeah, deus ex has my vote, and they better "HD" a few other things in it...
I like what Yahtzee had at the end of one of his videos: "I'll take a day o' sex any time!" So yeah, gotta go with the conspiracy roleplay shooter.
Neither, I wanna see a direct X-Com HD remake. That game's only issue is its archaic graphics. Other people groups have tried, but they're never quite right. I want an EXACT remake, just new visuals.
I,personally,disliked FF XII,and,since I haven't played any Deus Ex game,I can't form an educated opinion. So I'm going to say "Neither",and throw my own HD Re-release Dream into the ring. It's a tag-team.
-The Legend of Dragoon,with voiceovers for the plot mandated conversations. Amazing game,had (and still does,if remade) the potential to put RPG combat through a paradigm shift. Additions FTW! That,and the 32 item inventory forced you to be tactical about things.
-Final Fantasy VIII. Great gameplay,had a VERY fresh idea for magic usage,and a great story. Yeah,the romance between Squall and Rinoa got fumbled,HARD,and the plot seems nonsensical if you don't pay attention,but,overall,it's my favourite Final Fantasy installment. Maybe add some VA work for plot mandated conversations,too.

Deus Ex. Its graphics were behind the curve even for its time. Honestly I hate hearing people wanting a game to be remastered, when the thing isnt so old it actually needs remastering. Essentially the only generation of games that truly needs HD remastering is Playstation/N64 gen and its really not even that they need it as much as theres so many new techniques, that it is just logical to do so.
But KoTOR, Halo, FFXII can certainly wait at least another generation before they can possibly merit remastering.

Deus Ex since there's nothing wrong with the way FFXII looks, and I wouldn't mind having another excuse to play Deus Ex.
If they remade the original Deus Ex in the shiny engine they used for Human Revolution, I might actually consider playing it.
