This.
Also, Sega arcade racers. We *finally* got a proper Daytona home port last gen, we should get one every gen to keep the game alive. Or Daytona 2, SuperGT, Sega Rally, etc.

Elevator Action Returns - nope, just Saturn and PS2 ports
Eyeshield 21 Amefuto no Yarouze YaHA!! - Nope and has a 0% of getting one
Final Fantasy X-2 - Yep, and a pretty decent one
Resident Evil 3 - Nope, but might get one depending on how REmake 2 does
Silent Hill - It got a completely shittastic remake that should never have been made.
Silent Hill 3 - ...
Final Fantasy IV - like a gazillion of them
Castlevania 64 - Just Legacy of Darkness but a 3DS remake would be awesome.
Vampire Savior - bunch of ports with Resurrection being particularly excellent.
Revelations: Persona - Had the crap PSP remake that I won't touch.

This thread made me realize that a lot of my favorite games have gotten remastered/remade.
PaRappa 1 and 2 - PSP remake/PS4 remaster
Conker's BFD - Xbox remake
Daytona USA - PS3/360 remaster
Banjo-Kazooie - 360 remaster
Perfect Dark - 360 remake
I guess all that's left that I can think of are Ridge Racer Type 4 and OutRun 2006. (Maybe Online Arcade technically counts for that but I wasn't able to buy it before the delisting... so I need a new one anyway!)

Man this is such a weird thread because what counts as a remake or remaster?
I'd say Earthbound but it had a GBA port. Mother 3 I'd say.
Resident Evil 2.
God Hand.
VIEWTIFUL Joe.
Paper Mario 1 and 2.
Red Dead Redemption.
Link to the Past and Links Awakening DX (XD remake a remake)
Would have been awesome if Nintendo did more Zero Mission style remakes for their NES games because I find NES games hard to go back to.
To be remakes sort of run a spectrum.
You have full on remake ass remakes like Super Mario Allstars, Zero Mission, REmake, and the Pokemon remakes.
You have enchanced port like remakes like FFT WOTL or Persona 4 Golden, or really any super special edition of a JRPG like and international edition or final mix. This also would be like a rerelease of a fighting game. Stuff is changed and rebalanced but it looks and feels nearly the same.
Then you have just ports which we got a ton of this gen. Maybe the framerate is better, maybe it has a few tertiary features. Maybe an extra area.

The Xenosaga series, though with a failed little mention a while ago, I doubt it will ever happen. I would be happy with them at least being released digitally on PSN or the like.
Also Fallout: New Vegas. I would love a PS4 version that ran well. Cleaned up some bugs and maybe restored some deleted content. I think it's possible, but unlikely.

I would say KOTOR and Shenmue personally. I'd love Shenmue 1 and 2 on Vita before the third one comes out.

HALO:CE Anniversary is great and the same goes for Ico/SotC collection.
I would really like to see Ace Combat: Zero re-master
4 got a re-make and 5 is planned to be re-mastered.

Majora's Mask might be the only one of my top 5 to get a real remaster. Metroid Prime and Pikmin 2 sorta kinda got one. FTL and FE: Awakening are too new to really deserve one.
Nothing else in my top ten has gotten anything. No SNES era Disney Capcom games have even gotten a rerelease, same thing with the Lost Kingdoms series, Rogue Squadron series, Super Return of the Jedi, or Super Mario RPG.

Isn't the thread title basically "what are your favourite games?"
Have or have not been remastered basically just covers everything.

MegaMan legends is what i'm most waiting for right now. FF8 and FF9 would be nice as well but since Square is working on 7 right now i can wait. I honestly wanted a digimon world game with just updated graphics but were getting that new ps4 digimon world game so i can live with that (i seriously don't like the way it looks).

The point was I was going for was asking what everyone's breakdowns were. My friend from the OP has gotten enhanced versions of all but one of his favorite games, whereas most of my favorite games haven't and even some of the remakes that have been made could use a new release themselves. It pretty much just became a "what remasters/remakes do you want?" thread anyway though.

The mass effect trilogy, which honestly confounds me.
That and RE2 - which I guess is in progress? Or is that just a rumor?

I want this too, but unlikely to ever happen now.
Onimusha I'd just like a HD collection of.
I mainly want to see PS2 and Xbox games remastered or remade. Last gen games still look great and don't need it so much.
One day.
A cleaned-up version of the original Spyro trilogy would indeed be glorious. Replaying them they hold up remarkably well in regards to the camera, much better than I expected, but they would have been so much better had dual analog sticks been the norm.
The original Age of Empires + Rise of Rome Expansion
I want an HD version so badly
This too. Rise of Rome never actually came to Mac so I never played it, but AoE suffers from a lack of modern RTS abilities (idle worker selection, so you can get the worker who disappeared behind that building you created!) and is mostly unplayable on anything approaching a modern system.

Persona 3 Golden for the Vita would be fantastic!
Otherwise I hope for remakes of Mass Effect 1-3 and an HD PC port of Ni No Kuni would be great. And if Nintendo could port/remake those untranslated Fire Emblem games, that would be an instant buy for me.

I'll take it.
a resolution cap couldn't stop me from playing that masterpiece on my PC

As much as I'd like to see KOTOR get a new coat of paint, there is no way they get remastered. The gameplay is too archaic and abstract for most gamers so I think if we did see one, they would probably butcher the combat.. "My lightsaber just went through that guy, but i didn't hit him. BS". Same argument applies for Morrowind, unfortunately.

Any of the Quest for Glory games. They would look and be marvelous in a modern remake.

A proper console remake of Dragon Quest VIII. Although XI looks like a nice return to form.
You should see what you can do with the graphics on PC.
These are in 1080p:
But given the little KOTOR ingredients scattered into newer Star Wars material, and the confirmation that Bioware will be working on a Star Wars game soon, I suspect we might get a KOTOR remake that is altered to fit the new Disney canon.

There's a freaking proof of concept, why won't SEGA just make it, and if they could put the Whitehead engine 1 & 2 on PC with it that'd be great.
Either than that I'd love some port/remaster etc of MGS Twin Snakes, but don't think it'll happen. (glad I still have my GC copy)

Honestly, I'd settle for just a re-translation / script cleanup. The original game holds up well today, but the translation errors really hamper an otherwise fantastic experience. Thankfully, the most crucial moments of the game have no notable issues with the script (that I can recall anyway).
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber
This game is really fantastic, but like many N64 games, it's hard to go back to on the original hardware. Thankfully the issues typically prevalent with games of its era are lessened due to Ogre Battle 64's reliance on highly detailed sprites, but those map textures... I know Matsuno had little to do with this entry, but I'd kill for a remake on the level of "Let Us Cling Together."
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance & Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
The two Tellius Fire Emblem games have a great ensemble cast, fantastic gameplay and map design, and an engaging, epic story. This would be so great to have as a combined package on a handheld. I'd love to play it on 3DS or NX or WHATEVER ANYTHING PLEASE NINTENDO.

F.E.A.R. - Over ten years old now, but the atmosphere and lighting still (imo) hold up. For its time, it was stunning. I would love to see a remaster of this, as long as they could keep the feel of the visceral, brutal, and high-octane combat - it's definitely my favourite game of all time. Hell, I would even love a remaster of 2. They're like Alien + Aliens to me. ... But let's not talk about F.3.A.R...
Grandia II - I'm not sure if this one really counts, because there's already one currently out on Steam, which I've just started playing. It's titled "Anniversary Edition", but it doesn't feature HD resolutions; it's simply the Dreamcast(?) game ported over. It's one of my favourite (J)RPG's of all time, and something I sank countless hours into as a kid. Obviously the gameplay mechanics are a little simple compared to what's available now, but I would love to see a full remaster of it.
Time Commando - Honestly, this is just another game I played religiously when I was really young... I think it was actually the first PC game I ever really played. In my mind, it was an incredible game; the story had me hooked, and the gameplay was extremely fun, as simple as it was. The multiple settings throughout different time-periods was incredible, so having a new version of that would be intriguing.
