You can only choose 3 and choose wisely!

No order needed unless stated!

They wont be changed in anyway shape or form, other then a good next gen face lift.

1. GTA: Vice City - Greatest GTA ever made!

2. Final Fantasy 7 - Even though I'm not the biggest fan of JRPG's i owe a lot to this one game, not only did it help me get into the RPG scene, it also helped me understand how RPG's worked.

3. Duke Nukem 3D - Just because this game is filled with awesome!
 
Metal Gear Solid 1
SSX3 (or Tricky)

Can't really think of many others atm

Vice City on PC still looks half decent IMO, can obviously play it with a console pad if you want.
 
Shenmue 1 & 2 remade using the current Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan! and Ryū ga Gotoku 3 graphics. It really is just asking for it, not to mention to finish the damn story too! COME ON SEGA!

Final Fantasy VII is a far too obvious choice, so I will go with a nice HD version of Final Fantasy XII. Yes I am one that is not on the hate train about this game! This was one of the best looking games for the PS2 and you can already tell that it would have looked really good thanks to it's artstyle and if it wasn't so pixelated.

As Final Fantasy III and IV were remade for the Nintendo DS, I want to see the same for V and VI. Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing a big budget HD console version of some of these especially for IV and VI.

Phantasy Star Online. I want this to be remade into something bigger and better than what it already was. Hell why remake it, when SEGA should just make a new one and go back to this classic!
 
I don't understand the need for remakes. I'd prefer sequels to my favourite games.

Agreed. I mean whilst remakes are nice, they generally offer little over the original product, often leaving you a little disappointed as you play through just to realise you've done it all before but with slightly worse graphics (FFIV DS springs to mind here - whilst awesome in its own rights for being on a modern handheld and whatnot, didn't offer much over its predecessor (well, aside from Four Fiends of the Elements being remixed masterfully)).

I can imagine how a FF7 remake will go actually:

Before release: "OMG NEW FF7 REMAKE COMING OUT FOR PS3 BEST THING EVER."
Week 1: "OMG THIS IS AWESOME"
Week 2: "This is still fun."
Week 3: "Done. Bored. Stupid Square milking people with all these remakes!"
 
Really hoping that they bring some Viewtiful Joe games out on this gen, or maybe just on XBLA, because i can't be bothered to hook up my gamecube.
 
Can't really think of games I'd want remade, all my favourites wouldn't really benefit from a remake (Zelda OoT, Sonic 3, PSO, halo, jet set radio)
Actually seeing a remake of jet set radio would be cool as kreee says though, I'd rather see a sequel.

A game called 'mashed' that i had on the PS2. I don't know why but when i was young, with a few mates round, playing this game in multiplayer had us in stitches.
