Been thinking recently about some of my favourite PC gaming memories. There are lots of games that have had sequels but there are plenty I'd like to see remade with modern technology but still retaining their classic gameplay.

Thought I'd see what games people would like to see be remade and what changes you'd like to see to get the best out of them.

Personally I'd love to see:

Battlefield 1942 - Still my favourite game of the franchise. Far greater map variety than pretty much any of the other games in the series and it was one of the only ones that let you control naval vessels. I can't think what needs changing other than the graphics.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein - One of my favourite FPS of all time, the Quake 3 engine was just fantastic. Great weapons, great maps so easy to just jump in and play. I think the gameplay probably still holds up today.

Star Trek: Birth of the Federation - Essentially Master of Orion 2 but Star Trek, let down slightly by a memory leak problem and some really bad AI, the memory leak got sorted by modders so really just the AI, some updated graphics and I guess a few new races would be nice. I do love a good turn based strategy and us Star Trek fans desperately need some games.

Ooh. That sounds like something I would really enjoy. Based on it's history can't see this game ever getting a remake though unfortunately.


Deus Ex
Mass Effect
Freelancer
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Dino Crisis
Star Trek: Bridge Commander

OTTOMH...

Unreal
Severance: Blade of Darkness
Thief series (1-3)
Fear series (main game and two expansions)
Deus Ex
Morrowind
Dark Sector (IIRC, that had a very poor release on PC back in 2009)

I thought System Shock 2 was getting a facelift of sorts, or maybe that was cancelled.

Of the top of my head for me would be:

Deus Ex
Mass Effect
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Dino Crisis
Star Trek: Bridge Commander

I am sure there are a lot more but those are what come to mind for now.

Oh yeah no chance of a BOTF remaster but I'd still love one, for me it edged out Bridge Commander but I'd like to see that too, newer graphics and more multiplayer options.

Deus Ex would be cool. I know it's a completely different style but I really enjoyed was it Human Revolution (the first of the new two?).

Out of interest for Morrowind would you just want graphical updates or is there anything from Oblivion and Skyrim you'd want to see in terms of gameplay changes?

UT99. I want it like-for-like. Just updated graphics and models. I want the gameplay to remain the same, I want all the voices to remain the same, the same ease of creating/finding custom maps, server browser etc.

Edited as made a fool of myself. Really struggling to remember one UT from another. I think for me my highpoint came very early 2000s for UT.

Used to play LAN at school.
