Your Most Wanted Remakes and Remasters.

Yeah I wouldn't be at all surprised if RDR is removed from digital stores.
Also won't be surprised if RDR running on Series X is better than the remake of the GTA trilogy is anything to go by.

Quake 2 remaster seems basically confirmed now. Should be unveiled at Quakecon, next week.

Here's hoping for a good job with some new extras. Also, it sure would be nice if current owners were upgraded for free, like Quake 1.

Hopefully it's another Nightdive joint.

Acquire are still around so something that plays like Tenchu is definitely possible, the rights to Tenchu have been been passed between various publishers though, Sony Music Entertainment sold the rights to Activision, then Activision offloaded the rights to Fromsoftware, I'm not sure if they'll be doing anything after Fatal Shadows wasn't the greatest success.

Remasters or any sort of collection are probably a legal nightmare with so many publishers each involved with specific games.

I'd love a remaster of UT99.

Does UT99 need a remaster? I think I played it not too long ago and it ran without any problems whatsoever. I like the Quake port but that's only really because it's on console now. If I was on PC, I'd likely still play the original

After UT3 kinda fizzled, and the UT Alpha was dropped like a hot potato after years of pretending they cared and let fans do the work, I'll be surprised if Epic ever goes back to Unreal again. At this point, Unreal is just synonymous with graphics engine, not a multiplayer game.

Eternal darkness remake or even remaster would be amazing (as long as denns dyack or any of last studio don't go near it) Sadly Niintendo are arsehats about the game from what I understand

It's just free money being left on the table at this point.

I guarantee the demand on the PC would be high if someone did justice to a UT99 remaster.

There's quite a big demand for classic stuff atm in PC space. The System Shock Remake and it's success is evidence of that but that's also due to the absolute state of AAA releases on PC. Command and Conquer Remastered sold incredibly well, the market is definitely there, but I think a lot of people just see console games for what game genres are popular or not, so that's why almost every game in that space is open world with micro transactions/GaaS/team based multiplayer. I reckon a revival of corridor shooters/arena shooters would do quite well, but not on console.

I feel like the relative inaccessibility of classic shooters on console gives the perception of disinterest, but if Epic or Valve were to release a remastered collection of their older games at a decent price it would probably sell pretty well. Whether that's financially worthwhile to them when they have other shit going on that prints money, fuck knows.

Games like Doom and Quake are much more reliant on single player though. I have no idea how many people would want to play UT99 servers on console. I don't think Quake 3 Live was especially successful. And while bots exist, they just don't cut it for long.

Unreal 1 though, that one could potentially see a revival, even if I was always much more of a Quake 2 guy. There's a number of late 90's single player shooters that could be great on consoles. For that matter, I've always wondered why a seminal title like Half-Life is still stuck with only a PS2 version (which played pretty well, mind). Especially considering Valve has kept updating it for modern compatibility even in recent years.

That hasn't stopped them from porting their other games to consoles though. Back when Orange Box and Portal 2 were made, a port of Half-Life Source would have been an interesting XBLA/PSN release.
