Prelude to Darkness - dem crashes man, dem crashes, preferably by someone good, like Iron Tower Studios, original is downloadable for free, you can get the 2 newest versons from the Codex
Colonization - just upgrade graphics, don't make the game "more accessible" - eg make it easier for amputees and re**rds
TES Redguard
Legacy of Kain series - I still get the wierd bug where the cutscenes sounds and video don't match up and I have to sit through the video which is supposed to be 1-2 minutes long for 4-5 minutes.

Waiting for XLEngine (before you start saying it's dead http://www.moddb.com/mods/daggerxl/news/xl-engine-state-of-the-project) and official openmw 0.37

Everyone needs to get the off of "modernizing graphics." Seriously, the vanity is disgusting and a good game is not made by graphics.

Mount and Blade Warband is pretty much like a contemporary Darklands. There are also mods perhaps that can allow you to acquire a darklands like feel.

Some people misuse the word graphics and mean gameplay and ui elements imho. I'd prefer upgrading graphics on older games and not touching a single bit of gameplay. Wouldn't want SS2 to be dumbed down to Bioshocks level do we?

I would really like to see a sequel or perhaps a remake for Shadows of Rome.

A Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodines MMORPG would be awesome as well (A rated R MMORPG).

What's the point? Every MMO with chat feature will inevitably become a cesspool of 14-year old retards asking girls to "cyber".

I have that problem, and it's what I mean in some cases when I talk about "modernizing graphics". A lot of classic RPGs have UI/Fonts that are completely unreadable for me, which leaves me either 1: Shoving the game back on my virtual shelf, 2: Forcing myself to fight the UI to play the game, or 3: Wandering the internet in hope of a mod that fixes the UI/Font.

But yeah, I'm not against modernizing the graphics themselves (character models/lighting/textures/blahblahblah) in some cases as long as the original feel is retained. Lets face it, some older games are uglier than a Nosferatu that fell off the ugly tree, hitting every single branch on the way down. The gameplay might be good, but the graphics CAN make it hard to get into, even if you don't usually care one way or the other about graphics.

Edit: Thanks for reminding me about Prelude to Darkness. I've been meaning to get it for a long time but just now went and grabbed it. Buggy reputation aside, I'm a bit excited going into it.

Something like Emperor: Battle for Dune made in the Dune universe to continue the rts saga past the two games that were released.

Totally understandable. But, to me, that is not a "remake" at all, that is just an update, upgrade, enhancement, or remaster at most. A mod for the UI and graphics for modern systems does not a a new re-made game. A remake is like what Night Dive is now doing with System Shock, or more traditionally, in a movie sense with Psycho or The Stepford Wives or Planet of the Apes, etc, and bunches of others. A remake is a completely separate project done by different people with a new vision on the same idea.

Anyway.

BRING ME SWORDQUEST!

I would love an enhanced edition of Planescape: Torment, Beamdog style!

I think I heard somewhere that it was happening, but I'm not sure where or when I heard that. Has anyone heard the same?

Avalon/Dragontorc on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

Beamdog was just the first company I thought of when it comes to remaking RPGs. But you're right, Obsidian or InXile would be much better.

Beamdog are apparently a bunch of former Bioware employees, some of whom were at BW when MDK 2 and Baldur's Gates' was made.

Risen 3. I've played all three games and must say, that Risen was great. Risen 2 was awesome and hilarious. Risen 3 however... Something was strange about it. Like a bunch of student programmers gathered in a pub and said "Hey, lets remake Risen franchise into super turbo Risen game!" Of course, these guys ate too many unicorns and rainbows, because when I launched the game, all those bright unrealistic colors almost burned my eyes out. Game about pirates, voodoo, ancient magic, demons and all that is ok. But the quality was disastrous.

And I was mostly scared about Patty Steelbeard. I mean, she is different in all three games. Completely. And while you could "see" how she could have changed naturally from Risen to Risen 2, you could never understand, what kind of abomination she was in Risen 3. Her attitude was like of a drunk man and her looks... Fat all of sudden like a sea lion. What happened??

What I did like about the game, was how I could visit old places and meet old characters from previous games. That was nice. But everything else... That game needs a remake.
