I'd much prefer a sequel, but a reboot to L.A. Noire would be just as welcome. Not only would the graphics be top-notch considering what we've seen lately with the Mafia remake set around the same time period, but I feel like Rockstar would be able to learn from some of the more glaring mistakes and improve heavily.
Notably, the whole interrogation mechanic has some glaring flaws with what the interrogation options are called, and in how it chooses to tell you whether you got an answer right.
Command and conquer series. They're the best RTS games honestly.
Knights of the Old Republic 2
Supposedly they are still working on a reboot of the first one. But that one is fine. They were never allowed to finish the second one.
Hands down, Jak and Daxter. Those were my favorite games growing up.
I also wish that Banjo Kazooie/Tooie would get a remaster.
A Hat in Time and Yooka Kaylee scratch that Banjo itch pretty well.
Another for LA Noire, favorite cop game of mine, but also Syndicate holds a special place that should be explored more.
Jade Empire. I'd love a new one but I'd take a remake at this point. Such an excellent, peak-Bioware game.
Black & White! I'm honestly surprised it's just been left to rot. I don't think it's even gotten the GOG treatment.
Yes! There isn't a god game as good after black and white
Chrono trigger and give it the ff7 treatment
You can't mess with perfection. Chrono Trigger is still amazing.
I'm actually against the idea of a reboot / remake for most of the games listed here. They're already good games, a modern update would only serve to render them obsolete in the minds of many and reduce the lasting cultural impact of the original titles. Re releases of the original versions, sure, but full on reboots / remakes, absolutely not.
I believe that, like film, game remakes should be reserved for titles that had potential they never lived up to, or where a developer has a fresh interpretation of a title that doesn't supplant the original, such as the case with Final Fantasy VII.
To that end, some games I personally would like to see remade or rebooted are Whiplash, Jurassic Park Trespasser, Sonic 06, Enter The Matrix, and Nightmare Creatures.
Dragon Age Origins. It’s getting long in the tooth and harder and harder to play on PC, plus you can’t play it on any of the last two PS consoles.
I'd love a Dragon Age legendary edition similar to what Bioware did with Mass Effect.
Biggest problem is that they used a different engine for all 3 Dragon Age games so it would need a lot more work. Maybe someday.
Command and Conquer and it's counterpart Red Alert. But with the love of RA2.
Ape Escape, MediEvil 2, Tombi
Basically games from my childhood that I wouldn't mind getting the Spyro Reignited Trilogy treatment
Oh man Ape Escape. I remember needing to buy a controller with joysticks specifically for it since the default controllers didn't have them.
It's crazy how gaming has evolved.
A lot of classic PS1 era games would be great to see remastered, the control schemes can be odd on some, and for many the graphics did not age as gracefully as the more stylized games.

I would love to see a new Skies of Arcadia game on modern hardware!
Bloodborne
Freelancer. Space games are in demand right now. That's begging for a remaster, remake, or sequel.
I've been seeding a torrent of that for quite awhile because I think at this point it's abandonware.

There was a dos 4x game by logic factory called Ascendency. It was similar to Stellaris but more turn based and has a much more manageable interface. I really enjoyed the game mechanics and game races, which were all very unique. Id love to see it rebooted, but at least I can still play the original on dosbox.
Nothing has ever quite scratched that Ascendancy itch. It really was a great game, even taking off the nostalgia-glasses. A proper remake or spiritual successor would be thrilling!

I miss the Jak games
Legend of Dragoon. One of my favorite turn based RPGs.
Rick Dangerous - It's time
Funny i had the Same thought when i was reading the title
It would be nice to see anything for beyond good & evil, the game had such a fun vibe
I hate to say it, but they have been talking about the sequel for years. At this point even if it comes out, it's probably gonna be so far removed from the original I don't know if I even want it at this point.
WipEout.
Only BallisticNG has recaptured the same level of AG racing magic for me, by literally copying WipEout's physics.
But it doesn't have the graphical polish of the newer games... RIP Studio Liverpool D:

I would love a modern Wing Commander series reboot. However, with Chris Robert’s raking in the cash from Star Citizen, I’m not holding my breath.
Zelda 2. Or a spiritual successor might be even better. The hybrid top-down/side-scrolling perspectives is key to the feel of the game imo.
Legacy of Kain / Soul Reaver series for sure. I would pay absurd amounts of money to play through these again.
It is hardly known, but I miss the action rpg "Lost Kingdom" by FromSoftware for the GameCube. You summoned creatures and monsters in battle with cards and it had a gloomy, eerie atmosphere, I remember some really scary level. I found this at a flea market when I was fifteen, so it was such a special find. It had one sequel, but after that the game disappeared. :<
The Burnout, WipeOut and Ridge Racer series. All of those are perhaps the best arcade racers ever released on consoles, and they're all dead now. I've been playing the PS1 and PS2 games, and they all still hold up tremendously today.
Alot of b tier games that I don't think hit their true potential; just cause, infamous, red faction, sleeping dogs.
Still holding out for Ogre Battle 64, there's really nothing like it.
I would love to see a remake/remaster of Brave Fencer Musashi from the PS1.
Crackdown 2
Robot Arena 2 (2003). I had so much fun with that game as a kid. A reboot with modern physics and graphics would be awesome.
Day of Infamy ... it's my all time fav.
Blood Wake
It was an early Xbox exclusive and seems like no one else played it. If it were released today, I think they could do a lot more with it than when it was first released.
GALARIANS - Old PS1 psychic survivor horror game.
PSYOPS: The Mindgate Conspiracy - PS2 shooter with psychic powers.
