The entire Legacy of Kain series. Wish they would have finished the series :(
I thought Defiance wrapped it up, no? It's been a long time since I played it but all I remember was a convoluted time travel story

For most of them a proper remake rather than a remaster but I'll take what I can get
- Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
- Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (originally used the same engine as Age of Empires 2 so porting it to the Definitive Edition engine should be doable)
- The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
- Final Fantasy VI
- Final Fantasy VIII
- Assassin's Creed 1
Played Assassin's Creed 1 recently and it's so clunky. A remaster would need some new controls or something to be viable today, but a remake would be better.

Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Eternal darkness for the GameCube could be so good with a proper remaster.
The original Quake but the asthetic needs to be identical and NIN should actually do the soundtrack.
Deus Ex would be great, it was so ahead of its time.

Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout New Vegas could use a 64-bit version. Even if they change absolutely nothing else about those games, that alone would be a major improvement, as they are very prone to crashing from running out of address space, especially if you have graphics mods installed.
Not saying that these shouldn't have a more stable official release, but hasn't this been solved by mods for a long while now? At least New Vegas I remember when I last set up mods installing a fix for this, it's actually quite stable now if you install all the recommended fixes.
No. This is impossible to solve with mods, even those that modify the executable. The entire executable must be recompiled, and the source code likely modified, to make it 64-bit.
You're thinking of the “large address aware” flag. By default, Windows doesn't allow 32-bit programs to use all 32 bits of memory addresses, because some older 32-bit programs don't work correctly if they encounter a fully-32-bit memory address. A 32-bit program must be specifically marked “large address aware” to indicate that it will still work correctly if it sees fully-32-bit memory addresses, and only then will Windows allow it to use all 32 address bits.
The mod you're thinking of simply sets the “large address aware” flag on the Oblivion/F3/FNV executable. This works because these executables are in fact large address aware; they just aren't marked as such because of an oversight.
That helps, but not much. It only extends the maximum memory that can be allocated in Oblivion/F3/FNV from 2GB to 4GB. A 64-bit Windows program, like Skyrim SE or Fallout 4, can use up to 131072GB of memory, and that limit will increase even further in the future.
Needless to say, these 64-bit games, unlike their 32-bit predecessors, will not crash merely due to running out of address space. That was a major source of crashes in the 32-bit games, so this makes the 64-bit games significantly more stable.

Morrowind
My heart and soul says YES but the rational part of my brain knows they would just screw it up. Morrowind is a product of a long-gone age of gaming and I can't imagine the suits would let it fly today and it wouldn't be the same without its old charms and quirks.

I feel like Morrowind was a "perfect storm" situation that can never happen again. A new version would be... less than good, I feel.
Now Daggerfall, on the other hand. There were many good things about it, but in sum, it was kind of a mess. I would love to see it reimagined with updated gameplay and a tightened up map. I would shrink it down to a Skyrim-like scale, but include a whole second underground map consisting of a massively overcomplicated labyrinth of tunnels and shafts connecting together a bunch of extraneous architecture representing fragments left over from thousands of years and multiple timelines of history. It wouldn't be designed to be navigable. The main quest wouldn't touch on it. It would just be there for maze-fiends like myself to get lost in.

very niche but Skies of Arcadia! I miss my pirate RPG with airship battling featuring main characters that may or may not develop a harem at the end.
Maybe this is moot since they would just do the usual Square Enix “remaster” (read: poorly upscaled and very basic QoL improvements)
I want some love for Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross. Even if they just made it 2.5 HD similar to Octopath Traveller, Diofield Chronicle, etc
- .hack IMOQ (I was coping so hard after GU got a remaster but still nothing)
- Dragon age origins
- Digimon world 3. There have been two reboots/reimaginings of digimon world 1 (re digitized decode, and next order), but never anything about world 2 and 3.

Final Fantasy 9. It's my favourite in the series, and it's gotten lots of rereleases in its original form. But it would be nice if it got a more polished updated remaster.
Though I would be afraid of how modern Square sensibilities might change the pretty iconic character designs.

Deus Ex. The original one. It has such great story and gameplay but is dated by today's standards.
Nokia 3310's snake
The original perfect dark.
A modern remake of Populous could be amazing.
- Parasite Eve
- Prototype 1
- Legend of Dragoon
- NFL Blitz (just a modern upgrade, keep the arcade feel)
- Smash TV
We're actually getting a Star Ocean 2 remaster in November, so I can cross that off the list.

Good old Revolt. It'll be awesome with a remake of the game with the similar feel, realistic driving characteristics and challenging gameplay that's actually fun and difficult to master. I'd love a hyper realistic version of an RC car game just like revolt was back when it launched.
Final Fantasy Tactics
Vagrant Story
but please don't completely change the visual style! just clean them up for modern resolution screens

Beyond Good and Evil.
Absolute masterpiece. Ubisoft has been squandering the IP for decades.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005 version) - That game would sell like hotcake if it came out again. All the recent NFS games seriously lack in story and police chases.
Witcher 1 - It might have been hinted that it's in the works!
Prince of Persia - This series is due a remaster. It would be a shame to have it forgotten (get it? The Forgotten Sands? no? ok).

I know I’m in a minority but DK64! I loved that game as a kid. Maybe it was because my game library was quite small growing up but I spent hours and hours during summer vacation with the DK Crew
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Matrix Path of Neo. I loved that game so much and the last time I tried emulating it was so bad. I was completely hyped at that recent tech demo until I realized that was all it would be.
Im excited for that nvidia ai enhanced rtx thing! now we wont have to wait around for a remaster and can just automagically remaster it
- Spore!
- Prince of Persia - SOT!
- Simpsons Hit'n'Run!
.hack IMOQ. We got the gu remasters, now that’s all we need.
