I believe this will mostly affects games which were lacking in technology.
I’d personally LOVE to see The Sims 1 or The Sims 2 re-released with performance and resolution upgrades, and, most importantly, made to be open world. Since they’re older, I believe they could very easily render the entire map like The Sims 3, but with the charm of TS1 or TS2.
I cannot think of other games, since most games I see as adequate, whereas TS1 and TS2 were bound by system performance during their respective times.

It’s a shame this game & it’s sequel have been unavailable for purchase for so damn long.
Thank god for abandonware websites
Knights of the Old Republic, Battle for Middle Earth
I played Battle for Middle Earth for so long! Personally, I liked first one better but I don’t think the game would hold up to any strategy games standards nowadays. Once you know a few tactics you are practically undefeated in both of the games.
Kotor was the best game I’ve ever played but I got stuck in a puzzle on the floor in front of a wall . I tried playing it years later again but the loading times were horrible on the xbox.
I just played through it on mobile. It works well! Costs like 10 bucks.
Edit: you will need a Bluetooth controller for your phone though. I would classify the on-screen controls are terrible.
Crazy, I didn’t know that existed. Same loading times as 20 years ago?
I don’t know about 20 years ago but it loads pretty fast on my 200€ phone.
Simpsons hit and run
TES: Morrowind, Fallout: New Vegas, RDR 1
EDIT: Guys, OP is talking about proper remaster. I’d actually like a current gen remakes.
I can’t upvote FNV enough. I would LOVE a modern version, especially if they could incorporate some of the mods that add new areas and questlines.

A game remade only because it’s old will age again. A game remade because it missed its potential the first time is a big improvement.
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
KOTOR 😭😭😭
I think that was just too big of an ask for that studio. They’re really just a port studio, and some of the switch ports of theirs I’ve seen they phoned it in or were not provided enough budget.
To make sure that they don’t do a disservice to what that series deserves I think having that canceled was for the best unless they can get a better studio/budget for it.
Minecraft, lol. Written in Rust instead of Java, extensible, open source.
Like what Minetest and Mineclone currently do. Dont know what languages they use.
Thief and Thief 2
Ooh, I would love this!
GTA San Andreaa
F. E. A. R
No one lives forever. Though the originals are still very much playable, only the graphics are outdated.
Such great games! Unfortunately they’re stuck in IP hell :(

Sadly that’s unlikely to ever get a remake as noone can agree who owns the rights to do so.

Metal Gear Solid. So many hours a buddy and I put into that sucker. I would love to see it have modern graphics.
I liked Twin Snakes but the voice changes and cutscene changes always made me feel like it was far from the remaster I really wanted.
Yeah, they changed too much unnecessarily whilst keeping the rest of the game identical. The addition of first person shooting really broke it in some ways because the original game wasn’t designed that way. I think they’d need to redesign it from the ground up to make the more modern mechanics work properly. Something like RE2 Remake.
Parasite Eve
The only two I’ve ever wanted were Legend of Dragoon and Final Fantasy Tactics.
Add Chrono Trigger and FF6, and you have my list.
