The last few years in gaming have been full of sequels and remasters. Unfortunately, there's still a huge list of amazing games that can use a resurrection. Here's a list from AskReddit.

1
“LA Noire was gonna get a sequel.”

2
“Tenchu was my entire childhood, I swear. That being said, if you haven't tried Mark of the Ninja, you really should. It's not the same format, but it really scratched a familiar itch for me. Aragami is closer to that Tenchu gameplay but I don't think it's quite as tight as MotN.”

“Discovering Dark Cloud 2 completely blew my mind with how much content it had. It's insane that nobody has tried to copy the formula with modern technology. Lots of modern crafting/dungeon diving games are similar, but it's like....DC2 is still the better game even after all these years. Challenging dungeons, crafting, photography, fishing, golf, a full-fledged city builder with customization, fun storyline and cutscenes, time travel, good graphics for the time, plus other things that I'm sure I forgot. Just listing them out loud I'm like "Holy crap that game was amazing!"

“Star Fox on the Nintendo 64 is still one of my favorite games of all time. I guess arcade style games went out of fashion shortly after that, but it really is an amazing game.”

5
“The Jedi Knight series I feel like doesn't get enough credit for the platform gameplay, especially Academy. I would love to see more.”
6
“SSX Tricky was 10/10 a perfect game to me. Loved that series so much.”
7
“Mercenaries. Loved the mechanics of those games.”

8
“Please someone pick up the IP and make Prototype 3. I can only imagine how awesome it could be with today's tech power.”
9
“No One Lives Forever. It's been ages, and I'm much older so my tastes may have changed, but I recall it being funny and actually fun, with enjoyable stealth mechanics and decent shooting.”
10
"Battle for middle earth. I would give so much, Id even be down for it to just be re-released as is. I keep my Xbox 360 solely for that game because I can't play it on my computer anymore.”

11
“Legacy Of Kain/Soul Reaver, the storytelling was on another level.”
12
“Max Payne. Max Payne 3 still has the greatest third person shooting and ragdoll physics in gaming and that game came out almost ten years ago.”
13
“F-Zero on modern hardware would be eye-melting. I remember playing Wipeout on PSX and feeling that way.”

14
“If we got a Chrono Trigger / Chrono Cross remake or sequel I would legit flip."
15
“Parasite Eve.”
16
“Black and White.”

17
“Conker’s Bad Fur Day.”
18
“I still have fond memories of Jet Set Radio Future. I’d LOVE to see a revival!”
19
“Command and Conquer, but not with a mobile game!”

20
“Army of Two. We need more couch co-op games.”
21
“I’ve been dying for a Midnight Club game recently.”
22
“Simpsons Hit and Run.”

23
“Man I grew up OBSESSED with the Jak and Daxter series. Hands down some of my favourite games of all time. Top 5 easily. Practically all I used to play lmao.”
24
“Wii Sports.”
25
“Bully. Please.”
