Licensing issues often leave many games forgotten. But all that aside, here are 10 classic games desperate for remasters.
The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.
Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.
Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
I don't like when publishers force developers to add online features to known single player only titles
It's not vital. But if you decide to add online to a game. You better make sure it's good. Way too many shitty online games.
I've been playing video games since the NES days, so I could care less about online multiplayer. It's not very essential to my gaming needs. I actually think getting smacked in golden eye, street fighter, mk and other games by the person sitting right next to you was more fun but online brought more competitiveness. Online doesn't really matter to me cause IMO hooking up a second controller is just as fun. Multiplayer could go away tomorrow and I would still enjoy gaming.
Multiplayer does often feel forced and seems like it will at times detract from the production of the single player--which is especially problematic if single player is the focus of the title (Like Mass Effect 3, one could argue).
I think having a separate studio produce the multiplayer could produce some better results.
I think the fact that multiplayer was even considered was a waste of time. Batman was doing just fine without it.
