We are getting a lot of successful games being remade on modern gaming systems much like movie remakes overtaking the genre.
In both media, I cannot help but feel as if a large cache of material is going unused in solid ideas for movies/video games that were originally poorly executed being revamped in to the entertaining material it always had the potential to be.
So what video games fit this criteria?
What was a great concept or idea or mechanic or plot point for a video game that deserves to be remade in modernity?
Warcraft III could have been a really cool remake. All they had to do is increase the poly count, perhaps chisel the animations a little (which were already very good, Blizzard had very good animators) make the menu a little more detailed (polycounts, texture resolutions, some sculpting etc.) and voila!
