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.
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.
Speaking of Middle Earth, we need a new Shadow of game
Shadow of Mordor took me two attempts to get into it, but I'm glad I went back for the second attempt because the game ended up surprising me with how excellent the storytelling and gameplay was.
Shadow of War was pretty good as well, but the online stuff was starting to kill it for me and it was clearly designed with microtransactions in mind (even though I believe they removed them?). Still a fun game though, and didn't feel like a waste of money especially on sale.
A new entry in the series could be a lot of fun if they held true to what made Shadow of Mordor such a fun game, in my opinion.
Black & White
It's a shame this game & it's sequel have been unavailable for purchase for so damn long.
Thank god for abandonware websites
Fata Deum (not out yet) is a spiritual successor I've been keeping my eye on.
This was such a good game. I'm surprised that instead of making a new version, instead companies are making sequels of every other game
Simpsons hit and run
Need for Speed Underground 1 and 2.
If EA would release them as just full faithful remasters, with no P2W or microtransactions I will break my word that I will never support that piece of shit company again and pay full retail on release day.
I'd like to see the earlier Hot Pursuit and High Stake releases remastered. I loved those long scenic and rural tracks. I played a lot of NFS3, and then a lot of the 2010 reboot because the graphics where better, but I still miss that retro '90s hypercar aesthetic and soundtrack.
The 2010 NFS HP reboot helped supplement my nostalgia, but sometimes I'd just want to go back to that grippy arcade style of driving dynamics, but with modern graphical realism. E.g like this vision of NFS3 ported to use the Unreal 5 Engine:
Hot pursuit was the one that let you play as or against cops, right? I freaking loved that as a kid. I'm not much for racing games, but that's the exception.
Yep, it was a lot of fun doing out maneuver and dropping spike strips at just the most opportune and inescapable moment. NFS3 also has split screen where players could even play on different sides locally during the dance race, or complete as both cops to catch the most races.

I can't for the life of me find the earlier hot pursuit ANYWHERE
I really appreciate this patch to run NFS3 on modern Windows or Wine:
Need For Speed III Modern Patch v1.6.1 [2016/10/28] (HD + Widescreen + Portable)
The author has sence redacted the torrent link for the original game files bundled with a previous patch, but anyone can just as easily go back through intent archive to find it:
Removed by mod
I had a similar notion about if they would make a NFS:U3. Have you played NFSU1 or 2 with mods yet?
TES: Morrowind, Fallout: New Vegas, RDR 1
EDIT: Guys, OP is talking about proper remaster. I'd actually like a current gen remakes.
TES: Morrowind
You mean like OpenMW or a full remake?
Played OpenMW with a bunch of mods, including TES3MP multiplayer mod and played through the game with a couple of friends. Truly incredible experience!
OpenMW is making a Free Software Morrowind engine and Skywind is remastering Morrowind on the Skyrim engine, but what I want is remastered Morrowind on a Free Software Skyrim engine.
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.
We kinda have a FNV remaster. But it requires 3-4 hours of setup minimum, a nexusmods premium account, and luck that nothing breaks…
SPORE and Black and White 2!! We need to bring back God games
Any of Peter Molyneux games would make good remake targets, but you would want to remake the game he hyped, not the game he delivered. I would love to see a development team, with all the new game libraries and faster hardware try to deliver on some of his unfulfilled promises.
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.
KOTOR
I thought the remake was being worked on…?
It's been rumoured to be in development hell for quite a while now. And last week, Sony removed all traces of it from their YouTube and Twitter feeds, which a lot of people are taking to mean it's been quietly cancelled.
Lemmings
While not an official remake, I have a feeling you'll like 
There is at least one with a similar concept called Humanity. A bit too artsy for my taste but good nonetheless.
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.
The teaser for the remake of Snake Eater looks pretty promising.
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).
Zork. The original graphics were garbage.
Freelancer
Amen to that. Flying in that game was super fun, especially with the 'trade lanes'
Also Wing Commander Privateer
I feel like starfield is very similar to privateer if you ignore the main story
Very interesting way of looking at Starfield. I like it.
I'd love to see Descent get remastered.
Have you tried Overload?
It was great. Unfortunately it sold very poorly so the studio abandoned it. But the game is still available and I highly recommend it to any Descent fan.
Yes!
There’s Decent raytraced at least: https://github.com/BredaUniversityGames/DXX-Raytracer
Morrowind. Rpg that doesn't hold your hand through quest, well written plot and sidequests and a superb fantastic setting that is not all medieval Europe. Ashland, siltstriders, giant mushroom mage tower that can only be accessed by super jump or flying. And thosefucking annoying cliff 'bird thing.
Duke Nukem 1,2 and 3D
Who played the duke nukem 1 and 2? I only knew them as shovelwade side scrollers.
In 1995, Flux magazine ranked the game 39th on their Top 100 Video Games writing: "Without a doubt, the best platform game for the pc ever created." (Wikipedia)
Doesn't really sound like shovelware.

(raises hand) It was me, I did.
