8 Video Game Remakes I Can’t Wait to Play

Jul. 7, 2024

If I’m honest, from the get-go, I’ll tell you that I don’t really like video game remakes. While we have seen some good game remakes in recent years, most games are nothing but attempts by AAA studios to make more bank. Having said that, I’ve had a long gaming career. As such, it is only natural that I’ve run into my fair share of games that have etched themselves into my soul. I’ll also admit that these games are quite old and not really enjoyable for modern gamers.

1. Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake

Sadly, we have heard little about it ever since then. All I can hope for is that development is going smoothly and not really being abandoned like XDefiant and Skull and Bones.

I vaguely remember walking through the town of Silent Hill as James during my PS2 days. Besides the weird camera angles that annoyed me, I remember falling in love with the game and being terrified of it at once. So it was only natural that I was equal parts excited and scared seeing theSilent Hill 2 remake trailer. Thankfully, the game does away with that god-awful camera and amps up the visual fidelity up a notch.

I’ll be honest. I haven’t played any Witcher game except the latest iteration. And while Gwent: The Witcher Card Game did quench my thirst for that mini-game, I want more. I could go back to Witcher 1 but playing a 2007 game doesn’t seem right now. This is also why I was very excited when I learned about the Witcher Remake being in development.

Any gamer long enough in the trenches knows about Big Boss and his adventures in Metal Gear Solid. MGS Delta will focus on Big Boss’ origins and trace them back to his story. Konami has boasted that the new Metal Gear Solid Delta remake will feature “cutting-edge graphics and 3D Audio.”

I’m not a big fan of cinematic video games. However, I still remember my amazement when Until Dawn was initially released for the Sony PS4. Despite not having a console, seeing the gameplay video was as fun as playing it. However, with the Until Dawn Remake confirmed and coming with a slew of upgrades and changes, I am very excited.

The upcoming Until Dawn Remake is being handled by a different developer. As such, there are a lot of changes such as the newUnreal Engine 5, a brand-new lighting system, and a different background score.

Star Wars KOTOR takes place in an ancient time as a force user torn between a war between theGalactic Empire and Darth Malak. While I’ll be honest by telling you, that I am not a huge Star Wars fan, I am looking forward to the upgraded lightsaber battles and shooting that will drop with it!
