HD remasters appear to be a dime a dozen in this generation, often being used to tide fans over whilst they wait for bigger releases. A lot of these definitive editions are for great games that are truly deserving, like Sleeping Dogs and Dishonored but there are also many that have been neglected. These are the games from last generation that I think truly deserve a HD remaster.
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.
Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.
A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.
Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.
Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.
I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.
Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.
I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

A Red Faction Guerrilla remake would be pretty cool, but I feel it'd need rebuilding from the ground up to make it worth it tbh, so probably better for a sequel/reboot, because the destruction in that game can still hold its own to this day - imo - so to get pushed any further to warrant a remaster/remake, it'd need a wholly rebuilt engine.
Enslaved would be cool as well, so long as they changed the.. odd ending. I'd go through it again for that!
Agreed on inFamous. Would also really like Mass Effect games (never got a chance to play)
Ah man would love a remaster of Enslaved, excellent game
Not a bad list. Enslaved, Red faction:G, Bulletstorm, Infamous, and Red Dead, are all really great games.
