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.

The early entries in the Ratchet & Clank series. I believe they remastered the first three at some point for PS3, but I'd love to see them updated again to today's definition of HD and released on PC as well. Unfortunately I only played the first four games back on PS2 since I switched to full PC gaming since then, but those games were all a lot of fun. After playing the recent PC port of Rift Apart, it made me realize how much I missed playing the series, and if they remastered and ported the entire series to PC, I'd easily lose an entire paycheck to that.

Idk about hit, but decent success maybe? Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers wouldn't be bad with a re-release that fixes the controls (gameplay is mainly a series of mini-games which the timing is off for making attempting completing them a rage inducing task) and the travel map areas redone to have actual purpose instead of "here's a zany spot with cyclical weather where you can throw stuff around to play with our gravity code". The story was pretty good/interesting imo as a Final Fantasy version of Cowboy Bebop.

Throwing in a third suggestion for BAR -- out of all the TA spiritual successors, BAR is the only one that really gives me the feel of the OG game.

Star Ocean 2 was one I've wanted for a while. Less than a month away

Ultima Online comes to mind, which is strange because it wasn't something I played much of. I know it still exists, and there's Shroud of the Avatar as well but I'd specifically like something that still has an isometric view and doesn't constrain by character class but otherwise has more modern adaptations.
