Bloodborne. Or just a 60+ FPS patch...and a PC version.
No One Lives Forever games would be ripe for a remaster.
I really enjoyed Sim Earth as a kid. Just give me an entire planet operating on a geological scale as a sort of "virtual terrarium", and I'll be happy.
Little Big Adventure 2 / Twinsen's Odyssey
Man, I love that game, but it has some things I'd love to see improved by a remaster.

I know I’m in a minority but DK64! I loved that game as a kid. Maybe it was because my game library was quite small growing up but I spent hours and hours during summer vacation with the DK Crew
Dark Souls 1
I'll give them points for fixing the technical issues. But, IMO, slapping some textures (that breaks the original atmosphere) isn't good enough. It would've been amazing to have Demon Ruins + Lost Izalith fixed.
But to be realistic this was nothing more than a cash grab; minimal effort. Which I can't necessarily blame as that's the whole point of people doing anything. People gotta eat.
Lord of the rings; battle for middle earth
Icewind Dale 2 need a remaster / EE edition. I remember reading somewhere that the source code was lost. Same issue with HOMM3 extensions that why there is no HD edition of the full game and why GOG version is still the best.
LA Noire
Matrix Path of Neo. I loved that game so much and the last time I tried emulating it was so bad. I was completely hyped at that recent tech demo until I realized that was all it would be.
Suikoden 3 for sure.
C&C: Tiberian Sun and the Firestorm expansion. I wasn't the biggest fan of the original C&C, but picked up the remaster to show my support in the hopes that Tiberian Sun would get the treatment. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be happening as far as I've seen.

Duck Hunt, but make it realistic.
Whatever happened to gun games on consoles in general? Duck hunt was great when I was a kid, and later we had games like Time Crises. I miss those.
Lightguns don't work on LCD screens, so they were not feasible on most consoles once folks started swapping out their CRTs.
Wii had a handful of light gun like games (that used the sensor bar of course) with the Wii Zapper, but other than that games of this type have needed more niche peripherals (Kinect, PS camera, now VR) that have made them more niche.
Lightguns don't but newer technology does. Guns these days just use cameras and they work fine. There's no technical limitations here.
But I do appreciate your comment because that was an actual thing for a while, so completely relevant.
Right, but "just use cameras" is what I mean by "niche peripherals."
Other than the Wii, no modern consoles have had an installed user base for Move/Kinect/Camera type stuff to make it worth it for many developers to get involved. And even the Wii was just mostly shovelware waggle games, though as I mentioned there were some Wii Zapper games that approximated lightguns.
I think at this point we're past the sorts of external cameras and tracking necessary for lightgun things even more than we already were. This sort of stuff has already moved to VR and I don't know that we're gonna get them back in the physical realm any time soon.
You could easily do it with a Switch controller shaped like a gun and nothing else. It's pretty accurate on its own right, just using motion sensors aka accelerometers. I'm not talking Kinect because that watches you. Completely different concept, though you can do it that way too. Cameras that can scan TVs a thousand times a second to look for moving images are a dime a dozen, not exactly expensive anymore. Maybe 10 years ago, but not today. It does all boil down to money though. Maybe they think those type of games aren't popular anymore, so not enough return on investment?
People don't want to buy a gun to play 1 game, and that seemed to happen often even back in the day with light guns.
FWIW, the joycons have ir cameras too.
Simpsons Hit and Run. So much fun.
Star wars jedi power battles. More people need to know about the second best jedi game with the worst title that ever existed.
Jak II (and probably the others after it but I haven't gotten to them yet so can't say for sure). Not Precursor Legacy though, it's perfect and nobody can tell me otherwise
Edit: jk I forgot Precursor Legacy didn't have subtitles, it could do with those.
Half Life 1 (and 2 at this point, tbh) Actually fuck it let's just re-do all the Valve Source FPS. TAKE MY MONEY
Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 would be an awesome candidate for an AOE Definitive Edition style remake where the mechanics are virtually unchanged but it's given a 3D graphics overhaul with unfixed zoom levels
Tron 2.0 but it'll never happen because it's a split timeline from Tron Legacy :[
