Shadow of the Colossus Got already a Remake so I say crash twinsanity Sly Cooper and Jak and Daxter

[@russelldeane4591]

State of Emergency and Smugglers Run would be great games for remake.

[@hatredforhumanity]

You know half of the games is not playstation only right?

[@hamishdrummond9962]

Timesplitters 2 100%

[@muhamadikhsankurniawan9014]

MK Shaolin Mobk will great if have a remake

[@ChristianFrates1997]

The early 2000s are the golden age of gaming.

[@SonicTheDarkHedgehog]

Correction! 80s and 90s were the true golden age of gaming.

[@coolbreeze3793]

@@SonicTheDarkHedgehog I’d say those times paved the way but to each their own. Games in the early 2000s were muahh.

[@MR.__G]

Yes the 6th generation of gaming (ps2, Xbox, gamecube) was the best !! I’m my opinion you can’t find a generation with a better gaming library.

[@gaminggoof1542]

And 2010s

[@Leo-pd4fc]

I've started gaming in 2007 when I was 5 years old kid and Ps2 was my first gaming console. Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper are my childhood of gaming. ❤🎮

[@a.jthomas6132]

The Simpsons: Hit and Run remake? Yes please! We needed it.

[@mattalan6618]

except it wont happen seeing as Disney owns the rights

[@teneesh3376]

If it did get remade, I would love if the Halloween level was finished. The game was definitely rushed and that level was very unfinished. Other than that and the art style and on foot controls, nothing really needs improving. The vehicle controls and missions are really great

[@jamesthecool2560]

I agree with you The Simpsons Hit and Run Remastered or Remake will be a Good idea because I miss playing The Simpsons Hit and Run

[@jsmith3946]

@@jamesthecool2560 if it did get remade it would end up being a x box exclusive because it was made by Activision and not EA

[@BrandonLeopardGaming]

​@@jsmith3946actually Disney owns the rights to the Simpsons so if they do a remake of hit and run it won't be with Activision at all, it'll be with somebody else.

[@pokemonslayer3345]

A Spider-Man: Friend or Foe remaster would be amazing, I loved playing that on the PS2 when I was a kid.

[@filig9]

That was a good list, but i do miss The Warriors! A really good game that deserve a remake

[@DrewSkee661]

Facts

[@ro7a25]

Facts I bought it for my ps4 pure nostalgia

[@PwerRanger01]

Needed.

[@pokemonslayer3345]

I would love a Tony Hawk American Wasteland remaster. I know it's not a fan favorite but it's the only Tony Hawk game I played as a kid and I enjoyed it.

[@MrSkullMerchant]

Not a fan favorite? First iv heard of this 😮 its one of the best tony hawk games

[@Frawriest]

One of my favorites too after THUG1

[@moresomoze]

Thug for sure is the best American wasteland was a headache generator

[@a.jthomas6132]

Bully deserve a sequel since it has been almost 20 years.

[@hamishsewell5990]

The LoTR games and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter are PS2 that I’d love to see remakes of

[@Menahartvibes]

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile 🔥🔥

[@dreamguardian8320]

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter would be great to have back, for PS4 and 5.

[@hamishsewell5990]

@@dreamguardian8320 yeah, and they could get Temuera Morrison back to do the play Jango again

[@maxmarauder64]

This video needs a part 2 to include: True crime L.A & N.Y, The Warriors, Jack and Daxter, brothers in arms, Black, Lords of the Rings, Socom, Scarface, Sly Cooper, OG Star Wars battlefront and Bounty Hunters, NBA Streets… the list goes on.

[@jamesmcdonald9588]

Loved the scarface game, well underrated

[@bartoszgromadzki2484]

I would add Shellshock nam 67, Manhunt and MK shaolin monks👍🏻

[@mortadasaleh7423]

I think Rule of Rose should be have a remake. The game has tons of flaws, but it has lot of potential to be remade into a great game.

[@ALLROSEGOLD]

I came to comment this ! Would love an obscure remake as well !

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

Another rare game on the list is Blood Will Tell. The game had an interesting gimmick even though the game was kind of mediocre. I don't see that getting remade since Sega doesn't fully own the rights to that game.

[@Adam-M-]

I'm so glad someone remembers Downhill Domination. It's a great game, and I can only imagine a similar game on mountainboards.

[@andrewhaase1826]

Honorable Mentions: [These may be obvious, but these deserve a remake. Or by all means, a genuine re-release!] *The Original 4 Ratchet and Clank Games *The Sly Cooper Trilogy *Parappa The Rapper 2 *God of War 1 and 2 *Xenosaga Series

[@fearlesscheshirecat1411]

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age is easily one of the best games ever that deserve a remake.

[@jeffreydean5112]

Absolutely love this game!

[@Frawriest]

100% too many people missed that game

[@T.Toney89]

MANHUNT with RDR2 graphics is a freaking DREAM!!!

[@noirczar5280]

Pretty fire list. This definitely bright back some great gaming memories with The Suffering & Psi Ops, but I think Onimusha deserved a mention.

[@TerriblyAwesomeGames]

Bully, The Suffering, and Burnout! Oh man, those would be amazing. Never heard of Downhill Domination until now and now I need to check it out. Thank you as always!

[@arthurperalta104]

Can you imagine what Hulk ultimate destruction would look like with today’s game graphics we need it

[@Dbf1339]

That game was addictive I beat it and remember just restarting 😂

[@ChanceOfLuckZer0]

I’m shook that Dark Cloud made the list. Absolutely one of my favorite games of all time!

[@Dbf1339]

Same!

[@danknhshinki73]

No Devil May Cry or God of War on the list? It think those classics deserve some remakes.

[@jarredkrum9894]

Why they still better then a lotta new games tbh and still hold up .

[@MrDuellane]

It may be an obscure title, but a remake of Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds with the Arkham combat engine would be amazing to see in this day

[@sorahearts3317]

Absolutely yes on Dirge of Cerberus FF VII!!

[@yourhomiechillinvibes]

PS2 is the best console of all time and always will be! Fight Me!

[@Snaaake_Beater]

Crash twinsanity definitly

[@JustAVerySmith]

Thank you for bringing up Resident Evil: Code Veronica! With RE4 remake out, this is the obvious next project!

[@kurthill9070]

I never got why they gloss over RE:CV; it is technically the third game chronologically when you consider RE3: Nemesis was more of a RE2.5 or a RE:2 DLC than a sequel.

[@feplays007]

From the list, I think the ones that can really be re-released as Remake are Code Veronica and Tony Hawk's.

[@someguy42093]

Imagine shadow of rome running with god of wars engine. Awesomeness

[@BrandonLeopardGaming]

Hard to believe the Crash Bandicoot PS2 titles are not on this list for a really good reason.

[@jackfinley199]

I 100% agree that all the Tony Hawk Games should be remastered! Just as long as they include Bam Margera!

[@poisonedivysaur]

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance of the final fantasy world both great games both not what i expected in the best way.

[@jamalvargas6146]

I Want a Lethal Enforcers (1992) Remake Or TV series I'd binge that In half a Weekend

[@izzymoonbow36]

i would like a remake on some of the sims 2 games from ps2 and resident evil outbreak.

[@duescaymania2940]

I would love to get a monster rampage world tour remake, that game was so fun. As well as some movie tie in games like Madagascar and over the hedge

[@heroboygamebase2286]

Should've put Xenosaga I - III on the list. I think Bandai Namco should bring back the series a remake.

[@davanime877]

A Remake of Def Jam FFNY with Drake, Rick Ross, Skrillex, and more will be a dream for us

[@mattalan6618]

gonna be a bit difficult due to licensing and the fact a lot of the old roster isnt even a part of Deaf Jam anymore

[@heyzeus7007]

Hulk was sooo good. I also remember this little detail where if you picked up a civilian by accident the game gave you an option to just place them back on the ground and hulk would squat down a bit, and just pat them on the head.

[@iyabbzz]

Outside of PS2, imagine an Eternal Darkness return. The sanity meter in modern day would be INSANE (puns intended)

[@newageBoundhippie]

god I wish Nintendo would at least give us a Switch remaster of Eternal Darkness...I'd rebuy it in a heartbeat ( I still have the original and a Gamecube )

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

There are many other underrated PS2 games that deserve a remake to reintroduce them to today's gamers; Ape Escape 2, The Getaway, Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness, Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Soul Reaver 2, and Prince of Persia Warrior Within just to name a few

[@tenaciouspoetry]

The getaway for real

[@segagirladventurespico]

Another great video ❤ I have the punisher 😊

[@iyabbzz]

I’d love hit and run so much! It’s a money pit waiting to happen, nostalgia is a crazy way to make money. For SSX we have rider republic to replace it sadly. Can’t see the rest ever returning

[@Menahartvibes]

But I would love a Simpsons game where you can probably create your own character and just do cool missions lol 😂

[@ARIXANDRE]

Graet list, with some deep cuts, though I wouldn't expect any licensed games to make a comeback.

[@JidionisthebiggestMenace]

Great lost MoJo. PS2 games are legendary

[@paulsalopree7809]

The suffering is an amazing game along with the voice actors and story along with multiple endings depending on your actions...I will be waiting for midway to do their thing...also code veronica x

[@sebastiangrimm4472]

Freedom Fighters was soo underrated! Also, Maximo/Psy-Ops, The Suffering, Burnout. So much awesome Games we had

[@blanketmobbypants]

I remember seeing Ico in target as a kid and thinking that game looks cool. It was ahead of its time. I wanna play it one day

[@c.s.-lebenskunst3171]

Bully was a masterpiece ❤

[@OriginalTYB]

Honorable mention “The Warriors” ‼️‼️ I need that remake in my life

[@partradio8]

The Punisher, Bully, The Thing, The Simpsons Hit and Run, The Suffering, and Burn out 3 are my pics for needing remasters. Loved these games as a young adult and would love to see them now with a fresh coat of paint

[@shogunn2517]

I will pick up and play Freedom Fighters even today. That and Urban Reign are the reasons I keep my PS2 on the shelf. It isn't just a very simple yet refined 3rd person shooter the squad base element is something I don't think I can find in another game sense. Not the way Freedom Fighters did it at least. Cant say enough about that game. Definitely shouldn't have been abandoned.

[@Xelos-wq1xh]

Games | would want remade: Fatal Frame Manhunt Jak and Dexter Sly Cooper | love how you added Psyops that game blew my mind and to this day it still brings back great memories! :)

[@rahmellbrown162]

Just seeing ya starting with The Punisher, I know this is gonna be a good list

[@ryanmarshall778]

I forgot about Burnout 3!! I got that for Christmas years after it came out thinking my aunt just got me a crappy racing game, turned out to be my favorite gift that year lol

[@canontheory]

Devil May Cry 1 is the number one game that needs a remake, Im surprised it wasn’t on here.

[@KingKlose82]

Great list. +NBA Street

[@SpiderHulkThing]

I definitely agree with Punisher, Bully, Hulk, and Simpsons Hit and Run. Would also like to see remastered Godfather and the Warriors.

[@lugotiburon4581]

Haven Call of the King was my favorite on the PS2. It was supposed to be a trilogy but alas, only the first came out. 😩

[@RayRaeTV]

Freedom Fighters was one of my FAVORITE games! Core Memory unlocked.

[@justthat69]

Dude, I thought I was the only one who wanted downhill domination remake. I remember playing on ps2 as kid man good times. That and code veronica X remake would be kick ass.

[@timalice-2833]

The ones I keep hoping for are the Shadow Hearts series. I kept my ps2 solely to be able to play those 3 games. A remake or at the very least a good remaster would be incredible

[@_JPlays_]

Ghost Hunter is one I really think deserves a remake. Hidden gem on the system, and a blast to play.

[@LestatandBerial]

Dark cloud 1 and 2 were some of my favorite titles on the PS2.

[@Snaaake_Beater]

Burnout and motor Storm need to Comeback

[@stevencraik9354]

Ray stevenson played the punisher in punisher warzone.

[@Menahartvibes]

They should definitely remake the Simpsons hit and run game for all consoles including PC too. 🤩👏🏾😮

[@jsmith3946]

it was made by Activision which is own by Microsoft so probably wouldn't come to ps5 if it did get remand

[@xAlexpark11x]

Dej Jam Vendetta, NBA Street 2, Burnout 3

[@crustywaffles1110]

MAN I need to play the Punisher again.

[@rlohn2352]

I hope we get a Dead Space 2 remake soon! I enjoyed the remake of the first one very much..

[@Legendof412]

THUG and Ico I would love to see them get a remaster. Same for Scooby-Doo Night of 100 Frights. Really underrated game

[@RealOGfikey]

Definitely Veronica X remake. That game was class! If Capcom doesn't do a remake of it there will be no pie for them tonight!

[@malic_zarith]

The old Hitman games definitely need a remake. Codename 47 is the intro to the series and it aged like milk. It's meme worthy, but it hasn't aged well.

[@xen3588]

neopets the darkest fairy is also a game i would put on this list it’s probably the most under rated game of the ps2 era.

[@TheAnimeMegaFreak]

I think Extermination needs a polish remake

[@Woody247]

Some of my absolute favourite games by a mile

[@mjdf122]

So many great PS1 and PS2 games need to be remade which has been happening for PS3 PS4 and PS5

[@herrypottier4201]

An honorable menton would be hunter: the reckoning it was a fun top-down shooter that would be awesome to play again

[@MrChuckdog89]

Tony Hawks Underground was one of my favorites all time on GameCube I definitely hope it’s remade

[@sharebear421]

Ring of red would be an awesome pick

[@davidmanning2859]

As a RE fan that has CV my personal fav i have been hoping for a remake since the og RE remake on the cube. Capcom seems not damn near ignore CV these days. IF it does get a remake i think they may have to change somethings about Alfred cuz nowadays there would be some backlash about certain things.

[@dulanjana5326]

Moreover how about The Constatine ,the x files: resist or serve and need for speed most wanted ? i think they deserve a remake too

[@deondraemcknight232]

Yes to the Simpsons hit and run ssx tricky and need for speed underground honorable mentions the nba and nfl street games and the first two def jam games

[@mynqmeis123]

Haven't watched list yet but they need to remaster or even bring back kill zone those games on ps2 and 3 were so much fun

[@dulanjana5326]

i believe 100% the thing must be remake as it is the missing plot in the timeline❤️

[@SenorRusty]

I’d much rather have a midnight club dub edition over need for speed underground!! Please remaster that and keep the music!!

[@trentonrestoule9318]

Love seeing downhill domination, Tony hawk and hulk on here and I 100% agree but not having any jak game is criminal.

[@jadenzombieslayer1569]

[@Jianichie]

Gauntlet Dark Legacy. You can keep it as is and just give it a fresh coat of paint. It's one of the few games I have no problem beating again for the umpteenth time.

[@MrSberg1000]

Two things: 1. When it comes to the Punisher you forgot Ray Stevenson (Punisher: War Zone). 2. Honorable mention: Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.

[@jsmith3946]

the guy who wrote the streak played the Punisher cool

[@MrSberg1000]

That would be Ray Stevens you're thinking about.

[@hanzosiku]

I really really want the Punisher remake.😢 I still play ultimate destruction. Would also like a remake of psi ops .

[@o98571]

Oh it starts with a game I often think of. The punisher. This definitely deserves a remake.

[@showtimeswissR]

The Bouncer is my #1 game they NEED to remake, that game was soooo Good and one of the first games on ps2 with multiple endings based on the decisions you make. With today technology this game would be a classic!!

[@jarredkrum9894]

Id prefer a sequel over a remaster for bouncer

[@kellykelly3581]

I’m craving a Tony hawk undergound remaster!!!

Would love to see Manhunt remakes (or a sequel) with their modern RAGE engine, but I'm afraid we'll never see that happen anytime soon.

[@robynwolph3836]

There is A BIG difference between a remaster and a remake. The Kingdom Hearts HD collections are remasters. Considering that bit, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 needed to be on this list.
