20 Gamers Share What Videogames They Want To Play With Remastered Graphics
It's always nice to see the games we love receive graphical updates.
The '90s is known as the golden age of console and computer games. Kids of that era played titles that are considered the best to this day.
Now that '80s and '90s kids are all grown up, they want to relive the nostalgia of playing their favorite games, but this time with updated systems and graphics. In terms of technology, games have come a long way.
We have transitioned from 2D pixel games to stunning 3D CG. That's why gamers often wonder what the games they loved back then would look like with modern HD (or even Ultra HD) graphics.
Remasters also introduce the games of the past to a new generation, increasing the fan base of the franchise. Some developers include a feature that allows gamers to switch between the old and new graphics.
For those who have lost their love for games, remasters can serve as a way to rekindle that passion. Remastered video games are ultimately a positive development, provided they deliver properly updated graphics (with the ability to toggle between old and new graphics), fix the defects of the original, and allow users to play their favorite games on next-gen systems.
Are you curious about what titles people want to see with updated graphics? We've compiled a list of those titles from the Ask Reddit community.

Old games are the ones that deserve a remake or remaster.
Remasters from previous-gen consoles are generally frowned upon by industry critics. Gamers revisit games because of nostalgia.
That's why development studios should stop creating updated games just to milk the franchise. Did your preferred game make it to this list?
