Not counting the Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Dead Space franchises since it'll be too easy as 99% of every poster's list is going to be just them. Also not counting multiplayer games, what would be the top 5 horror games you'll want a remake of the most assuming they're going to do a good job at it.

Mine would be in no order

Martian Gothic - RE Clone taking place on a Mars

Carrier - RE clone but takes place on and in a large Carrier Ship

Deep Fear - RE clone but takes place within a few deep underwater facilities.



System Shock 2


Extermination


Here's mine, what about your top 5 horror game remakes? Remember no multiplayer and no Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Dead Space.

 

[Imtjnotu]

We want DINO FUCKING CRISIS

 

[graywolf323]

I’m not a horror fan but Siren seems like one that a lot of people would like

 

[March Climber]

After seeing Silent Hill 2 remake, I think we are getting very close to a point where the graphics and (especially) lighting can finally match the full vision of some of these past games. If it was possible I would want the following games all remade next generation with lumen/ray tracing to add to their horror.

Half-Life 1
Parasite Eve 2
Doom 64
Blue Stinger
Hexen

 

[Radical_3d]

If I ever hear one more time the word “remake” this year I’m gonna scream. How about something new?

Deadly Premonition. It seems like this game is cursed. All the tweaks/guides on steam just to run this game on PC seems like a headache. People have resorted to emulating on rpcs3.

Would love to see a modern take on the Kenji Eno trilogy (D/Enemy Zero/D2) that still keeps the atmosphere and style of the original.

 

[Jesb]

Eternal Darkness over anything else.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

We want DINO FUCKING CRISIS

This

Same style as Resi 4 remake with the camera zoomed out a bit more

 

[Perrott]

Dino Crisis (PS1) – Eternal Darkness (GC) – Haunting Ground (PS2) – Rule of Rose (PS2) – Siren (PS2)

Let's remake the word remake.

 

[GrayChild]

While I do think there's overreliance on remakes nowadays, there are some really flawed gems that deserve a second chance.

1. Rule of Rose
2. Obscure
3. Haunting Ground
4. Nocturne
5. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

 

[MasterDerico]

Illbleed, Clock Tower 1 and 2.

 

[killatopak]

Dino Crisis
Fatal Frame
Bioshock

 

[IDKFA]

 

[Cakeboxer]

Heretic
Blood
The 7th Guest
Condemned
Phantasmagoria

 

[SNPlayen]

The last of us 5 more times

 

[The Cockatrice]

Half-Life 1

 

[jufonuk]

Fear
Return to castle Wolfestien

 

[Fortuneelsewhere]

P.T with ray tracing and an alternative ending

 

[SJRB]

 

[Bloobs]

Blood
Dino Crisis
Condemned
The Suffering
System Shock 2

 

[Radical_3d]

Let's remake the word remake.

 

[xrnzaaas]

System Shock 2 definitely deserves a remake, it's a shame we're only going to get a remaster.
Clive Barker's Undying with the same atmosphere.
I'm glad Nocturne was mentioned as I have very fond memories of this game.
Remakes of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark and/or Waxworks could be very cool. The og games were super creepy.
Nightmare Creatures was also very unique and it shouldn't be a forgotten IP.

 

[T4keD0wN]

 

[The_Observer]

Doom 3
Condemned
Clive Barker’s Undying
Call of Cthulhu game(s?)from around 2005 (never played it but would like to)
Shadow Man

It was not easy to count 5 while omitting SH. There’s not many horror game gems, I feel.

 

[TastyPastry]

1. Dino Crisis and System Shock 2
2. Bioshock, Condemned 1+2, F.E.A.R

 

[RagnarokIV]

Ripper Remastered
Black Dahlia remastered
Dino Crisis
Phantas 1+2 remastered

You've got a good list. I especially liked Extermination back when I got a PS2. Not only the graphics were good for its time but it was rare to get a survival horror with control that doesn't suck. The icy mountain setting was novel and cool.

 

[Sintoid]

Weird Dreams
An Amiga classic that deserves a Remake

 

[KaiserBecks]

Directed and co-written by the creator of Silent Hill, Keiichiro Toyama.

Yes, I know that it's already a remake of the first Siren game, but it's 16 years old and trapped on the PS3.
Would love to see Sony showing the ip some love. I believe the PS2 version of the original game is coming to Playstation Plus this month, so that's a good sign.


Edit: Also thumbs up for Condemned. It's a shame Bloodshot isn't backwards compatible.

 

[Gubaldo]

+1 for return to castle wolfenstein

 

[jufonuk]

Dementium
Eternal Darkness

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Quake

I want to shoot nine inch nails into the fur of a Shambler in 4K, please.

 

[Hohenheim]

Eternal Darkness.
What a amazing, mindblowing game that was.

A full remake with camera like the modern resi evil remakes.. yes please!

 

[EerieArcade]

Scratches
Obscure
Nightmare Creatures
Koudelka
Hellnight

THANK YOU! I was thinking and thinking about that game i played years ago and couldn't remember the name. Scratches was great.

 

[EerieArcade]

Scratches is fantastic. I need to play it again but not sure where to actually buy it from these days.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Oh they stopped selling it. My luck i have bought it years ago. Someone on Reddit said:

From a video I just watched with an interview with the creator of the game, he encourages people to pirate it because there's no way at all to buy it anywhere. He wants people to play it more than he wants money. He just asks that people add the game he and his team are developing now, Asylum, to their wishlist on Steam.

Not sure if true, but if a game is unavailable at all it sucks.

 

[dan76]

Dino Crisis.... and we are getting Shadows of the Damned.

I'll have a look around to see if I can find a copy. Thank you. I've added Asylum to my wishlist - it looks like my type of horror.

 

[March Climber]

I know about this and while it is nice and I appreciate the recommendation, it’s not what I’m wanting out of Half-Life 1.

 

[poppabk]

From the warped mind of the Professor comes a new breed of horror game.

 

[The Pleasure]

 

[Mr Hyde]

Parasite Eve is probably my most wanted horror remake right now. The original still holds up but a remake on current gen hardware in the vein of Resident Evil would be fantastic.

Haunting Ground is another one that I want remade but I don't think Capcom have the balls to do it considering the current climate in the west. It would probably be altered heavily due to it's taboo subjects and sexual undertones and then it's pointless. I would even take a simple remaster or re-release because it still holds up quite well and it deserves to be released from PS2.

 

[paolo11]

Parasite Eve and Clock Tower

 

[Shakka43]

There is a lot more but this would be a nice 5 to have first.

Edit:
After posting, Metroid Fusion came to mind, the game actually have some cool horror feeling about it, a Dread style remake would be a dream.

Funny you should mention Parasite Eve...I've just started it. Opening scene in the opera house was pretty harrowing!

 

[dragonyeuw]

It escapes me why Capcom hasn't remade Dino Crisis in RE engine. Considering every so often they send out a poll asking fans if they want it and I'm pretty sure the answer is always definitively yes....what the fuck are they waiting for??

 

[Sleepwalker]

Cold fear.
