June is almost here and with June comes a whole bunch of video game trailers. With over 100 new games announced every June, there is more than a slight possibility of them including a remake or two with those announcements. There is a possibility that one of these games listed will get its time to shine. Personally I am hoping for one of the ones on this list I’m compiling. Here are some games that need to be remade.
Metal Gear Solid
The original PS1 classic deserves a full modern remake to match the ambition of its sequels. Metal Gear Solid 3 got the full remake treatment in 2025, so a new remake being announced now is probably way too soon. Metal Gear Solid Collection 2 is coming later this year, though, so there is Metal Gear hype going into June already.
Simpsons: Hit and Run
Grand Theft Auto 6 comes out later this year. Simpsons: Hit and Run is essentially a Grand Theft Auto style game, but set in the world of the Simpsons. It’s as weird and as fun as you imagine. A remake of this hilarious game would be a welcome addition. I would love to be Homer and driving around and hitting everyone I saw. No one can kill their show and like their cartoon counterparts, they just bounce back.
Crimson Skies
Before Halo 2 ruled Xbox Live on the original Xbox console, Crimson Skies was king. I never got the hang of being good in the multiplayer aspect of the game, but the story for it was a lot of fun as well. Xbox’s newly appointed Chief Strategy Officer Matthew Ball told Bloomberg that his focus will be reviving Microsoft’s storied franchises, and Crimson Skies fits that description perfectly. Crimson Skies never got the sequel it deserved, but a remake of the game could revive interest in it.
Next month or the next few years, it doesn’t matter when these games get announced, they just need to be announced. New generations are missing out on some genuinely great games.
