Besides, fans on PS5 and the Xbox Series X would love to go back to the game. While the original two Max Payne games are currently being remastered, fans of the third iteration are still waiting for the announcement that they'll be able to revisit the city of São Paulo.

Just Cause 2

There are few games quite as chaotic as the Just Cause series, and Just Cause 2 took that to new levels by quite literally instituting a chaos system. With a wide-open world that begs players to explore it, an incredible story involving the take-down of a dictatorship, and great gameplay, it's disappointing that fans haven't been able to return to it.

Just Cause 2 was one of the most underrated PS3 games, and a remaster could help it get the attention it always deserved. With graphics and a frame rate in desperate need of an update, the remake would help get some more eyes on the franchise from a game released in 2010.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands

With Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands having just come to Xbox Game , fans have been replaying the game — and realizing that it's in desperate need of a remaster. As a huge open world with significant variety in its settings, the game is massive, but fans on PS5s and Xbox Series Xs aren't exactly able to play.

Though it's a more recent release than many other games needing remakes, as it was first on shelves in 2017, it could still use some graphics improvements and the opportunity to be playable for fans on the next generation of consoles. The game could also use some updates for its AI to help make NPCs feel more lively.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine

A game that saw its initial release in 2011, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine could certainly use some updates. With the console game only available on PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, it's been nearly a decade since many fans have been able to play it.

The gameplay is fun and has a quick pace, but limited graphics hurt it in 2022. A full remaster could help breathe some fresh life back into the game, and with a sequel on the way, it could certainly help remind fans of just how good the Warhammer 40,000 franchise can be.

Spec Ops: The Line

While Spec Ops: The Line is a game from the 2010s that deserves a sequel, it also needs to be remastered pretty badly. With an excellent story that questions the benefits and reality of warfare — and using warfare in video game settings as a whole — the game was ahead of its time in adding heavy and thought-provoking narratives to the medium.

Unfortunately, the game isn't likely to ever have a sequel, thanks to low sales figures. Still, a remaster could help bring the game to gamers in 2022, where games like The Last of Us 2 have embraced the kind of mature gameplay and tones of Spec Ops: The Line. It's likely the game would do a great deal better today.

Star Wars Battlefront

After Star Wars Battlefront was released in 2004, fans were hungry to see more Battlefront content, which has led to numerous sequels. What it hasn't led to is a full remaster of the original games. While the game suffered criticism for its lack of much of a single-player function, a remake could offer the chance for it to add a functioning campaign or a PvE setting.

The game could also use some graphical and gameplay improvements, given the 18 years of technological developments since its first release. A chance to see those memorable settings in 2022 quality would be incredible.

Sunset Overdrive

After its 2014 release, Sunset Overdrive fell off the map, but the game deserves another shot at glory. After all, its bright atmosphere, unique gameplay, and fast pace made it a standout game from its generation, even if it hasn't gotten its deserved sequel.

Unfortunately, Sony and Insomniac Games have a lot on their plates with games like Marvel's Spider-Man that are considered much greater commercial successes, so it's unlikely that fans will see Sunset Overdrive have any real form of a successful remake.

Grand Theft Auto IV

While a Grand Theft Auto IV remake was in the works, it has recently been put on hold while Rockstar puts all its efforts into creating the next iteration of the franchise. Still, having the chance to replay the 2008 classic would be extraordinary, especially if it meant a graphics boost.

Part of the anxiety fans have toward Grand Theft Auto VI is that there hasn't been GTA content in nearly a decade. Giving fans the chance to replay the best game in the series would help ease their impatience and give Rockstar a little extra time to develop the sequel.

Saint's Row IV

After evolving from a Grand Theft Auto clone into a series of its own, Saint's Row decided to go wild. Introducing a simulation world with superpowers and alien enemies, Saint's Row IV gave fans the chance to do whatever they wanted in a world without true consequences.

The game was fun, and it would be great to have a port or graphics update that could give fans the chance to return to the game. After all, who doesn't want to shoot aliens with ice powers while dressed like a flying toilet at superspeed?
