Gaming in the 2000s is a fond memory for a lot of enthusiasts. The 2000s was a time when gameplay and graphical innovations were considered to be groundbreaking for the industry, and some of the best games of all time were from the 2000s.\u00a0Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater<\/a>, Grand Theft Auto<\/a>, Halo<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>and so many more\u2014heck, even the wrestling genre, a genre struggling to get by<\/a> these days, was at its peak during the 2000s.<\/p>\n

This era holds a lot of amazing titles that would eventually be forgotten because of today’s more saturated and varied market. Also, modern-day graphics put to shame anything from the 2000s that were considered “realistic.” Remaking games from the 2000s with today’s graphics and gameplay would create unique wonders that can compete with today’s standards\u2014take\u00a0Mafia<\/a>,<\/em> for example. With that said, here are 10 games from the 2000s that deserve a remake.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Vagrant Story<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Vagrant Story\u00a0<\/em>is a JRPG game developed in 2001. Game Director Yasumi Matsuno, who also worked on the\u00a0Final Fantasy<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>series,\u00a0sought to innovate with an RPG game in 2000 and came out with\u00a0Vagrant Story.\u00a0<\/em>He analogized\u00a0Final Fantasy\u00a0<\/em>to a Hollywood blockbuster movie and\u00a0Vagrant Story\u00a0<\/em>to an indie film, which was definitely a fair comparison.<\/p>\n

The game had amazing graphics for its time, along with a beautiful story full of\u00a0majestic beasts to slay. Remaking the game with today’s graphics and combat systems would give it an exhilarating and dynamic experience that could rival the modern-day\u00a0Final Fantasy\u00a0<\/em>games.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Freedom Force<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Freedom Force\u00a0<\/em>is a superhero RPG game that lets players create and customize their own hero <\/a>and give them different abilities as they please. Developed in 2002, the game\u00a0has the potential to stand out in today’s industry where RPG games are either high-fantasy or futuristic\u2014the recent\u00a0Marvel game notwithstanding.<\/p>\n

A superhero RPG is a promising concept that would sit well with gamers and superhero enthusiasts alike, given that\u00a0Marvel\u00a0has\u00a0successfully made everyone and their mom a fan of superheroes. Modern-day standards make\u00a0Freedom Force\u00a0<\/em>look like a bland high-school animation, but, remade with today’s graphics and gameplay,\u00a0Freedom Force\u00a0<\/em>would be a massive success.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Jet Set Radio<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Published in 2000, Jet Set Radio<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>centers around hip-hop music, skating, and graffiti. Players skate around the city<\/a>, performing flips and tricks to the beat of the music. If\u00a0Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Guitar Hero<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>had a baby, it would be\u00a0this. Custom art can also be tagged on various walls and areas for limitless self-expression.<\/p>\n

The game also has a wicked art style reminiscent of the Avante-Garde stylings of\u00a0The Gorillaz.\u00a0<\/em>A remake of\u00a0Jet Set Radio\u00a0<\/em>would be a welcome addition to today’s gaming industry with its groovy soundtrack and sandbox skate areas. The combination of the two\u00a0gives players a\u00a0funky street vibe, immersing\u00a0them into true skate culture.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Conker’s Bad Fur Day<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Conker’s Bad Fur Day\u00a0<\/em>isn’t the kid-friendly\u00a0Mario-<\/em>like platformer it seems to be<\/a>. Though featuring bright, adorable animals, the game is intended for mature audiences with its extremely suggestive themes. Mario has Bowser, Conker has sentient fecal matter known as The Great Mighty Poo\u2014see what we mean?<\/p>\n

This game would definitely thrive in 2020, a year in which irreverence is more in-style than ever. With today’s graphics, the game would definitely be more disturbing. Those levels would look less like chocolate syrup and more like what they intend to be. A remade\u00a0Conker’s Bad Fur Day\u00a0<\/em>may even put\u00a0Crash Bandicoot<\/em><\/a>\u00a0to shame.\u00a0<\/em>And, no, we’re not counting the disappointment that was the Xbox 360 remake.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Battle Realms<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Battle Realms\u00a0<\/em>is a high-fantasy RTS published in 2001. It features four different clans, each with their own lore, unique units, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Unlike most RTS games, the harvest\/gathering unit in\u00a0Battle Realms,\u00a0<\/em>the peasant, is trained to become battle units rather than having battle units spawn at the cost of resources. With a small population limit, players are encouraged to outthink their opponent rather than brute-forcing them with huge armies.<\/p>\n

Each unit in\u00a0Battle Realms\u00a0<\/em>is unique with their own battle gear, special abilities that can turn the tides of battle.\u00a0The game also has story-driven campaigns good for hours of adventure. This 2000s game has been updated and added to the Steam store in 2019. With only three of four clans having a dedicated story, along with expressionless character models,\u00a0Battle Realms\u00a0<\/em>really needs a remake.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Sacrifice<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sacrifice\u00a0<\/em>is an RTS<\/a> game published in 2000. The game focuses more on strategic combat than resource gathering. There are only two resources in the game, and one of them is souls. Souls can be secured by killing enemy units, making battles more streamlined with harvesting. This system allows players to focus more on war tactics and strategies than worrying about resource shortage.<\/p>\n

Players can choose from five gods to side with, each of them granting the player different spells, abilities, and minion types. The combat-focused gameplay of\u00a0Sacrifice <\/em>will be a welcome addition to have in today’s RTS market.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Perfect Dark<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Perfect Dark\u00a0<\/em>is an FPS game released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000<\/a>. Humans and aliens are at war with each other in the year 2024\u2014hey, it could still happen\u2014and the two biggest\u00a0institutes on earth have each formed an alliance with two warring alien races, creating a galactic conflict for supremacy. Players control protagonist Joanna Dark, deep in the middle of the conflict. With earth’s best interest at heart, Joanna does everything she can to stop the world from falling into darkness.<\/p>\n

Perfect Dark\u00a0<\/em>lets players play through the story via co-op, or competitively, the latter being a mode wherein an opposing player stops the player-controlled Joanna from accomplishing her objective.\u00a0With today’s graphics making aliens and humanoids look more bizarre and gruesome,\u00a0Perfect Dark\u00a0<\/em>could use the upgrade.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Unreal Tournament<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Halo\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Unreal Tournament<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>were neck-and-neck back in the 2000s. Though\u00a0Halo\u00a0<\/em>games are still being developed today, the last\u00a0Unreal Tournament\u00a0<\/em>game was developed in 2007 under the name Unreal Tournament 3.<\/em><\/p>\n

The game manages to bring fast-paced action across wide-open maps through varied weaponized vehicles and tons of destructive weapons. Weapons range from an armor-piercing sniper rifle to a tower-demolishing plasma cannon. The variety across the battlefield, partnered with the high-adrenaline indoor fights, is what makes every match of\u00a0Unreal Tournament\u00a0<\/em>fresh and compelling. Epic Games currently has the remake of\u00a0Unreal Tournament\u00a0<\/em>on hold, but, once it’s done, it’s something that the game very much needs.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Team Fortress<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Team Fortress\u00a0<\/em>wasn’t forgotten by the community, it was forgotten by the developers.\u00a0Team Fortress Classic\u00a0<\/em>was released by Valve in 1999 as their first class-based team shooter. It was a promising concept that would later revolutionize class-based shooters given the game’s large distinction between the varied classes. In 2009,\u00a0Team Fortress 2\u00a0<\/em>was released with an overhauled art style and gameplay.<\/p>\n

It stayed true to the classic’s nine different classes: Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Heavy, Engineer, Demoman, Sniper, Medic, and Spy. The game hasn’t had a major update in three years. Right now, there’s a community mod that has remade the game’s multiplayer system, along with many various class attributes and weapons. The mod is very popular with players, and Valve should consider taking notes.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>TimeSplitters<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

TimeSplitters\u00a0<\/em>is an FPS franchise released in the 2000s developed by former\u00a0employees of the historic 1997\u00a0GoldenEye<\/em>\u00a0<\/a>007<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>game. Players are taken to different time periods, each represented by different levels across the game, to retrieve and secure the time crystals, the items needed by the monstrous Timesplitters to bring the world to darkness.\u00a0TimeSplitters\u00a0<\/em>was released in 2000,\u00a0TimeSplitters 2\u00a0<\/em>released in 2002, and\u00a0TimeSplitters: Future Perfect\u00a0<\/em>in 2005.<\/p>\n

This time-traveling FPS had a promising plot and linear level design. It would be great to see a remake of this time-traveling game with today’s stylistics since modern games’ graphics, visuals, sound design, etc. have brought players closer to different historic time periods more than ever. A\u00a0TimeSplitters’<\/em>\u00a0remake would be a game that plunges the player into the early period of\u00a0Far Cry Primal<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>past all the\u00a0Assassin’s Creed <\/em><\/a>timelines, through\u00a0Mafia’s\u00a0<\/em>recreation of The Great Depression,\u00a0Battlefield 5<\/a>‘s\u00a0<\/em>World War 2, then\u00a0GTA’s\u00a0<\/em>present day, into\u00a0Destiny<\/a>‘s\u00a0<\/em>far future.<\/p>\n
