The next console generation\u00a0is finally here with the Xbox Series X <\/a>and PS5 <\/a>having launched\u00a0in the fall\/winter season of 2020.\u00a0The launch of a new cycle of course means, though, that the current generation is almost over. The PS4, in particular, has enjoyed a strong lifespan; its combination of incredible exclusives, such as God of War<\/a><\/em>, Marvel’s Spider-Man<\/a><\/em>, and Bloodborne<\/a><\/em>, and strong marketing helped it sell very well over the last seven years.<\/p>\n

One of the system’s faults, though, is its lack of backward-compatibility. Sure, remasters (like The Last of Us Remastered<\/a> <\/em>and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection<\/a>)\u00a0<\/i>have helped bridge this gap, but there are still several games that have no reason not to be on the PS4 and now the PS5. Here’s 15 we hope to see before the console goes gently into that good night.<\/p>\n

Updated on March 22, 2021 by Juliet Childers:<\/strong> The PlaySation 3 definitely wasn’t as much of a literal game-changer as its preceding console<\/a>. But the improved hardware capabilities produced better fidelity for some of the pretty choice games that debuted on the system. Unfortunately, only Demon’s Souls<\/a> and Mass Effect<\/a> games have received remasters for console (released or announced). Other games like the original Red Dead Redemption<\/a> are simply hanging in PS3 limbo. With the dissolution of the PSP, PS Vita, and PS3 stores<\/a>, these remasters must be on the horizon….right?<\/em><\/p>\n

15 <\/span>Metal Gear Solid\u00a0Legacy Collection<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This one might be cheating a bit considering it’s actually\u00a0several<\/em> games rolled into one, but that doesn’t diminish the fact that there’s a severe\u00a0Metal Gear<\/a><\/em> drought on the PS4. The\u00a0Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection\u00a0<\/em>contains every mainline\u00a0game up to\u00a0Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Having these games in concert with\u00a0Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain<\/em><\/a> and, uh,\u00a0Metal Gear Survive<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>would be a great experience. Gamers would finally be able to chart the saga of Big Boss and Solid Snake from their respective beginnings all the way to its end all on one console in a crisp 1080p.<\/p>\n

14 <\/span>Portal 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Portal 2<\/a><\/em> is often rightly regarded as one of the best games of its generation. The mind-bending sequel to one of Valve’s biggest hits boasts a fun story, wonderful puzzles, and J.K. Simmons. So why hasn’t it been ported to PS4 by now?<\/p>\n

Online infrastructure has only improved since its release in 2011, which could breathe new life into its great co-op mode, and its single-player campaign still holds up after all these years. Obviously, they’ve got a lot on their mind with the PS5, but maybe it’s time for Sony to start thinking with portals.<\/p>\n

13 <\/span>Mass Effect Trilogy (REMASTERED)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Despite their best intentions, no: Mass Effect: Andromeda<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is not the substitute for having the\u00a0Mass Effect Collection<\/a><\/em> on PS4 Bioware probably hoped it was. The\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em> trilogy has such a hold on the gaming zeitgeist, and it’s a shame current PS4 owners don’t have the chance to play it on that console.<\/p>\n

A fresh port would give fans a reinvigoration of classic\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em> conversations: Who did you romance? Did you let that\u00a0entire<\/strong> species die? Which game in the series is the best? (Easy: it’s\u00a0Mass Effect 2.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Update: It finally happened! Bioware\u00a0officially announced the Mass Effect remaster release date shortly after Casey Hudson, the long-time creative mind behind the series, announced his departure. But no matter who’s at the helm, fans of the series can relive the epic trilogy all over again.<\/em><\/p>\n

12 <\/span>Demon’s Souls (REMASTERED)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ah, the game that broke a thousand controllers. FromSoftware’s\u00a0Demon’s Souls<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>kicked off the entire Soulsborne genre and led to gamers getting to play classic difficulty machines like\u00a0Dark Souls<\/a><\/em>,\u00a0Bloodborne<\/a><\/em>, and, most recently,\u00a0Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/a><\/em>. Shouldn’t fans be able to play the one that started it all on their current console?<\/p>\n

While other games on this list might not have any real chance of a console remaster,\u00a0Demon’s Souls<\/em> has been sparking rumors of a remaster for a while now. Maybe it’s possible that it shows up on the PS5! Just be prepared for anger, frustration, and confusion if it doesn’t happen. You know, like a Soulsborne game.<\/p>\n

Update: Another one on the books! As a foundation title for the PS5 launch, Demon’s Souls lured in fans who might have been floundering about whether or not to buy the pricey console. Many feel it’s worth it just for this game alone and they aren’t totally wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Grand Theft Auto IV<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Even though Grand Theft Auto V<\/em><\/a>, and, by extension,\u00a0Grand Theft Auto Online<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>continues to top sales charts just about every month, it would be such a pleasure to take a break from Los Santos and get back behind the wheel in Liberty City again.\u00a0GTA IV<\/em><\/a>‘s single-player takes just about as long as\u00a0GTA V<\/em>‘s, so players would definitely have something to sink their teeth into.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Every Console Game Above 95 On Metacritic (Because There Aren\u2019t Any 100)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

GTA IV\u00a0<\/em>also boasts some cool DLC like “The Ballad of Gay Tony”<\/a> that, when bundled in with the main game, would add even more content. This is a PlayStation remaster for folks who love long, engrossing single-player experiences with that signature flavor of Rockstar chaos.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>The Sly Collection<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This one is kind of a weird one, but still no less viable.\u00a0The Sly Collection<\/em> bundled together 3 classic\u00a0PS2 games and scaled them up for the PS3. Sucker Punch’s stealth-adventure games were synonymous with PlayStation iconography for a long time, and it would be fun to bring that sort of mascot-clout back to the modern-day.<\/p>\n

Sucker Punch has been hard at work on\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima<\/a><\/em>, so they probably won’t be making a\u00a0Sly\u00a0<\/em>game anytime soon. Rumors have been circulating<\/a> of a\u00a0Sly 5<\/em> in the works, though, so if that’s a reality we may see a remaster soon after!<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Ratchet & Clank Collection<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This one is in the same boat as\u00a0The Sly Collection<\/em>. The difference here? PS4 owners already have a taste of the Insomniac magic that is\u00a0Ratchet & Clank<\/em><\/a>!\u00a02016’s soft-reboot\/sorta remake\/movie tie-in game was a critical success and brought the wonderful\u00a0R&C<\/em> formula to modern audiences.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Best Video Game Reboots<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have past entries on a modern console? Working to grab a platinum trophy in\u00a0Up Your Arsenal<\/em>, Going Commando<\/em>, or the very first game\u00a0would be a great way to spend your time.\u00a0The\u00a0Ratchet & Clank<\/em> series is wild, wacky, and (most importantly) fun!<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>God of War\u00a0Saga<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There’s a reason there are so many\u00a0bundles on this list, and the\u00a0God of War<\/a>\u00a0Saga\u00a0<\/em>is the poster child for it. It takes 5\u00a0God of War<\/em> titles from 3 different systems and packages them together in one convenient package.<\/p>\n

And even if the older\u00a0God of War<\/em> games aren’t quite the same as the incredible 2018 PS4 title, they’re still bloody good brawlers in their own right. Porting this collection to\u00a0new consoles would\u00a0introduce the classic Kratos to fans of the new Kratos.\u00a0They could get the full picture of the story and finally figure out what a jump button feels like.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>inFamous Collection<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

inFamous: Second Son<\/a><\/em> launched after the release of the PS4 and brought the signature destruction and morality of the previous two\u00a0inFamous<\/em><\/a>\u00a0games to a new console generation. Many hoped that its prequels would eventually find their way to the system as well, but as of yet, no such luck.<\/p>\n

Which is a shame! Being able to chart Cole’s path over those early entries is a wonderful experience of super [heroics\/villany], and the games lend themselves to replayability. As with\u00a0Sly<\/em>, Sucker Punch is currently occupied, so it’s hard to say if we’ll see a new entry in the series any time soon. Hopefully, a remaster of this collection would bridge that gap.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Speaking of sequels we may never get, what’s been going on with\u00a0Splinter Cell<\/a><\/em>? Minus a special mission in\u00a0Ghost Recon: Wildlands<\/a><\/em>, the stealth-action series from Ubisoft has been dormant.\u00a0Blacklist<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>was a great entry in the series and came out a mere 3 months before the launch of the PS4. Not only is it wild that it wasn’t a cross-gen game, but the fact that nothing has been announced about a new entry is baffling.<\/p>\n

Weird timing and optics aside, Blacklist<\/em> is a great game in its own right. It has some wonderful adaptive gameplay and a solid story, and it would make a great remaster on the modern PlayStation consoles.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Red Dead Redemption<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Arthur Morgan’s story is both epic and heartbreaking, but John Marston’s story\u00a0technically<\/em> came first. The original game debuted on the PS3 in 2010 and has yet to see any kind of remaster or re-release despite being met with extremely rave reviews and acclaim. However, fan theories abound about any potential remasters.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Mistakes Everyone Makes On Their First Playthrough Of Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

After all, the world of Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em><\/a>\u00a0includes the areas where the first game takes place. If Rockstar has already created all of those assets, why not just recycle them for an RDR1<\/em> remaster? It’ll likely be half a decade before fans get any more news on the franchise, so we deserve a tiny bone at least.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>50 Cent: Blood on the Sand<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

So this one is a little bit of a troll pick, but hear us out here. 50 Cent, the rapper and entrepreneur, released a game called Bulletproof in 2009 to a lukewarm reception. However,\u00a050 Cent: Blood on the Sand<\/em> displayed great gunplay and featured just an absolutely mad plot. If developers THQ could modernize the story to make it a bit less a product of its time, think of the possibilities.<\/p>\n

It’s just one of those head-empty games that you pick up for a week once a year. Not everything has to be a sweeping narrative or have a Battle Pass full of skins to collect<\/a> or achievement to stress over. Sometimes you just want to shoot at helicopters over a diamond-encrusted human skull. The rapper also seems open to the idea of making another game<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Castlevania Series Games<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sadly, Castlevania<\/em><\/a> is yet another series that Konami has just decided not to do anything with. Thankfully, fans can indulge in the successful and addictive Netflix series<\/a> for a small fix. But seeing a remake of any of these PS3 titles would delight fans — even if some of them were just okay as far as games in the series go.<\/p>\n

While the\u00a0Lords of Shadow<\/em> games did release on Windows PCs, Castlevania: Harmony of Despair<\/em> remains locked behind generational hardware. The game didn’t receive totally glowing reviews, but it introduced a unique multiplayer aspect that would definitely be a hit on today’s market.\u00a0Developers could totally\u00a0that function and resurrect the game franchise for a new generation.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Heavenly Sword<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Before Ninja Theory created the incredibly visceral experience that is Senua’s Sacrifice: Hellblade<\/a><\/em>, there was Heavenly Sword<\/em>.<\/a>\u00a0Despite the obviously revealing outfit for the main character, the game featured many things popular in gaming today.\u00a0Gameplay featured\u00a0heavy hack and slash mechanics, so it would delight God of War<\/em> fans and fans of indie roguelikes like Hades<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The game also featured a kind of split character period where players controlled Kai. Her mechanics were vastly different from Nariko’s so it echoes (or perhaps portended) things like what happened in The Last of Us 2<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Dance Dance Revolution (DDR)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Dance Dance Revolution<\/a><\/em> franchise (better known as DDR) has not had a major release in the West for a very long time. This title, released for the PS3, featured music from classic DDR artists like RE-VENGE and Naoki. But it also featured artists that were overall more popular in the West like Lady Gaga, the B-52’s, and Sean Paul.<\/p>\n

A remaster for this could mean introducing the iconic rhythm franchise to an entirely new generation. Moreover, VR headsets are still quite expensive, so games like Beat Saber<\/em> are still out of reach for most. This could also prove a worthy competitor for fitness-oriented titles like Ring Fit<\/a><\/em> for the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n
