Early BioWare stuff. Specifically KOTOR (don't know what's going on with that remake, but doesn't seem to be going anywhere right now), KOTOR II (yes, I know it's Obsidian, but still), and Jade Empire. Probably Dragon Age: Origins as well.
Since they're already doing it, it's probably a useless mention, but Splinter Cell needed it, especially for PC.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and the Kyle Katarn Jedi games could probably do with a touch-up as well. But they're "not canon", so that's not happening.
Maybe also the original Deus Ex and/or Thief.
I expect System Shock 2 might get one in a few years, although it isn't as desperately needed as the original was.
Bioware just announced layoffs.
God forbid any exec there have literally any brains or sight above 3 months. I'm so goddamn frustrated with the shell corporation formally known as Bioware. Yes, your quarterly revenue is in the toilet, you invest money to make a killer game and make profit when you release. Games take time, stop fucking laying off people and trying to squeeze it for every dollar and just make a good goddamn game.
They have massive IPs like KOTOR, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age that literally everyone is chomping at the bit for. They could have staff working on all three with a new game coming out every two years with DLCs in between, but they're afraid to invest in it.
They could have the next RDR2 or Witcher - if they actually invested in it. They could be the name for RPGs again, but they're too afraid about not being able to afford their next BMW.
The EA effect
