So far, it seems that Microsoft (and Bethesda now) aren’t following the trend.
If I’m correct, Bethesda never made a remake and the last remakes from MS were a long time ago:
Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary (2011)
Halo 2 Anniversary (2014)
Gears of War Ultimate Edition (2015)
So do you think that they should follow the trend and do remakes of some of their games in the library (whether it’s in-house or outsourced) ? And if yes, what games would you like to see remade (1:1) or reimagined ?
Should MS and Bethesda spend resources on remakes or reimagining of some of their old games ?

P.S.: I’m not a native English speaker so maybe I’m confusing remaster / remake (in my eyes, a remaster refers to some kind of port like Quake 2021 while a remake means that graphics are remade from scratch, whether it’s a 1:1 game like Shadow of the Colossus / H2A or a reimagining like Resident Evil 2 Remake).
Absolutely if a studio wants to do one. Remakes are awesome when done right. Games like Morrowind and NV deserve to be modernized with the current tech we have today.
all of the fallouts except for Fallout 4 need a remake.
but I think Banjoo-Kazooie is the most urgent one on the list because a remake will mean the series alive again and after a good remake I am sure many studios will jump onto the opportunity of making a sequel. instead of what’s happening now of it getting rejected by every studio Xbox offers it to.
But only if it’s Jet Force Gemini and/or Banjo Kazooie to see if they could come back as a franchise. Reboot/remake both to current generation standards in visuals, gameplay/combat, add full voice acting and make them great.
There will be a new Fallout and Elder Scrolls so no for them. Halo/Gears same. Crimson Skies maybe but is there any demand for it? Lost Odyssey/Blue Dragon are basically dead and Mistwalker creates ideas as opposed to making games and neither did that well anyway plus I can’t see them getting a sequel. Banjo has multiple games so it makes sense and Jet Force Gemini could be Microsoft’s Ratchet which would be great in my opinion.
I feel those 360 Bethesda games def need to get a remake treatment. Also I feel remakes can always be outsourced and if a dev wants to tackle it on then I see no harm in providing resources to make it happen. Also it seems like remakes generate a lot of buzz and could be a good way to attract people to platform
No its a Waste of time and resources particularly the BGS RPG’s people vehemently want remade. Make new games because this is the gen for xbox to establish themselves as an IP powerhouse.
If you outsource to someone I don’t care but imo no 1st party studio should be remaking anything of any kind this gen.
Resident Evil 2 reimagined a top down game from the ps1 era into something completely different and it was a short turnover due to the scope of the game hence not a waste of resources. Wasting 5-6 years remaking a BGS RPG is a waste of time when their new games already have nearly a decade turnover.
Final Fantasy XV sold 9 million copies in 2019, 3 years after release. Final Fantasy VII Remake sold 5 million in 4 months while being an exclusive. Bigger scopes remakes can also be successful.
Why are you limiting remakes to Bethesda games? Xbox has dozens of franchises that can have a remake.
