FPS Games That Need a Remake
kube00 writes "With the release and successful sales of Goldeneye 007 on the Wii, this opens the doors for other 90s FPS game remakes. Games like Jedi Knight, Red Rampage and Tribes could all use remakes and would look great with next-generation graphics. Nothing would be more satisfying than a remake of Jedi Knight that lets gamers slice Jar Jar to bits in multiplayer."

Well on it's way.

Tribes 1 with the Shifter V.1 mod was much better than Tribes 2. I always said Tribes 2 *should* have been the Shifter mod with new graphics, bam, game done.
Tribes 2's real claim to fame is "most botched game sequel ever."

Jedi Outcast was a sequel, not a remake.
FYI two of the issues that you've listed are part of the original. Goldeneye 64 didn't have bots either (They were added in Perfect Dark) as well it had horrible framerate issues when there were explosions in multiplayer.
A sane person who bought Tribes 2 would not also buy Tribes: Vengeance. Therefore, I've never played it.

If you run Linux, You can get the original shareware including the game files at my website. I also have a nice Debian package for dark-war but haven't figured out how to get a reseller agreement with 3drealms. Note my nick name.

Dragon's Lair Trilogy just came out on Wii a couple months back. I haven't played it, but heard good things about the port.
Deus Ex
It's not a remake, but the nameless mod is basically deus ex with the bugs fixed, compatible with the high-def graphics pack, some cool gameplay elements added, and a new plot (which seems silly when described, but having actually played the game, I'd say it's easily on a par with the original - maybe even better, as TNM has multiple plot branches all the way through compared to the original's single branch at the very end)
I mod down anyone who says "I will be modded down for this", regardless of the rest of their comment
