10 Unknown PS2 Games That Deserve A Remake

10. Obscure

Obscure by name, and obscure by sales, by the looks of it.

Alright, snark aside, Obscure isn't a bad game. It scored well enough to warrant a sequel, and even a slightly glossier remaster in 2016. But that just highlighted the janky bits of the original.

So, why have I added it here?

Well, a remaster is one thing, but why not remake it entirely? The premise is solid, especially now with horror games being a much more appreciated genre right now.

Obscure suffered initial in the wake of the similar(ish) Resident Evil Outbreak in 2004 - so why not try a clean slate now?

But, and big caveat here, don't muddy it with more additional co-op players. Keep it to two if you need to, but doubling that loses any semblance of scare when you've got more options to be distracted.

We saw that PT could give us terrifying, claustrophobic corridors. Why not recreate that in a high school setting? Keep it tense and creepy, that tight atmosphere a school can provide, and you're on to something.

Don't let it fade into Obscure-ity.
