8 Most Wanted Video Game Remakes (That Would RUIN The Original)
8. Deus Ex
Let's kick things off with one of the most beloved video games to ever grace this glorious green Earth - dystopian immersive sim Deus Ex.
Its legacy simply cannot be understated - from its cyberpunk visuals to its ambitious narrative and highly customisable gameplay, Deus Ex represents the zenith of where cutting-edge, boundary-pushing PC gaming was at the turn of the millennium.
Freedom and atmosphere leaks from every single one of the game's pores, and while a large number of fans consider a Deus Ex remake their dream game, it should absolutely, positively stay in the year 2000.
There's just no way that a remake would capture the same spark - there's a specialness to the game's combination of ingredients, even including its flat graphics and janky gameplay elements, which could never be replicated in a new take.
Simply, a remake would surely strip much of Deus Ex's uniqueness away, and so why not let it persist as the unabashedly quirky masterpiece that it unassailably is?
One small silver lining of 2016's Mankind Divided flopping is that it makes the prospect of a Deus Ex remake slim at best.
