17 Classic Video Games That Must Be Remade

5. Parasite Eve

Parasite Eve
Square Enix

Original Release Date: March 29, 1998

One of the PlayStation's weirdest and most entrancing releases, Parasite Eve was a beguiling mix of survival horror, action and RPG genres, and though it never really rose above being a niche property, it was gorgeously cinematic and like nothing else on the PS1, or any other platform in fact, at the time of its release.

How Likely Is It?: Parasite Eve's low-key nature definitely works against it here, and Square Enix will probably deem it "too weird" for a lavish remake, especially when they've got Final Fantasy's past successes to milk until the end of time.

A reboot is more probable, really, but that's pretty optimistic too.
