Remaking classic games has become a trend among game developers, and the PS3 library holds a treasure trove of titles ripe for modernization. Giving these games a fresh coat of paint not only introduces them to a new generation of gamers but also allows veteran players to relive the magic. While some games receive simple remasters, enhancing graphics and performance, there are certain first-party PS3 games that truly deserve a full remake, reimagined from the ground up to leverage the capabilities of new hardware.

Capcom has excelled in remaking classics like Resident Evil, inspiring Sony to consider revamping its own first-party gems such as Motorstorm and ModNation Racers. Titles like LittleBigPlanet, Puppeteer, and Infamous are prime candidates for a makeover, promising enhanced visuals and gameplay for an immersive gaming experience.
