I love suikoden and suikoden 2. I don't think they'd feel anywhere near the same if the graphics were changed.
Killer7, a very easy choice. That game's visual style will never fail to hold up for me.
Left 4 dead, in my opinion. It's fascinating as it's attempting to look realistic yet doesn't look very dated. I think it's because of how good the animations are, and most of the game is dark and gloomy.
Also SCP containment breach. Not graphically impressive but its atmosphere and immersion simply isn't the same without them. I feel no other SCP games captures the atmosphere of Containment Breach.
West of Loathing. Timeless.
F-Zero GX comes to mind
Crazy Taxi
Super Mario Brothers 2
The Elder Scrolls Oblivion
Gotta disagree on Oblivion, sadly. I tried playing it again a couple years ago and the graphics just do not hold up.
That and a new Wing Commander are at the top of my wishlist.
Sly Cooper
Rayman
Batman Arkham series
Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime
The original releases of the Yakuza games did some amazing things with in-game animation that have to be replicated on modern hardware.
Furi
It's not super high fidelity, but goddamn is it pretty!
FF12 also.
More importantly, basically everything good on SNES still looks good!
VVVVVV
Muramasa Rebirth/Demon Blade. Visually and musically spot on.
Also Gravity Rush - awesome soundtrack supporting a clear aesthetic vision.
Jumping Flash! for the PS1. Nothing else like it and I recently found out you can play it in a browser here: https://www.retrogames.cc/psx-games/jumping-flash.html
While heavily reworked through the years, I am continually amazed what they manage to do with World of Warcraft. Doesn't look much like it used to, but as it's all on the same engine, it's really impressive.
For me, MGS1. The tone of the game is really helped by its limited detail. It has the dark and serious mood throughout the game that just permeates this looming threat that is Metal Gear and the mysterious Foxhound unit. I think Twin Snakes doesn't look nearly as memorable or unique as MGS1 and I think a modern remake would lose a lot of the tone and atmosphere that the original had.
Oh and the artwork for MGS1 is just so incredibly good.
