We've seen some fantastic remasters on Xbox One over the past few years, but there are still plenty of original Xbox games we've love to get a visual overhaul. And so, we're passing it over to the Pure Xbox community - in an ideal world, which one of the following games would get a remaster?
Let's take a look at what we're working with:
James Bond 007: Nightfire (2002)
Nightfire was released back in November 2002 for the original Xbox, and quickly proved popular due to its varied and enjoyable single-player campaign, as well as its memorable multiplayer. Remember how great the snowy Skyrail map was for Capture the Flag? Good times!
The Simpsons: Hit & Run (2003)
Yes, there was a time when they actually made Xbox Simpsons games! There were a whole bunch of them in the 2000s, and The Simpsons: Hit & Run has proved arguably the most popular Simpsons game of all time, with fans still clamouring for a remaster to this day.
TimeSplitters 2 (2002)
It's been fifteen long years since TimeSplitters last appeared on Xbox, and 18 years since the release of TimeSplitters 2. Its single-player and local multiplayer were a blast back in the early 2000s, so we're really hopeful TimeSplitters 4 will eventually see the light of day.
Let us know which of these games you'd remaster in the poll, and explain why in the comments below.

Nightfire gives me the most nostalgia, but TimeSplitters 2 was the best game of the bunch for me.
Never played the Bond and Simpson games and wouldn't play a remaster either, so my vote goes to the wonderful Timesplitters.
Time splitters 2 would be incredible with modern effects
All of them, of course! But Timesplitters 2 was soooo cool! I played it on PS2 at the time but I would like to buy&play it again on Xbox
TimeSplitters 2 - absolutely no contest.
This is fascinating! Everyone is saying TS2 so far in the comments, but Simpsons: Hit & Run is winning
@FraserG
I was just going to type that same thing! How is the Simpsons winning? Haha!
I voted for TimeSplitters 2. It was the best game out of the three & the other two would have severe licensing issues which would prevent a remaster from getting made.
I just hope Xbox team will resume releasing new OG&360 classics! Maybe after the Series X launch?
Let's just hope
TimeSplitters 2 is the obvious choice here - I played so many matches on the Ice Station map, it was great!
Timesplitters 2. Clearly the Timesplitters fans are more vocal than Simpsons fans judging by the poll compared to comments.
We need some Simpsons fans in here! Come on folks, don't be shy
I would love to play another 007 game, That would look amazing if they remastered it
Timesplitter's 2 - That's easy!!
Timesplitters 2, easy choice. Never played Nightfire, and never cared for Simpsons Hit & Run.
@FraserG Ok, you convinced me to post! Haha
I would love to see a remake of Hit & Run, loved that game!
@FraserG
As it should. 😏
Hit & Run for sure. What a game!
There's no wrong pick here though. All great games that I've spent a lot of time with over the years.
None of them look like the kind of games I would pick... but why not all of them!! The more the merrier!! ( ^_^)
ok, I guess if I had to pick one... maybe the Simpsons one?
Simpsons Hit and Run just captured the magic of the show. I still play that game every so often just. Other then the Simpsons Arcade game it is the best Simpsons game made. It's so rare that you get a license product that's good and not a cheap cash grab.
TimeSplitters 2, hands down. But there are still lots of other original Xbox (and Xbox 360) titles left off the Backwards-Compatibility program that I'd like to see as well, for that matter. Don't know whether the program is taking a hiatus until after the launch of Xbox Series X or if it has been shut down permanently. I hope it's the former; I used to check the list of new games every time it was updated.
Almost 200 votes and Simpsons is still in the lead! I think this one's over, folks
We'll do another one of these in the future and pick three more...
