I can think of many older games in dire need of facelifts, but the thing is they don't need a facelift into photo-realistic territory. Just enough to bring the vision out from developers reaching just a little further than their old tech could support. I'm thinking of a lot of early 3D games. Many of the older sprite based games still hold up great.
The AAA gaming industry has gone off the rails trying to wow us with graphics and the novelty has long worn off.
I would argue they don't even need to be updated. They were fun already in their time. I wish people would just come up with totally new ideas. I don't need the same characters in every game I play. Same with movies now too Everything is a remake or a sequel.
I love to play indie games though.
