I am also waiting so long for a Bioforge sequel but I would also play a remake of it. At that time it was such a nice game.
The reason why Deus Ex2 and even Bioshock changed so much is easy: high production costs and main stream marketing, it is simply because of the money. A game like Bioshock, a simple RPG shooter is probably more appealing to the majority of gamers.
I would also like to see a new Outcast or a remake, why not. This was a nice game.
And I agree that we need a new game like the old Unreal. It was a nice mixture of fantasy and sci-fi, peaceful worlds combined with action fights, this was much more interesting than the Marine-missions in U2. So it really should be like the first one, maybe just a remake.
By the way I enjoyed Tomb Raider Anniversary, a remake of the old one and it is really well made.

Saying that, I think remaking old games is even a worse idea than remaking old movies. I honestly fail to see a point in doing so, but I guess that's just me.. I think they are pretty successful with this approach. Tomb Raider got such a remake and it was great. A RTS game called "Die Siedler" (Settlers) got a remake. And maybe I missed some more. It probably has to do with nostalgia of the old gamers and with curiosity of the younger ones who don't know the original but heard of it. So you reach a lot of customers, old and new ones.

I mean I'm sure you could play all Doom levels and weapons using the Doom 3 engine, etc. Sure I would. One reason is simple nostalgia. I played Doom when it first came out and I would love to see a professional homage to the original game. It would be very cool, imo, to even have the levels the same (same layout) and even the "hidden" areas in the same place, etc, but update the graphics, use actual 3D models instead of sprites for the enemies, etc. Imagine the original Doom made with the latest Doom or Unreal engine. Nostalgia freaks would go nuts for this sort of thing . This would be like creating Doom for what it was meant to be ... how they would have created it back then if they had the technology of today.

Frank,
I STILL play the original Unreal from time to time. In some ways, the graphics are still awesome. That first scene when you get off the ship and see the sky, the canyon and the waterfall ... it was great! Imagine what this game could look like in the latest Unreal engine! Yes. I absolutely agree.
