Can't wait to play the remake of Half Life/Black Mesa Source.

Valve in particular has done quite well with a certain remake and this got me thinking. What would be involved and would it be a sound move to do a completely accurate remake of UT99 using Unreal Engine 3? Would this be a good idea and how many other games could this type of thing be applied to.
I'm pretty sure a remake of UT99 with new assets, materials, meshes, in general an updated look would sell really well. Theres DOOM3, and the point is that there are really great ideas implemented in old games that could be reinvisioned or simply converted to newer technology. TES Morrowind, System Shock, and Unreal. Imagine if the original Unreal was attempted with what id Software did with DOOM 3. Any takers on that? Quake III Arena to id Tech 5.
Black Mesa Source got this idea rattling around in my head and I am curious how well you guys think this kind of thing would work, yes,no if so what games? Obviously fresh ideas are best but maybe a remake would be a shorter dev cycle since you know exactly what the end product already is.
