In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? (self.games)

I know that remakes and remasters are contentious, but let's pretend whatever game in question you're thinking of is handled with the utmost care by your favourite devs and they absolutely nail it.

Mine would be Shadow of Memories (called Shadow of Destiny in North America). It's legitimately one of my favourite games of all time but it kinda flew under the radar and I haven't met many people who know of it let alone played it. Seeing it get modern graphics, maybe some expanded mechanics, would be soooo cool.

I’ve seen people play it on the Steam deck but it’s not easy to control.

If you get back into multiplayer then use cncnet. They have a balance patch.

Yeh I didn't imagine it was be that enjoyable but then I could have been wrong.

I was aware of cncnet but didn't realise they had made a balance patch. To be fair it has been a long time, maybe i should revisit, although online I'd get absolutely stomped these days I'm sure.

A lot of medium skill people still play, surprisingly. I’m not good at all and still have roughly a 70% win rate.

The patch most heavily nerfs France, Iraq, and most importantly, Yuri.

It also fixes a metric fuck ton of bugs. Someone even managed to patch the engine to fix the input delay on lower game speeds.

Oh really? I imagined it just to be the "elite" type players left.

Not my sweet France!! XD

I'm gonna have to check this out and see what's up with it at some point. Thanks for the info

Those people definitely exist, but for some reason they’re more well behaved than other communities. I think the lobby system helps a lot because the good players can self-select to avoid noob stomping.

If you do return, I highly recommend a mod called Mental Omega. It adds sub factions for yuri, a whole new faction, and has four new campaigns. At this point Mental Omega has more content than all of the 2.5d games combined.

I am aware of mental omega but have never actually got around to giving it a go to see what it is like, last I looked at it was quite a long time ago now too!
