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.

Ultima 7 I guess. I never got into it but I keep hearing his great it was. Final Fantasy VI, because it was my first and therefore the best. Space Crusade because it was just that fun.

Here comes the Pain or No Mercy.

Alister McGee's Alice. Pretty much a horror version of Alice in Wonderland, and it's a platformer with trippy graphics. I thought it was pretty fun.

Heroes of might and magic 3, but I feel like it might not have the same appeal if it did happen. Happy to be proven wrong, of course 🙂

Wing Commander 1-4, space epics of my childhood.

Deus Ex, if only to make it less ugly. Keep all the working parts as close as possible - same ridiculous voice acting, same level design and AI, same 1990s conspiracy stew. Just modernize all the scenery, models, and animation. Okay sure fine and officiate all the balance tweaks and cut-content restoration in Shifter.

Basically, the original game was fine, warts and all, and it still kinda-sorta runs. But it's a vision of the 2050s from the era of The Matrix and yet the most dated part is the first Unreal engine. A lot of immersive-sim games were just fugly. Even if you had to embrace a sort of cartoony aesthetic to get away with the mechanical choices and deliberate camp, so be it. Give people a version that's at least closer to HL2 than HL1.

DXU24 is an excellent "source port" kind of fan mod, but it only pretties up existing content. You're still looking at environments comprised of several polygons.

Starsiege: Tribes, or Alien vs Predator (2).

Both had degrees of movement that I absolutely loved (Alien wall climbing in AvP).

I understand that I should probably check out Titanfall 2 for similar reasons.

Toxic crusaders! A sidescroller based on the toxic avenger movie.
