In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? - eviltoast

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.

    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.
