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.

    Oops, forgot to reply to you!

    With the custom input mapping I used (available on Steam) it played really well. Probably not as well as a keyboard and mouse but I was able to complete all the campaigns on hard without issue, if memory serves.

    Multiplayer has never been my thing with RTS games so I can’t comment on that.

      All good man, appreciate the reply. I’m tempted to give it a go now and see if I can set up my own hybrid control mapping using the touchscreen as a mouse and attach a keyboard to see what kind of experience that offers, I feel like it could either be decent or horrendous but worth a try xD

        I used the touch pad as a trackpad mouse which worked very well for me. I also had various hotkeys mapped to the other touchpad and the rear buttons as modifiers (control and shift, if memory serves). I think I submitted my config but as my deck is in for repairs I can’t check right now (it’ll have my username attached).
