I was talking to my SO about it recently and we both kinda agreed you’d probably have to update the core gameplay so it would be a little more interesting/engaging but overall B&W was fun. Hell, even Spore redone properly (aka not by fucking EA) I would love too. That one always makes me sad to think about, and we’ve not really had anything like it since.
I would enjoy a copy of Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance with some spiffed up lighting effects, maybe the mech pack mechs included in the base game, and higher resolution copies of the FMV segments. I have my original copy but I can’t get it to run on Linux. Wonder if there’s a way to wash a CD game through Steam Play. Lutris…doesn’t function as software? It’s one of those magnetic “performance enhancing” bracelets, it doesn’t do anything but it has convinced a LOT of people it does.
This may be stretching the premise a little bit but I would like to play the game they thought they were making when they made Ride To Hell: Retribution.
Not sure if it’s been done already, but Zelda LttP would be cool. I haven’t played Echoes of Wisdom though I like the art style and could see it working well.
I don’t think Nintendo is capable of doing anything to Link to the Past other than ruin it.
A lot of the Zelda games that got “remasters” mostly had their resolutions and brightnesses increased, to the point that the Wind Waker remake has problematic amounts of bloom. Makes me think someone important at Nintendo has cataracts. So if you want to “remaster” A Link to the Past, run it through an AI upscaler and turn a desk lamp on your screen.
The few that have gotten ground-up “remakes” like Link’s Awakening…I kind of liked the art style they chose, it fit the tone of the game pretty well, going with quartets for the music is a stroke of genius, WHY DOESN’T THE FUCKING D-PAD WORK? The original game was designed for use with a D-Pad and either 4- or 8- way motion. I get that modern gamers might instinctively reach for the analog stick, but bind movement controls to the D-pad too, especially if you’re not going to bind anything else to those controls. Nintendo never doesn’t fuck this up. They made an entire console based on a revolutionary new way to fuck up the controls.
So what you’d get out of a first-party re-release of aLttP is a blank white screen you control entirely with the gyros.
The game feels like it gradually got worse as the game progressed, but that was typical for JRPGs back then. Still had plenty of great moments, though!
I’ve been replaying it on a PS5 for the first time since launch (on PS4) and despite skipping a lot of dialogue I’m enjoying feeling so much more immersed in the gameplay & world.
I’m finding the Phantom Liberty DLC to be quite refreshing - fresh, fleshed-out story content and some additional variety in the sidequests. Despite all this I’m never feeling challenged by the combat (on hard difficulty) and am largely just enjoying the stealth/hacking.
