I feel like I could have some fun with a remake of Descent 1 and 2.

cyberpunk007,

Overload exists. While not a remake, it is the spiritual successor with the original development team making it.

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 🙂

Worms

But they’d fuck it up again

Treczoks,

Second that! Worms was great fun when hanging out with friends.

This might be too many, but what I want to see remade, remastered, or given complete editions (although “complete editions” may not be relevant to the post topic; and some titles may not be considered niche but whatever) are Asura’s Wrath, Bloodborne, Bujingai, Bully, Dante’s Inferno, Dark Sector, Dead Rising 2 (and Off the Record), The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, the F.E.A.R. series, From Dust, God Hand, Grand Theft Auto IV, the first two Gungrave games, Just Cause, killer7, L.A. Noire, the Legend of Spyro trilogy, Like a Dragon Kenzan!, Mary Skelter 2, NieR: Automata, NieR: Replicant, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Ninja Gaiden 3, No More Heroes 2, Prototype, Red Steel 1 and 2, Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, Spec Ops: The Line, the original Splinter Cell (plus Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent, and Conviction), Stranglehold, Tail Concerto, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Watch Dogs 1 and 2, and the original World Ends with You.

Primarily, the goals would be to either restore cut content or integrate separate DLC into the main package, offer enhanced graphics, take advantage of the 16:9 aspect ratio if originally released during the time of 4:3 screens or on handhelds, or fix bugs or address technical limitations that affected their original console or PC releases, alongside numerous quality-of-life improvements like anti-cheat and DRM removal and extensive performance optimizations. Also, we’re still waiting for a PC release for Bloodborne.

I do agree with the Splinter Cell series yeah.

Although I’m confused, why did you include Nier Replicant and Automata? Automata has already a complete version, and Replicant already had a remaster/remake/director’s cut version 3 years ago.

@ButtonMcLemming@lemmy.world avatar

Because I’m concerned that both their current PC versions still remain buggy messes. I’d wait until the devs provide updates on those to address these issues.

lemonmelon,

I don’t remember any of my playthroughs of either title as a “buggy mess”. Could just be a difference in perception.

Elite 2: Frontier.

elite dangerous is very close but it doesn’t really capture the seamlessness you get from not having a landing mode or frame shifting. pioneer spaceship sim is a remake in the truest sense of the word, but a remaster would fix the ui issues the original had rather than just rolling with them.

Dangerous was originally supposed to be single player only, then they got so much money they promised to add the mp… And long after the ks finished they switched to online only. I was really pissed off. There’s always X I guess

lime,

no it wasn’t. i backed the kickstarter. it was always an online game, it just had “solo” and “private” modes. and they didn’t get “so much money”, they got like 120% of their target. they were up against the star citizen kickstarter and that got all the hype.

my main issue with ED is that they focused on building a modern Elite rather than a modern Elite 4. Building upon the ideas of Frontier: First Encounters would have made a very different game.

X is more like Freelancer meets Euro Truck Simulator, in my experience.

Moah,
@Moah@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I might be misremembering some details, but I kick-started the game too and remember feeling betrayed by Frontier when they announced the game would be online only.

lime,

i definitely remember being excited for the possibility to play single player but telling my friends that we could play together if it succeeded. not that the online experience differs significantly from the single player…

Sid Meier’s Pirates! There are so few actually good pirate games.

lemonmelon,

I’ve played through various iterations of that game so many times, and I agree that it needs another modernization!

I’m outing me as ancient:

  • M.U.L.E.
  • Load Runner
  • The Castles of Dr. Creep
  • Seven Cities of Gold
  • Paradroid
  • The Sentinel
  • Hanse / Kaiser / Fugger
SepulchravesLibrary, do gaming w Cyberpunk replay has been boring.

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.

Right now, I’d really like the Gex games. Underrated 2D platformer, and a pair of goofy early 3D collectathons!

Hopefully the remake of the trilogy is still in production. I’ve got it on my wishlist from Limited Run Games, lol

Shadow of Memories is such a good game. That’s all I had to say.

@Juice260@lemmy.world avatar

The initial play through was too boring for me. There’s probably still more tutorials and mechanics I haven’t got to yet but it got to be a slog with me feeling the same, too much story (that I just wasn’t feeling) and not enough action for it be fun.

M600,

I guess, the first play through was much better as it was during pandemic/lockdown and I had tons of free time.

My, now, wife was staying with her parents and I was in the condo alone.

But now I’m just too busy to listen to the story to play a little bit of a shooter.

Juice260,
@Juice260@lemmy.world avatar

I think having a wife actually is part of it for me. I’m one of those introverted guys and burn most of that social battery at my full time job. I haven’t been able to ‘feel’ relationship ties with in-game characters for years. Ive given it thought before and landed on the fact that those feelings are reserved for my wife and close friends. That along with my taste pivoting from first to third person games just made CyberPunk a bad purchase. I don’t blame the game though, CDPR seems to have done an amazing job and it looks great now.

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.

I’d love to see Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask get a full remade release, bundled together into one game ideally. Sure we got the 3ds remakes but I wanna see it back on home consoles, like tp and ww HD.

Glytch,

There is a GitHub project working on a recompilation of both of these for PC. They’ve got Majora’s Mask working and are working on OoT. Looks beautiful, runs buttery smooth, and has custom controls with a free camera.

That’s crazy, I had no idea. I’m definitely gonna have to check that out. Thanks for letting me know

It doesn’t need a remaster, but a PC port of Lost Odyssey would be awesome.
