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.

Point & click adventures of olden times. Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Islands 1 & 2 got remasters, hell, Monkey island got even a NEW game.

I'd insta-buy on Indiana Jones & Fate of Atlantis -remaster.

...But, tbh, still rather have a new game in same style.

Fate of Atlantis is a cannon story to me. I never saw the two new movies, so that's the end of the franchise for me, unless the new game is any good.

Atlantis would have made a pretty good movie too, imo.

I've only seen movies up to Crystal Skull, and.. I dunno, not up to par with the 3 first ones. No idea what has happened since.

unless the new game is any good.

so far I've only heard that it's closer to "immersive sims" with stealth gameplay than what machinegames generally does. While I do like me some sneaky-stealth games, they tend to devolve into quicksave/quickload very quickly. Who knows, but I'm waiting for some less edited letsplay footage and sales if it seems like I'd like it.

Solid choices! Just recently had my partner play through Curse of Monkey Island (the best one, fight me).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Curse is pretty great, imo. The higher resolution cartoon style doesn't feel as "vintage" as the first two games.

But, how do you want to fight, insult lemmy-commenting? You comment like a cow! /s
