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.

Yes! But not into a 3D engine. Loved some Arctic circle, everyone start in the corners and have a race for the derricks and airports!

Hearty agreement here. I fired up Red Alert 3, hated the art style (and the co-commanders playing the game for me!) and bailed on the whole affair. Meanwhile I recently played through Red Alert 2 again on my Steam Deck and absolutely adored it.

Red Alert 2 was the last good Command and Conquer game in my opinion, I know Generals had a big following but I couldn’t get into anything after RA2.

How did it play on the steam deck? I’ve been playing a bit of Tiberium Sun lately but RA2 will always be my favourite, it could use a bit more balancing in multiplayer though.

I thought Generals and C&C 3 looked good, but I hated Red Alert 3. They tried too hard to make it Star Craft 2.

Tiberian Sun / Firestorm as well

Yes. But they need to be very careful to keep that bleak and hopeless aesthetic.
