In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

X3: Terran Conflict.

Yes, we got X3FL in 2021 AND X4, but X4 is a very different game and X3FL is just a heavily scripted X3AP (more or less).

It's a more-than-me years old game with a lot of mods that keep it enjoyable to day – as "enjoyable" as it can be, that janky piece o' junk – but I feel about it the same way I feel about Halo 2: imagine what it could have been, if the devs had the resources they could have today. ~~(if you say "X4" I'm going to fucking flip)~~

Oh shit. I didn't even know about X3FL.

Gonna have to reinstall X3 now.

I got X4 because hella X3 fans said it was better than X3; but those people are fucking crazy. X4 sucks major by comparison.

When I first played FL I thought it came out with all the others *^*

I don't outright dislike X4, but IMO it feels too... streamlined, in a way. You've got less wares, less ships, less sectors, no jumpdrive (yes I see the reasoning, no I still want the jumpdrive), the Xenon lost their aesthetic just to look like Mass Effect reapers, and fuckers stole my magnificently redundant ship classes. Can't have ship in Detroit.
