If any game deserves a remaster then THIS is it...

[MegaDrive1987]

Eternal Darkness...one of the best games I've ever played and have completed it multiple times, I got it with my GameCube for Christmas 2002 and couldn't believe how good it was. It also needs a sequel but I doubt either will ever happen. Thoughts?

Well if you bring it back for PC, you can have new effects for it to make it seem like your copy of the game is possessed.

Yes, and I would like that with a side order of Dino Crisis remaster as well. Thank you!

Knowing that Silicon Knights is not around anymore and the game was made in close partnership with Nintendo, its safe to say that its not gonna happen. I mean never say never but Nintendo is much more strict with their family friendly image now than ever before so I highly doubt it. If you like survival horror and Eternal Darkness' 4th wall breaking stuff you can check out Dead of Darkness, its completely different in style but has some of those moments to mess with the player directly. Though it doesn't feel innovative anymore of course, more like an homage, but still worth trying I guess.

I just played "Shadow Hearts" because I remembered it from an old ps2 magazine from when I bought one without having a ps2 yet. I'm not really into horror genre, but I liked it and I was glad for the good ending, though non-canon. With quality-of-life new things like: changing party members more easily, giving exp to non-active members, and maybe something else, it would do a nice remaster! It had random encounters but the encounter rate is really good, sometimes you have to run a lot WHEN you want/need to find a battle.
Oh, and a mini-map too, because some dungeon is really a maze (I used a guide to make sure to complete everything).

I have a friend who is hammering my head with that gamecube game, and I am kind of tired of him lol.

I don't specially like that game, but nowadays they release remasters of everything so, who knows? stranger things have happened :)

I don't think Eternal Darkness will ever be rereleased. Perhaps it might pop up on switch 2 VC at some point, though I don't think they're gonna put any M rated games on there.

If it did, they should definitely make some new sanity effects for LCD screens to replace the analog display effects. One of them should be a large enough to notice dead pixel that persists for a room or two. They could also probably replicate what a physically broken LCD looks like. A fake malware popup for PC users would also be fun. All puncuated by a flash of white and the player character saying "This can't be happening!"

I 100% agree. It’s a game I’ve never had the chance to play, but that’s due to it being stuck on the cube and having sold not super well. It’s not rare, but it’s always been somewhat expensive, and that’s gotten worse with time. The idea of a game with a sanity meter who actually messes with the player and their system is really cool. While I think it’s probably coming to NSO (probably by 2030 if we’re lucky with Nintendo’s dripfeed :/ ), I think many of its effects won’t hit the same without being on a period accurate TV and GameCube system. In the event of a remaster, I would love to see the more fourth wall breaking effects implement modern flat screen specific things, like swapping resolutions and inputs.

This game has been on my backburner for too long, and I want to know more about it than just the effects. Perhaps I should play it soon?

Get on the Repo RIGHT NOW and emulate it!! Haha. It's a must play mate seriously.

Speaking of which, we need remasters of Blood Omen 1 and 2.

Nintendo has Mature rated games on the Online service for N64 and GameCube so they aren't completely against it.

I know there has been sequels and "re-imagining" on other consoles but a proper 2025 0r 26 remaster WITH A MAP of the original NES Blaster Master.

Daikatana Remaster by Nightdive so we can trash talk during deathmatch and also reminding us the good times with my buddy Superfly.

I've tried to play Eternal Darkness a few times but I've never been able to get into it. The sanity effects have always been a little bit overhyped.

I tried playing the BM Zero remake but by the time I got to area 3 I was over it. I missed the maps and music from the original. I was really bummed out they changed the area 3 theme song. Personally I'd be happy with a version of the original Blaster Master that adds a save system and gets rid of limited continues.

Nightdive studios has interest in remaking the game but since the brand now belongs 100% to Nintendo it would probably end exclusively on the Switch 2

 

[diet_orange]

Would love to see a modern remake or even a Streets Of Rage 4 continuation of Decap Attack

I think the BIG thing about Eternal Darkness was that you had to be there back when it came out, sure it look like crap but some of the mechanics (no spoilers) were unlike anything we had seen at the time

On that point the ps1 game needs some refreshing updates too . The game was awesome but very confusing to navigate and the framerate was not that great.
