I got a steam deck on the way and I'm so stoked to use it for Suikoden. I hope they remaster number three!
Suikoden 3 needs far, far more than just a remaster.
It needs a full blown remake, both of the story, and the game, to get rid of that trinity sight mechanic. cause the constant shifting perspectives absolutely kept me out of the game, cause every time I start to get invested boom rip me out of it and make me control someone else for a long period. I understand what they were trying to do, but it was one of the most fundamentally bad game design choices i've ever seen.
Suikoden 4 has a similar problem. They would need to remake that, too.. and create a ton of new story and side content.. because S4 is like a 7 hour game, that only takes 40 hours to play because of the absolutely ludicrously insane encounter rate.. which is very blatantly used to pad game length time.
Suikoden 5, Hell.. I dont even need a remaster. Just wrap the PS2 version in an emulator and release it on PC and I'll be happy as can be.
The Steam Deck is actually wonderful for retro games. EmuDeck makes setting up emulators a breeze, and the roms can easily be ~~found online~~ legitimately ripped from your own copies of the game and loaded onto a MicroSD card.
