Do you remember Binary Domain? It was a story-driven PlayStation 3 third-person shooter, from the same studio that makes the Yakuza games. Back when it released in 2012, Binary Domain didn't have much of an impact — but it's fondly remembered by those who actually played it, including ourselves.
It's safe to say that we'd be well up for a remaster, and apparently, Yakuza producer Daisuke Sato feels the same way. In an interview with French site GameBlog, Sato says: "Personally, I’d really like to [remaster Binary Domain] (laughs). If possible, I’d like to make a few changes that I didn’t quite get to back then and maybe redo some parts, too." It's worth noting that Sato is also credited as one of Binary Domain's directors.
Does this mean that it could actually happen? Maybe not, but at least Sato's happy to provide a quote. Who knows, maybe one day, we'll be blasting the mechanical limbs from sentient robots with Dan Marshall on PS5 in stunning 4K.
We can dream...

Be interesting to try this, I had no idea Yakuza creator (iirc) Toshihiro Nagoshi directed this till I looked up his gameography yesterday (as I've just beaten Yakuza 5)
Quality game and massively underappreciated.. I'd be in to this if given an update across the board..
I'd love for this to get a second chance to shine!
Had an absolute blast with it back in the day and modern destruction physics could really amp up the robocarnage!
Yess please do, I would be all in, day 1.. very under appreciated gem on ps3, just make sure to scrap that worthless pvp mode
Please come true...
To whomever it may concern, I'd really like a max payne 3 remaster/remake, at least a BC bone.
Please do it! But the list of SEGA games that I want remastered is LONG
@Arugula Would love a remake of AP as well, but that seems even less likely with Obsidian owned by Microsoft now. AP had a lot of potential but it was such a mess of a game. I still really enjoyed it despite its NUMEROUS flaws
Hey, yo, I would be interested in a Binary Domain remaster, at least as a gateway to a sequel. I really enjoyed BD. if it got remade they would need to improve the partner AI and commands. One thing I'm not sure is how dated the characterizations would feel. I know the game isn't thaaaat old, but I remember Big Bo being a bit cringe inducing even then.
I preferred the fluid gameplay and variety of Vanquish over Binary Domain. I didn't find this one to be really that interesting especially with enemy designs.
@Insightful @Kalvort
@Flaming_Kaiser made me chuckle! haha
N.i.c.e.i play this game on my ps3 cool game.but i want vanquish 2.word up son
Always wanted to play this one! I remember it having a pretty cool trailer, I think?
This game deserves everything from video essays explaining why it is a forgotten gem, a remaster and sequels to be honest. The story had me floored with all it's twist and turns, okay some of the voice acting was over the top, but overall a great experience, besides the tagged on multiplayer component. But first things first sega, get Yakuza kenzan, ishin and kurohyo localized!
I got this as a free gift on steam and its really good fun..a ps5 enhanced version would be cool..
Excellent game that utilised voice commands through a headset in a fun way
@ShogunRok They are monitoring our PSN conversations lol. We just talked about this.
I wouldn't pick it on PS4 over the serviceable access I already have on my laptop (especially since shooters evoke the least enthusiasm when it comes to guessing Vita RP controls), but I'm certainly in the market for a possible Switch version. What I've played of the game so far is pretty neat, and I'm thankful it doesn't force the voice controls (responses and commands work through buttons as well).
@Splat Yeah, crazy timing. It's a sign!
I own this on PS3 from some Sega bundle I bought forever ago - didn't know it was actually decent. Maybe I'll actually play it one of these days.
About time they remastered Skies of Arcadia Legends even if it's on Switch only I don't care I want to play that game again and I'll happily pay for it again
