Meta Uncharted 1-3 but now grappling hook
Anyone else want a remaster/remake of the first three games (and maybe Golden Abyss?) with the only change being you have the grappling hook from UC4?
Imagine how fun and dynamic the tank or train fights could be with the ability to swing around the level!

While I absolutely would love a remaster/remake of the OG 3, I feel like the addition to a grapple hook might be too big a change. I'm all for updating combat mechanics (throwback grenades, better melee, stealth indicators, gunplay, etc.) and the climbing animations, but I feel like adding the grapple hook may require that a lot of the iconic traversal segments, combat encounters, and action set pieces be redesigned to include this new mechanic, taking away some of the specific charm they had.
This is similar to how in the last of us part 1 remake, they brought a lot of the combat mechanics in from the sequel, but didn't translate the prone crawling or some of the more fluid movement systems, because it would require a redesign of a lot of the areas of the game.
Not to mention the dialogue that would need to be changed/added to accommodate this new mechanic. I wouldn't want them to re-record any of those iconic performances, so the new voice lines might be jarring next to the old ones.
