Not something I'd be happy about one bit. Remaking Ishin is so hilariously pointless that I can't see why on earth they'd consider it. The game is fantastic as is, runs perfectly and looks great. I can't see what remaking its combat in the newer engine will bring, especially if they mess it up like they did when they tried to remake Kiwami 2 with 6's combat. That'd be one easy way to fuck it up...
Likewise, Kenzan being remade would probably suffer the same issues in terms of combat though granted I can see people whining about it if they straight up remastered the game... despite that being the vastly preferred choice for me - Kenzan just needs a few QoL changes here and there to update it - fix the side story situation (missing them is way too easy, locking you out of stuff), and fix premium adventure mode while they are at it so that it no longer resets 90% of your progress after you finish the game (moves, mini game progress etc. is all reset - all you keep is the list of heat moves you've performed, the level Kiryu is at, money, items and weapons you unlocked...)
But hopefully neither will be remade and they just focus on making new stuff instead which I'd be more than happy to buy several times over.
Well, I guess remakes are better then nothing if nothing serious gets butchered, like Kiwami 2...
Knowing what they did with Kiwami 2... I foresee characters getting replaced with famous faces just because they can, combat getting messed up, mini games getting cut, FMV cutscenes in Kenzan getting cut maybe, licensed music changed/removed (which would murder the best side story in the entire series). And maybe mess up the look and colour of Kenzan (its got a really striking colour palette that remakes could mess up, especially looking at Kiwami 2's piss filter).
