What games do you think would be great if they'd get properly remastered and would be a hit if it was done? (lemmy.ml)

I believe this will mostly affects games which were lacking in technology.

I'd personally LOVE to see The Sims 1 or The Sims 2 re-released with performance and resolution upgrades, and, most importantly, made to be open world. Since they're older, I believe they could very easily render the entire map like The Sims 3, but with the charm of TS1 or TS2.

I cannot think of other games, since most games I see as adequate, whereas TS1 and TS2 were bound by system performance during their respective times.

Judging by the lack of mentions for

total annihilation

I worry people just don't know how awesome this game was. Ya tear your gaze away from StarCraft and realize you never need to look back.

For me, at least 50% of why TA was great was its soundtrack. Jeremy Soule hasn't topped that one, IMHO, even if the Elder Scrolls series came close.

If you have the TA music files I believe you can add them to the install directory or something and it uses those (I just Dev the server, not sure on the application itself sorry).
