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.

Ultima Online comes to mind, which is strange because it wasn't something I played much of. I know it still exists, and there's Shroud of the Avatar as well but I'd specifically like something that still has an isometric view and doesn't constrain by character class but otherwise has more modern adaptations.

Project Gorgon isn't Isometric but there are no classes. Any character can level up in any skill by using it. It's still early access and the graphics are not great, but the mechanics and lore are pretty good.

I looked it up. I'm intrigued. A minimal handholding, no rails MMO created by two people? I'll give it a go!

It has free demo which lets you level up any skills to a cap of I think 15. You can't trade or pick up items from the ground, but otherwise you have the full game available to you.

Yeah, I played a little bit earlier today. I'd like to say that the dated looking graphics and poor ui aren't things I care about, but apparently I do a bit. Still, I'll give it a little more time. I do like the premise.

Yeah, I had similar thoughts when I started: "Oof, this looks dated." Gameplay is solid once you get used to the UI, and how can you not love a game where you can use Psychology as a combat skill with abilities named "Tell me about your mother" and "You were adopted"?
