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.

Uh. Are you kidding? The remaster released like 6 months back.

Well, that seems kinda rude. Why am I supposed to know this? I don't know every game that exists.

Here's a tip, on average, 10,000 ppl a day learn something that "everybody knows". https://xkcd.com/1053/

Was an actual question - it wasn't exactly universally hailed as a success, so I wasn't sure if we were pretending it didn't exist. I found it to be fine though. And last I poked around mod support seemed likely, but I got distracted by other releases so it's not as 'grabby' as MoM was. I think the increased fidelity came at the cost of speed. But maybe that's just because I can't rely on muscle memory to bang through turns now.

Oh, the word choice implied condescension. It's hard to read tone on the internet, so I try to be overly obvious about genuine questions. "In case you've not seen it, there's a remaster on steam." or something like that.
