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.

Knights of the Old Republic, Battle for Middle Earth

[-] Boforn@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago

I played Battle for Middle Earth for so long! Personally, I liked first one better but I don't think the game would hold up to any strategy games standards nowadays. Once you know a few tactics you are practically undefeated in both of the games.

Need for Speed Underground 1 and 2.

If EA would release them as just full faithful remasters, with no P2W or microtransactions I will break my word that I will never support that piece of shit company again and pay full retail on release day.

[-] TAG@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Any of Peter Molyneux games would make good remake targets, but you would want to remake the game he hyped, not the game he delivered. I would love to see a development team, with all the new game libraries and faster hardware try to deliver on some of his unfulfilled promises.

Can you imagine spore as a modern day title? It'd either be a "free" to play MMORPG full of micro-transactions or it'd have each stage be a different dlc (that of course you can get a season pass for!) and all but the most basic cosmetics be dlc

And let's not forget always online with no offline play

A game remade only because it's old will age again. A game remade because it missed its potential the first time is a big improvement.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

Morrowind. Rpg that doesn't hold your hand through quest, well written plot and sidequests and a superb fantastic setting that is not all medieval Europe. Ashland, siltstriders, giant mushroom mage tower that can only be accessed by super jump or flying. And thosefucking annoying cliff 'bird thing.

A friend and I were talking today that we’d spend full price for a Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War Soulstorm remaster/remake. It was a great game that still has a lot of potential both for gamers and for the company developing it. They could even call it something cool like the Imperium Edition or something!

I’ve also always said that they could approach it in a similar way to how Total War: Warhammer develops DLC for their factions. Quick question for WH:40K fans: if they offered a dlc for your specific Space Marine chapter or Ork Warband or DIRTY HERETIC, would you buy it? I know I would buy a Space Wolves chapter DLC that enabled their unique mechanics and units. It’s an untapped goldmine in my opinion and also caters to people who want to play the game with their own army units.

Sega Saturn had a title called Fighters Megamix that (in my opinion) was the first to bring franchise characters together for a battle royal.

Virtua Fighter, Fighting Vipers, Sonic, Daytona, Virtua Cop and more all rules it out in wrestling rings and it was amazing. Would love a remake.

The Ultima series, especially U4, 5, and 6. To this day they are some of the best stories told in gaming history, but their appeal is limited by the fact that they came out in the DOS era - remake them with Baldur's Gate 3 levels of production value and some QOL updates but otherwise don't change a thing and they would contend for the best RPGs of all time.

Deus Ex. It's beloved and influential. It's also ugly as hell and kinda jank. Stitch together all the levels that had loading screens. Leave combat awkward, make conversations fancier. Keep the deadpan protagonist as a flat player-insert avatar. Keep tracked music, but give the composer a pile of money and enough tools to allow conditional variations. Human Revolution proved the formula still worked, and Mankind Divided proved it's still impossible to do a good sequel to that formula.

Midwinter is one of the first true-3D open-world games, and it shows. You're trying to escape an island and maybe start a revolution on the way out. The title reflects the mildly post-apocalyptic setting, where nuclear winter has upended civilization, and this little snow-covered dictatorship is actually doing okay by some standards. The gameplay would have to borrow from Death Stranding's focus on traversing terrain. Albeit largely on skis. It's not a fuck-around simulator like Just Cause, or a shoot-em-up like Far Cry, and it's not really a survival game in the sense of keeping gauges filled. (You do get to hang-glide - but it's a great way to die suddenly.) It's more of a wargame played from ground level. And between that, and being from 1990, the interface is completely terrible.

I'd truly love a VR Sims game. It'd be so ridiculous to walk into somebody's dinner party and begin turning their kitchen upside down.

That, and they'd be spouting their nonsense sim language while I light a furniture bonfire. Want!!
