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.

Master of Magic. Mid 90s spinoff of civilization, but with high fantasy magic and stuff. The spiritual success I've tried have all been garbage. It would be nice to have one with modern conveniences and modding capability.

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.
