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.

      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.

      Kotor was the best game I’ve ever played but I got stuck in a puzzle on the floor in front of a wall . I tried playing it years later again but the loading times were horrible on the xbox.

        I just played through it on mobile. It works well! Costs like 10 bucks.

        Edit: you will need a Bluetooth controller for your phone though. I would classify the on-screen controls are terrible.

        Shadow of Mordor took me two attempts to get into it, but I’m glad I went back for the second attempt because the game ended up surprising me with how excellent the storytelling and gameplay was.

        Shadow of War was pretty good as well, but the online stuff was starting to kill it for me and it was clearly designed with microtransactions in mind (even though I believe they removed them?). Still a fun game though, and didn’t feel like a waste of money especially on sale.

        A new entry in the series could be a lot of fun if they held true to what made Shadow of Mordor such a fun game, in my opinion.

      It’s a shame this game & it’s sequel have been unavailable for purchase for so damn long.

      Thank god for abandonware websites

      This was such a good game. I’m surprised that instead of making a new version, instead companies are making sequels of every other game

    TES: Morrowind, Fallout: New Vegas, RDR 1

    EDIT: Guys, OP is talking about proper remaster. I’d actually like a current gen remakes.

        Played OpenMW with a bunch of mods, including TES3MP multiplayer mod and played through the game with a couple of friends. Truly incredible experience!

        OpenMW is making a Free Software Morrowind engine and Skywind is remastering Morrowind on the Skyrim engine, but what I want is remastered Morrowind on a Free Software Skyrim engine.

      I can’t upvote FNV enough. I would LOVE a modern version, especially if they could incorporate some of the mods that add new areas and questlines.

      We kinda have a FNV remaster. But it requires 3-4 hours of setup minimum, a nexusmods premium account, and luck that nothing breaks…

    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.

        It’s been rumoured to be in development hell for quite a while now. And last week, Sony removed all traces of it from their YouTube and Twitter feeds, which a lot of people are taking to mean it’s been quietly cancelled.

      I think that was just too big of an ask for that studio. They’re really just a port studio, and some of the switch ports of theirs I’ve seen they phoned it in or were not provided enough budget.

      To make sure that they don’t do a disservice to what that series deserves I think having that canceled was for the best unless they can get a better studio/budget for it.

    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).

      I liked Twin Snakes but the voice changes and cutscene changes always made me feel like it was far from the remaster I really wanted.

        Yeah, they changed too much unnecessarily whilst keeping the rest of the game identical. The addition of first person shooting really broke it in some ways because the original game wasn’t designed that way. I think they’d need to redesign it from the ground up to make the more modern mechanics work properly. Something like RE2 Remake.

    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.
