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.

No one lives forever. Though the originals are still very much playable, only the graphics are outdated.

Such great games! Unfortunately they're stuck in IP hell :(

those games are amazing. Monolith was a really good studio before Warner Bros gutted them. Problem with the NOLF games getting a reboot/remake is the rights are split between Fox, Vivendi, and Activision. It's a complete mess and I doubt it'll ever happen sadly

Sadly that's unlikely to ever get a remake as noone can agree who owns the rights to do so.
