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.

SPORE and Black and White 2!! We need to bring back God games

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

How do you play MMORPGs offline?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think they meant single player games that require internet connection, like The Sims

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yes but they said its going to be a MMORPG and then closed off with "aNd YoU wIlL nOt Be AbLe To PlAy It OfFlInE" like duh it's a MMORPG

I enjoyed Spore, but really disappointed that despite having bought Dark Spore, I never played it before servers shutdown. Was so damned stupid it required them for single player.

Unfortunately you didn't miss much ๐Ÿ˜ญ

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Really? I heard it was pretty fun, but was it just a shallow experience or what? Was the gameplay at least good?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Wow, I never knew that existed despite playing a decent amount of Spore when it released. What a cool idea, but I guess likely horrible execution.

Loved B&W1, hated 2. Dunno, 2 feels very handholdy.
