What Games need a Reboot/Remaster?

posted 113 days ago by FatalConceit 113 days ago by FatalConceit +45 / -0

I would love to see Chris Carters Balance of Power updated to a 2024 version. No change to mechanics but just a different starting scenario. I would also love a really big re-do of the Lords of Midnight Series - I still play the old rotoscope version. And I always loved Reach for the Stars on C64 but the PC upgrade version lost something in the conversion - so I'd like to go back to the C64 version and just upgrade the interface plus add Multiplayer Online. I'm looking forward to the Age of Mythology reboot (already have it setup for preinstall) - but I also know that in current year it may also be terrible. But the graphics certainly look enticing.

I like oldschool graphics. I like sprite art over 3d blendered slop. I enjoy clarity in my graphics over a mass of browns and greys.

I'd love a bug-free re-release of Ar Tonelico 1 and 2, but that's just it: A bug-free re-release. The originals were (mostly) bug-free, but the act of localizing them added bugs, some game-breaking. I would want a re-release, not a reboot, not a remaster.

I would also love if the DS-era Fire Emblem games got a re-release, just with the Treehouse and their activists masquerading as "localizers" removed from the equation. I'd also love a de-master of them, bringing them back to sprites and pixels from weird 3d blobs.
