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.

Minecraft, lol. Written in Rust instead of Java, extensible, open source.

Like what Minetest and Mineclone currently do. Dont know what languages they use.

Minetest is written in C++, and Mineclone is a minetest game. Minetest games and mods are written in Lua.

I don't see the need for new open source minecraft-like game if we already got minetest.

Why Rust in particular?

Writing is more like a higher leven language, while its not damn Java. Minecraft hogs so extremely many Resources, Optifine was necessary to make it run on my old Laptop

Because it borrows instead of stealing. Its memory management is more ethical.
