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.

Agreed. Thief 1 was awesome. When I got to the second level, I noped out of it pretty quickly. Not a fan of the zombie genre and not all games need that sort of spooky atmosphere.

I love zombie games. I just felt like that shit had no place in those games. It was like some executive thought "Oh zombies are in right now put those in the game!", and the devs had to put them in. I'm not sure if that's how it really went down but that was how it felt at the time when I was trying to understand how they could fuck up so bad.
