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.

Most games I can think of wouldn't actually be that great, because their mechanics haven't aged all that well, and they'd need to be remade rather than just remastered.

Case in point: the original Deus Ex, the Thief Games, the original Witcher. All games that were great and even groundbreaking at the time of release, but would need way more than a graphical overhaul to stand up today.

That being said, I will definitely pay for the remaster of 'The Pandora Directive', an absolute classic of the FMV adventure genre. And I'm keeping an eye on the Witcher remake.
