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.

Phantasy Star.

For an 4mb 8bit rpg, it had an amazing story and so much potential held back only by the tech of it's time.

No way, out of all of the lists like this that I see, I rarely expect my fave series to show up.

Which one would you most like to see? I'd love a gritty tragedy like 2, but with all of the poofy anime hair and primary colour outfits. Really contrast the shit out of it :)

I think you are onto something there. There is a ton to unpack in the story of two and could be expanded so well.

I'd like to see the series re done, to be honest. I mean, in just the first release there are four unique planets. Looking later into the series, and it developing multi generational story lines, I feel it would be an amazing ongoing project with massive games already available.

The online Phantasy Star Genesis is pretty good, I'll give it that. But the real want, it's in the 1-4 stories.

Totally, and the gacha/ modern anime aesthetic really looks tacky compared to the more pragmatic style of the 80s and 90s.
