I wish there were more projects around like spring.
My list of what should be remade is:
-Closecombat 2 (All the later ones were cr*p)
-System Shock 2 (Bioshock just isn't as scary)
-The original Homeworld (The second & Cataclysm was a piece of streamlined sh*t. They did release the source for this, but no one has done anything with it yet.)
-Super Mario 64 (No water packs or 'galaxies'. Just the original with different and more challenging levels. The DS version is nice, but it has the same levels. Probably wouldn't play right on the PC though. CO-OP SUPPORT!)
-The unmentionable game: tfarCratS (I do have fond memories of LAN games with it, and it could have more strategy if they remade it. It just didn't have any tactics beyond focus on killing 1 unit at a time. I'm surprised Blizzard hasn't revamped it yet.)
-Soldiers of Anarchy/The Fall of Gaia (Excellent tactics in both games, though the second played more like KOTOR. The first could be redone with a more efficient graphics engine and better pathfinding)
-Fallout
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Any of your favorites that were forgotten or ruined?
Other stuff you wish had an open source remake.

It is similar to his Civilisation games, but with added complexity like a unit buildder and distinct social engineering choices.
Sadly, the AI is about as challenging a mentally disabled 5 year old to a game of chess. Additionally the economy model is too focused on the use of the super effizient supply crawler, which the AI never builds, of course.

Interstate '76 with good netplay would rule.
Also, stuff that has an opensource remake:

needs some files from http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=3407 but do not remember which.

The lady of pain was a pain indeed. I skipped the text, then she turned hostile and I had to kill her... no wait, that was a ghost, was it?
Anyway I'd like to see a remake which isn't as straight forward in terms of character developement.
Oh yeah, openttd is nice as well, especially with addon packs. Candyland for the win!

Starlancer - This game needs moar levels. Although I could just poke Zuby, he's still got his copy of the mission editor from when he was at Warthog.
Freelancer - Needs more universe, better physics and less sucky "I fly into crap" pilot controls....
as for tfarCratS - They are making a World Of.... that's disturbing to think about really. A greZ MMO character?

They call it Privateer, Elite, X and a whole lot of other names. There's actually an opensource remake of Privateer.BlackLiger wrote:Freelancer - Needs more universe, better physics and less sucky "I fly into crap" pilot controls....
The ESRB has recently given it a rating for the Wii Virtual Console. In other words, expect it there soon.neddiedrow wrote:This doesn't need a remake. It simply needs a rerelease.Sheekel wrote:Zombies Ate My Neighbors!
