ITT: /vst/ games with NO possibility of remastering
You don't need a better remaster than KeeperFX. The latest version even has easy global multiplayer.
Chat is this true?
>>2456990I always wondered why this didn't lift off? Is the formula for making a keeperlike actually harder to get right, than it appears? Seems like something that you could very loosely remake and still fit the appeal.
>>2456969Colonization.There was a 2008 remaster, and it triggered some of the woke vanguard. For example:https://web.archive.org/web/20080627220501/http://weblogs.variety.com/the_cut_scene/2008/06/civilization-iv.htmlThere was a pushback because the commissars were not yet entrenched in places of power.The idea of Take-Two Interactive or some other big company publishing a new Colonization game in current year would be unthinkable.
>>2456969master of magic + caster of magicThe botched unfinished and abandoned demaster killed any possibility of proper refresh
>>2456997I replayed Dungeon Keeper 1 recently. Dungeon Keeper 1 wasn't as good as my nostalgia made it out to be. It was a product of its time, back when games were simpler and cool concepts like "what if you was the dungeon master?" was fresh and exciting. The gameplay wasn't actually much good. As for Dungeon Keeper 2, I didn't like it as much as the first one, perhaps for the exact same reasons why I couldn't capture Dungeon Keeper 1's magic simply by replaying it. I think there's room for a dungeon management game though, it just can't be clone of Dungeon Keeper.

>>2456969>Abandonware>Incredibly niche even at the time >Likely very easy to break if an attempt is made>Impossible to get any of the original cast to assistFitting since it's another game Molyneux was involved with
>>2457167what the hell did those two guys ever do to you?
>>2456997The best keeper game is dwarf fortress.No one has been able to top it so the best they do is rehashes
Best 4x game ever madeNarrative and factions, has writing that is still unmatched even 27 years laterNo remake possible due to EA; no sequel possible because of EA/thread
>>2457798I cant wait to play GLSMAC in the retirement home.
>>2457310All of Lionhead’s games are impossible to remake. They’re from a very specific period in British culture made by a very specific demographic of white male boomer and Gen X brits. That’s why the new fable game coming out feels so soulless and alien to the original games.
>>2457831Not to mention Monyluex promises so much and then barely delivers anything close to what he promised.
>>2457798Beyond earth and alpha centauri could be studied in a university as a case of disparity, something was fundamentally amiss
>>2457165Kill yourself.
>>2456997A huge part of the appeal of these games is the charm/vibe/atmosphere whatever you want to call it as mechanically they aren't that complex. War for the Overworld is a better game that DK1 or 2 but I personally think it doesn't have the same charm
>>2457036>"Yeah we don't know how to recreate what they did in the original made decades ago"
>>2459046The BE factions were bland nation-states, the importance of which was tied to some minor faction bonuses that quickly became irrelevant given the three main paths (humanmaxxxing, planetmaxxxing, cyborgmaxxxing)
>>2456969Why remaster when KeeperFX is there?
>>2460599They stated in the press conference that it was a spiritual successor to AC. They basically said it's a remake in all but name. Then they changed their minds. It was unfinished when released, with no victory movies, and nothing that made AC great. The buildings weren't thematic; it was just sad. extremly so. It had a fungus map and a planet awakening ending wow, it was awful. And the missions/stories were shit. Then they tried to say, "Oh yeah, it's a spiritual successor, " just in time for the expansion. That added floating moving cities; probably the only decent thing, with the satellite buff mechanic. Also, Sid basically had to help fix the game along with a new game director. But it was too late. I have over 320 hours in this game. I really tried to like it, but it's not just bad its an insult to Brian and AC fans.If you want something similar, play Pandora First Contact. The planet AI is insane, but hey, it's more AC than Beyond Earth.

>>2457310Speaking of is Fata Deum actually bad or are the poor reviews just because it's not black and white?
>>2456969wasnt there some rap about this game

>>2460739>Why remaster when KeeperFX is there? And it added basically everything you'd want from a remaster. Unlock game speed from framerate? Check. Add a true Z-axis, so flying creatures can avoid certain low-level attacks? Check. Better zoom? Check. Improved controls? Check. Extra bug fixes? Check.
>>2463324nowadays half the good rides are under maintenance/closed and every corner contains a carnival stand selling chinesium stuffed animals. it all started going down hill with the IP lego sets.
>>2456969RA2What a shame
>>2456969i thought the asshole game producer or director did produce a freemium remake on android/iOS? it's shit. literally pay forever to win at anything. google/apple should ban him but they're evil asses too.
