I want the original game with just updated graphics and ui:
Caesar III
Sid Meyer's Alpha Centure
MOO 1 & 2
Fallout 1 & 2
Sadly this will never happen because what developer doesn't want to play with the code and have their own spin on a modern take.

- onli 9y agoThis does not seem like a graphics and UI update, just like a recreation of the original with FOSS software.
- degenerate 9y agoBlizzard recently released Starcraft: Remastered on the 20th anniversary of Starcraft (https://starcraft.com https://starcraft.com). Because much of the game balance relies on weird/buggy unit behavior, it was critical to keep the game code intact, so the developers only focused on a graphical, UI, and netcode refresh. It worked, and was successful, but it's been months since release and there are still huge bugs and general problems with everything they did touch.
- plopz 9y agoThere was some discussion here about the effort it took to emulate a lot of the bugs in order to keep the game the same. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16305769 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16305769
- VikingCoder 9y agoIt's almost like we should take the old assets, take the new assets, run the exact old engine with the old assets, and then ON TOP OF THAT, let a Machine Learning system figure out how to, in real time, make the graphics look better. Hey, Károly Zsolnai-Fehér (Two-Minute Papers), can you find someone to implement this?!? kthxbai!
