    Is anyone even asking for that?

    3d isometric RPGs don’t really need mind-blowing graphics.

    That’s pretty much the reason early games were 3d isometric RPGs…

      I don’t give a shit about having a remake but it’s not always about just mind blowing graphics. It can be about accessibility, quality of life changes, adjustments and new content.

      The diablo 2 remake is cool because it was getting more and more difficult to run the original on new hardware. They even added new rune words and sets I think, which is nice.

        Yeah really the biggest selling point of a remaster wouldn’t be graphics, but “it’s one click to run on your machine, no patches, no fixes, no widescreen bugs”.

        Mass Effect legendary was less of a remaster for me and more of a “you don’t need to do 4 hours of mods before each game anymore” buy.

        But you can’t name anything specific…

        Go argue with Todd if you got an idea, that might accomplish something.

      Modern isometrics with updated controls are really fucking good though. I’d rather games that are 20 years or older get remasters vs games that launched 5 years ago

        with updated controls

        They were point and click games…

        I’m pretty sure there’s been mods for controller support for a while now. But there’s nothing you can add to the game to significantly improve it, that wouldn’t significantly change it

        Unless you’re talking about whatever it is Square Enix is doing with FF7.

        I mean, I’d probably buy it if it was for fo2, but I’d be pretty grumpy about it and wouldn’t call it a remake.
