What do we consider to be the best “remasters” of games out there? I’d say command and conquer is a prime example, and age of empires 2.
I also think halo 2 was a good one.
The Steam version of Dwarf Fortress
Trails in the Sky was recently remade. Old one was Ragnarok online isometric style with rendered cg sprites, the new one is full 3D third person environments.
All in all, it’s a VERY faithful remake, especially considering the original was known for pointlessly extra details.
But it could be that doesn’t count as a “remaster”, since it’s a different game.
Yes to me a remaster is just that. The original game with a lot of spit and polish.
FF7 trilogy is a remake. My kingdom for a remaster.
The remastered cutscenes in Halo 2 are so unbelievably good. I read somewhere that the studio has no interest in doing any more Halo cutscenes (burnout I think?) and it makes me a very sad panda....
Blur Studios. I believe they did the Dawn of War ones too? Amongst other things
