These 7 games need a remaster, and they need it now

Fallout: New Vegas, released in 2010 by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks, is a unique RPG praised for its player agency, writing, and world-building, making it a candidate for a remaster to fix technical bugs and improve visuals. Dragon Age: Origins, released in 2009 by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts, is regarded as the best in its series, but a remaster seems unlikely due to a lack of familiar staff. Black & White, a 2001 game by Lionhead Studios and published by Electronic Arts, is not available on major platforms, and a remaster could enhance its AI and gameplay. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, released in 2004 by Troika Games and published by Activision, is a classic RPG with bugs and unfinished elements that could benefit from a remaster to fix glitches and restore content. No One Lives Forever, a 2000 game by Monolith Productions and published by Fox Interactive, is unavailable due to rights disputes, but a remaster could modernize its visuals and controls. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, released in 2004 by Obsidian Entertainment and published by LucasArts, is an unfinished narrative that could be improved with a remaster to restore missing content. Freedom Force, a 2002 game by Irrational Games and published by Electronic Arts, could benefit from a remaster to improve compatibility and support user-generated content.

Deltarune’s new chapters defy every rule of RPG logic

In Chapter 4 of Deltarune, players control Kris, who encounters a locked door, a step stool, and a green book. The intended solution involves using the step stool to reach the book and activate a switch, but players cannot interact with the stool. Instead, Ralsei acts as a step stool, allowing Suzie to hit the switch. The game features turn-based combat combined with bullet hell mechanics, encouraging creative, pacifist solutions. Emotional responses from enemies vary based on player actions. Notable moments include a turtle shouting at enemies and a battle that transforms into a roulette-style game. Humor subverts RPG conventions, such as a water cooler becoming an enemy and a game show hosted by a character with a CRT TV head. Players can design their hero, but the narrator humorously reminds them that they cannot fully project themselves onto Kris. The game consistently surprises players with its inventive mechanics and narrative twists.

Deltarune: Everything we know about Toby Fox’s next adventure

Deltarune is a game created by Toby Fox, which has been in development for over a decade and is not a prequel or sequel to Undertale, but rather a "parallel story."

The story follows Kris, a human teenager, and their classmate Susie as they navigate the Dark World alongside Ralsei, a dark prince. The game is presented in chapters, with the first two available on Steam as a demo, and players can tackle the chapters in any order, though a specific sequence is recommended for the best experience.

Modders use reverse engineering to bring Mario Party 4 to PC, more GameCube games to follow

The gaming community has seen a rise in reverse-engineering source code from retro console games, particularly from the Nintendo 64 era and earlier, leading to native PC ports. The decompilation of Mario Party 4 is nearly complete, making it the first fully decompiled GameCube title, which will facilitate unofficial PC ports. A port of Mario Party 4 with online multiplayer is in development. Other GameCube titles like Super Smash Bros. Melee and Metroid Prime are also being targeted for decompilation. An unofficial PC port of the Xbox 360 game Sonic Unleashed has been completed. Previous titles such as Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time have received PC ports with enhanced features. Modders are experimenting with advanced technologies like ray tracing for classic games. A modding tool has improved the recompilation process, but technical challenges remain. Nintendo has not taken legal action against these decompilation efforts, and modders use clean room tactics to avoid legal issues, requiring ownership of the original game for PC ports.
