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.

RPGs are king, and 6 other things the PC Gamer Top 100 tells us about the state of PC gaming

The PC Gamer Top 100 selection process combines analytical rigor and editorial passion, utilizing votes from over 30 editors and contributors to create a curated list based on Quality, Importance, Hotness, and Playability. Despite challenges like the pandemic and the decline of E3, PC gaming has thrived in the 2020s, with notable titles such as Elden Ring emerging. Only three games from the '90s made the list, indicating a shift away from older titles. However, many influential developers from that era, like Valve and Capcom, still have multiple entries in the Top 100. The list shows a heavy siloing in PC gaming, with esports titles underrepresented compared to narrative-driven experiences. RPGs dominate the list, with the top three games being Baldur's Gate 3, Disco Elysium, and Elden Ring. The CRPG renaissance appears to be growing, with foundational titles suggesting a lasting impact on the genre. Game collections like Mass Effect Legendary Edition have also made the list, raising questions about inclusion criteria.
