‘make a more modern version of it’ would be Birthright 2019 that would potentially borrow
-melee mechanics from KCD
-diplomacy/town management of Bannerlord/FO4:Rise of the Commonwealth
-asset richness/physics of RDR2
-your team/squad mechanics (AI pre-sets) of DA:I or D:OS2
-battlefield mechanics of TW:ToB (or maybe Bannerlord)
No I mean compatible for modern systems with additional fixes.
that’s not making a more modern version of it
Oh yes that’s it. What you mean is a successor or remake.
one thing i find underwhelming about most games is that you can role play but really there’s only one origin. in RDR2, Gothic (1), D:OS2, Skyrim, FO4, KCD, etc. you’re the escapee. DA:O had its flaws but enabled some variation on the origin story. that’s what i liked/appreciated about Birthright. and, what i’ll like/appreciate about Bannerlord when and if it’s released
sensu stricto, no.
one could remake it with assets that render better on HDTV or better (not unlike the mod that rataj showed for Gothic). or one could create a successor with the same mechanics. those would be a fail. the mechanics, physics, AI, etc have to be modernized or it wouldn’t be worth it.
now, if there were a (more) modernized successor or remake, i’d buy it in a sec. would easily be willing to pay over $100 for such a thing
This is wrong. Gothic 2 use the same mechanics, AI, physics and engine like Gothic 1 and it’s one of the best successors ever made. A good game does not need to be modernized. In contrary. Most games become bad because of modernizations.
Yeah, i loved King’s Quest (1983), Wizardry (1981), Ultima III: Exodus (1983), and Birthright (1996) on PC/PCjr; played them way too much when they came out. But now I’m not looking to travel down memory lane. A couple months ago, wasn’t even willing to buy Warband at a greatly discounted price. So, long story short. I meant what I said: not just looking for a successor or a remake but looking for a more modernized version of Birthright as it could have hundreds if not thousands of hours of quality playtime by modern standards. if it means that the sublime original design from decades ago gets corrupted, so be it.
Warband has better horse combat and Bannerlord seems to nail that part even better.
Bannerlord looks like it’ll be a whole lot of fun. One thing I wonder about is mounted units vs shields/pikemen. In TW:ToB, the horses are said to rear up if they approach a wall of locked shields (pikes?). hope Bannerlord implements something like that. the preview I saw didn’t seem to have that
when WH implements warhorses, I hope they build that in too
I was just looking at ToB yesterday, cause its on sale but Im not sure if it is better than what I have - TWR2. I am looking for some new experience rather than just the same game set up in different environment.
I’ve writtena blog post about my top 6. Now, I’d definitely include Sekiro up in the bunch too! Check it out if you want some gratifying solo entertainment! <3
Outward seems like a game for rpg fans. To me it seems a bit childish but I haven’t tried it myself to be fair.
Best single player pc games are fortnite, pubg, grand theft auto 5, bioshock infinite 2013 etc, it totally depends on which genre you like.
Best single player? Then proceeds to name multiplayer games.
Seeing how emotional this topic is and the comments generated I will put my two cents worth in…… For me the best single player games have been (not in any particular order) Witcher 3, KCD, the Fallout series, Mutant Year Zero and Atom RPG. All of these games have been both entertaining and challenging. Bottom line, they are fun games.
Totally agree with your picks, though I would also add Sekiro and Metro series to the list, for the full-scale well-rounded entertainment value. 
From last week i am looking for best single player pc games but still fail to find a working link for this. But thank God i find it here thanks Anasako for sharing this amazing and working link with us.
They haven’t done anything modernized for 80% of their archives! For example, they selling SmarSteamEmulator from steam undergorund to ensure a offline function. They often doesnt adding widescreen support (no matter if they would use a hook or not, it would be cool if they were so skilled to ensure that) and they arent changing the direct link libraries! So in the end people still playing with the copy protection in background!
Im with Chessqueen, Witcher 3 is shit. Although I really liked Witcher 2. The story was ok(in my opinion) but the presentation of said story sucked and it felt like it dragged on and on with inconsistent pacing. I hope it rebounds with 4 but like FO4(in comparison to previous titles in the series) it probably won’t. Mainstream would be ok if it didnt mean they dumbed down the games both story wise and with gameplay mechanics.
