This video is a rather long-winded commercial for the Sims franchise. If you are already familiar with the Sims series, then there is nothing to see here. At 28:00 - 30:00 in the video, they do talk about Sims 5 (or Rene), but they only show minor changes to how to place furniture and change colors.
Since I have The Sims 4 and like it, I'll stay tuned. However, I have to admit that my expectations are not high for Sims 5, given that the developer seems to be trying to pull more of the gameplay online.
The Lord of the Rings: Conquest should certainly be on this list and toward the top. Also, Battle for Middle Earth 2 is excellent and one of my favorite games ever.
@ript0r:I'm playing through Inquisitor right now and have enjoyed it so far. However, I've been a big Warhammer fan since Dawn of War, and Inquisitor might not be everybody's cup of tea if they are not a W40K fan. Still, good fun so far and much better than D3 and most other Diablo clones that I've played.
@tidus_ff: I've played all three, and D2 is the best in my opinion. However, I never played it online, and only played through once as the Paladin. Still, good memories.
@Atzenkiller: Unfortunately, I do think that they are going to release it at the $60 price point, arguing that you are getting the original game plus the LoD expansion. Anyhow, I'll be waiting until it's in the $20-$30, assuming that it's a well-done remaster.
Is this basically just a graphics facelift with some tweaked audio? I would be up for it, but certainly not for anything close to $60. Anyhow, it would be a shame if there is no additional content such as missions or new areas.
Steam is only worthwhile if you have the patience to wait for the sales and deep discounts. Otherwise, given their DRM and their "you're a subscriber not a product owner" business model, virtually nothing they sell is worth full price.
This is one case in which a sequel, prequel, reboot, remake, or whatever is not needed. The original Exorcist is a timeless classic. You can't redo a masterpiece. Please don't try.
@phoenix1289: I agree. That's the reasonable, responsible thing to do for all of the reasons that you mentioned. However, the corporate thing to do would be to start on Witcher 4. If the developer is feeling financial pressures and loses money on Cyberpunk, they will most definitely put it behind them quickly and jump to W4 to make up the loss. I've seen that move a thousand times. ...
