Would you guys like seeing a remake of Morrowind come out a year or two after Skyrim, featuring the same relative graphics and using the same combat, but with the skills and world of Morrowind? The idea came from the Pokemon remakes (which are good games), which really just pooped out the old game with a new sheen and pleased the fans and made bootloads of dosh.

For that matter, would you like to see any other TES games remade? I have only played Oblivion and Morrowind in depth (I keep meaning to play Daggerfall... maybe I will after I make this thread), and I would absolutely LOVE to see a remake of Morrowind.

Why? People will just piss and moan about how it does differ even if 90% of the base material is still intact. Never underestimate how petty people will be, particularly with ES players.

No. I want Bethesda to do something new.

Given how much vitriol tends to fly whenever Morrowind is brought into a discussion with another game, any difference is enough of a difference to invoke ire. People will complain that it's casual and a mindless hack-and-slash or that the bosmer don't have horns and completily black eyes or whatever other pathetic excuse they'll drum up to justify snubbing it.

Morrowind does not have problems with Windows Vista/7, the graphics can be modded to match or even http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/3811/birdvvardenfell.jpg those of Oblivion in quality, the game is still selling well on Steam and I'm still seeing copies in retail stores too sometimes. It see no reason for a remake.

For me, a remake of Morrowind would make as much sense as a remake of Oblivion. (wouldn`t make sense) The game is still young and mods are keeping it fresh.

Can't look back, keep going forward!
Remaking classics is very rarely a good idea. With video games its a little different - Sierra did it well many years ago. That being said I would prefer that Beth focus on new games. You'll know that they're stalling for ideas when they release Morrowind v2.0. Anyway, if they're going to revisit MW, then I would rather have new adventures there. There are graphic mods that will update the polys for you, and combat mods to make it more action styled. At one point some people were trying to TC Oblivion into Morrowind but I think that got shot down. Leave Morrowind alone for now.

Yes but with expansions

I love Morrowind just the way it is.

Nah, I wouldn't want them to waste their time. Morrowind is great just how it is, and with all of the modding that can be done, and that is being done, I don't even see why we would need this.

If anything they might make many changes that Morrowind fans (including myself) wouldn't like anyways.

If I want to play Morrowind I'll just reach over and put the game disc in :shrug:

No reason to remake MW:

There are enough mods out there that transform the venerable old game into something "almost new", and we've been there and seen it already. Either you'd have to return 200 years later, after the devastation, and give it a totally new look, which would almost all be as much of a depressing wasteland as the original Red Mountain area was, or else there'd be nothing new to see. It's not that the game was perfect, not by a long shot, but that a lot of what needed to be fixed has already been done quite competently by modders over the past 8 years. A few patches to the CS would be nice, though.

The Tamriel Rebuilt Project is gradually doing the entire mainland part of the province, and doing a very credible job of it from the looks of the first two sections (both "playable" Betas, the first with some excellent quests included). Placing the new game on the MW mainland would still be a case of "been there, done that".

I preferred a lot of Morrowind's gameplay to Oblivion's "easier" approach. To me, choices, consequences, and the ability to either "play it safe" or take risks (with the possibility of failure) are more important than Physics or NPC schedules. Granted, some things like combat took it too far into the "failure realm" even for my liking, but that was more a matter of "tweaking" than needing to be scrapped and replaced. My concern is that "MW Revisited" would just add a lot of the fundamental problems I had with OB, along with the extra goodies and details.

I'd rather see a remake of Cyrodiil, with some serious political infighting between the members of the council vying for control, various guilds backstabbing each other in quest for greater influence and power, and a "working" economy, with the game confined to a "small" portion of the province (at least the size of the TES IV map) that doesn't even attempt to represent the whole massive thing on a map the size of a postage stamp. That might at least "set the record straight" after the politically, economically, and spiritually empty, as well as "minimized" representation of the province we saw in the last game.

Nah, I'd love to see a world as alien and immersive as Morrowind - but not the actual game remade.

Why go back at this point? I forget exactly how many provinces there are in the Elder Scrolls world, but Bethesda has only done four of them to date. Personally, I don't include the first two since I started with Morrowind and the first two games are so old that they will not even run on a modern machine without special software and some tweaking. There is a lot of room to grow without going back. The only parts of the series I can see an actual need to remake are the first two, if for no other reason than to make them relevant on modern hardware and operating systems.

Morrowind plus graphics mods makes the game far better than Oblivion in many respects. If OpenMW ever gets completed, even better.

I think it would be interesting to see a remake, however I think it would have to be done appropriately, and with much respect to the original game. Though, I highly doubt there will ever be a remake of Morrowind outside of the modding community.

Edit:
Summerset Isles would be better to go to next anyway.

i just wanted to know...what does this have to do with skyrim besides doing it a year or two after? shouldn't this go in the morrowind section?

That is a lot of art to re-do
and ai scripting / de-bugging
and what sounds like a new/heavily revamped engine


I don't think it would just be a summer project
I would stick with the classic (mods don't carry over)
I don't think it would be worth it

No, a remake of arena or daggerfall could be nice, but leave morrowind as it is.

No point really it would just ruin a classic.

No, morrowind doen't need to remade. I would love a re-made user friendly daggerfell for my 360 though.

I dont doubt that it'd be awesome, but theres no real need for it.

I'd love it, but it'll be a waste of time, energy, money, and won't ever happen, nor will be taken seriously if it's released at full game value.

Morrowind is still a mighty fine game, no need for a remake...

The fact that the game is still playable, or the fact that there is a gazillion mods out there for Morrowind to improve itself many times over, or the fact that there is actually a project to move it to different engine, I don't think Morrowind need to be remade by Official hands.

Herp, no.

I remember how excited I was when Atlus ported Persona 1 to the PSP. A classic RPG, reimagined! I was sorely disappointed when I realized how dated the game had become - how archaic it's systems were. What seemed engrossing and deep in 1996 seemed convoluted and inelegant in 2009.

Of course, Morrowind is not Persona. Morrowind is not so dated that an HD remake would seem entirely archaic. But, still...a bit of the magic would be gone. The lesson is, not all games need remakes. Some of them should live on only in fond memories. Others, like Morrowind, are still perfectly playable in their fugly form.

...

But, yeah. If this happened, Bethesda would insert fast travel into the game and it would be completely abandoned by its fanbase.
