    They remastered the 2004/2005 Pandemic ones and apparently did a fucking terrible job of it

      Did they really? I just looked it up and it looks exactly the same… It seems like it’s just a rerelease but like why? Weren’t there still people playing the original battlefront 2 with mods and shit?

        I could totally see why there would be a market for it with updated online functionality, a graphical refresh, and a balance pass. The games are still really fun, but their age does make it a little bit of a hassle to play them compared to more modern counterparts. They could also have added a few things like making galactic conquest mode playable online, and maybe some mod management, for example. I’d have been pretty tempted by that. Unfortunately what they did instead seems to have been steal some stuff from a modder and bugger all else

          Yeah I’d love that. I honestly still play the PS2 version from time to time just to play galactic conquest

        It’s not a remaster. It’s just a repackaging and rerelease. As per usual with Aspyr’s work they did the bare minimum, if you can even consider it that
