Which games do you want me to mod in the future? (Patreon)
Content
So, as I promised some time ago, now that the Mafia trilogy is done I'd love to hear your voice: where should we go next?
During the ~6 months since the Patreon started, I collected suggestions from many of you, and I have to say that they're all over the place :-) No clear winner has emerged, so let's do a poll!
Also, to complicate the matters a bit, I have two games still in the pipeline (I won't spoil the surprise, but if I do manage to convert them to VR they will be simply AWESOME). And, as you know, the "definitive edition" GTA trilogy just came out yesterday, which is attracting lots of people because of the commercial hype plus the nostalgia factor.
Even though I know that it will disappoint some of you, I won't include GTA: The Trilogy DE in the following list, and after much thought I've decided that I will not touch it with my mods. I have two main reasons: first, I really don't like how the games look and play after the pseudo-remake (totally subjective and debatable, I know, but still); second, and more important, modding them would mean entering direct commercial competition with Rockstar AND Facebook/Meta, since they already announced publicly that they're working on a native VR version of GTA: San Andreas.
So, modding the trilogy now would almost certainly bring upon us the Thor hammer of a cease and desist order from Rockstar and/or Facebook, and that would possibly kill the mods for GTA V and RDR2 too (when greedy lawyers get involved, they tend to come at you with nukes, not surgical scalpels). I'm totally not going down that suicidal road.
Here's the poll. Please note that some of these games are natively in first person and some are meant to be played in third person. For the 3rd person ones, I might try to convert them to 1st person since several people seem to prefer that, but as you saw with the Mafia series the process is not guaranteed to succeed, or to actually improve gameplay. I hope I'm not forgetting something major, and if the game you're hoping for isn't listed, please choose "Other" and make yourself heard in the comments!
