Port Royale 2 update or remaster?

[BLODKORPEN]

Hey
Considering you guys butchered the franchise with PR 3 and 4. Any chance you can make PR2 optimised for modern operating systems? I'd even pay for it as a DLC. Just something...for this poor franchise.

Sadly too few people care about this game this days for anyone to care about making a remaster. Considering how it was originally made by now you basically have to start building it all over from scratch.

If you look at how Calypso are making games it is basically a visual replica of civilization franchise. Not the same vibe port royal 2 have. I don't think they can recreate that same old style with modern tools they are using. I wonder even if calypso have the source code for 2nd one at this point.

In general 2.5D games are harder to sell and produce. You know if it was all great and all Ascaron wouldn't go bankrupt.

Overall the game as it is now is not in that bad state. There are some minor updates and some tricks made by few people to run it in widescreen.

I would love to be able to conquer towns for my own but there seem to be 0 modding communities for this out there.

I wish i was wrong on this but i can't see anything being done to this in foreseeable future.

The Spanish company FX Interactive is developing an HD version of the game Imperium III. FX is currently planning to develop the HD version of the game Patrician III. Perhaps, in the future, they will develop an HD version of Port Royale 2.

I really agree. I played hundreds of hours of Port Royal 2 and also the original Port Royal. Didn't like the changes made with PR3 and PR4... especially the naval battles... they absolutely stink in 3 and 4. I would love to see Port Royal and Port Royal 2 get some modern love as long as they don't put in the stupid naval battles from PR3 and PR4.

i would put another few hundred hours in a PR 2 remaster. Gosh.
