Please remaster!!

[lbonia]

If any game deserves a remaster, it's this one. It's perfect as is, BUT, it was never actually finished as written out. Supposedly, there were to be merchants and an open world aspect to it that wasn't completed on time for release.

Is a great game
But if you remember correctly,
it took about 10 years after release for hardware that wouldn't stutter while running the game, janky game engine.

It came out a lot better technically than Bloodlines though, that's for sure

+1 i hope they bring this remaster also on current gen consoles

You are more likely to win a lottery 3 times in a row than to expect a remaster of this game.

All that is needed is full linux support and a sequel 😋

Again, there are less than 0% chances of getting any sequel or remaster, especially from the Ubisoft themselves.
As for linux, I think someone already tried running the game on linux, not sure how it went, but check this forum.

How can you even know what the chances are? I'd say these production companies reserve the right to rehash any game they own, and, as there are fewer original ideas coming out today, I'd say there's way more than a zero percent chance it could get remade.

We first need to understand who made this game. It was made by Arkane studios. And who published it? Ubisoft. Where is Arkane now? Agonizingly making worse games under the Bethesda Softworks. What do Ubisoft make now? Making some games that die within a week and Assassin's Creed conveyor belt. As far as I know they don't care about M&M universe (neither do I, really), but from what I know they ended it on this game.
Now, let's talk about Dark Messiah. Awesome game, arguably one of the greatest in terms of combat. Did it sell well? No, not really. It wasn't as bad as Arx Fatalis (the first Arkane's game), but Ubi probably don't know about it's existence (or they just don't care much). The game is also made on the source engine, which is Valve's engine and they do charge for it, if the game is being sold for money. Now, why would Ubi care about all of this? It's too much work for such an unpopular game.
Actually, it's really good that we don't have a remaster or a remake of this game, since it would probably be a disaster. Something on par with Bioshock remaster (in case you don't know, it got plenty of crashes on modern systems, bugged AI and many more issues, that were not introduced in the original game). And since DM was made by different people, I doubt anyone else could recreate this game to it's full potential.
Right now there is a nice team of people who patch this game. Check their mod launcher on ModDB. In the future there will be more bug fixes and easier modding, so it's pretty awesome.
As for simular games, people usually suggest different (and often random) games here, but I actually suggest you Fallen Aces. Great game, a lot of potential, awesome so far.

Crusher of dreams, destroyer of fantasies. And yeah, there is a way to play this on linux but tricky tricks are needed, at least in my case. I know that some distros had it working pretty much oob. Im just too lazy ☺️

Welcome to steam forums, they call me the buzzkiller, since I kill all the buzz with my elegant use of English!
Anyway, since I mentioned that restoration project, maybe you can leave a comment on the pinned thread on these forums. Or contact David yourself, he might be interested in helping you run the game on linux.

By living in the real world. And having common sense.

The game wasn't even a big financial success back in the days. Nobody would touch such a game with a ten foot pole these days.

Not even Dishonored gets a sequel.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Dreams and fantasy.

Get real.
