Chances this game will ever get a remake or HD version?

Firstly this might be a topic that might do better on a forum like reddit since it has more traffic but I'll just post it here for now...

To me DS2 IMO is one of the best RPG's ever. DS1 to a lesser extent is great too. How awesome would it be for these to be remade? So many people love both these games yet it becomes increasingly harder and harder to play them as systems become more advanced... ironic isn't it? We get better computers yet we can't run old games and programs that require a fraction of the capabilities our old machines needed lol

What could we as a community do to make this known to developers and the public in general that we want these games reborn and how could it happen? My brother works for a semi decent sized studio and have had some minor hits. I asked him if his company would be interested but he said they dont' really have time as they are busy working on their current titles. He's an animator so he didn't really have any insight on how to go about this.

I know stuff like kickstarter is big nowadays but how would one do this? Like if a kickstarter donation got a hefty amount of funds could that be offered to a company that would want to take up the offer? What got me thinking about this is basically DS1 and the DS2 forums are 90% questions on how to get these games to work and or how to get the multiplayer to work. There's almost no topics on the games themself because most people can't get them working.

It would be so great if both these games came together in like a package deal both remastered with the DLC and multiplayer for current PC's so that players of old and players of new who never even played them could play them. I'm more than sure it would be a big hit too if this would happen...

Although I agree with you that they were onto something with the Dungeon Siege series, the chances of any sort of remake are about 0%. Square Enix owns the rights now, and the creator of Gas Powered Games now makes pottery. Honestly I think both DS1 and 2 have their flaws anyways compared to the many hack and slash RPG's that have been made since. Sorry to dissapoint you.

I agree with you, the DS series was a similar but different step in a good direction when it came out. Lots of people played Diablo 1 and 2, but this was slightly different and I liked it for that reason. You control more than one character, and it felt more fun in multiplayer (which sadly is lacking in this Steam version since there isn't anyone hosting anymore.) Here is to hoping!

Diablo 1 and 2 sucks! DS rooles!

Gas Power Games was closed in 2018, so think no... maybe right owner if you write him...

I found out there is a "HD" mod now. Probably the closest we will get to a re-release :(

Agreed. I think the series was done with Dungeon Siege III.

What works with Dungeon Siege II is Nvidia's DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution). One has to enable it in the driver and allow for i.e. a 2.0x scale and edit the .ini file of Dungeon Siege II to change the resolution to 3840x2160 for running on a screen with 1920x1080 native resolution.
