Remake or remaster Stubbs the Zombie!

[It's the winds of change.]

We can try to convince a development team to get Aspyr (the publisher) to give the dev team (any dev good dev team) to have the rights to remake or remaster Stubbs the Zombie for PC and the Xbox (and other systems because no one deserves to miss out on any game at all)

There are too many factors with this title to make even the thought of a remake/remaster possible. If GOG or Epic can't get this, no one can...

The music is the first problem. Public domain aspects are fine, but the game contracted several "modern" artists for some of the tracks. Even though those tracks are covers of old tunes, those licenses are too expensive/complicated to renew, especially when... (see below)

The property is now fully under the ownership of Disney Interactive. Disney has NO interest in reviving old titles belonging to software companies it has absorbed, especially those that don't fit with its current "Star Wars or Marvel" themes. Good luck contacting them.

I would buy it! There are many games that get lost becuse of license stuff... "XIII" gets a remake too, because someone finally bought the license rights. I mean what are license rights worth if you don't use them?

Done! A remaster is coming to Xbox One/S in March and possibly PC soon after.

Actually not a remaster, just a re-release. However, there's hope!
Aspyr is once again publishing, and the soundtrack will return.

That is cool! Even though it's a re-release, it shows that this game has a more potential future! Plus, remake or re-release, I don't mind, it's still cool that it's making some kind of comeback!

I really hopy for it to be a simple re-release since that could mean they just bring this very AppID back. From a collectors view this will make a difference between $20 and $3000 right now

I hope it isn't a re-release as trying to get my retail copy to work on Windows 10 is a nightmare, it used to be you just renamed the stubbs.exe to codsp.exe and the compatibility assistant got the game working, but not any more. I can barely control Stubbs with either the keyboard or my Xbox controller so the game needs a little work.
