Both expansions are amazing, with new enemies, weapons, and even new plot elements. Some simple hi-res textures and a basic shader system would do a lot for little cost.Įxpansions as DLC – Anyone who has played Quake II without playing the two expansions truly isn’t a fan. We’ll all be just fine if we don’t get per-pixel lighting, bump and specular maps, that sort of stuff. Spit n’ polish, that’s all it needs–more than that and the port gets expensive, which means it’s less likely to happen. Too often we want the world when an old game comes to XBLA, but in reality we need to temper our desires. In fact simple texture updates and some possible character/weapon remodels would be more than enough. Minor graphical improvements – We’re not talking all out HD-ness here. While it didn’t feature any graphical improvements or Xbox Live support, it was a proper port (read: not emulated) and so gets the ball rolling for an XBLA release.
