[QUOTE="Admin, post: 58530, member: 1"] We're in an age of remasters and remakes. In the first few months of 2023 alone, we're seeing relreases of high-profile games like Dead Space, Metroid Prime, and Resident Evil 4. With 2000s nostalgia at an all-time high right now, video game writer David Gaider is calling for a remaster of 2009's Dragon Age: Origins. Gaider was the lead writer and setting creator for BioWare's Dragon Age: Origins, and would go on to work on both Dragon Age II and Dragon Age: Inquisition. On [URL='https://twitter.com/davidgaider/status/1628892760962109441?s=20']Twitter[/URL], Gaider wrote, "If we're on a kick re-mastering games from the aughts, what about Dragon Age Origins? Its graphics were behind the curve even at the time of release... can you imagine it with brand new PS5-era bells and whistles?"

The writer also [URL='https://twitter.com/davidgaider/status/1628899334606712833?s=20']said[/URL] he'd even be satisfied with "Inquisition-level graphics" and just wants "Morrigan to not have the shoulders of a linebacker and for the sex scenes to not look like someone bashing marionettes together and shouting 'now kiss!'"
