List of Fan (OpenSource) Ports/Remakes of Games

Comments

• Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Beside the already mentioned Open Source Game Clones there’s also this list on GitHub.

  As for specific titles, I’d like to add:

  • Fallout Community Edition and Fallout 2 Community Edition
  • VCMI (open-source engine for Heroes of Might and Magic III)
  • OpenGOAL (port of Jax and Daxter, second and third game in development)
  • OpenGothic (officially only supports Gothic 2 but works with the first game as well)
  • Perfect Dark port
  • Super Mario 64 Port
  • TRX – Tomb Raider I & II: Community Edition

  There’s also WipeOut Phantom Edition but this one isn’t open-source so I’ll just leave it here in case someone wants to check out the existing build.

    Thanks for the list, but i try to keep it in the PC Side of gaming, mostly i’m more familiar with that. I’ll think about If and how i add these to the list :) Thanks again:)

    • Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yeah, I’ve seen it after writing this. Thankfully, half of these are for PC native games so I didn’t miss completely.

  It’s a shame that Another Metroid 2 Remake got Cease & Desisted, purely because Nintendo was about to release Samus Returns and didn’t want to compete with a fan game that was better.

  I’ve edited the post, so it looks more appealing. Sorry, that it was so hard to read at first, i hope now it’s better

• testman@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  osgameclones.com is the best aggregate for this kind of thing.
  libregamewiki.org also looks like something relevant.

  Maybe now that we have a messy thread of various links, we can go check whether some of them are not yet listed in osgameclones.

  Star Wars Jedi Knight I and II: Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast (Not stable) - OpenJK github.com/JACoders/OpenJK

  Despite the official name being “Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy” it is not Jedi Knight I. It is actually a sequel to Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. It came out only a year after JO and was announced in April. At first I thought it was an April Fool’s joke because the screenshots looked like something that could easily be made with the mod tools at the time.

  Anyways, the real Jedi Knight I was “Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II”. An open source implementation is available at github.com/shinyquagsire23/OpenJKDF2

  And to round it off, the open source implementation of Dark Forces is available at theforceengine.github.io. I think it even supports the remaster.

    I actually really appreciate someone clarifying the chronology of these games, I’ve got them all in my steam library and can never remember the order they go in.

    Do the OS remakes have any QoL improvements? I tried playing through them recently and had a very hard time with the manual save system since I’m used to autosave points in linear games like that.

    source

    • bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      As far as I know they don’t add autosaves. I think the priority was things like proper wide-screen support and higher resolutions for the older games.

      source
  • OTINOKTYAH@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I See where i went wrong. Thanks for pointing that out and thanks for the Links to Dark Forces.

    I 'll add that to the list and change the names

    Thanks again

  • Super Mario Bros. X is a Mario fan-game remake that uses lots of assets from the SNES era of Mario games (Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario RPG).
  • Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a Sonic fan game made from the Doom engine, inspired by the Sega Genesis era of Sonic games.

  They’re both open-source.

  • OTINOKTYAH@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I like this two but i try to keep it in the pc gaming Side, less the console Side. Mostly because i never Had a console;)

    source

    • Zahille7@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I mean you can only play them on PC, so I’m not really sure what you’re saying here

      Ah sorry, I missed it somehow. Thanks!

• Coelacanth@feddit.nu ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  It’s not finished yet but OpenXray Gunslinger is probably going to be a better STALKER: Call of Pripyat remaster than the official one that just got announced.

  source

  • OTINOKTYAH@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Thanks, added to the list :)

  Don’t forget the Xash3D engine for GoldSrc games (e.g. Half-Life and mods). It runs on everything from a PSP to a PC. And it’s faithful. It relies on the original assets.

  How come there’s no mention of 0.A.D, it has amazing graphics, at least from the videos and screenshots. Haven’t gotten a chance to play it unfortunately.

  OpenRA www.openra.net to play Red Alert, Command and Conquer and Dune 2000

• Zahille7@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Throw Manic Miners on there. It’s a fan remake of the old Lego Rock Raiders game, and it’s really fun. There’s a custom level builder and I think there’s a browser you can search for other custom levels.

  • OTINOKTYAH@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Thanks for the Tip! I added it to the list!

  Widelands - Settlers II inspired game, played a couple of hours, pretty neat.

  FreeCIV - how can that gme be missing here? :)

  UnCIV - Civ V clone, also pretty neat

  source

  • OTINOKTYAH@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Thanks. I’ve added the games to the Addendum “Inspired Games”, but i think UnCIV is more a remake

    source
  • Lumiluz@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I wouldn’t say Unciv is a Civ5 clone with those graphics though…

    source

    • Esjott@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      So remake as the website says? 🤔

  Oh, also ScummVM should always be included in such a list. It supports a ton of classic adventure games from LucasArts, Sierra and others. And by now even Might and Magic 4+5: World of Xeen.

    A few more honorable mentions that are not exact re-implementations with compatibility with the original datafiles, but more spiritual followups:

    Total Annihilation - TA Spring > Spring Engine > Recoil Engine > Beyond All Reason github.com/beyond-all-reason (I think there are mods that make it “Basically TA”)

    EV Nova - Endless Sky endless-sky.github.io
