Other With the surge of decomps and recomps we're seeing lately, would you be in or against the XIII trilogy getting the same treatment and why ?

I've been wondering about that for some time now. As a matter of fact, I actually asked the same question here some weeks after the release of Sonic Unleashed Recompiled, but I guess it wasn't well received.

We know that the PC ports are broken, to say the least. But also thanks to the modders, we can have the trilogy now running at 60fps and above for those with the strongest hardware.

But looking at projects like Sonic Unleashed Recompiled, Ninja Gaiden Black, God of War 3, Uncharted, Dusklight, InFamous etc... What do you think ?

To me, if the trilogy was to be ported to PC from recompilation, then it would be great from a modding perspective, but that would also mean having to code every QoL mods (or even create them from scratch) again for them to work with the new port. Also, from an accessibility point of view, that wouldn't be very practical as we'd need to get our hands on 360 .iso files to play the games when we can just download them on specific online stores.

I believe that, aside from better modding support and implementations of QoL features (we can all think about anything that's frustrating that we'd have loved to see corrected in updates), there wouldn't be many advantages to recompile the trilogy. What do you think ?

Again, I want to discuss this. I'm not trying to brainstorm anything that could lead to an actual project (I don't have the skills anyway). But I also know that I'm not the only one who wondered about that, so let's talk !
