The Challenges of Remastering Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura
In his recent video, RPG veteran Tim Cain highlights the complex hurdles to remastering Arcanum. Despite its potential, corporate interest seems tenuous given the game's niche appeal. The game is often likened to an alternate Fallout 2, offering a rich narrative and player choice, yet it suffers from polish issues. - Technical revisions are necessary, including UI and resolution upgrades. - The legal labyrinth involving the original creators complicates any progress. Cain's optimism is overshadowed by the pessimism about corporate willingness to invest in a title with such a convoluted history. While fan patches exist, an official remaster remains a distant hope.
