2. Sim City:
Why this hasn’t happened yet is something I literally fall asleep at night pondering. LEGOs are meant to build things; Sim City is a city building simulator. Am I the only who sees the potential overlap? While the changes made to the game would probably only be aesthetic, a LEGO rendition of Sim City would be undeniably cool. It would be a step away from the style of gameplay that the LEGO games tend to center around, but anyone who has been playing games for awhile can tell you that for the most part, change is a good thing. Besides, it’s been awhile since a proper Sim City game came out and honestly, it might be nice to play a version of the game that was more akin to the simplicity of the original. I don’t want anything fancy! I just want to build a city and then intentionally unleash natural disasters on it. Rubble only looks cooler when it’s comprised of little plastic blocks.
1. Final Fantasy VII:
A remake of this is going to happen someday. Square Enix can deny it all they want, but honestly when it comes right down to it, a new version of this game would sell like dollar menu hotcakes, and there isn’t a developer in the world that can resist that kind of guaranteed fiscal success forever. That being said, the constant call for a new FFVII is still kind of annoying, especially considering the amount of time it takes for new Final Fantasy games to come out. As such, I think it would be fun to mess with all the fan boys out there and make a new version of FFVII in LEGO form. It would be an entirely unexpected way to go with it, likely to displease a lot of people hoping for a more Advent Children approach to the graphics, while still remaining very cool. You wouldn’t even have to change all that much, really. Even at their best, the character models in FFVII were pretty blocky any ways.
