I can't think of a game that deserves a modern VR remake more than Black and White. I wonder who owns the rights these days?
I've been saying this for years, game is like the perfect concept for VR. I think Microsoft would own the IP yeah they bought Lionhead?
That was my first thought, but I remember there was some rights snaggle that kept B&W from appearing on GOG. Looking it up, according to an interview the source code and IP are owned by Microsoft but EA still has the distribution rights.
Well that sucks :I
I love capitalism "Hey instead of someone doing something with this lets all sit on it and give everyone the middle finger. If I can't profit nobody can"
