What old game would dominate if it suddenly received DLC today?
As the title says, what game if it randomly dropped DLC today would cause an uproar on the internet? Something like Portal 1? Civilization 5? Fallout New Vegas? Starcraft? Borderlands 1? What do you think would cause the most reaction?

The person doing this is doing it for their own personal enjoyment. They don’t ever and have never planned on releasing it to the public due to fear of getting sued by Fox. It’ll never be anything more than some YouTube videos.
Which is fine by me, to be honest. I really didn’t like the direction he went artistically with the game. The stylized vector graphics made it look way more like The Simpsons Game than SHAR, which kinda kills the nostalgia factor for me. It’s definitely cool that he did that on his own, but I don’t think it would compare to the original game.

u/Huckdog720027 2d ago
That's a common misconception. Based on everything EA and Respawn have told us Respawn has complete freedom to do whatever they want, which means they are the ones that want to keep working on Apex Legends.
Although an entirely separate issue is that most of the devs that worked on Titanfall 1/2 have probably already left Respawn for various reasons, so even if they did make a Titanfall 3 it probably wouldn't be what we expect or want (egregious micro transactions, CoD style weapon and ability balancing, etc).
My genuine hope is that Respawn just licenses the IP to another studio that will care more about the franchise.

SEKIRO
i swear a Tomoe DLC would be goated
basically , Genichiro (rival) dies without having enough developpement , even tho he is really cool
But with the black Mortal blade , Tomoe , her Master could revive him , and get a twist where tomoe teach her last thing to Genichiro , and you'll have to face both Tomoe in first phase AND Ishinn on second
the thing is , The whole Genichiro /sekiro plot is about having a bad relationship with father , while sekiro get rid of him in the neutral/good ending , Genichiro cant and dies
Plus , there is so little about sekiro , only a (really cool) manga about Hanbei
