I just want to be able to play black and white\black and white 2 with out having to pirate and crack and do a bunch of work arounds.

(Okay really what I want is a black and white reboot using the PS5 and taking advantage of the duel sense touch pad for the spell casting)

That first game was rough around the edges, but so so good.

Still could be considered a work around and may require pirating but this exists

I haven't tried it myself yet though since the setup seems like a bit of a hassle.

Speaking of Black & White I just want a reboot that uses a VR headset. Any other game I couldn't care less about VR but Black & White....

These games were so good. Does anyone know why they've never done a modern take on these games? I remember them being pretty popular.

The studio dissolved from my understand the rights for the IP are in a void where nobody technically owns them and the entire franchise is abandonware at this point.
