I fondly remember the first time I played Populous: The Beginning on its demo disk on the PlayStation 1. Since then, I have continued to play this game on my PC laptop, and my affection for it remains. I believe it is high time for EA to remaster this beloved game. The opportunity to experience this game with updated graphics and expanded online map options could rejuvenate this cherished franchise.

Released in 1998, Populous: The Beginning was ahead of its time, revolutionizing the strategy game genre with its creativity and innovation [source: GameSpot]. It is worth noting that the game was so popular that it sold over 4 million copies worldwide [source: IGN]. Given such popularity and the game's historical significance, it is our belief that a remastered version would be welcomed by old and new fans alike.

We must also consider the current trend in the gaming industry. With remasters like Command & Conquer and Age of Empires proving successful, it is clear that there is an appetite for classic game revival [source: TechRadar]. Undoubtedly, a remastered and enhanced Populous: The Beginning has unrealized potential.

Together, let us call on EA Games to revisit this classic, pay homage to its legacy, and create a remaster befitting of its prestige. By signing this petition, we show EA Games our commitment to a remastered version of Populous: The Beginning. Sign the petition today.
