We may not be getting a modern revamp for the foreseeable future, but nothing can stop you from picking up the beautiful, original and very classic Giants: Citzen Kabuto from GOG for the price of free.
It’s not a permanent deal obviously — if you want to take advantage of it you’ll need to create a GOG account (if you don’t already have one) and make your “purchase” within the next 35 hours.
After that, the Planet Moon Studios title will be yours. Sure, it’s a little old looking, but there’s something about the art direction and colours that makes it timeless, in a way.
Actually, I think what I remember most about it was that it used “hardware transform and lighting”, back when I had no idea what those features specifically meant. It was almost as pants-wetting as Morrowind‘s pixel-shaded water.

One of the best and strangest games I have ever played. Also remember if you changed something in an ‘ini’ file all the girls were nude.
Actually, you just have to delete the arpfix.gzp file from the game folder.
Man, I was such an asshole in that game. As Kabuto in MP I used to grab the Sea Reapers and hurl them as far as possible out to sea, so they’d have to spend several minutes swimming back. It was hilarious every time.
