Why does no one make a Black and White-style game?

As long as we are talking about old games that are still the gold standard, how is it possible no one has recreated the giant-god-monster and city management game Black and White yet?! That game was fantastic, and its premise so solid. It seems ripe for replication in more contemporary engines. #gaming #blackandwhite

Steam:Fata Deum ファタ・デウム

往年の神ゲームの数々にインスパイアされた『Fata Deum』では、自分のイメージ通りに集落や町人を作ることができる。集落を立派に発展させるのか?それとも、暴力に満ちた放蕩と悪魔をのさばらせるのか?あなたの気まぐれによって、美しい生物界が成長するのを見てみよう。

Looks interesting but the trailer doesn't really portrait the same spark as black and white. What made BW so interesting was really how charming it was combined with an interaction method that made you feel godly. This has the idea of being a god, but will you interact using godly powers? Or do you just change settings via menus no different than any other Civ like game.
