I just wish the games that are remade/remastered are basically just graphic updates, with some bug fixes and minor qol additions. That’s it. Not like what they did to ff7.
Hell, diablo 2 Remaster was good. The addition of being able to swap between new and old graphics on the fly is amazing tbh.
Nah, there’s just not enough of actual old titles that could do with a remake or remaster.
No
Yes. Especially when it’s only like 2 or 3 years after first release. It’s just double dipping at that point.
@Thalestr @chloyster on the SAME SYSTEM. Crazy
no, the original is only a PS4 game
that is the PS4 version running under backwards compatibility. the game released months before the PS5 launched.
you wouldn’t call f-zero gx a wii game just because the wii is backwards compatible with gamecube games.
Yes but I’ll still take a Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 remake.
I hope remasters continue for games that are from the era where they relied on specific OS library hacks to get the game running. Those games are hard to run on modern OSs.
Had high hopes after the smashing success of red alert and command and conquer remastered :(
Same. I will be depressed until I get the Tiberian Sun announcement.
I’m fine with remasters that allow us to play old games on modern hardware. I’m somewhat ok with remakes to an extent. I’m not ok with the constant remakes of games that aren’t old enough to need a remake or the original game still holds up. Most recent remakes aren’t needed and feel like cash grabs
Yes, if it meant that Sony made PlayStation exclusive games available on PC immediately, rather than upon remastering.
No if it meant I’d just never get to play any of thos games.
The only remakes that were worth it are the RE:makes
Yes. One hundred percent yes without exception- YES.
@chloyster we can’t get a remake of KOTOR but somehow we are getting this piece of crap on THE EXACT SAME SYSTEM it was released on.
The last one was PS4 though. I agree it’s unnecessary, but it’s not the exact same system.
Plenty of new stuff is still coming out so I can see no reason to be upset about remakes and remasters.
Yes.
We have so much technology and innovation and a line of millions of people with ideas who want to make games.
Yet we spend our billions in the video game industry to zhuzh up ps2 games made by a studio of 35 people including support and sales.
Why? Because it’s slightly easier to market, despite again the billions available to spend making new and exciting games.
And honestly the example you gave is rather a good example of a remake. The PS2 is 20 years old at this point. If the game was well made and the remake/ remaster is well-executed? Why would anyone object to this?
New and exciting games exist. This isn’t an issue. In most cases I’d even say that while money surely is important, in most cases it’s not a lack of money preventing a good game, but rather another issue that might lead to funds running out. If that makes sense.
The current situation is way better than say 25-30 years ago, and those games weren’t exactly trash.
Would be a good one, yes. But currently the trend is getting closer from 1.5 to 1 generation ago
Worst offenders to me are cod, despite a bigger time gap. Force bundling a remake into another live service game that STILL GETS SHUT DOWN AFTER A FEW YEARS FOR THE NEXT LIVE SERVICE.
Remakes: Yes Remasters: No
I don’t like when they remake a game I loved but they add a bunch to it like new gameplay mechanics, or make changes to stories or characters. That being said not all remakes are bad, probably most are just fine, but really not my cup of tea.
I greatly prefer a straight remaster. Just update the graphics, remaster the sound, maybe add a little more details to the game world, and I’m a happy dude.
what about Mafia Definitive Edition? I’d say that is probably the one good example of a remake.
And fix annoying game behaviors like game logic being tied to FPS and zoom being tied to resolution.
Ok is this eurogamer cookie request a fucking joke? They care about privacy and they will share information with their 756 partners?
Yes
