Plenty of new stuff is still coming out so I can see no reason to be upset about remakes and remasters.

ReplicantBatty, do gaming w Are there too many video game remakes and remasters?

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.

AlexWIWA,

And fix annoying game behaviors like game logic being tied to FPS and zoom being tied to resolution.

what about Mafia Definitive Edition? I’d say that is probably the one good example of a remake.

terminhell, do gaming w Are there too many video game remakes and remasters?

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.

AlexWIWA, do gaming w Are there too many video game remakes and remasters?

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.

DmMacniel,

Had high hopes after the smashing success of red alert and command and conquer remastered :(

AlexWIWA,

Same. I will be depressed until I get the Tiberian Sun announcement.

I’m reminded of AlphaDream, which died as a company shortly after releasing a remake of a game where the original was still playable on the same console.

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

@beefcat I assure you it runs on the ps5 and was released on the ps5 because it was THREE YEARS AGO

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.

I feel publishers are doing small stabs at originals while doing full milk-yo-wallet efforts with remakes/remasters. Pretty conservative approach, imo.

moog, do gaming w Are there too many video game remakes and remasters?

The only remakes that were worth it are the RE:makes

toxicbubble420, do gaming w Are there too many video game remakes and remasters?

half of all remakes are worse than their originals. all we need are modern ports of older games so i don’t have to emulate

@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.

Rhoeri, do gaming w Are there too many video game remakes and remasters?

Yes. One hundred percent yes without exception- YES.

Polyester6435, do gaming w Are there too many video game remakes and remasters?

Yes

At the same, does “painting our selfs into a corner” loose having true ending to stories?

Constraints and limitations drive creativity, but you have accept a final product at some point and move to another universe/story.

Yeah this sounds like modern serials, end everything on a cliffhanger and never commit to anything. Which was basically their problem already.

They couldn’t accept that 3 games in, some people would be locked out due to their choices in 1 or 2. Who cares? We have our lives to play them. Lock 'em out. Thats why 1 & 2 were cool, your choices came with you.

Hotdogman, do games w Former Mass Effect lead writer says new narrative-focused studio will "avoid painting ourselves in a corner"

Blue, green or red. Please no more of that.

LKPU26,

Agreed. Drew Karpyshyn was the Lead writer for ME 1 & 2. When Mac Walters took there was a quality drop.

Example: the Dark Matter plot line was dropped and, I seem to recall, this was meant to be the motivation behind the reapers. Creating a psychic species that could control dark matter.

ME books story series also crashed once Drew Karpyshyn left.

To be fair, it can’t be easy finishing off someone else’s work.

This is exactly what I’ve wanted. Anytime we get a plot point that fits in the following lists, I feel like it severely handicaps the writing potential of any other stories you could tell.

  • Humanity was created for the sole purpose of ???
  • Everything you’ve experienced is part of a simulation.
  • Our entire lives are lived for the fight against the ???. But it turns out that whole war was a conspiracy by the patriarchy.
  • There are many enemies around us. But we may as well throw our swords and guns in the trash, because the only ones who can fight them are the chosen ???, born with special powers.
  • Not much of humanity is left, so we need to preserve what we can and never ever get into any major conflicts.
