The title sounds like a MBA talking out of his arse. It doesn’t have any value whatsoever.

Damn, I’d get not a single recommendation. That’d be wild. 🤣

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

To write yourself into a corner you should be writing in the first place.

What Walters does hardly qualifies.

EmergMemeHologram, do gaming w Are there too many video game 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.

Laser,

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.

shapesandstuff,

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.

Yes. It’s like “let’s not pursue new ideas, it’s too risky. Let’s repeat what worked once” - like in the movie industry as well. It’s boring and uninspired.

gustulus,

Same for the music industry, just pick some random 90s hit and make it 10 times worse.

Centillionaire,

This is why I’m not happy with there being so many remakes. Remakes are awesome, if it also means we are getting a totally new game as well. Nintendo seems to do this the best. New Mario’s, remakes of Zelda games, new Zelda games, etc.

I do wish they would make a sequel to Mario RPG or make an actual Paper Mario RPG like the first two were.

ReplicantBatty,

Yeah, I definitely agree that it’s kind of a systemic problem, and pretty much how things are right now. I don’t really care for that mindset of focusing so much on older games and not prioritizing new ideas or IPs. At the same time, I’m honestly a total sucker for nostalgia, I grew up playing games from like late 90s to mid 2000s, and I would be so stoked if they remade or remastered all those games I grew up on. I would throw money at whoever remastered the Need For Speed games from '98 to '06, as good as those games were for the time, they could look so amazing with modern technology. I wanna relive my teenage years but in 4k :D

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

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.

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

I’d argue that video games need remakes and remasters far more than movies do. Video game technologies change a lot in 10-15 years, so a remake/remaster is an opportunity to improve controls and fix issues with running the game on hardware that hadn’t been concieved at the time of the game’s release. Plenty of old games have severe bugs, outdated controls or general issues with newer hardware (can’t handle widescreen monitors, buttons don’t scale for high resolutions, etc.) which can make replaying them a pain.

You sit down to watch a 25 year old movie and it’s pretty easy to watch, but you sit down to play a 25 year old game and it’s going to vary wildly if you can even get it to run in the first place, let alone if it’ll run well

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

Yes. Just move on and make new games worth playing, instead of rehashing the past. And more often than not, fucking it up in the process. Only our modern society would accept and accommodate a remade game that’s 100% worse than the original.

CleoTheWizard, do gaming w Tekken 8 PC requirements pack a punch, requires 100 GB available storage space
@CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t envy the space that fighting games are in. They need to make games that run extremely well on hardware to remain competitive but also need great graphics capability while still having a varied move set with plenty of effects.

And RAM is not scaling the same as storage or graphics so that’s why this is happening.

Kraivo,

There is no excuse to ANY game, even the biggest open world, to have such a huge size. And we all know why it happens, because of uncompressed music and textures that people don’t want to waste time compressing nowadays.

And having a game take 100gb of size instead improving loading times and jumping from fight to fight on instant is stupidity. Gosh, graphics isn’t all

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

LODs take up a lot of space. If it were just a matter of compression, everyone would be compressing their assets. In this case though, Tekken is going to have a lot of story mode cutscenes that wouldn't have a prayer of running in real time on modern hardware, much like MK.

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

Until I get my Legend Of Dragoon remake, there aren't too many, no. After that ya'll can do what you want

mxcory,

Taps foot for MegaMan legends 1 & 2.

I so want remakes of these two games.

TwilightVulpine,

Those need some serious rework. They manage to look beautiful even today with clever stylization, but the gameplay is ROUGH.

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

I don’t like remasters, especially those which are usually just re-release with hi-res textures. They are charging like $30 and above for hi-res texture, and some of them has unstable framerates. At certain point of time, using emulator yields better graphics & performance than some of those remasters, especially for PS1/PS2 games.


On the other hand, I actually like remakes way more.

First of all FF7Rshouldn’t be considered as remake, it should be considered as its own spinoff / sequel

Remake not only exploits that nostalgia, but also tend to make game plays better with added QoL functions, sometimes with new gameplay mechanics. Some of the remakes that I really like:

  • Yakuza 1+2 Kiwami
  • Crisis Core
  • Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
  • Resident Evil 1+2 (have not played 3+4 remakes yet)
  • Live a Live
  • Mass Effect Trilogy (thankfully it’s not just a hi-res port)

Remake is great when there’s a significant technology and time gaps between the games, which is why TLOU remakes drew some ires.

xerazal,

Fucking finally someone gets it!

Nah, there’s just not enough of actual old titles that could do with a remake or remaster.

Eggyhead, do gaming w Are there too many video game remakes and remasters?
@Eggyhead@kbin.social avatar

For older games that are difficult to install or run by modern means., I think remakes and remasters are completely justified. Upgrades for older games to support newer technologies is nice, but something like TLoU Part 1 getting two remasters on a platform that has no issue running the first remaster already seems more exploitative and a waste of resources than conservational. If it sells like hotcakes, though, who am I to judge?

Ok is this eurogamer cookie request a fucking joke? They care about privacy and they will share information with their 756 partners?

HawlSera, (edited ) do gaming w Are there too many video game remakes and remasters?

My only problem with the remakes and remasters is that they keep censoring shit that wasn’t even controversial or offensive in the first place.

Heck, with patches these days, you don’t even have to wait for the remaster for censorship CoughSkullGirlsSuperHotVRcough
