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.
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.
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.
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.
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 sounds like it could work well, just hope they aren’t given short or unrealistic deadlines by NetEase. The people he’s assembled thus far have released amazing material during their careers when they were given enough time.
One of those is there to sell more Playstation Plus Premium memberships. The other is there as a cheap way to try and convince a few people to buy a game no one wants.
With the best workers wanting remote work, not sure what they expect to get from opening an office in Austin. Traffic is terrible, office space costs a ton, and Noone will apply to work in their office.
It’s incredibly isolating when there is a game you are super keen to play, but your gaming group powers through as a group to end game, leaving you on your own to play catch-up.
They make promises to help, but magically they are always to busy even for a ten minute assist to help kill that boss it took them five people to take down.
A little empathy would have gone a long way, perhaps an invite to a group when they’ve rerolled their fourth character while I’m still levelling my first.
The people I’d been playing games with for the past few years stopped including me even on a token level. ‘We thought you were in guild/server/discord already.’ Never did get those invites.
You just got shit friends, there’s communities on here to find people to play games with, always someone on there looking for a gaming buddy, check some of them out, they all seem pretty cool.
