why do they keep remaking and remastering games from what can only be called “this era” of gaming. as if there aren’t hundreds of games that would be a better fit
Or, for that matter, just making a new game with a similar genre.
The crazy thing is that supermassive have been bringing out games very regularly. They didn’t need this to fill out their portfolio
obviously, but that’s tons more work. what I’m saying is if you’re gonna remake anything, just pick something that is truly outdated or has obtuse controls or something.
They did that with Tomb Raider, but ironically the obtuse controls were pivotal to the game design.
Seems to be the same reason Hollywood just recycles shit; it’s easier than doing something new and there’s already consumer recognition for the product
I’m saying why things that already look good and play well. I’m not against remakes and remasters. with changing technology and conventions, games need it much more than movies do. but why not games that have not aged well.
Maybe they just want to sell the game again by adding a shitty 5 minute mod to it.
this looks to be remade significantly though. models are new, animations are new, scenes are repopulated, props added, lighting changed… not a small task.
Alright. 10 minutes then. Joking of course.
Truth is, some people can afford to look back at a project, think " I can do better", actually do it and then screw it up in completely new and different ways. It happens.
To be “fair”, it’s pretty hard to look better because the original looked great. I would have paid full price for just a straight PC port.
it’s not that, but they seem to have made terrible choices all the way through. in every single comparison I saw in the video the lighting was made way worse.
also the shoulder camera is a dumb idea that was clearly implemented because of resident evil and no other reason. but over the shoulder camera is distinctly a videogame camera, while until dawn was going for ~90s horror movie look and feel.
From the graphical comparison i’ve seen online i can’t but agree with than. And the price is quite excessive for a 10 year old game.
Gotta admit the lighting looks just boring compared to the original. Hope they’ll patch that. Other than that, looks ok to me judging from that short video.
This studio have struggled with technology making every subsequent game to Until Dawn because Sony loaned them some talent to get that one over the line
