    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

        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 what I’m saying is if you’re gonna remake anything, just pick something that is truly outdated or has obtuse controls or something.

      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.
