One of the more recent trends in gaming has seen the re-release of classic games in updated or enhanced formats across all systems, broadening the potential audience for older games. These remakes are now becoming a key way for new gamers to experience old games, but is it the right way to do things? In the first of a two week look at the industry, we look at the case for remakes - why they are such a lucrative business and why they eventually do benefit the gaming community as a whole, allowing us to experience classic games in new and exciting ways.
Rare has had an astonishing journey since being founded in 1985. But of the 125 titles released to date, which are the 7 best Rare games?
As Microsoft takes popular Xbox exclusives to other consoles, James Bond FPS Goldeneye 007 should get similar treatment on PS5.
Maybe it is time to just let Goldeneye go. People keep e-begging for this game and it came back in various iterations; remastered and original and in the end it was just meh. The game was a product of its time like Perfect Dark and Timesplitters.
It's from a bygone era that was good at the time but is pants now. Same with turok.
BLG writes, "There are many fantastic and iconic weapons in game history, but some are significantly more memorable than others. When we think of iconic game weapons, these are the top 20 that come to mind."
You forgot one and it's a doozy. The weapon is kindness in undertale. :) defeats countless enemies.
If devs/pubs do remake a game, they better add new things and improvements.
Good Remake = LoZ:OoT. It added alot of new content.
Bad Remake = Rayman 2 3DS. They just ported it from the DC version. Nothing new and it still has the issues that plagued the past versions.
As long as they don't make too many of them (or at least have a special reason) then it's okay. New experiences are just as important as revisiting them.
And as lizard81288 said, they also need to provide something new to these remakes. Nothing huge, but SOMETHING; an HD makeover does not cut it IMO. Zelda 3D, Star Fox 3D, those had better graphics AND new content. Playstation 2 HD collections have trophies and Halo Anniversary had the version switch feature.
