You're not my type, please stop fantasizing.
But this just begs the question of why people do make remakes of things like Action 52 then.
Because Action 52 is a meme that got popular after AVGN made multiple videos about it, which prompted people to go "wow it would be fun to remake these shitty broken NES games into something actually fun"
Yeah, but that would be a fan work and I mean that if Romero after being humbled to some extent by the failure of the original game would go back and make it like he envisioned it back then, but with more experience and modern tech during the current boomer shooter craze, that would be a perfect third act for his character's arc. Fuck, I am indifferent with shooters, but even I would try it since the case would be too unique to ignore it.
Not really. The action 52 thing is a ‘fan’ remake by my understanding, so it doesn’t matter as much if it lives or dies. Whereas the remakes I’m talking about are professional studio projects, with IP licenses and the like behind them. Obviously the math’s going to be very different - performing a revival on something that was unpopular the first time is just adding constraints and licensing when you could just pick and choose what you want and make your own thing.
Yours certainly are. I keep hitting you and you just keep coming back. You're like that family of raccoons that decided they like being under my front porch.
Yeah but nowhere in this thread did I say it was strictly for official remakes. Heck in the OP I even mentioned inspired games that aren't technically remakes.
I thought giving you my full attention would make you happy.Couldn't find anything to say about the actual content of the post, huh
I mean, if you want an answer that addresses fan works as well, there's an even more obvious one; if a game is only a few pieces away from being actually good, why remake it when a mod might do the job fine?
For some reason a lot of people are convinced they are though.
The fan remake of King's Field is crap. It's just for morons who can't figure out how to use DuckStation.
The little bit of footage I saw looked to me like they took a game that originally had a bit of character, and turned it into a generic unity engine game.
AVGN and Channel Autism contributed to me hating Youtube critics early on as for years I had to deal with people just endlessly parroting their uninformed takes.
On top of that, being an "FMV game" doesn't necessarily mean a game is bad. It's actually kinda surprising how fun and hectic Night Trap and Double Switch get--they actually do kind of require you to keep an eye on things. It's amazing to me that Scott Cawthon got big off of making FNAF, which as Retsupurae once said is "Night Trap for furries," and yet Night Trap itself is not fondly remembered except by cool people.
