Classic getting resurrected
Well that's unexpected. I'm beginning to wonder what will eventually happens to games that never get a remaster. Before that was a case of basically every game, but now there are so many remasters/remakes, there might be even less motivation to try and revisit those other old games.
I think it largely depends on which version was your first experience. For example, I grew up with Crash Bandicoot. The remakes of the original trilogy are great but always felt off. I recently went back and replayed the ps1 version of Crash 2 and decided that it is the definitive version for me going forward.
Now if we're talking re-releasing the original games, publishers can charge more for remakes. If a game has a remake I assume the originals will never see the light of day again. Nintendo excluded, they're a wildcard.
I mean it mostly for people who haven't played the original in the first place.
I mean, imagine someone new plays e.g. the remaster of Dark Forces, thinks it's dope and goes to try some other FPS of the era which doesn't have a remaster. And they find it's unplayable, won't run etc.
Even tho almost any old game can run totally fine in an emulator or DOSBox, it just might need some control tweaks.
I think that's a better way to go around than this remaster spree. In 30 years, today's remasters will need remasters anyway, with whatever bells and whistles will be deemed as necessary at the time (like trophies today). While the original can still remain and just brought to modern era with newer emulation or whatnot.
Btw I'm not hating, just pondering.
Hopefully it gets a PC port to.
There's The Force Engine, which gives a decent control and performance overhaul for PC version. While you can play on higher resolutions, there's no update to visuals, tho
To what?
With updated graphics.
I meant with the 4k graphics and updated.
It is coming to PC and other consoles according to IGN.

I remember playing this when I was a kid, the head bobbing made my head hurt 🥲 I could never finish it tho
I think it went left and right too much or the head moved like an 8 laid down.
Indeed, I couldn’t remember what it was, just that after like 1 hour of playing my head hurt, but you’re absolutely right 😂
