What was wrong with the PSP remake?

From now on, I'm going to complain about remakes in ever remake thread, because fuck em. They aren't creative. They won't recapture the magic you experienced with the original title. If you buy remakes, fuck you; you enable this shit industry, and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I'm going to buy the FF7 remake because I haven't played it :-)

I'll actually steal it

>>4968812
There are a few remakes that are truly excellent, though. Ys 1&2 are a perfect example, Sword of Mana being another.

I get the sentiment, though. Most are shit or just hollow mimicry.

>>4968812
The Resident Evil remake is better than the original.

It's a B game. There's not much to ruin.

>>4968805
Wrong board, sorry.

>>4968812
This. Fuck the messed up jump inertia of Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, fuck that bland Spyro remake that didn't even came out yet. I'm mentioning the tip of the iceberg i know, but you get the point. Remasters, remakes, graphic overhauls, all this stuff come to a price. Not only the economic one, but you won't absolutely get the same feel, hear the same sounds, see the same textures and so on. Maybe i'm biased because i know i fucking love those damn gaudy pixels on these games but the hell with that, it's very rare the case you'll get a fine game with this huge, lucrative videoludic market. An example is the Monkey Island Special Edition, that lets the player switch to the old version at anytime of the game.

get a load of this faggot

>>4968831
Did you even read the OP?

>>4968837
pls no f-slur pls k thx :-)

>>4968843
Yes. Mentioning at the end of the post doesn't change that the main reason for the thread is talking about a new game. If he wanted to start a Medievil thread he could have done so.

>he uses scores as an argument

Turbo faggot.

What else is there? "Feels"?

>>4969009

Do you need other people to tell you if a game is good or if you will enjoy it? Are you 12?

>>4969019
It's how I decided which games to buy before ubiquitous video streaming. EGM never failed me :-)

Back to /v/

>>4968812
How the fuck am I supposed to convince those money-grubbing fucks to greenlight proper sequels if I don't prove there's a market for it by putting my money down?

>>4969115
When has this ever worked out this way, though? I mean, when has the support of a dead franchise deciding to milk its dried up udder with a remake ever resulted in a revitalization spawning a decent sequel?

>>4969125
This is pretty much the only method I have.

>>4969125
DVD sales brought back Family Guy (which never was good) and it's why Game of Thrones happened.

>>4969128
Why try to "le voat w/ muh cartera :DDD" when there's already so many other worthwhile games and real life experiencesyou'll never have time for?

>>4969129
Yeah, that's really not the same thing. I was specifically asking for an example of a *remake* having this effect. A gaming-related example would be even better.

>>4969128
I get the sentiment; it's not that I just want to shit on you for wanting to retain some hope. I just don't think it's ever gonna work out that way.

>>4968834
>lets the player switch to the old version at anytime
Pixelart is not the old version. It looks way better than it did.

>>4968996
You can talk about remasters and remakes here. Lurk more.

>>4969085
Are you aware it cost money upfront to play most games in the 90s? Eeven for those of us with friends because they didn't have most of them and the store kiosks had only one or two at a time?

IT HAS RISEN AGAIN

>>4968996
That's wrong

>>4968820
This. I feel the same way about remakes as I do the reboot mania going on everywhere, but I can't deny that some redos were needed.
