      I’m of a firm opinion that no game needs a remake. Fixing up old games so that they can be played on modern systems - yes please. Remaking the same game but “”“better”“” - no thanks, I’d rather see something original and new come out

      There are some exceptions like Pathologic 2 which is basically a remake but also a reimagining, but those are exceedingly rare.

        I must disagree.

        Like while i can still fully enjoy old resident evil games, because i have nostalgia for the i fully understand why people who are born after they have been made would be put of by them.

        By remaking those games they could indruduce the game to whole new audience who would never play the yanky outdated versions.

        More extreme example. I would love to have modernised version of Betrayal at Krondor. It had good story. The core gameplay and world was great and there was intresting mechanics, but it was released 1993, so it by modern standards it looks like garbage and the ui is very unintuitive.

        Most gamers now will never experience that story and those who do, will not get the same experience i got, because they will look everything in the game as a product of its time and the focus will be on the retro aspect, not on the game it self.

        I’ll disagree a bit. Angel of Darkness should definitely have been a Remake.

        They must have put so much effort in to get that just as crappy as the original.

          New Vegas needs it to.

          I love the fuck out of the game, but its heavily handicapped by its need to fit within console limitations at the time of its release… Not only that, its just full of jank.

          A remaster is not capable of addressing the core issues that need addressing with New Vegas, especially with no source code.

          A remake is the only way to get a solid, amazing update to New Vegas that will endure for another 16+ years.

        and less loading screens, especially around new vegas, because they had to cater to the ram limits of the consoles at the time.

          going to the top of the lucky 38 and seeing absolutely nothing out the window was such a huge disappointment

          i figured since fo3 had the washington monument then surely new vegas would have a similar one

            the best thing about a remake for either Fallout 3 or New Vegas, it’d do a significant chunk of the work for remaking the other one.

            So having them bundled into one remake bundle would be fantastic.

            Probaly never happen, but a boy can dream.

              You expect an official release of Tale of Two Wastelands?

              Each game will be released separately for 70 dollars and will be disappointing.

                  That was more of a remaster than a remake. A remake would be making the game from scratch and could be expanded and/or changed. For example expanding the legion side of the map and making Ulysses into a companion instead of a villain. There’s so much cut content for New Vegas that you could remake the game and have it be distinct from the original.

                ??

                No?

                Each game will be released separately for 70 dollars and will be disappointing.

                Yeah, I know. Thanks for ruining the fantasy.
