Message: [QUOTE="BunnyLain, post: 164147, member: 112643"] Really hot take: Games aren't art if they need remakes and remasters. People claim that if a game needs to be released on the newer generation of hardware it needs something to justify the price hike that comes with adjusting to the market or something that will bring fans back, but eh.. no. If a game was good, it should still be good even without the resolution bump that shows off devs were using the visual medium of CRT to blend pixels and make it look cooler than it was. Also with how many games are designed for the control scheme and quirks of the console, remaking them or remastering them on something else loses that. Like, No More heroes. So much of that game is about the Wii controller. Sure you can change it to be played on a 360 controller, but then it's basically not the same game. Just like it I had to play pacman with gestures. Not the same. I'd be fine with them if people would call games what they are, toys. But the whole industry is pushing them more and more to tell complex stories and be elevated at which point. Yea, you can remake or remaster that story, but is the original authors or teams intentions still? Idk. And like, is the gameplay important to the game if its getting changed for the story to have a visual upgrade? I have complicated feelings about games really. [/QUOTE]
