Message: [QUOTE="ec2025ec2025, post: 355341, member: 116145"] So much this. In a perfect world remakes would be about getting a chance to polish an imperfect "diamond in the rough" or a quirky, interesting idea that just wasn't ready for primetime with its original release. As we should all know, in practice market forces don't work like that though. Well-made thing sold big? Became popular? Rerelease popular well-made thing, with a different coat of paint so people hopefully think you aren't completely shafting them! Not to insult the devs - as an SE myself I'm sure they've put alot of effort into their work - but the push from the execs will be to put the least effort in for the most 💵 , and because it's already a "safe", "proven" IP the more passionate developers would likely find their more passion driven ideas falling on deaf ears.... Note: one big example of a passionate team really improving things for the fans is the kind of remakes / rereleases / modernised ports the likes of M2 do, in particular their Shottriggers series for Shoot Em Ups.
