Message: [QUOTE="LiberoVulpes, post: 178614, member: 204772"] I don't really care as long as the original versions are still easily available, a remake/remaster shouldn't be a replacement. But, they can totally bring a game deserving of love to the eyes of many new people. I have been thinking about it more, since I reviewed 2 remakes recently, and have some other remakes on my list of things I want to review. [SPOILER="Shameless Plug"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://retrogametalk.com/threads/the-rts-i-never-knew-i-wanted-battlezone-98-redux-review.7955/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://retrogametalk.com/threads/a-sequel-with-an-identity-crisis-battlezone-combat-commander-review.8186/[/URL] [/SPOILER] It was thanks to Battlezone 98 Redux that I finally decided to play Battlezone, and I was pleasantly surprised overall (as harsh as I was in the review of Combat Commander). Some remakes/remasters can totally breathe new life into a franchise, there is no way I can get people to play the original System Shock, as much as I hate Unreal Engine, the remake is solid, and the QoL added makes going back to the original quite difficult. Same for the Homeworld Remasters, which are magnificent, and Gearbox even had the decency of packaging the originals as well. There is also the issue of how much a pain in the ass it is to troubleshoot old PC games, so making them easily available is another pro. But, then there is stuff like Reforged... Which spits on the legacy of Warcraft. Or the SMT3 Nocturne Remaster, which murdered the atmosphere. [/QUOTE]
