A faithful remake is always welcome as is a polished remaster however this angle of the industry is usually of the cash-grab nature and it's never usually results in a gesture to fans that they truly deserve. The worst thing is when they remove the original games from sale and then replace them wholly with the new version aka remaster - Warcraft 3 Reforged did this whereby the removed staple features, applied a disgusting DRM layer and released a broken and disgraceful version in the process. GTA Trilogy Remasted also did this initially. Diablo 2 was also an excellent and incredibly faithful remaster futher ruined by publisher-made decisions and horrendous servers. Also the original is still available but Resurrected was supposed to offer users the best of both worlds yet within one week they destroyed almost everything and killed off a game that was going strong for 20 years. Other games like Demon Souls Remastered, Mafia Definitive Edition and the hugely impressive Resident Evil 2 are examples of games redone and done well particularly the latter. Others like Skyrim have been milked to death per generation but there's plenty of other worthy ones like Tony Hawk 1 and 2 along with Nightdive Studio's impressive range of old-school shooters they are rebuilding whilst retaining everything of the original titles. Those don't get the recognition they truly deserve. GTA Trilogy was one of the most disappointing, shameful and embarrassing releases ever though - such a prestigious range of games ruined by a mobile developer who used AI to recreate assets which resulted in significant amount of spelling errors and the games themselves didn't even go through Q&A testing! Even amateur modders have done better than multi-billionaires Rockstar with this and their work was DMCA'd to death as a result. There just isn't enough trust in the industry now from a consumer standpoint with these especially if games are being remade by people that were too young to even remember when the original came out. I love the prospect of a Max Payne remaster coming but I am not going to get 'hyped' or delude myself because of the problems above which prominent in this part of the industry across many developers and their respective publishers. Resorting to remakes or remasters is also a sign of no ambition, lack of creativity and developers/publishers being unwilling to take a risk on something original. That also rings alarm bells.

If a game is to be remade I think I prefer the controls etc to be updated as well as the looks. I'm the opposite of Bones, I found RE1 remake very annoying but i do get that it makes the remake more authentic. RE 2 is for me probably the best way to redo a game. They did a fantastic job. But it depends...the Mafia remake redid the controls but I preferred the original rather than newer controls. Males me wonder about the GoldenEye remake, that would be awful with the original controls, unless they sell the N64 controller with it😁 While part of me thinks remakes are a sign of lack of imagination, if done well, like RE2, then I'm happy enough. The GTA remakes are the other side of the coin, just a shitty cash grab and have tarnished the franchise forever in my eyes.

Resi 2 remake was pretty decent it was a shame they were charging for the original sound's of the game but that's how thing's are these day's but did love how it looked visually. They could of made it harder as even on the hardest difficulty it was rather easy but I never got that nostalgia feeling from when I was younger Resi 3 remake again visually it looked great but was way to short as I did a speed run finishing it in 1 hour 2 minutes so should of been way longer and again way to easy on the hardest difficulty. Resi 1. Out of all the remakes this one was by far the best as it gave all the old feeling's from when I first played it not alot was changed from the original and it's not that easy to finish it on the hardest difficulty.

I'm curious as to what everyone feels about these types of games. The past few releases, Diablo 2, Re 2 and 3, FF7, and WoW, have been really hit or miss. I feel that both the RE 2 and 3 remakes are perfect examples of taking good games and vastly improving not just the visuals, but the gameplay as well. Gone are the "tank" controls and with it, a fluid, 3rd person controls that closely resembled RE 4s perspective. While I still think the RE 3 remake should have been DLC for RE 2, they were none the less a true remake. FF7 is 50/50 IMO. While the visuals, updated voice cast and music, and to an extent, the gameplay that switched from the tired and true turn based RPG style for a more action rpg system is ok, The lack of the rest of the game was a huge letdown. It was enjoyable, but not worth the price considering the overall package. Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3 are examples of how NOT to do them. With Diablo 3, Blizzard vastly improved the top down, isometric action rpg gameplay and style so much so that most other game released in that style are almost carbon copies of them. If they had released this "resurrected" remake with the diablo 3 gameplay style, I feel it would've been a much better product overall. Granted, I'm sure there are some that loved the original style of said game, but as i said, the formula has been so improved that going back to this feels archaic. We won't talk about the hot garbage that was warcraft 3. What are your thoughts on this, folks?

I also love mohg a whole lot his lore and ost are great basically showing us what path morgott would've led if he never chose to protect the erdtree selflessly. and in the souls franchise the only few duo ganks that I enjoyed were ornstein and smough,Friede and ariandel and the demon princess the godskin people on their own are solid fights I remember how shitless scared when I saw staypuff do the Roly poly on me I will however hold margit as the best "first boss" that we have had in a souls game but honestly the title of "first boss" will have to go to the tree sentinel aka the lorax😂 I never had trouble with Niall in the beginning but as I've done more playthroughs the tougher the fucker is now to the point where his fucking peg leg will one shot me even with the insane range it has like Jesus christ I know you wanna copy the nameless kings stomp but damn that shit hurts and with regards to melania I can only hope to wish for you to hold a Bible,quraan and bhagavad gita close to your heart while you do that... unless you use a bleed build then just a Bible is required at least from my point of view as a motherfucker with duel greatswords😂

Blimey, you're way more optimistic about it than me🤣

If its free to play I'll give it a go but I have zero hope it will be any good.

Are they trying to do the reverse psycology job on us by doing an even worse job on a F2P game so we go back to wanting the annual releases? Cos its working 😅

Love it dude 😂 Good work again, i'm happy to try to help keep track of any stats on a Monday night if i can 🙂

I'll set up a night and we can have a chat about it. From memory we have a few with the game now. Maybe next Saturday? I can do any night except Tuesday. @GazzaGarratt @Plumbers Crack @Diddums @Bluebear @BO7H B4RRELS @Misneach_ @TurboR56Mini @phil bottle @tronic44 Maybe Carl can convince @RenFenggeto try it out🤗 I'll also be strong arming @Greboth into getting the game. By strong arming, I of course mean withholding sexual favours.
