The video game industry is in the midst of a remake craze, but does every classic game really need one?
Curious about y’alls opinions on this. I like the idea of getting new people to experience an older game by aligning it to modern graphics and accessibility standards. But capitalizing on nostalgia with quick updates to that make it look modern rather than making new games seems like just more of studios trying to squeeze money out of us.
Uhh Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour certainly does need a remake. It takes a lot of work just to get it running correctly and even more if you want online play. Also online play is still shit, very slow and laggy with disconnects. Also, Sid Meier’s Pirates could surely use a remake as well but at least that game still runs fine.
Also also Red Alert 2 Yuri’s Revenge. The first remake was done pretty well and I thought red alert 2 wouldn’t be far behind but there’s still no news about it.
