I can’t be silent anymore and I don’t understand why others are still silent. Seriously, who like remasters and why they are being made? Let’s still discuss this moment, and try to answer two main questions: for what, and for whom it is done?
I act as a disgruntled client who seemed to be fooling, but they assure me that this is completely different.
How much I heard about the release of new remasters in video games, films.
Diablo II, Mass Effect, Vicecity I don’t even want to go deeper, then how many remasters came out and should go out ..
The same situation with films. If something was popular before, then a remake must appear ..
Indeed, why come up with something new when you can repeat, something old and earn even more on it. Money for the sake of money. Humanity has chosen such a path of development, the path in which Target justifies the product. Where the rich should get rich without creating a new product in society.
But in this activity, there is nothing surprising. I think many people know the phrase “current always follow the path of least resistance” a person chooses the same path, where the minimum of effort will be spent on to achieve the goal.
But there is one inconsistent, you can agree with me, you may not, your right. People, unlike the laws of physics, are mistaken. I believe that humanity was mistaken in choosing such a path of least resistance.
Ask why? What is wrong with the fact that the new generation will be able to find out about the masterpieces of the past will touch the emotions that we once experienced when playing an old Diablo or collecting hidden bags in Weiss City.
And then? Remaster, Remaster? People came up with so many masterpieces, in games, in films and in literature and at the same time no one made remasters on them. Yes, some works can be similar, borrowed, in some places impudently stolen, but moderately original.
Is it really impossible to create something new, let it look like the old, but how else?
Just imagine how much we lost, how much we lost … And how much they could acquire if humanity had thrown its forces to create something new. Whether we saw Cyberpank if, after the witcher 3, CD Projekt Red, we decided to reissue the 1st and 2nd part? Someone may not like Cyberpank, but I’m sure that you will not be cold and not hot if they make the first witcher with new graphics.
I went through the first witcher, I liked it … I went through the second part and I liked it too! But I would not like it if I went through the first witcher and I would be offered to play it again, under the pretext, we will pay the graphics ..
Let’s get back to the question, and then what, after remaster? It doesn’t seem to you that they are slowing us down. The developers spend on them, oddly enough, more effort than the original previously released, why this double work? As a result, we get zero mental activity and colossal physical labor.
What work was done in Diablo II: Resurrected, after all, this should be done again from scratch and there is nothing to forget and not spoil ..
I think there will be consonants with me who say about the same thing, I want to ask you, do we, as consumers of this product, will simply endure and encourage this activity silently? Really, we cannot do nothing to do, what prevents us from expressing a negative opinion on this occasion? Not to encourage this activity or generally treats it indifferently and with the prosecution? Why popular bloggers encourage remasters, for the sake of popularity and money?
If suddenly, Remaster comes out, for some popular game, I am sure that any blogger will begin to make a review on this, expressing his positive and at the same time negative opinion, to appeal immediately to one and others. I’m wrong?
Or maybe such as I am a minority and people are ready to play 1 witcher with new graphics, only because their favorite game came out again.
This blog is about to identify consumer preferences, answer the question of whether you are ready to sacrifice time to play in Remaster?
The best comments
I act as a disgruntled client who seemed to be fooling, but they assure me that this is completely different.
Whose client are you? If you do not buy remasters, you are a client. And you itch about the fact that "companies do not what I want them to do". Well, grandmas at the porches also itch for everything.
People, unlike the laws of physics, are mistaken. I believe that humanity was mistaken in choosing such a path of least resistance.
Gravity was mistaken by choosing this direction of exposure. Well, like, Kamon, no one chose anything. People are people, with the same success you can criticize the presence of two legs instead of four. Like, “Evolution in vain left us two legs, with four would be much more funny!»Maybe it would be, or maybe not. It is not for me and not for you to decide. And the evolution did not "solve" anything.
"Then" for whom? For us players; for a studio that released a remaster or remake; For the publisher who ordered this remaster/remake?
Or maybe such as I am a minority and people are ready to play 1 witcher with new graphics, only because their favorite game came out again?
In my opinion, this is a great occasion to recall your favorite and familiar game and get new emotions from the new visual, for example.
What are the benefits of remasters and remakes for players?
– getting the opportunity to join the old game on new platforms (MGS HD Collection for PS3 and Xbox, remasters Resident Evil 4, which allow you to play anywhere else);
-Often-the only way to launch a game on a modern gland without “hemorrhoids”-the ingenious Homeworld 2 on Win7-10 works badly, Remaster is very good and smooth;
-For fans and fans, this is an opportunity to re-look at the game: Shadow of the Colossus for PS4, Diablo II for PS4-5 and IKSKOKOKOK, Resident Evil 2-3 REMAKE;
– And most importantly – no one forces anyone to buy it. Except for the case with Warcraft 3, I do not remember that the output of the remake/remister blocked the opportunity to play the original game if a particular user wants this.
What are the benefits of remasters and remakes for studios that produce them?
– The most important thing: https://luckukcasino.co.uk/login/ to fill your hand, get the opportunity to hone the skills of intraudent interaction, skills of specific employees and many other working moments, being on a relatively safe territory. When you make a remaster, you have a certain pillow of the popularity of the original game in advance, which will provide at least part of the payback. The production of the new IP requires not only much more investment of forces and creative energy (which is much more stressful, which is not good), but also requires significantly large marketing costs;
– in addition to the past point – to get used to the new platform, concentrating on the features of its work, and not leaving the solution to this issue for the last second, because before that the head was busy with the solution of gameplay/plot/art/millions of any other issues;
-Not always at the stage of production, the game is fine, and a remake-repairer is also a path to making the game the way it was initially conceived (again-Shadow of the Colossus spin in my head);
.
But all of the above does not mean that I categorically support remasters. I am talking about the phenomenon, both such, and remasters and remakes can be both good and bad (and such, unfortunately, is enough), this is already solved each time in private. I am categorically against raging a whole phenomenon into one stench pile.
And, by the way of the “path of the least resistance” – here you are, the author of this opus, because you could not only rush with a stick at the appearance of remakes and remasters, like a cave person at a mammoth, but to study the question, to figure out: “Why, how much they are doing, whether there are so many money, whether they bring so much money?", Analyze it all and then judge. Or at least you could drive the text through Word, so that when reading on each sentence, do not stumble on sudden commercial and other oddities of the author’s style. But you chose the “Light Resistance Path” and just Bogurt in the void, releasing your negative on your readers in relation to remakes and remasters, not trying to be either interesting or constructive.
But I would not like it if I went through the first witcher and I would be offered to play it again, under the pretext, we will pay the graphics ..
Well done, the original version of the game has passed. But it is worth considering that every year there are more and more new players. And, most likely, they will want to get acquainted with the classics, but not all of them want to see the old picture on the monitors. Remasters are largely done for a new audience.
For what, and for whom it is done?
I have the same question for this post.
I am not against remasters, but they must be justified. That is, I do not see the logic in the remaster of the same Alan Wake or some kind of Observer, because the original games look and so rather bad. But at the same time, Remaster is some kind of Starsraft or Diablo 2, it looks more appropriate. After all, we will not deny the obvious, time did not regret the original games.
T.e. Everything has come down to a difference in store policy.
Well, formally – yes, I am for Remaster to occupy a new niche, not the old. But with SS and C D2R there is a unique factor: there is an original and unrestrained graphone – sewn, no one prevents them from using it.
Well, we return to modifications – you put them?
I don’t use mods.
Metro Redux, Darksiders, Titan Quest.
The difference with Warcraft 3 is that the varik was taken from those who bought them. Metro, GTA and the rest cannot be bought, but they have not taken access to games from those who have already bought them (unlike the situation with W3).
Removing old games from the sale (regarding or without a remaster) is an inevitability that is not good and not bad, like gravity – this is simply inevitability. With the same success, one can now swear that a huge number of games that were released until 2010, when Steam and others were not widespread with him, is now corny inaccessible for purchase. Because they did not go out in the “figure”, because they can buy them, but they are not crumpled for new iron and so on
Thank you for at least admitting that D2R is bad
So, but let’s do not decide for me that I “admitted”, but what-no; And thank you for what I did not do – you will not. Remaster Diablo is still good in my eyes, he has problems with the network part, but their solution is mainly the issue of time.
If you put in positive that the old version is still available for purchase, then you understand that something is wrong with the remaster. 😉
I put in the positive freedom of choice and the opportunity to play as you want and where you want, as part of legal restrictions and opportunities.
I don’t know what you don’t like.
I have Diablo II “Orijinal” on my laptop did not want to work normally, t.To. The filling in the laptop is quite new. But I bought a reprint and enjoyed meeting this series of games.
P.S.: Yes, I have never played any of Diablo. Well, what do you want? I am only 20 years old-until some point I did not know about this series at all.
Here the situation is twofold. If the game is relatively new with even good graphics and gameplay, then Remaster, or, moreover, she does not need a remake. And if the game is already graphically, and maybe the gameplay is outdated, then Remaster, or remake, will not interfere with it. After all, this will allow not only the old people to recall their games, but will also enable the new generation of gamers to touch good games in good quality and with good graphics.
I act as a disgruntled client who seemed to be fooling, but they assure me that this is completely different
And what remasters did the "Dissatisfied Client" bought?
The same situation with films. If something was popular before, then a remake must appear … Indeed, why come up with something new, when you can repeat, something old and earn even more on it.
Oh, what is the trouble, someone has already shot something before you. Remove the Star Wars, the Magnificent Seven, 11 friends of Ocean, “For a handful of dollars”, “The bell” – these are all soulless remakes and plagiarism!
Is it really impossible to create something new, let it look like the old, but how else?
Can. But, firstly, to come up with something straight very new is very difficult. And secondly, the new IP is a greater risk and a lot of costs.
Whether we saw Cyberpank if, after the witcher 3, CD Projekt Red, we decided to reissue the 1st and 2nd part?
But I would not like it if I went through the first witcher and I would be offered to play it again, under the pretext, we will pay the graphics ..
Usually on such “if that, if this,” they recall a saying about grandmother, grandfather and lack of genitals ”. Maybe they would see Cyberpank, maybe not – depends on how large the project will be – just pulling graphony and optimization for modern iron or to sting a full remake on the engine of the third part. And then – rays that, hold a bat over you with the inscription "Hey, buy"?
I think there will be consonants with me who say about the same thing, I want to ask you, do we, as consumers of this product, will simply endure and encourage this activity silently? Really, we cannot do nothing to do, what prevents us from expressing a negative opinion on this occasion?
If the remake / remaster is good – you praise it, if you are bad – drown in shit, if mediocre – paint that it is not so with it. Throwing Remaster as a phenomenon in a garbage pile – this is how it is for yourself. Well, always the final vote is the ruble voting.
Answer the question of whether you are ready to sacrifice time to play in Remaster?
Play in Remaster Resident Evil 2 on a PC or in the original on PS 1 … a very, very difficult and painful choice.
No user modification will allow me to play in D2R on the console
Van, but it seems to me that you are remasters and remakes dumped into one pile, I have nothing against the latter..
– And most importantly – no one forces anyone to buy it. Except for the case with Warcraft 3, I do not remember that the output of the remake/remister blocked the opportunity to play the original game if a particular user wants this.
Since this is the main thing, then we must admit what exactly is forced. Metro Redux, Darksiders, Titan Quest. Such dofiga games – from the latter GTA 3. And it is here that we see a huge minus for users – fashion and user patches, which by this time often surpass remasters, go downhill.
PS Thank you for at least admitting that D2R was bad, because the same Starcraft also removed the first part from the sale, but everyone was satisfied. If you put in positive that the old version is still available for purchase, then you understand that something is wrong with the remaster. 😉
The difference with Warcraft 3 is that the varik was taken from those who bought them. Metro, GTA and the rest cannot be bought, but they have not taken access to games from those who have already bought them (unlike the situation with W3).
T.e. Everything has come down to a difference in store policy. And the fact that Starcraft 1 was also selected and no one complained, you decided to competently lower. =)
So, but let’s do not decide for me that I “admitted”, but what-no; And thank you for what I did not do – you will not. Remaster Diablo is still good in my eyes, he has problems with the network part, but their solution is mainly the issue of time.
Well, we return to modifications – you put them? One plugy will give you an improved version of D2R, only with old graphics. But in such games, you stop paying attention to the graphics after 10 minutes, which is a drop in the sea for a 100+ clock grinding.
I put in the positive freedom of choice and the opportunity to play as you want and where you want, as part of legal restrictions and opportunities.
I say that I do not care about the freedom of choice when Titan Quest Anniversary Edition is an improved version of the original with a ton of bugs and balance sheets. =)
Well, formally – yes, I am for Remaster to occupy a new niche, not the old
And why? Especially in cases when Remaster contains the "old version" (Halo).
about SS and C D2R there is a unique factor: there is an original and unrestrained graphone – it is sewn, no one prevents them from using it.\
As in Varcraft 3. And the difference is that in SCs, in addition to graphics, as in D2R and W3R, they left the network component, and not vice versa. =)
And in vain, because all the advantages listed above are of remaster for players, which is more related to user modifications. =)
No user modification will allow me to play in D2R on the console
Well, as it will not give. In fact, the difference in management from the gamepad. Macros to help. Not the most convenient option, but I would not be so categorical when it comes to gaming PC. 😉
But it is much more important that the game is not sharpened under the consoles, all sorts of meteors, teleports, jumps, explosions of corpses, curses in the end. There are many targeted skills to which of course you can not pay attention and go to other builds, but this will not make a good game from D2R for the console. =)
