  I hope they will modernize the controls and camera.

    In a way, the tank controls were part of the challenge.

    Hopefully they give you the option to use classic or modern controls.

      Yeah, would spend ages as a kid lining up for a jump, only to end up jumping off to the left into a pit of wolves. Good times.

    *and make it optional. Like REmake

  Can we just… not get remasters and remakes anymore? I’d rather just have the OG games re-released digitally as-is, and let AAA companies explore new IPs or allow them to be creative in the universe of already-existing IPs.

    AAA companies aren’t making these remasters, they are typically handled by small studios that specialize in exactly this kind of work.

    Most of the work of re-releasing these old games is porting the old code to new platforms. Making them run at higher resolutions and frame rates is usually not all that much effort in comparison, so you might as well do it.

    Frankly it’s kind of weird to complain about the existence of a product nobody is forcing you to buy.

      Exactly, this game I believe is being done by Aspyr. While KOTOR was a remake obviously, it was the last time they tried to do a big game and it apparently was a disaster.

    People don’t buy games as-is. They need at least some modern conveniences to be palettable. And frankly this is about as close to what you are asking as is reasonable.

    I'd like to have HD versions of a number of older 2D games that I enjoy re-released.

    Honestly, I'd like to have HD versions of some newer games that were originally done with low-resolution graphics, like Binding of Isaac and Caves of Qud. Nothing wrong with low-resolution graphics -- I think that it enables shifting resources to developing gameplay, and that that's often a good tradeoff -- but those games did well, and I'd be willing to pay for flashier graphics.

    If you look at Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, it's gone from ASCII to graphics to significantly-prettier tilesets. Dwarf Fortress did something similar.

    I appreciate that not everyone wants that, but I would.

  Wasn’t Tomb Raider Anniversary a remake of TR1?

  Anyways if good and the price is right sure.

    Remake != remaster

    Yeah, but it was shit.

  I’m usually one to say games are fine as is and don’t need a remaster… but these show their age

  No last revelation? D:

  If they really stick to the source and just update it, it could be great.

    So you mean actually remaster instead of remake?
