Remakes of older games

[VaeVictis]

Man I loved Oddworld Stranger's Wrath! Such a fun game. Nice to see a remake of it ^^
Nah, I don't mind remakes. With new tech you can update your games to keep them alive for new audiences as well as keep them enjoyable for the fans. Just because a game is old doesn't mean it's bad, so why not give it a nice polish? Like Halo Anniversary, a perfect remake of one of my favourite games of all time.
I've noticed with a lot of old games that I remember loving and being all nostalgic about that when I go back to play the game I discover how outdated the gameplay is and that the game just isn't enjoyable anymore due to this. A remake keeps them fresh. That said, remakes should perhaps not get priority over new IP, I think they should be kept as sideprojects unless there's nothing better for the developer to do.

Nice to see another Oddworld fan!
I'm glad to see that other people still remember that game, and also happy to see it getting polished up.
And I agree about developers using them as side projects. If they loved the game, it's cool to be able to share it with a new crowd and give it a fresh face.
Thanks for sharing your opinions, guys.
