Why do I see people clamoring for remakes of everything nowadays? Everytime a classic game is brought up people literally beg for remakes. And this was after Dq3 hd2d electric boogaloo came out proving they'd censor shit like Ayla and it would look inferior to full sprites. Is it zoomers or millenials? Do people not know how to emulate?! I dont fucking get it. You're using a computer its FREE ITS FREE BITCH ITS RIGHT FUCKING THERE AHHHHH

Truth. Heston's Ben-Hur in the 1959 was the third of 5 hollywood remakes.

You obviously don't leave your basement much. PC is dying and each day people are more and more tech-illiterate. 60+ people never knew how to use current technology in general and 25- people never had an actual computer, only cell phones.

Arguably, pop culture is just an evolution of idolatry worship, to the point it's barely the same thing.

Who's clamouring? The remakes get shat out and marketed online by shills, but you don't, for example, hear a years-long clamour for a remake and then finally the studio grudgingly agrees. You just sound like you can't tell the difference between the pulse and the shills, OP.

Because "old good, new bad" when it comes to quality of videogame itself (don't ask me) but also "old is too hard / ughh too problematic / had outdated graphics, make it easier / censor it / add modern graphics" (again, don't ask me why people think like that).
Corpos know about this, so instead of risking with making a completely new title (especially if it's AAA budget title) they slap together a remaster or remake (quality varies based on budget and dev team), slap $40~70 price tag on it and make free money off idiots.
>Everytime a classic game is brought up people literally beg for remakes
Again, it's kinda like modern gamers like to claim that modern games are better than old ones, but at the same time they keep hearing about all those awesome old games off social media (TikTok, Youtube, X, Discord, etc.) and they don't wanna 180 their opinion about old vs bad, so they keep begging for remakes and remaster so that they can get the game AND still claim that new games are better than old ones.
In reality, the only games that require remakes are the ones that had some serious flaws in the original version. Something like Odin Sphere comes to mind - awful framerate when too much stuff is hapening on the screen (Odette's spider form even freezing the PS2 in some cases), pretty wonky combat system, too much menuing when it comes to alchemy system, not enough differences between FIVE playthroughs to justify them, and so on. Skip many years to Leifthrasir remake that pretty much fixed most of issues original version had AND still included original version of the game in remake in case someone really wanted to experience the jank of PS2 Odin Sphere.
Sadly, too many devs these days remake games not for the sake of actual improvement, but for the sake of trivial changes (often for the worse) and slapping modern price tag on the game to make free money.

Video games are not art.
As technology improves video games can improve and revise. They're games 1st.
They remade Castlevania
They remade Mario 3
Nothing is untouchable

>Why do I see people clamoring for remakes of everything nowadays?
The simple answer is that the common person has poor taste, and "thinking men" generally don't clamor over high budget slop games. I'm far more content with playing old games as they were, and generally think things would be nicer if companies greenlit more original IPs. But that's never gonna happen, because that's not what prints money.
That said, some remakes are cool, since some teams are blessed with talented people and a forgiving IP holder. It just depends how it turns out, not all remakes are terribad but most will be. And it'll all still sell and atleast return the production costs.

Video games are toys, not art. Get over yourself.

NGL I'd love a full AAA remake of Chrono Trigger with FighterZ-tier visual fidelity to animated Toriyama.

It's not as if JRPGs have any other appeal than the visuals and music complimenting a nice story anyway
>>
>>11393359
Consumers and publishers treating them like toys is why the video game market is like it is, yes. Very astute, anon.
>>
>>11393359
Okay manbaby
>>
>>11393172
it's westoid fault
they are the only ones incapable of emulating/pirating old games that's why they need remakes so they can play them on Steam or on their modern consoles

If you're actually encountering this, it's because you spend way too much time hanging around losers.

I noticed everytime Xenogears is mentioned anywhere I go except 4chan its filled with people begging for a remake. I'm not going to make a comment compilation but its all over the official square music youtube. In almost every video for it. A lot of people actually thought this was leading up to a remake too lol.

Even Ebert acknowledged that he made that statement hastefully, and admitting that he knew nothing about video games.

Consumers and publishers don't treat them like toys anymore, retard. They used to back in the golden age of gaming. Nowadays they treat it like an art form, so we get "cinematic experience" slop.

Oh I'd much rather that companies just not go after emulation sites.

What did they censor?
>>
>>11393172

It doesn't matter which. Each is worse than the other
>Do people not know how to emulate?!
Sadly that's the case for some of the above. For everyone else, it's standards.
>I dont fucking get it.
It being what? A job?

>>11393986
All the difficulty. It gives you stat-booster seeds like candy and gives counterpart skills to all the non-magic users, restores all your HP and MP on every level-up, and lets you restart any lost battle with no halving of your money.

And also something about making the Warrior wear more clothes, but that's been around for a while now.

>>11393535
Xenosaga was essentially going to be that remake though with a completely different story. There was no way they could fit a game like xenogears on the PS2 so they planned six games to really go all in the grand story they intended to tell. And they had to axe the whole project because it wasn’t selling. The same shit will happen to any large RPG from the PlayStation era.
And I hear the same shit about FF9. Nobody cared enough about the original version, what is the remake going to be other than a huge pain in the ass?
>>
>>11393986
they removed the semi-perfectcell shoop da woop lips on the boss troll and specifically just him
>>
>>11393364
Lol you're not getting Chrono Fighter, that's a huge budget sink.
>>
New franchises are a big risk and most fail and are called derivative in some way.
Video games cost a lot of money now and going with an established IP is usually a safe bet to make a profit, but maybe not the most profit. I think companies sometimes use remakes as a project for their newer/younger teams to teach and filter for good workers.
>>
>>11393535
The game was essentially only half finished, the second disc was mostly a movie.

>>11396213
Xenosaga was kind of boring compared to Xenogears sadly.
>>
>>11393683
Yeah. They treat it like the toy version of movies, and not the artform side of it. aka, "cinematic slop" like the Avengers.
Very astute, anon.
