Nothing makes me feel more out of touch with the "gaming community" than people asking for and celebrating remakes/remasters of games that are perfectly playable.
Am I the only one who's more interested in playing NEW things rather than the same stuff over and over again?
The thing that's more fucked up is remakes ARENT the same thing. The share a title and that's it, they look and play extremely different.
As far as "game preservation", I would absolutely love it if every game was ported to modern consoles so I can stop keeping 12 consoles kicking around. I dont have a problem with games not being unavailable, I have a problem with entirely new games being built using the same title and passed off as such.
feel the same way when people say "theres nothing to play" fuck you, play voodoo vince on xbox or some other weird shit. theres 30+ years of games worth playing
Most people don't take emulation or even the market for earlier consoles into account. Some people don't even take PC ports into account. That said, when a team has a real vision to properly improve on a game, that can be great, as rare as that is. The Ninja Warriors Once Again and Kirby RtDL Deluxe are both strict upgrades for example.
This too. Anybody who says this has way too narrow a scope or cannot find joy in anything for some personal reason. Even in terms of modern releases, you can definitely find good stuff with a bit of searching.
Those kind of people have insane Tired Gamer Syndrome. I understand where they come from but 99% of the time it's the anon absolutely refusing to branch out of his comfort zone and try newer stuff or even just not playing FOTM garbage
>Meet various gamers through my life
>Some seem to be the "genre x guy" like the RTS guy
>Suggest playing games similar to their taste
>Actually only plays a handful of specific games like StarCraft and AoE2
Comfort zone gaming seems kind of boring when it gets this extreme
>Actually only plays a handful of specific games like StarCraft and AoE2
fucking christ, how does one not branch out in their self professed "favorite genre"
How do you get over tired gaming syndrome? Like hell man I got a few hours before and after work but there's something in my soul that compells me to crawl into bed as opposed to doing anything else. Even more than eating and drinking at times
Start exercising regularly, it helps with low energy after a while. Take a short break from games for a while and pursue some other hobbies that aren't shitposting. Reading, writing, art, whatever. Then expand your horizons and play some games out of your comfort zone. Play some games you've literally never heard of, bring back some variety into your life.
That's kinda the thing though. It's more like a lack of motivation. I got a bunch of games to play and emulators working, let alone other hobbies but I'm putting all of it off. I feel like I'm seeking something via social interaction, I think, which is why I'm still able to work and come here but everything else I'd rather not do.
It's not like I'm tired when I go to bed either. I got insomnia, so it's a lot of laying in darkness listening to white noise and there's something inside me that'd still rather do that than red the books I have, work on my models, go to the range, clean the house, hell clean myself, ect.
I can't be fucked but recognize that's extremely unhealthy while also not knowing how to stop this desire
Appreciate the reply tho
Do something else OTHER than working or playing vidya. Try building models or working out, but do SOMETHING else for a while
Most people are incredibly stupid and don't even know of games existing unless somebody else dangles it in front of their face. That and they refuse to try different genres or older games.
>theres 30+ years of games worth playing
that's like telling a netflix drone there's 90+ years of cinema to watch.
That's what Mubi is for
that's my point anon.
it is like telling a netflix drone to get Mubi.
i was about to comment that there are movies from 90 years ago that are worth watching but I get what you mean.
wait am I misunderstanding you? or are you rly good at baiting lol
I meant to say I love old movies and they are worthwhile but expecting a certain type of "modern gamer" to get an emulator and play ff7 is like telling a netflix drone about torrenting criterion movies. it takes 0 effort but peopel still won't do it. eeven though if they actually did they might find that hey old things are actually really enjoyable!
I understood you lol, im just tired and not making too much sense. 91 years ago movies just started getting good, invisible man, king kong, and frankenstein all came out and only 7 years later wizard of oz and gone with the wind would change the world, but somebody who exclusively watches the latest trending show on twittertok will never bother to watch or understand anything like this.
yeah early depression era movies are fucking weird you have the low budgets everything is new because of sound etc also the pre hayes code "sex" movies, weird stuff.
and completely 100% agree with you.
I do like me some swashbucklers from this era but it's not citizen kane.
which is a perfectly valid take. what do you mean?
>Pick a game that looks interesting and try it
>find joy for some personal reason
>just not playing FOTM garbage
I have a feeling much of the remake market isn't seeking out games for the quality of the games themselves but for the 'community'
There is nothing to be gained by playing Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube because nobody will be talking about it, which is why the remake is necessary
After playing the remake, they won't be earnestly interested in the Franchise and go play 5 - not until the 5 remake, when they can talk about something popular again
you are so right, they want an economic solar system they can control. youtubers who exclusively make videos on the franchise, cosplayers, merch, memes, they want a culture not a product. my hobby is dead
I spent a ton of time with dosbox and abandonware in my teens when I had no money. It was fun, really it was. But I really do think it's hard to get into the mindset for many older games.
I have largely stopped looking too far back these days
This
fuck consumers, always thinking about the latest releases
There are a shit ton of great indie games coming out constantly, too. If I was restricted to AAA games then yeah I'd want to kill myself but that's like saying there isn't any good music being made when all you're willing to do is listen to what gets played on the radio.
just play indie games theres so many still on my backlog and those are the games that usually stick with me
got me a ps5 and played all exclusives and they were pretty much all forgetable besides good graphics
later got me omori for 30 bucks and its the best game i played on that system lol
I just want developers to PORT THEIR SHIT to modern consoles or PC and it feels like it never fucking happens anymore. All we get now are unnecessary remakes while the original game is trapped on a platform that I don't want to waste money on.
And they wonder why emulation and piracy run rampant
this image makes me uncomfortable. i know its the peaches guy, but what is it mocking / imitating?
saturn devouring his son
sorry i posted a cheap imitation. heres the original. the story of it rocks, Francisco Goya was a spanish painter in the 1800's and he painted this and 13 other hauting paintings on the walls of his fucking house. the 14 paintings are known as the black paintings. He was venting his frustration of the peninsula war. I recommend looking up the rest.
I believe he was also very sick at the time when painting them
this masterpiece
jesus fucking christ zoomers
>knowing obscure meme references
>not knowing famous paintings
We are fucked
Ganker is rife with obscure in jokes and references since forever
>battle passes
Not once have I ever thought to myself, I want to pay an additional fee on top of the game I bought for the opportunity to grind shit
How does this even work? Like what kind of retard buys it?
Dude, the other day I realized that Diablo 4 is launching for 70 bucks and includes a battle pass and cosmetic store from day 1. It's downright depressing to me that people are fine with this.
diablo was always cookie clicker garbadge and blizzard fans deserve to have their money suckered out down to the last penny
I might agree with you if it had ever been proven that the industry could create anything new that was worthwhile.
Fuck's sake. Name one good IP that's come out in the past five years that isn't some kind of spiritual successor. Something innovative and fun.
Or you could by the $100 Collector's Edition that DOESN'T COME WITH THE GAME.
you get suckered in via fomo
my friend is addicted to that shit
he will play nothing but fortnite and DbD
to get the battlepasses both to full level
Sometimes it's great to get a remaster or re release of a game. There's shit like MGS4 that is trapped on its platform and will probably never get made again.
Remakes are shit though we don't need them unless they're just an objective improvement like fixing Odin Sphere's clunkier systems. Unfortunately usually what happens is they try to fix a game that didn't need fixing.
Eh, let them have it.
Back in the ps3 era, remakes where awesome. You got 3 to 5 games for the price pf one. Now you get 1 for the price of 1.2 games.
But I also cant get angry with them.
I'm fine with playing the older games, and in cases like dead space, the originals can be had for 1/10th of the price.
yeah I don't get it either
the worst thing is they're often games from gen 6 which are easily the ones that have aged the best, if they were games remade from the early days of 3D like the first tomb raider or megaman legends or some shit I could understand but what's the point of remaking silent hill 2
I already do not give a fuck about 99.9% of the garbage that gets released and only play older titles, might as well have fun with the one reimagination of the game that I like that looks good.
RE4 remake looks good to me, and better than the original, im having fun, keep seething fag, at least i can enjoy new things while you keep playing the same shit lmao
I'm with you OP
We have to remind ourselves that Ganker is a nexus of trolling, shitposting, and retards banned from all other websites.
I bet you more than half of the posts are just two posters trading banter.
>and retards banned from all other websites.
go back to discord normalgay
What? You really don't think they're here? It seems obvious to me. Acknowledging that fact doesn't mean I'm one of em.
No, no, no, Ganker is incorruptible vanguard of the TRUE internet,, invaders have never come here!!
No one gives a fucking shit about whether or not you feel in touch with anything. What kind of pussy ass millennial bullshit thread is this
Nobody gives a shit about your feelings being hurt by a thread either.
You read the post, internalized it and felt compelled to reply. You obviously give a shit.
>celebrating remakes/remasters of games that are perfectly playable.
Notice that the fags who do this are tendies, paid denuvoshills and shitposters. They all have something in common
Yes, because it's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt the same rehashed ideas with different coats of paint are what tops the sales charts. There is no room anymore for new ideas because new ideas tend to not sell well and are never seen again.
Problem is that people is still stuck on the "good days" when remakes were good ans improved upon the original product.
But that usually doesn't happens now because the hobby went super mainstream and garden gnomes have to milk the shit out of normalfags who care nothing about practices used on the industry resulting in an overall downgrading of said hobby.
They realized they diversity hire Tumblrinas and Tyrones can’t write for shit, so they have to recycle old game plots made by straight white/asian males because only they had enough IQ points to write something enjoyable.
>Devs remaster a 2-3 year old game
>Somehow looks and runs worse than the original
>Sleeping Dogs
There's no money in making a small patch to fix a 10-15 year old game on PC.
That's why Fallout 4 is a broken piece of shit on PC.
yeah
the fact that resident evil 4 and last of us get remakes is laughable
i get remaking like resident evil 1 or final fantasy 7. but seeing people ask for remakes of things like final fantasy x, resident evil 5, or anything on the 360/ps3/wii generation is just bonkers.
FFX already got a remake.
hd remaster.
some people want an outright remake. not as many as other games but they exist
They are invaders. They cheer and celebrate because they finally have an excuse to get into a thing they missed out on (because they wouldn't be caught dead playing old games). They cannot stand the idea that there is something with a sizable audience that they are not a part of, so either it must be destroyed or it must be re-released for "modern audiences" so they can be "in" again.
>all the 'cool people' need to go away! if the cool people enjoy my hobby, that means its cool and i cant enjoy cool things because im uncool, i learned this when i was bullied in middleschool and never got over it!
also isn't it the millenials that got bullied back in the day like nerdy ouctast types that became commie trannies that make this type of filth.
what are the old game devs doing anyways?
Yeah wish they'd make new games instead of just re-releasing old ones but it's safer economically to take a known product and put a spin on it
It could also be a move to re-release in order to create an even larger audience for when a sequel comes out.
I just found out Xanadu Next exists, it's a nice rpg with light diablo like looting, always surprised when I find these games after years of googling about rpgs and it was never once mentioned
you're in for a good time, and even more in the EX Dungeon
I really need to try more Xanadu games if they're like that one
i still think that sorcerian is the coolest fucking name for a mage
>we're remastering a classic!
>"remaster" is a shoddy AI upscale or introduces new issues that make the game worse off than the original in certain aspects
>this warrants charging full price
Some companies like M2 do a good job but they're the exception, not the rule. Fatlus deserves a dishonourable mention here.
playing HL1 with raytracing is gaming perfection, too bad most devs and writers lack any talent or have any pride (other than eating ass) in anything they do to this world..
Yeah, I feel the same way OP, anyone who is remotely interested in remakes is cattle and deserves a hammer to the brain.
what was the last 'new' game you played?
Remakes are brand new games.
>i watched a dumb youtube video
