Analog Addiction. "Throw back Thursday, 8-bit arcade bar’s, and constant rebooted remakes of a remade film. A not-so-new trend is growing in our lifetime. While some argue that trend is due to a lack of new writers or people wanting to live in the past, I think it is more likely that Hollywood and big software publishers are trying to make safer plays with their investment money. “It worked in the past, it should work again.” Regardless of what you believe, the trend of reboots and remastered properties isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
But is that bad?
Here at Analog Addiction, we love us some video games. Be they old, new, or forthcoming; we can’t wait to get our hands on them. In our latest AA RoundTable the crew and I discuss what video games we would want continued, rebooted, or remastered for our current consoles."
Both Rare classics will feature widescreen and twin-stick support.
Surprised to see so little activity when it comes to evercade news... its been a great retro platform. I know its emulation, but they still believe in physical media. I'm hoping they will do something special with the Doom release later this year.
Rare's 3D platformer, Banjo-Kazooie has been fully decompiled, and a native PC port with dual analog controls is now available.
The Legend of Dragoon is held in very high regard by Sony stalwarts, a JRPG developed in-house for the original PlayStation. While it never achieved the same success as other games of that era, it's retained a cult status, and you still see calls from fans today for Sony to return to the land of Endiness. Now, fans can say that Mark Cerny, lead system architect for the PS4 and PS5, ranks among their number.
There's definitely parts of it that haven't aged well, for sure. It would be interesting to see how a remake could fix the things that need it while somehow maintaining the game's charm.
i think the combat could definitely be almost like expedition 33, with the precision input thing.
My thoughts exactly. It's been a long-ass time since I've played it, but I remember there being weirdness with the plot regarding a female character. I'm on the fence about whether I'd want an FF7 Remake-style approach, or just a warts-and-all approach of it being the same exact game with 21st century graphics and presentation.
Even with regards to the goofy voice acting lol!
Part of me wants that FF7R style treatment.
A fantastic JRPG that should return. I wish Sony would just remake this already. I mean Bluepoint Studios makes fantastic remakes... there you go Sony.
They do…and as soon as Sony bought them they decided to waste their talents on a GaaS title for 5 years before cancelling it.
Such a shame
We could have had at least a remake from them with the next one close to being teased
Jrpg age well it’s not like replaying driver.
And its flaws like to much random encounter and slow combat can easily be fixed
It's still one of those hidden gem JRPG's I love the game. I wish Sony would do something with the title whether an HD remaster or give it the remake treatment like Square did with FF7. I also wish Sony would do something with the Wild Arms franchise and another JRPG franchise I love as well.
Story and charecters were good, cinematics were top notch and gameplay was fun for its time but world and exploration left much to be desired especially after playing games that came out before it like FF and Xenogears . It's a shame we never got another in-house made Sony rpg , kinda surprised they never tried to acquire Level-5 for all they rpgs they've made for them
I want Banjo remaster too. Nowdays we need 3D platform games like this one.
