Classic games never seem to die off as developers and publishers continue to bring them back with every console generation. Whether it's a shiny high-definition remaster, a reboot to the series or remade from the ground up - there are major differences between the three. But, what exactly are they?
A credible insider claims an Assassin’s Creed 1 remake has been in development at Ubisoft for quite a few years.
Hope so. I believe this game deserves it the most and will definitely need a lot to overhaul compared to black flag. It's really hard for me to play this game again lol
The most repetitive and boring ass game I have ever played. I wont get it even for free.. I had nightmares of this game it was utter garbage.
Out of curiosity how old are you ? 2007 was a great year for gaming, and it was one of the most impressive and enjoyable games of that year, probably in the top 10 of most people.
@Aloren Assassin's Creed 1 at that time was a good looking game and in unique settings the game also hinted at an serious story but game play wise it was a short game with boring missions and basically no side activities beside flag collecting so ironically many back then played the game for story.
But the game didn’t aged as good as other heavy hitters from 2007 like bioshock, crysis, half life and etc.
If any Assassin's Creed game needs a remake its the first one. I just think the original didnt age as well as the others and could use improvements
This was one of my most hyped games back in the day only to be let down so damn bad. AC2 made up for it but yes, this is one game that doesn't just deserve a remake, it needs to be stripped down to the bare parts and completely rebuilt from the ground up because it's problems were basic and fundamental and if those things aren't fixed, no fresh coat of paint is going to fix it.
Good. They should remake all the Altair games. Him and Ezio are very well written and executed.
We've lost the argument in favour of games being art at this point. Maybe a remaster, some touch ups, fixes, a rerelease for modern consoles, bringing attention to the game that started it all, some appreciation. Nah just another remake. I've said this about AC4 and I'll say it for this too. Why not just go back to Altair's era and make a new game centered around him or the changes he made to the order after the events of the first game with a new protag?
Finally. Bring back Desmond and finish his story. 🤦🏾 Yall fcked up massively killing him and that future story.
Nostalgia sells, and many people would get behind these games making a comeback with improved controls, new art styles, better voice acting, and more.
I'm actually gutted they started the remakes with MGS3 but I'm in the minority that places it last out of the first four games. MGSV doesn't exist to me. Absolute car crash of a MGS game that was.
MGSV was better than most other games of its generation on PS4, and it still had the Kojima effect that we love MGS for
Astro bot gives me ape escape vibes, I reckon there is someone in that team that worked on ape escape, being the Japanese team an’all
I can't believe Banjo-Kazooie has never got one, especially with the great designs found in Smash Bros.
I feel like it's a release MS could benefit from with Nintendo consoles aswell.
is it really that surprising?
but yeh, i thought the same thing when i re-played them again just a couple of months ago.
Agree given the second thing rare did for ms was remake conquer or the first thing if you consider grabbed by the goulies started life as a GameCube game (I read somewhere it may have also been targeting N64 originally but doesn't sound realistic)
give me a Koudelka, shadow hearts remake. especially Koudelka.
and maybe Haunting Groumd. that game was overlooked asf
Fallout 4 New Vegas is trying to remake the game but plenty of other volunteer places have given up, and Bethesda isn't helping things by not announcing a remake.
Probably because they don't want to acknowledge Obsidian made a Fallout game that feels a bit more Fallout like.
If Obsidian had a better budget and a full development cycle without being rushed this game could have been bigger and even better than it was.
Still wondering what's going to happen now that they're under the same roof.
Smart thing would be to let Obsidian do a remake or other Fallout location, only with money behind it.
Worst thing likely to happen is Bethesda gets their noses rubbed in a better project, and put more effort into their projects as result.
Well apparently Bethesda said they want to make Fallout games, not anyone else. No idea if that’s true but if it is then it’s kind of dickish as it means we won’t get a Fallout game until after Elder Scrolla VI which could be like 2030ish
If Obsidian were allowed then it means they could get one out quicker. They don’t have to make a main numbered game but either a spin off like New Vegas or maybe do a remake of the first Fallout in the new style.
Personally I just don’t see why Microsoft greenlit Outer Worlds 2 when Bethesda were doing Starfield, a space exploration RPG, obviously they are different styles / tones but you may aswell had Obsidian do something different.
Nothing. The Obsidian that made New Vegas isn't the same Obsidian today. That team is gone. Hence why Outer Worlds was a very unmemorable game.
They're both Xbox studios, shouldn't be a problem. Just say 'we made this' like every 'accomplished' online content creator.
Internal company competition and politics exist sir. Surely you must see it even on n4gs staff....
He'll I'd really like to see them finally show some love to the orginals. Can't even get those on gamepass. Plenty of similar type games have been made for consoles so it can be done. People would go nuts for them. They did the og wasteland(well not bethesada) but just as an example. Bethesada treats the og fallout as bastsrd stepchildren. Why
Bethesda are generally mass-market only, I don't think they'd bother allocating even a small team to do it.
I also believe they'd screw it up somehow.
Also... Personally speaking I don't think I'd like a Fallout 1/2 remake. Weirdly I find the visuals a very important part of the way it feels for those isometric games. Again, I think Bethesda would screw this up and ruin the aesthetic of the original games.
Because of the game engine. Obsidian's Fallout "needs" to be done on the Creation Engine or else it won't have the same charm as New Vegas. An UnrealEngine based one will feel more like Outer Worlds due the lack of scripting that Creation Engine boast.
Now, the latest Fallout build is of the 76, which looks quite dated and is not fit for a future release.
On the other hand, the latest Creation Engine build is of Starfield, which will require quite a lot of re-work from Bethesda themselves after which Obsidian can work on.(And Bethesda teams are likely busy with Starfield fixes, DLCs and Elder Scrolls 6.) This was not the case case during New Vegas, where Fallout 3 build was readily available and Obsidian iterated over it to their liking and design.
If by “charm” you mean immersion breaking jank, then I suppose you’re right.
We need to stop apologizing for Bethesda’s poor quality control. It was barely excusable when Fallout 3 came out and it’s down right pathetic now.
Let Obsidian make a Fallout game with a modern engine. It will be a better product than anything running on Bethesda's engine.
If you’re worried about Unreal 5 not being able to remember where you drop every little piece of worthless garbage the game makes you collect, don’t. It can handle that type of game design.
I want Bethesda's IPs to move to UE ... but they won't/can't coz of their script architecture ... (and it'll be a huge transition for them, hence they still haven't done it, in spite of UE existing for over 23+ years)
ES6 is defo Creation Engine based ... and since Bethesda themselves are not transitioning anytime soon, I doubt they'll allow Obsidian to create a game based on their IP using anything but creation engine. ( but hope I am wrong )
So best shot currently is:
1) Bethesda helps Obsidian in modifying the Starfield engine in order to develop a New Vegas style Fallout game before Fallout 5 (or ES6 even)
2) As well delay Outer Worlds 2 development coz after Avowed, Obsidian can't work on OW2 and then Fallout NV2/Remake. Because that'd be at least 2028+. By that time ES6 would've released or the release would be looming and Bethesda's own internal teams would be starting the initial Fallout 5 design (as per Howard's intention). The Starfield engine'd be old as well and Bethesda won't allow a Fallout release in that close proximity.
...
But I do hope Bethesda transition to UE5 for Fallout 5. Highly unlikely though.
Are you serious? Nobody’s that stupid to not know the differences
Reboot: A from-the-ground up revision of an IP or origin game. (Tomb Raider, Resident Evil 2)
Remake: A recreation of a game with a new engine, assets and controls in order to modernize a title. (Ratchet & Clank, SoTC)
Remaster: A polish of visual and other superficial design in order to enhance the original game for current resolution and audio. (Halo Anniversary, Resident Evil HD)
There's quite a bit of difference in them. Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen for PS4 and Xbox One is a remaster. Shadow of the Colossus that hit PS4 at the start of the year is a remake. As is Yakuza Kwami I&II. A reboot is a complete reset or overhaul of a game. God of War is a kind of reboot maybe soft reboot.
Really. Is this really an article?
Hasn’t this question been asked and answered multiple times already?
