    I’m of a firm opinion that no game needs a remake. Fixing up old games so that they can be played on modern systems - yes please. Remaking the same game but “”“better”“” - no thanks, I’d rather see something original and new come out

    There are some exceptions like Pathologic 2 which is basically a remake but also a reimagining, but those are exceedingly rare.

      I’ll disagree a bit. Angel of Darkness should definitely have been a Remake.

      They must have put so much effort in to get that just as crappy as the original.

        New Vegas needs it to.

        I love the fuck out of the game, but its heavily handicapped by its need to fit within console limitations at the time of its release… Not only that, its just full of jank.

        A remaster is not capable of addressing the core issues that need addressing with New Vegas, especially with no source code.

        A remake is the only way to get a solid, amazing update to New Vegas that will endure for another 16+ years.
