@matrix@gameliberty.club Valve just proved with Half Life 1 that all you have to do is just add requested features, updates, bugfixes and modern resolution support to your old game and the people will love it.

While all these remakes listed here are basically universally hated.

@matrix@gameliberty.club Imagine the memes if Valve decided to update Half Life: Source instead of the original game.

@matrix@gameliberty.club Half Life: Source will never be good because it loses that gives the original its unique vibe, the goldsrc engine.

@SuperDicq @matrix i still like it because of nostalgia and silly ragdolls, it's also partly cuz freeman's mind was recorded in half life source

@lina@eientei.org @matrix@gameliberty.club Yeah true, I also realy like "HL VR but the AI is self-aware" which is technically recorded on Garry's Mod using Half Life Source maps.

@SuperDicq @matrix i hate that one personally, too overrated for what is essentially friends fucking around in gmod
@SuperDicq @matrix i wouldnt call wc3 and half life 1 remakes.

wc3 reforged is a bad remaster

half life 1 just got a free dlc with new features.
@matrix wasn't it that Goldeneye 007 for PS3 and X360 never came out?
@matrix wait no, I was thinking of a different goldeneye I think

@RafiX yep, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded is a port of the modern Wii game

@matrix Remakes should only be done for fundamentally flawed games tbh
@matrix NieR ver.1.(forget it I won't look that up) was a pretty decent remake, since most of the dialog was then voiced, with new graphics and better controlls and with the End that never made it to the west.
