You can now remaster one game.

By some divine miracle, you suddenly have all the money and technical help you need to remaster a single game from yesteryear. You have total creative freedom over the project and a publisher will release whatever you end up creating on all current platforms. What game do you choose and what do you do to it? [b][u]Limitations[/u][/b] Remember this is a remaster, not a remake. Yes the definitions overlap somewhat, but this is how I’m defining them: a [b]Remake[/b] is a brand new game that broadly follows the same story and design briefs that the original did, but it’s as if the original game was being pitched now with all the creative freedom that entails (think Tomb Raider: Anniversary or Oddworld: New n Tasty). A [b]Remaster[/b] on the other hand is supposed to be a better version of the original game, and is fundamentally the exact same game in terms of design and story as the original, just updated in various ways to take advantage of modern hardware and other gaming advances (think Halo: Anniversary or Spyro Reignited). The more you change beyond the graphics and controls, the further away from a remaster you get and the closer you get to a remake.

  • Coulda swore I may have responded to this, but either: [b]Tyranny[/b] Loved the game and love the story, and maybe a *slightly* more modern remaster would give me much joy. Perhaps a few new endings, but if that edges on remake, then so be it. I'll be honest, most of the issues with Tyranny just come from the endgame's story feeling rushed. or, a much more obvious one: [b]Fallout: New Vegas[/b] having beat the game 3 or 4 times, notwithstanding multiple abandoned playthroughs, I am still not exactly a superfan of FNV, but if I could imagine the story of FNV with all of it's wonderful RPG features put into a truly modern game with actually good gunplay, I may just die. I imagine FNV would mimic CP2077 as opposed to it's actual modern counterpart, Starfield, as Starfield is -blam!- and it's game design is -blam!- and it's characters are -blam!- and every time I think about it I get more sad. Moving on, the Story of FNV with the high-quality gunplay of CP2077, intricate character animation, and wonderfully realistic graphics seems ideal.
