Dear Videogame producers, developers, creators, distributors, publishers, designers and players *checks off list on fingers to make sure I got them all*. If I NEVER see any of the "buzz words" used to Re-sell the same game to me with Re-newed graphics or Re-solution increase, it will be too soon.
Come on people, I bought *insert Re-done game here* last year and now all of a sudden (just because a new generation of systems came out) you Re-decide to push out the same game, Re-imagined and expect me to Re-buy it? How Re-dumb do I look? (I wanted to use another Re-word but changed it to Re-dumb so as not to offend any of my demographic *dodges the bullet*) I can't believe you think that I'm going to fork out another $40 - $60 for the same game Re-wrapped in shiny new visuals. I won't be fooled by your added Hardcore Mode or your Alternate Ending. The Re-purposed soundtrack and Re-arranged events are not enough to persuade me to Re-purchase. Sorry!
Now I know it is VERY difficult to come up with original material in this day and age. "There's nothing NEW under the sun"... Agreed. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try, it's better than Re-gression. Isn't it? Give it a go and see what happens. You never know, if you throw enough ideas around one of them is sure to Re-bound. I also understand that making a sequel or prequel is not necessarily the option for you. Maybe you don't have the material or the budget but it works and would be better at gaining my Re-mittance than giving me "Game I just got all the trophies/achievements for after a year of Re-trying HD."
"TAG... why you be hating on Re-Games bruh?! Many games have been ported (ported = converted to a different system for e.g. Final Fantasy Type - 0 HD is ported to PS4 and XB1 from the PS Vita) and we're uber happy about it. Do you know how long I we wanted to play that game?"
-_- That's beside the point. There are many ported games out there that I would love to play too. That isn't my issue here. My issue is making a game, then Re-making the SAME game at "1080p/60 FPS" or with "the never before seen missions/ending" and the most hated "including all the DLC stuff we sold separately before now!" (I'm still not sure if GOTY [Game Of The Year] editions fit into the Re-game category... so I'm not going to comment on them too much, at this present juncture) Yes the new systems have way better video/audio outputs and it would be nice to see a older game in HD but do you have to? Doesn't it kind of ruin the nostalgia and the Re-miniscence of the old game? (I use the terms "older" and "old" loosely here) Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it!
Of course, ALL of this, Re-wrapping and Re-selling, stems from the "how can we get more money out of them" school of thought that many, if not all, persons in the game industry have adopted. On that note, I'm going to just leave this (photo) here!
RI-DICULOUS!!!
(P.S I want to leave with a clear conscience so I must make it known that Fanboy me is DEFINITELY going to buy Final Fantasy VII Re-make and Final Fantasy Type -0 HD and there's NOTHING Cynic me can do about it. Until that time, 15 Year Old me and Fanboy me are working on convincing Cynic me because we really really want to play Final Fantasy VII since we didn't get to all those years ago.)
