One look at the price for Earthbound on SNES says you are wrong.

Or any random Neogeo game. Or Radiant Silvergun that has been released on XBL ages ago. It doesn't matter at all.

Please no. They messed up the last one and no doubt will cock this one up too

Yeah, it was a bit of a disappointment. Nothing meaningful was added, colors were over saturated, gameplay introduced some lag. I still think that the first stage is a very poor representation of the original.

Really weird seeing sega let fans mess up their franchises but never did anything more sonic mania.
Why are you calling for your mom?

I don't know but they have to make a better job than for the first game.

Am I the only one who enjoyed the first remaster? I don't understand what people's beef with it was.

I liked it too, for what it's worth.

They did improve it over time with updates. Especially if you were a huge fan of the original and expected it to feel like it originally controlled. I didn't mind it at launch, but it did get better over time.

Graphically? The original game had a very drab atmosphere meant to empathize how bleak the setting was, something reinforced in the game's narrative and sorrowful sounding music.
The remake swapped this out for typical "HD remake" high color contrasts and bloom/lighting effects which arguably makes the game lose it's visual identity; the game now looks as bright and colorful as, say, a typical Sonic, which feels like it's utterly missing the appeal. (The remixed music also has this problem but at least the original soundtrack is available there.)
It also took several patches to be feature-complete and fix issues with some controls and mechanics, which isn't exactly good for the fans who bought on day 1.

Damn, I thought we finally had some news.
Newer games always need to have some hook to keep you playing for hours and hours on end and making people have hot takes on twitch and twitter, apparently.
Still hoping this eventually comes out. Zwei was my favorite of the series.
I had a great time with it too. It didn't look like what people wanted it to look like I guess, but I just enjoyed getting to play the game again on a modern platform. Sadly, it's a level based rail shooter so there wasn't really much to discuss when it released. The people that wanted it bought it and beat it, that's it.

I hope it won't. I don't want to see this masterpiece butchered like the first one.

I'd prefer another developer.
The over use of colour on the remake of the original was disgusting.
Sega is about blue skies, but Panzer Dragoon is supposed to be bleak.

Best case scenario is they canceled it and restarted it internally. Sega quality control has gone way up in the last several years. The 1st remake was awful and didn't do the series justice.

I didn't know this remake had such negative reception. I never played the original Sega Saturn game but just started the remake yesterday (thanks to there being a VR mod, I wouldn't have picked it up otherwise) and it's pretty fun so far. I like how the game takes into account you're not a plane and lets your view turn around independent of the dragon you're mounting, so you can attack in different directions.

You wouldn't think that from reading the earlier posts in this topic.

You should probably read it again then.
He's talking about the Remake having a negative reaction. You yourself dislike it.

Well I knew he was talking about the remake before his edit so not as clearly as you deem. Whatever.
