Heck, even the Demon's Souls remake feels unnecessary.
Games like Dead Space, The Last of Us, and Mass Effect just feel like completely unnecessary remakes - especially if they're going to be direct recreations of the original with little-to-no creative liberty. Fallout: New Vegas comes to mind.īut this recent fad of rote remasts or remakes of PS3-era games that were already highly-polished and still modern-feeling (and thus hold up well today) just feels like lazy, cynical cash-grabs to me. I would also understand the desire to go back and take another stab at more recent games which are really good, but which may have been virtually unplayable due to technical problems. I get the desire to remake or re-imagine older games that actually are dated, like Resident Evil 2 or Final Fantasy VII, which were both completely redesigned with modern gameplay conventions and (in especially in the case of Final Fantasy VII) bold new creative and narrative decisions. It is designed around gameplay conventions that are still standard practice today, and so the original still holds up well, outside of some mildly-dated presentation. Dead Space is only 10 years old, is an HD game that still looks fine.
This is a remake that does not need to exist. I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you right up front: I'm coming into this review with a negative bias.
