Alright, that's another five. Five.

 

[Purkake]

I don't neccessarily WANT a Fallout remake or an XCOM remake or a Jag 2 remake. I was only remarking that if it were not highly dumbified a remake could be fine, ie NOT the devil.

 

I think simply claiming that remakes are the devil is a pretty sad reason for not wanting a remake. Actually it's not eally a reasomn at all.

I said that because most of the remakes are bad or mediocre at best and even when they're good you already know the story, it's a waste of time and resources.

 

I guess it comes down to most of you here happily replaying games 10 times, while I play them a couple of times at best and then I'm done with them. This goes for story-based games mostly, I can keep replay x-com every now and then because it has a random component, but with story-based games, once I have experienced them I'm done.

Remakes are lame. Reimaginings can be a bit more fun, but remakes... not so much.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

On the other hand I fully support spiritual successors of long dead series.

[Ausir]

Saying that turn-based is dead is silly, since turn-based jRPGs sell millions of copies. Just because it's not popular among American developers doesn't mean it's dead. The US is not the whole world.

I basically agree with you, but I generally don't play story-based games, so I can get quite a bit of replay out of the ones I like.

 

For the record, I wouldn't consider Fallout a story-based game. I mean, yes, it had a story, but the story sucked.

[Gorth]

I can think of two good remakes: Prince of Persia Classic & Tomb Raider Anniversary. They were good because they tried to stick to the originals as close as possible.

I'll remember that remark...

I'm right there with you. I might replay a game years down the road when I've forgotten the story a bit, but story based games are typically one and done with me.

 

JA2 and Xcom being the exceptions, but again the bulk of the game play is unique in every play through there.

[Atom523]

i don't mind replaying a game I enjoyed, i have played Earth 2150 like a good 20 times per faction (except the ED they aren't as much fun)

I have played a select few JRPGs over and over again, Fallout and Fallout 2 have gotten at least a dozen completions each. I have a lot of games that i pop in ever once in a while to go through them. Perhaps since I haven't been able to afford to buy the latest and greatest games for a while I have been going through my old games more and more.

Then again i am a very nostalgic person so games from my younger days still amuse me.

[Purkake]

There's always a few old games that you haven't played.

 

Shameless plug

Does that include The Longest Journey?

[Purkake]

I could probably listen to April's hilarious comments a few more times, but the CG cutscenes kill me.

 

Seriously, what is this?

Dude, it was 1999.

 

One might as well post some PS:T cutscene snippets.

[Purkake]

I'll take PST's cutscenes over that any day.(does PST even have any in-game cg cutscenes featuring characters?)

 

 

But the point is that she doesn't even looks like a person, creepy.

Edited February 12, 2010 by Purkake

[jjc]

I could replay games like Fallout, Fallout 2, or Arcanum several times. In fact, I already did that. I don't need to do it again.

[Oner]

Septerra Core was '99 and some kewl cutscenes. Also, FF VII.

[Purkake]

Even the

was better.

 

I guess they just didn't have good CG people at hand for TLJ, but it's a small complaint compared to the awesomeness that is April Ryan.

The problem is her face looks different in every cutscene.

 

[Purkake]

Would be interesting to see what the original concept art actually looked like...

 

EDIT: Best one I could find:

 

 

Not much of an improvement.

Looks better in Dreamfall:

 

But for some unfathomable reason FunCom moved April's mole to her right cheek.

Some more stuff from OXM:

 

The Brotherhood of Steel will make an appearance, but won't be one of the main factions, unlike the New California Republic and the Caesar's Legion

Special attacks in VATS are performed by pressing Y (For 360)

The Pip-Boy in the game is the Pip-Boy 3000 from Fallout 3

Your quest in the wasteland involves finding out who tried to murder you and what was in the package you were carrying

In Goodsprings, there is the option of joining with the Powder Gangers and ruining the town.

Customization - Scopes on pistols is one example. It also affects the guns performance, add a large magazine to a weapon, and you'll notice longer, but fewer reloading times.

The reputation will be important to the ending

Nightkin have been turned schizophrenic through prolonged use of Stealth Boys, they deactivate their camo before attacking you, with a club. You can only target them in VATS when they're visible.

You can covince Tabitha that the dumb mutants are planning a revolt against the smart ones, and that causes a battle between the two factions, leaving you to go and grab up Raul.

Poseidon Energy was developing a solar weapon called Archimedes II. The plant is currently controlled by NCR, and they've placed a guy named Fantastic in charge of the plant, he hasn't figured out how to activate the plant or the weapon yet. But, if you're good enough, then you can. You can divert power to the wastes, or use the weapon for your own ends.

SPECIAL descriptions are back: If you have 1 Endurance, your Endurance description is 'Basically Dead' and with 10 Charisma you are 'Cult Leader'.
