: Assertion: Marathon 1 remade as a modern game would be either: * Crappy by
: modern standards. (Only one open outdoor level? Only two types of
: environments? Endless sequences of boxy corridors and small rooms? And the
: terminals are kind of long to adapt directly into voice.)
: Or: * Not so much an update of the original as an adaptation into a different
: medium (analogous to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings ).
: M2 and Moo would fare slightly better, but the same basic problem would
: exist.
: Also, the new version would probably have massively different gameplay, with
: intelligent enemies able to not constantly kill each other/themselves. So
: there would (thankfully) be at least one reason for people to still seek
: out the originals: to see if they have the skills of an old-school
: Vidmaster.
You can always have both, old and new. LONG LIVE ALEPH ONE!
