| Re: Ten Suggestions For A CErtain Remake | |
| Posted By: Cody Miller | Date: 4/23/11 1:45 p.m. |
In Response To: Ten Suggestions For A CErtain Remake (Dani) : Agree? Disagree? Anything you'd add to such a list? I think we are at odd as to what we want in a remake. You seem to want something as close to the original experience as possible. I don't. The fact remains that if I want to play Halo and take a trip down memory lane, I can just play it. It works on my Xbox, and it works on my Xbox 360. I can get some people together to play a LAN. It's still available to me. Do you remember Gus Van Sant's Psycho remake? It's understandable that you don't, because it wasn't very good. It was more or less a shot for shot remake of the original, even going so far as to emulate editing and camera movement. Do you remember Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear remake? I'm sure more people do. It was very good. It was not however, faithful to the original. A lot was changed, and new aspects of the story and characters were explored. In fact, I'd say it's a better film than the original. I always point to the remakes of the Lunar games as examples of how to do it right. They remade them because while the Sega CD was a great system for RPGs, the Playstation just afforded them more resources in order to tell their story. As the developers put it, the Sega CD would "forget" things because it had little memory, and the sprite based animated sequences were limiting to them. The desire to do a remake was born because they had more they wanted to tell. Because the voice actors had aged a bit, they decided to rework the story where the main character was slightly older. This changed the story dramatically. In the original, Alex and Luna were kids, and it was more of a boy rescues girl fairy tale. Now, with both being older, an element of romantic love was added that deepened things. Characters were added, the music redone, the game became more colorful. They're both fine RPGs, but they are quite different. And that's good. If a Halo remake is straight up Halo in HD I'm not going to bother with it. However, if they redesign the levels, redo the cutscenes, tweak story points (don't have to retcon here, just deepen things), add new mechanics and elements, and of course have online multiplayer, then I might check it out.
