It's a scene for scene remake with all the original voice acting and badly needed qol like quick switching camo sets. You can even play with the original top down camera.
It literally already had a remake, as well. Subsistence changing the Camera is more of a major change than everything in this, or most remakes, combined. It completely changed how the game was played.
That was the biggest issue the game had, and it was literally already fixed. Then they ported the games to Steam not long ago anyway.
Which means both the main "reasons" for a remake are invalidated, and this only exists to milk money off fanboys who will buy anything. Even after most of them swore off Konami once they fucked Kojima, yet will now give Konami money for his game anyway.
Instead of these classic games getting remakes, I wish publishers would just reprint them for their original consoles like how book publishers do.
I know that's extremely unrealistic and farfetched, but I couldn't help dreaming a little.
The problem with that is that hardware is volatile and changing, while paper and ink will always be paper and ink. Its pretty simple to just sign off on republishing a book, because you'll have to do zero effort on the work itself.
Porting a game requires a lot of effort at times, both because of "tricks" the original devs used to create it and because of how much tech has changed that just doesn't function with the original. I'm always reminded how DK64 was incredibly laggy on the N64, which the devs worked with, so now the Virtual Console Port is basically unplayable and broken by removing that lag. Or how many games use the Frame Rate as the foundation of mechanics, so going above 30 breaks them entirely.
And reprinting them for their original console wouldn't help if the consoles themselves didn't get remade. All my old SNES/N64 games still work (and most of my CD ones), but the consoles themselves are all breaking and falling apart. With the market for refurbished ones getting smaller and more expensive.
I wonder if I can start pushing the paper and ink is bad for the environment and thus needs to be banned.
I thought only speedrunners cared about the lack of lag in the Virtual Console port, so I’m curious what no lag means for the average person
