does anyone else have remake fatigue

>>719152258 (OP)
mario if he feel

>>719152258 (OP)
yes but modern game devs are too incompetent to come up with anything new without fucking it up massively
just play old games

i have a superpower where if I see a game i don't like I simply play something else instead. since there's dozens of great indie games every year there's no shortage, especially since I'm not locked into only playing the ultra-mainstream stuff.
the superpower does not extend to this thread for some reason

>>719152258 (OP)
>does anyone else have remake fatigue
no because normaldrones deserve shit games and remakes allow me to detect normalfaggots online, if someone says that the remake is better or that they didn't play the original then I can assume he's a retard

>>719152258 (OP)
yes and it's especially real with UE5 slop

>>719152427
wtf mario

does anyone else have "does anyone else have __ fatigue" fatigue

I have nintendo fatigue

>>719152409

Maybe around 5

I shit my diaper

I have fatigue fatigue

not enough profit from original titles for large studios, too much risk for the investors
if you want new games, stick to indies or AAs
big studios are pumping out profitslop

>>719152258 (OP)
lol no. I just don't buy those games or pay attention to it. It doesn't affect me.
But I am starting to get fatigue fatigue.

when I was a young ESL boy I used to pronounce fatigue as fatty-gue

>>719152409
>dozens of great indie games every year
pick a year, 2024 or 2025, then list 24+ great indies that came in out that year.

>>719152409
>it's okay that all the AAA games suck ass because I can just play indie pixel shit forever

>>719152258 (OP)
I only hate it when they remove the originals from stores when releasing the shitty remakes.

Part of me wants remake accelerationism just so they get through trying to resell us ALL the good games from the past and then we can all cross our arms at them and ask 'OK, now what?'

>>719154009
90% slop

>>719154139
Wow, you played all those games in less than 3 minutes?

>>719152258 (OP)
I was going to say yes but then I remembered I just bought Stronghold Crusader definite edition. And it's GIGALVDOKINO

>>719152258 (OP)
so tired of remakes, indie slop, and woke slop. They're short term low risk profit for investors. A high quality original costs money and is higher risk, making it a lesser option for companies.

>>719152258 (OP)
I have only played one remake and it was good. I did try Rebirth, so I guess that makes two, but I refunded it. The others have been just texture rereleases so I haven't bought them.

So all in all, I've only spent money on a good remake. It's a net win. I'm not fatigued.

I don't know a single (1) fucking game in the last ~10 years that is worth getting hyped about or trying, not even worthy getting pirated. And this is coming from someone who enjoys multiple genres and plethora of games played, I remember getting excited about a game release every week, banger after banger. Making your own game and replaying classics is the only solution.

nope. Im over here dying for the release of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter! also Romancing Saga 2 Remake was kino
most remakes are shit so I don't play them. when they are good is i play them. same as any other game.

>>719154578
jaded retard faggots like you need to fuck off. seriously go do something else you whiny bitch.

>>719154668
Shut up retard, go play your tranny cord game before you do a hero

Fatigue?
Remakes have been dead as a concept for me from the day Reforged released.

>>719152258 (OP)
Yeah, it sucks that new games are such garbage that remakes are the only thing people look forward to anymore and they keep fucking those up too.

>>719152258 (OP)
yes but I never wanted remakes in the first place. I can count the number of remakes I've bought on less than one hand. Even as a kid I felt stupid buying Pokemon FireRed when I'd already played Blue.

The worst part is that they've brainwashed the goycattle now into wanting remakes instead of actual new games, which is such a terrible state for an artistic medium.

>>719152258 (OP)
d2r was nice
otherwise i ignore them

>>719154009
Mostly shallow games with 0 depth

>>719155862
But Sonic Team doesn't have good ideas for totally original Sonic games.

>then maybe that's a sign they should stop making Sonic games

You guys should do more exercise. You wouldn't be wheezing and fatigued all the time, just the brief time after a run.

>>719152258 (OP)
Feels like I've had that ilness for about a decade or something. Devs aren't allowed to be creative and so all we get is old stuff

>>719152258 (OP)
No, because I've always despised the very concept of remakes, so I will never experience that fatigue you speak of.

>>719152258 (OP)
If they could stop fucking censoring the most milquetoast things to appease the mythical 'modern audience' in mature rated games that would be great.

Otherwise enjoy shit sales.

>>719157708
It just occured to me that commie shit "every book must be re-written" applies to games too.
It all makes sense now.

>>719154093
now we remaster the remakes

Remakes are a cheat and I hate how effective it is. These hacks could never make a successful original IP, so they just use work laid out for them by old devs. For some unknown reason, only a few select people see it as such.

>>719157708
they censor nudity because americans are prudes, and to lower age ratings, it's been done since forever. When it's for the non-existent modern audience, they swap genders, make the 3d models uglier, add pronouns and all that bullshit.

>>719152258 (OP)
Anybody that likes remakes is an incompetent retard that doesn't know how to emulate.

>>719152258 (OP)
It depends.
If it's some shitty remake that barely changes anything like the SMRPG one, yes.
If it's a game that changes a fuckton, like the Romancing SaGa 2 remake, then it's fine, it's pretty good even.
I would prefer no remakes but I can accept some of them. Unfortunately, these more high-effort ones are the minority these days.

>>719152409
based

>>719152258 (OP)
My favourite game of all time is a "remake" on the surface while actually being its own thing as you dive deeper into the game.
Sadly this kind of thing is so rare.

>>719152258 (OP)
I don't play games on Playstation anymore so nope.

>>719154009
>dozens of pixelshit "games"

>>719152258 (OP)
Yeah, set in around the Spyro remastered trilogy. It's always the same old tired arguments and I really don't understand the appeal. Although one thing I do like about remakes is that it draws my attention to a new series. If a series is getting a remake, that means the old games were probably good so I'll completely ignore the remake and check out the originals.

>>719158640
>many dozens more not what you just said
>conveniently ignored, I guess

>>719152258 (OP)
I have movie shit and subverted expectations fatigue
Remakes are fine, if they just do what capcom did for re1, and although I could've done without the mild censorship of smrpg, that was a good one in recent years

>>719159106
>subverted expectations fatigue
Same, it's become an expectation that my expectations will be subverted.

>>719152258 (OP)
I'd rather remakes that allow older games to work on modern systems than most of the new vomit "developers" keep spewing out.

>>719152409
>dozens of great indie games
Ehh, absolutely not.

are graphics that much of a turn off for people?
what the fuck does "modernized" even mean anymore?

who waits (and buys) for a remake of a game you can literally play right now?

>>719159604
you need to know how to find them, that's your problem is all.

>>719159749
Name 24 ('dozens') great indie games that came out this year.

>>719159463
This
I jokingly find myself thinking
>If you really wanna surprise me, do what fans fucking expect you to
I'm a firm believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", and retards these days feel that almost every aspect in remakes need to be "fixed"

>>719159831
Haven't been watching the indie scene much this year since I've been knee-deep in my emulation backlog, so my list is pretty bare but it always is before I start really looking. That's what separates the shitposters from the true game enjoyers, you know. That's why you struggle and I thrive.

Anyway since we're in August, here's 16 games. Proportional to the 24-games-in-a-year you want.
>Beyond Citadel
>Heroes of Hammerwatch II
>The Roottrees Are Dead
>Metal Bringer
>Look Outside
>Twilight Monk
>AI LIMIT
>Blue Prince
>Bionic Bay
>Out Of Hands
>Despelote
>Metro Gravity
>Super10Pin
>Y2Roll
>Mashina
>Öoo
Be sure to play some games you missed from 2024, 2023, 2022, etc. Your next favorite game is buried in here somewhere, and it would be a tragedy if you never played it merely because it wasn't given a $100m advertising budget.

>>719159687
>are graphics that much of a turn off for people?
For many yes, although from a logistical standpoint, I would've been very content with visuals capping out somewhere between gen 6 and 7
>what the fuck does "modernized" even mean anymore?
That strikes me as subjective. To me, it means it adheres to current trends, which in today's gaming sphere, means
>Movie games
>Open world games
>Face/ motion capture and hyper realistic aesthetics
>Online shit including but not limited to: subscriptions, gaas, and gachas
And much more unsavory practices and trends that have become popular for some reason
>who waits (and buys) for a remake of a game you can literally play right now?
I'll play an original until a remake comes out, but that might be something with a generational cutoff; I doubt zoomers would bother playing a game that came out before they were born when they can just play whatever shit studios pinch out these days

>>719152258 (OP)
is there an industry more cucked by nostalgia niggers who constantly buy this shit?

>>719160045
>fixed
They usually don't fix gameplay issues or glitches from the original though, generally remakes are more buggy. The only time I can think of where that happened was the change to the Iron Boots in Ocarina of Time.
I think they want to update it to make it less controversial, because they don't want to take the heat from the different pressure groups by offending one of them. So they have to take out anything sexy and anything that could be interpreted as racism or implied racism.
If they made a remake of VTMB, they'd probably take out the item description on the estrogen pils that says "Only take if female" because they don't want to offend professional victims. They'd probably take out some of the dialogue options rejecting the gay characters in the game because it could be interpreted as homophobia.
Like Maria in the Silent Hill 2 remake, I don't think they de-sexed her to piss people off. I think they did it because if they didn't, there would be a million articles of how offensive it is towards women, the male gaze, a deranged lunatic suicide bombing their offices, etc.

>>719160663
Film industry is on par I would argue.

>>719160663
are nostalgia niggers even buying this
i'm asking, i legitimately do not know and wouldn't understand someone who grew up in this era buying the same game they loved so much but upscaled

>>719160527
I agree the good games don't come from AAA anymore, but you should tone down your smug. I know there are some great indie games, but your personal list falls apart if you don't want to play roguelites. Or pay over 10 dollars for a simplistic, short game that doesn't attract you in any way.

If you want to help me, post great indie RPGs/strategy games that aren't roguelite.

>>719160913
I figure it's mostly people who never played the original games but know that they are popular so they use the remakes as an onboarding point.

>>719161208
>great indie RPGs/strategy games that aren't roguelite
Good one. Those are some of the hardest and riskiest genres to make if both quality and length are a requirement - because 'small dev plz understand'.
Personally, I got good mileage out of Infested Planet. Anons seem fond of Troubleshooter. And if high-effort mods could even count as indies, we might as well include stuff like Archolos.

>>719152258 (OP)
I just have fatigue
