I never understand the backlash with old games being reinvented into a new genre.
Is it cash grab to make people buy the game based on title alone? Maybe, but as well, consumers generally will buy a FPS over an isometric tactical strategy game.
In the end, if the developers can get the same feel and atmosphere the original can, I think it's a good thing.
"The Daemon lied with every breath. It could not help itself but to deceive and dismay, to riddle and ruin. The more we conversed, the closer I drew to one singularly ineluctable fact: I would gain no wisdom here."
I played the original game on the Amiga 600, and loved it to death. I don't mind them making it a shooter, but they have to preserve the atmosphere I feel.
Similar to how Fallout 3 was received. Yes, it was basically a Bethesda game and an FPS view, people shat their pants but it felt like a Fallout game and nobody cared after that.
I never played the original so I can comment but in terms of potential customers, what's the ratio between new players and gamers who played the original? 70-30?
There were some levels where you could do that. Some where you couldn't. It had some very nice mechanics though, and a small level of good customisation.
Say, do you bring an extra clip, or do you bring a mini-brainwashing machine that will turn civilians in to your bodyguards? Awesome stuff.
*Face palm* jeez our classifiction board are living in fantasy land would've thought they have realised by now its not just kids that play games with all the polls that have been done.
They mentioned blowing limbs off with guns and seeing bone and what not
Uhhhhh....we got allowed Soldier Of Fortune, Just no consistancy with the games over here, Allow a select few in and then ban the next one and its not much different to the other ones.
