I’m not sure remakes (or even ports) really count as preservation. Although you could think of them as preserving the popular accessibility of something resembling the original game. But I think it is nice that this remake is being faithful to the original.
Yeah, it’s not preservation in the way that preservationists use the word. Maybe we need a different term for this sort of modernisation process: game renovation maybe :D
Drawn a lot of enjoyment from the remake over the last week or so. It can, like the original, be obscure in its signposting, but I love the shot in the arm it’s given to one of my all-time favourites.
Yeah renovation seems like a better word.
I like your use of the word “renovation”. After playing both versions, the remake has the “spirit” of the original, and was clearly crafted with love, but it is not the original.
What is everyone’s opinion of PowerSlave Exhumed, another Night Dive Studios release? As I understand it, PowerSlave Exhumed combined the PC and Console versions of the original game. Is this a renovation as well? The game feels very authentic to the original but I haven’t played the original console version in 20+ years. :).
