I am so sick of remakes. Either make new original games or remake the countless shitty games into better games, don't remake great games into mediocre slop.
How shitty is the stance of game devs/publishers towards their paying customers nowadays? I have not played GTA 5 myself but I've heard that it's very limited in how you can complete missions, when compared to previous titles. Rockstar have also been suing modders and putting anti-modding measures into their games? And then publisher bigwig saying something along the lines of "GTA 6 deserves to be "pay-per-session"?
You pay for the game and you expect to own it and do whatever you want with it. Instead you can only play it the way devs intended, you can't mod it, it doesn't work without internet and the publisher can yank it out at any moment due to the live service bullshit. And that's not even mentioning how modern games are full of bugs, current year politics and take fucking hundreds of gigabytes.

The year is 2100. On sale are Doom, Quake, Resident Evil, Silent Hill remakes (all are worse than originals and completely unrecognizable). Number one selling game is "The Corridor", in which you have to go through the corridor. You pay to get it and then money is deducted from you every second you're in game, if you press anything other than W to go forward, you lose and you're banned and can't play anymore.

If that’s the case, what’s the point of the ESRB or even attempting a console release?

whenever i see this shit i am always compelled to post this timestamp.
but the best remake of a game is just picking it up and making it compatible with modern systems but that's nothing short of a patch from the source files, problem is that corporate incompetence can be a huge hurdle that can cause source files to be lost and repatching oldass games for new systems requires a programmer which means money wasted, companies would rather just do a bunch of gaytarded shit and ask for 80~60 bucks pls but hey i'm not a beancounter so what the fuck do i know...

The last remake I've ever enjoyed playing was RE1. It still kept the feel and lore of the original game while it introduced new concepts such as crimson heads & defense weapons. The newer remakes never understood what made the originals great in the first place and don't get me started on these newfags who enjoy every modern slop say that "teh remhake gahms r bettur than dee ohriginhal!"

Almost like Postal 2 subtly reminds you of the first game and how it cant escape its horrifying energy.

Whenever I walk up the outdoor staircase to the red and white water tank behind the bank, I always remember hearing the ambient nonsensical swooshing of that bush.
I love creepy unexplained shit like that. I wonder what's making the swooshing there!

Yes, please tell me with a straight face how the OG RE2 and 3 are so much better, specially RE3 which was called a lazy cash grab.

LOL. Isn't RE3make a cash grab as well?

That's my matter of preference, I'm not much of a fan of the overhead shoulder control from RE4 onwards. Don't care if someone calls me "old-fashioned" for my preferences. Agree to disagree and all that shit.

Looking at some of the creature re-designs of both remakes of 2 & 3, they're uninspired. Not the type I'd go "oh shit." Mr. X and Birkin's, although making them more dangerous in the remake, their mutated form is "meh." So are Nemesis' transformations in the remake and he also acts like Spider-Man now who can't even kill STARS members because he wants to toy with his victims instead.
 
Running With Scissors posted an FAQ relating to POSTAL 2 Redux on Steam.

They choose Unity for the remaster.

The PC version should remain uncensored.

They will start a Kickstarter campaign and locked Workshop support behind a followers goal. Pretty scummy imo

They also have a giveaway going.

Just got MikeJ's email regarding this. I'm still not convinced they'd keep the game as is with the enhancements, call it a hunch. Also requiring 10k followers just to unlock modding support is a definite WTF.

The Steam Workshop support goal has been reached. The only goal left is the Super-Fun Pigeon Hunter Mission.

RWS has also been posting some pre-alpha videos on Xitter.
