I mean ye but i dont se a reason for companies to do it

If its a remaster that costs more than the original release, it sure as shit better include all available content!

The original is usually dirt cheap or easily emulated. If you wanted to play the original, you would have done so by now.

Yeah, the only company who does it right is 2k and recently R*

as much as I hate rockstar, they did give legacy with enhanced and that’s cool

I will not change your mind. You are right, and a law requiring that should be enacted.

You make me subscribe to a game. You remove the constant purchase addons and provide skill based activities, and im in.
Not grinding actual objectives or events.
Basically, make destiny, but openl

Remakes should have discounts for original supporters who bought the original, and more than just a month before buying the remake. Reward those who helped support the original

But then how will the corpos milk people for that extra $10-20 and create that artificial hype for the “Gold/Complete/Master Edition” afterwards?

they use to…. remember when Baldurs Gate got a remake? company legit sued GoG cuz the original was selling like 10x better than the remake, so GoG pulled an sneaky and even thought hey were forced to stop selling the original, they included the original with every sale of the remake

depending on the platform / game this would require rebuilding the game from scratch to suit that architecture
eg: ps2 sh2
Warcraft_Fan
What if the original were coded for different OS? ie DOS version that won’t play natively in modern Windows because the original game was 16 bits.

I don’t think they should have to be, but I would enjoy it.

I would if it wasn’t destroyed and unplayable lmfao.
it legit was in a FUBAR state. just exploded.

The Bard’s Tale trilogy did exactly that.

Yup. Can we start a ballot initiative?
Need a lawyer to tell me how that works.

Remakes are usually because of losing licensed music. Essentially games stop paying for the music and then gets delisted or gone in remakes.

Why do that when you can sell the original to the few people that care for $5.99?

Remastered, totally.
Remakes? It depends. Games like the FF7 remake series don’t have to include everything for obvious reason.
Fit-Rip-4550
It doesn’t work for a lot of remakes. Lost source code, poor emulation makes it incompatible with modern systems, too much data to include it…

Goat sim remastered did this very well.

Homeworld Remastered did this 10 years ago and It makes me sad that the practice hasn’t caught on

This seems like it should already have been done at least once.

unpopular opinion: stuff should be free

That’s actually possible, if you’re willing to pay more for the remake. Don’t demand more if you’re not willing to pay, just like with $80 games

..that’s not how that works.
Ok if they remake, say. Evil Zone on the Ps1. how are they going to give you the original game? There not going to remaster the Ps1 version for your convenience for free. They could chuck an emulated version in there, build a little spot for it, Like tekken 5 did for Tekken 1-3 back on ps2. but then your subject to emulation issues, specially for a fighting game thats bad. The disc is Semi-rare at around $100-$120 so sure as shit is going to get you no real disc.
also a lot work goes into a remake, it is after all making a whole game from scratch.
And while a Remaster is simpler, just updating old code and graphics to look a bit better, at that point being minor upgrades that remasters generally are, whats the point in giving you a PS1 version? When you have an updated PS1 game that looks and runs better
Let me at least say, im not against the idea and i do support it and some games have a variation of this though “add-on/DLC” is a poor choice words, when it would in all cases be it’s own application.
