Who will speak up for the games that sucked? Me. I will.
There are games out there crying out for remakes, but they're none of the ones getting remade.
A year from now, or two, or three, I'll sit down in front of my television and once again enjoy Geralt's first videogame adventure, but this time the resolution options will tick up to 4K and combat won't be some kind of amorphous rhythm game mashup."Yes," I will say to no one,"This certainly was a good videogame at the time and is, indeed, a good videogame now".
I'm driving at a serious point here, which is that I wish I had friends. Wait, no, I mean, my point is that there are games out there crying out for remakes, but they're none of the ones getting remade. Sure, the old classics might have rough edges that could do with sanding down, but they're nothing compared to the myriad diamonds in the rough of the past few decades that could, with a bit more time in the oven, return to us as genuinely great games.
I am my own problem here, I admit. As much as I whine, I will absolutely fork over the money for the Witcher remake and all the others, too, because they'll probably be quite good—they were the first time. It's precisely my reliability on this matter that makes remakes of great games such a lucrative pursuit for games companies. Still, it'd be nice if, just once, a real screw-up got a second chance to make good.
