It´s not the same
All Fable lovers have probably heard about the remake of the first Fable game, it´s not a new game but an HD remake of the original game. Which really makes me wonder, if it adds nothing new why would you pay for a game you probably already have? Because Microsoft is clever, every new console can´t play the old games and so they can give them a graphics update and release them again on the new consoles. Is that from the good of their heart or just a clever way of earning some extra money?
I don´t want to complain though, I really enjoyed playing Fable and I miss playing that game. The last time I played that game I still had the original Xbox, which is quite some years ago. There was also an option to download Fable on your Xbox 360 but that was so fucked up, after playing for about 30 minutes the screen went black and after that I couldn´t play the game anymore. So this new HD version could be just what I wanted, but I do feel like I´m paying for a game I already have. Because there are no new missions or anything else that I already had with the lost chapters version. So why should anyone pay for this? Well some people probably do care about graphics and others just have such fond memories of Fable that they buy the game out of nostalgia, which would be a good reason for myself to buy it. But with all the awesome games that are releasing this year I do want to spend my money a bit more wisely, because I don´t want to waste money on games I don´t really want or that I´ve already played. There is always that problem of too many games and not enough money to buy them all.
But there is another problem with remakes, are they going to be as good as the original? I think if there is one game that has been suffering from that is Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64. I´ve seen so many pathetic imitations and replicas that I almost started to hate the game. Do you remember Goldeneye 2? What a piece of shit! For that matter most Bond games turned out to be bad, so I can´t say that after the first Goldeneye game that there were any other games really worth the money you spend on them. Even Goldeneye Reloaded was terrible in my opinion, because it just felt so different and putting the current Bond in that game was just wrong. Maybe I´m too sensitive about it but some games shouldn´t be messed with, yes they´re awesome and yes it´s a shame that you don´t have that on the new consoles but that doesn´t make it alright to make a shitty replica or sequel to earn some quick cash. Games should always get the attention and dedication they deserve so you get a decent game, not some piece of shit that makes you feel bad that you spend money on that!
