Here's why I think Konami didn't have a choice but to make Metal Gear Solid Delta a 1:1 Remake

The MediEvil remake came out 7 years ago today. This is the same amount of years as between the release of the original MediEvil (1998) and MediEvil: Resurrection (2005)!

You bet I am replaying the original Ocarina of Time's before the remake comes out!

2 weeks left!!!

[Zelda Universe @ZeldaUniverse]

Are you replaying Ocarina of Time before the release of the remake? Or are you waiting until the remake is out?

[Assassin's Creed @assassinscreed]

Thank you everyone for your patience.

New Game+ is coming to Black Flag Resynced next week! 🥂🎊

[Sano | Retro to Hero @RetroToHero]

Wtf... such a shame. 😢 Thank you for making me dream and live so many beautiful adventures. KOTOR, Mass Effect, Dragon Age. You will be remembered as one of the greatest storytellers in videogame history.

[Sano | Retro to Hero @RetroToHero]

Replaying the OG at the moment and yes, it seems close to a 1:1 remake, with most changes related to character movements and graphics.

Seems like a legit choice!

[Blue Thunder @BlueThunderReal]

I played both the original and the Ocarina of Time Remake, recording shot for shot and compared them both!

[Zephryss⛩️ @TheRealZephryss]

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has received the worst post launch support ever.

🔸 No Hidden Blade combat
🔸 No New Game+
🔸 No unarmed combat
🔸 No content roadmap
🔸 Major bugs are still there

At least give us some official news Ubisoft.

New trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake, a fine tribute to the original commercial!

Art thou ready?

Just a rumor for now, but a Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines remake would be a dream come true.

Many people don't realize how the original was, despite its formal flaws, not only one of the best PC RPGs ever created, but simply THE best vampire game ever.

And while it is valuable to see if a remake caters to a new audience, it is as important to see if the remake is loyal and respectful enough to the old ones. It is not about nostalgia. It is about preservation and love for the original material.

[Sano | Retro to Hero @RetroToHero]

I don't get why a platform as big as IGN couldn't get someone who has actually played the original to write their preview...

I'm not saying playing or reviewing remakes should only be done by older or retrogamers, but those games are often especially made for them....

[IGN @IGN]

"I never played Ocarina of Time, but 2 hours with the remake proves there’s so much more to this masterpiece than nostalgia."

Don't know the hell is going on with my X algorithm. Just returned after a c. 1-year hiatus , and my feed is now filled with rage bait, stupid comments bashing games by people who obviously never played them. Has my algorithm reseted, or does X have a worse community now?

[RENEWS @RENews_X]

🤔 Jun Takeuchi explains why Resident Evil 2 was chosen over Resident Evil 1 as the first remake in the series.

“The reason we didn't choose Resident Evil 1 as the first remake is because it's such a stoic game. Because it focuses so heavily on the horror derived from its stoicism, we were concerned that it might not resonate with today's game fans. Furthermore, the Raccoon City incident is essentially the starting point of the Resident Evil saga, so we felt that experiencing it was the best way for people to understand the origins.”
