"The current obsession with nostalgia and remake culture is easy to understand when you realize that it's a symptom of a culture that isn't allowed to imagine a future."

I have no problem with remakes as long as they aren’t just trying to grab some cash from you without any work.

I’ve really enjoyed the Final Fantasy VII remakes or the Planet of the Apes remakes. Yes they aren’t perfect, but it feels like some passion was put into these projects.

As long as we aren’t just getting remakes, I have nothing against it. And sometimes remakes even have more originality than another generic game.

I'm torn on the FFVII remake, waited 20 years and I feel like I was handed a different game; it is a good game without a doubt, and the characters feel familiar. After eagerly jumping in and playing a while I found myself longing for a remake of the game I played for months before saving up enough for a memory card.

Well the magic of a remake is that you can still poay the old game if you’re not happy with it😅
