I’ve been thinking about the possibility of future technology prompting another round of remakes for games that have already been remade. What kind of advancements in technology do you imagine could lead to this? We’ve already seen incredible progress from early 2D games to modern 3D graphics. Is there a next big leap that would make us want new versions of games like Final Fantasy VII or even current titles like Elden Ring and God of War, beyond simple remasters?

Honestly, the only thing that seems to drive this trend is the willingness of players to shell out cash again and again. Look at Pokémon – it’s already been remade multiple times! I wouldn’t be surprised to see even more remakes as graphics get more lifelike and VR becomes standard.
Just look at how many times stories like Robin Hood have been retold in movies. The same applies to games – it’s all about the money. If people are willing to buy it, they’ll keep remaking it, even if the tech doesn’t drastically change.
True! It’s about consumer demand more than anything else.
It’s very likely we’ll see ‘re-re-remakes’ in the future, especially if companies are looking for easy cash grabs. As technology advances, CEOs might decide to cash in on nostalgia again.
Yeah, I could see VR tech pushing for this. Imagine revisiting classic games with immersive virtual reality!
Not sure we need another remake, though. Sometimes you just gotta leave classics in the past.
Every time a new console drops, we see older games make a comeback. It won’t be ‘as big’ as previous leaps, but the trend of remakes is definitely here to stay. Look at games like Resident Evil 4 – they just keep coming back!
Absolutely! It’ll be interesting to see what gets resurrected next.
Right? It feels like they’ll keep drumming up nostalgia until people stop buying.
