Ok /v/ explain this. Who the fuck would be willing to pay the price for an hd remaster (probably something like 30-40 dollars) for a game as old as this.

I don't get these remasters lately. Why are vidya devs scraping the bottom of the idea barrel so badly ?

People are playing older games because the industry is shit, people more and more are looking back to older products due to modern media being shit and hipsters love older games.

TL;DR

It sells

It takes a really big title like heroes 3, age of empires 2 or resident evil to get a remaster that people would throw money at.

Smaller titles are unlikely to make big money.

>Smaller titles are unlikely to make big money.

They won't make big money, but they'll still make more money than not remastering the game that has a dedicated following and that a sizeable chunk of people might have played before and want to do it again on modern operating systems.

Even if the OG game runs well on modern systems these remasters are just an excuse to market the games again.

The community usually

I feel as if I'd played this game even though I'm 100% I've never heard of it. Something about it feels really familiar.

it's an RTS

I guess? There's more to that. The way the vehicles sway when attacking and those health bars.

>another impressive marketing mumbo jumbo :)

Sums up the whole video, really.

And to pull Swine out of all the games out there is just silly.

>>16056985

Heroes 3 HD was absolute garbage though, I really hope they made as little money as possible on it.

For fuck's sake, they didn't even have map generator, let alone the expansions.

Expecting anything of quality from Ubisoft is like expecting a tranny not to kill itself

I don't know either but (((EA Games))) are trying to remake older C&C titles too and asking even the options of the OpenRA community.

Because new IPs are too risky compared to selling something that already ha an existing brand
