It came out in '98. There is over an entire generation of gamers now who have never played it.
I don't know the plan. If they're angling to just milk nostalgia, probably no big deal. If the game stands on its own merit and people under 35 see it as just "the new Zelda game", it doesn't really matter if it's a remake or not. That's a big slice of the market.
Its 100% nostalgia. Unless they change quite a lot of how the game actually works, the game kinda sucks now.
It was beyond incredible for its time, and has earned its spot in the all-time hall of fame, but you won't be able to get kids of today to actually enjoy it.
Yeah maybe. My nephews are absolutely obsessed w/ Mario 64 despite having basically every console.
Honestly, Mario 64 never resonated with me.
I'm not saying kids will like it, I'm just not as certain as you that they won't. People went bananas for stardew valley, which is at its core SNES harvest moon. The right game in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
or people just like good games that capture their imaginations and are fun and rewarding to play.
and what makes a game good doesn't really change with time. anymore that a good film or book or anything.
good shit lasts and is timeless. it speaks to people across time and cultures.
yeah not everyone likes it, but not everything is for everyone. But there is a reason we are still reading and talking about the Illiad 2000+ years later. and people will be playing Mario 64 in 50 years, just like they play the NES games today. NES Zelda is 40 years old and still a classic.
It's a remake, not a remaster. It will likely have entirely new assets and a modern game design. Familiar but new
Yeah I agree, I even think nintendo's has a bigger nostalgia market with parents who will buy it for their kids.
I think a lot (or at least a lot of the more vocal) older fans will realise that a ground up remake isn't going to hit the same mark gameplay wise, a mixed bag no matter what for a game with a cult following like oot
