Game : The Last Of Us 2

asking for friend

I freakn love sekiro

as you know my MacBook neo is a gaming beast and runs really hot on crysis

I mean it still looks like a 2010 game, but a good 2010 game...

I think the Vignette adds to the visuals

Game: Split Second: Velocity

I like it alot when I am writing something but it's so hard to look at the screen with it what do I do , I also considered buying a smart one instead of this (with multiple colors) to increase overall aesthetic

A most wanted remake seems to be the Hot Topic for the casual fans...

I, for one, jumped on the bandwagon just like others and wanted a Most Wanted remake myself....

However, after some deep thought I realized that it won't ever feel the same...

You see, Every Need For Speed Game with a story is based around the pop culture of what's popular during that time

Underground is reminiscent of the fast and furious movies. Carbon is reminiscent of a mid 2000s crime-action drama more evident by it's dark and Gritty nature which was popularin games during mid-late 2000s.

Undercover, while failing in execution, tried to look like a Michael Bay movie from the late 2000s.

2015 Looks like a mid 2010 movie or a TV show based on Street racing...

2022, Hip-Hop is really popular and Unbound comes out. There are some decent rap songs that can go along with racing. Criterion just picked ones that didn't... Other than that it looks like a game for the 2022 audience...

The thing is, Most Wanted 2005 is a game that screams "2000s" in your ear. The grungy and Gritty vibe, the atmosphere. The Soundtrack Comprising Of mid 2000s Rap and Nu Metal, the atmosphere, the Dialogues, THE PISS FILTER...

Yeah, Believe it or not, the yellow filter is an integral part in selling the vibe...

People Find the Dialogues Cheesy and kinda Corny now, but back in 2000s this was normal...

The point I'm trying to make is, Not just most wanted but any black box nfs game can't be remade in today's date because it just doesn't fit the culture...

Like, go out for once and ask any 10-15 Random people if they listen to Avenged Sevenfold or The Prodigy. You'll get the answer for yourself...

When you're playing most wanted, You know you're playing 2005 game and don't feels bothered by it at all...

Now one might say "why don't they just rework the game and replace the 2000s tone with a modern one"?

Then the question is "would it even be most wanted anymore?"

Like if you're remaking a game which has its entire personality tied to being a 2000s game, then you have to nail the atmosphere and tone of the original

But the problem Is that people today are bothered by those very same things that made most wanted 2005 so special.

What choice do you have but the strip the game of it's original personality and apply a new one to it? And even after you do that it's no longer the same game anymore...

I'd rather have a Most Wanted 3 than a remake

Another thing is that it's just not possible to trust EA at a time like this to faithfully remake or even remaster a game properly...

That's why it's just better to make a new Game instead of ruining one of your most popular games just for the sake of making a quick buck

If you really want to see Most Wanted back in action, then a simple Re-release on PC and consoles would be a far better way to let your fans experience this classic
