I sort of just want new games. If they want to follow some design methods of the original that’s fine. But then remaking it and giving us the same story and a lot of repeated moments is just wasted potential.

I guarantee you creators like these have whole books of unused concept art and story ideas that have not been turned into games.

I'm not against getting a remake. I like to see how a game could be reimagined.

I still love the original version and I like the new version of it (most of the time).

Honestly this is part of the exact reason I'm not buying it.

First of all, I don't own a Switch2, and I'm not getting one, Nintendo has been on my shit list lately.

But more than that, OoT is a game that's already had a remake/remaster released once before and was also one of the first games to get a full PC-native decompilation (without use of GenAI, at that). I can play the classic game in 4K/60FPS. I can apply texture filters or graphics overhauls. I can apply randomizers and mods. I can play multi-player. 30 year old game guides and speedrun tech is still valid.

There's honestly really nothing at all in New-OoT that draws me toward it. I'm completely convinced that the one and only reason this game exists is because Nintendo got big mad about the existence of the decomp project which they can't legally attack, so they decided to cook up a big old "new and improved" version to try and bait people toward that instead. It's half nostalgia bait and half trying to bury quality fan works.

I am willing to have my mind changed about this once the game is actually in the hands of the public and we get some more detailed reviews from real gamers, but I really, really don't expect to.
