Most major publishers make remakes and remasters of their titles, sometimes very old ones, sometimes relatively new ones. For example, Sony remade The Last of Us, but Uncharted is rumored to be getting the same treatment.
For Benson Russell, the designer of the first two Uncharted games, there’s no point in remaking the original game if it’s still part of the “cultural zeitgeist.” In his opinion, the idea of remaking Drake’s Fortune is a rather useless exercise.
A word from the Uncharted designer
“‘Unknown’ as a phenomenon is still part of the zeitgeist,” he told the publication. “System Shock…it makes sense to remake it nowbecause it has terrible key mapping, which prevents a lot of people from trying it. There is already a version [di Drake’s Fortune] You can play on modern consoles [per] Live that experience. What’s the point of making a remake? [o un remake]? ”
“I really don’t understand the point of reshooting ithe continued. “You have to rewrite the entire story to make it better, which means you’re going to change the spirit of the game, the setting, and what the first chapter represents, right? Do you need to add all these new scenes or remove something, and a lot of key sequences – are you going to keep them? Should you redo them because they don’t fit your story? It doesn’t make any sense. [farne un remake]. Honestly, I thought the same thing about The Last of Us Part 1. ”
Naughty Dog seems to have chosen to develop a remake of The Last of Us instead of Uncharted
Russell ended his speech by saying that remaking “Drake’s Fortune” feels like “More of a cash-raising exercise than an essential one at the moment”, adding: “Just don’t recreate the first game. It’s just…well. ”
