Maybe they have the ability/time/resources to come back and update some stuff like the lobby/player match setup. But I can also totally see a scenario where they basically have exactly as much time and budget as was available to reskin the game and get it launched digitally. To be crystal clear: I'm 101% with you on this. Even if the final results are kind of mind boggling. Anything that didn't involve engine tweaks - such as the wacky dacky way the lobbies sound like they work - was probably able to be ported over nearly 1:1 and so long as it didn't actually break anything they were probably told to do exactly that. I remember in one of EC's vids he talked about how the training mode is exactly the same or near that to what the VF5FS version was. Most of what I've seen that they changed is all graphical overhauls, which is very different from getting too deep into the code base (though not that I'm underselling how much work probably went into that, more that it probablyВ was a resource focus). Point of fact to keep costs low they almost certainly had a mandate to change as little as was absolutely necessary.

Programmer hat moment: although they rebuilt the game in a new engine, that doesn't necessarily mean that they messed with the bones all that much. Until it came to a menu and a search bar.

That is probably going to increase the amount of people that will at least give it a shot by a few orders of magnitude.Д«ut it kinda isnвЂ™t? It was a full rebuild in a new engine, so they put in some serious work. But as others have said almost certainly the wisdom of pushing it as a PS+ title. Always feels like a really rough situation to convert. You're looking to sell to what seems like a thin slice of the Venn diagram - new players to an old game who feel like they are going to like a game enough to push through a rocky start. And when you are coming to an older game you have to know damn well that you are jumping into a shark tank, so you need to be prepared to take your lumps from people who have stuck with the game since ye olden tymes. I think its worse with FGs: although they can have a much better shelf life (a great FG is as much fun to play now as it was when it was new) anyone that is into that game almost certainly already owns it or otherwise has ways to play it.

Good point about TWEWY, I forgot about that re-release.ДЄwakening I think of as a different beast, and it sort of illustrates my issue with this 'old game as a metric approach': re-releasing old games is great but outside of some corner case scenarios probably isn't going to garner a lot of excitement. Fire Emblem as well because FE Awakening would have been the last in the series if it didnвЂ™t sell. If I recall, The World Ends with You had a situation like this.
