GmanLives - The Blood Remaster Is Really Good (Review) - Videos for the 97.4%

I wonder how true to original DOS version is the game logic in Fresh Supply.

Beating three levels in a row with just the pitchfork on extra crispy automatically makes you win the entire game.

How is it a remaster? I always thought remaster means touching up of the content but leaving game-play in tact. This is just plain old Blood on a new engine.

Usually remasters are just art visuals and sometimes technical upgrades without touching the content. Changing the content would be a remake.

So Call of Duty® Modern Warfare Remastered is, in fact, a remake? And Duke Nukem Megaton Edition was a remaster? Makes no sense to me but okay.

I think that a remake is better defined by a game that was recreated in a completely different engine or with something else that is fundamentally different. A game that uses largely the same assets with higher definition graphics and has something like two extra campaigns would just be a good remaster in my opinion. The addition of gameplay content does not necessarily mean that it's a remake.

Oversimplication of the terminologies honestly. But a good rule of thumb is a remaster is more or less the same game from a core design standpoint, whether it's made on a new engine or not because the base content is still the same, or at least tries to recreate the original experience. Technically speaking most remasters are on a 'different engine' because they're using a newer build, and in other cases a completely different engine that tries to accurately emulate the original as much as possible i.e. Blood Fresh Supply, and other examples such as Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Modern Warfare Remastered is a remaster, and so is Megaton Edition, despite any additional levels or new content because in the end it's the same base game but with some new bells and whistles and a few added extras. Remakes are new takes based on the premise of the original. Resident Evil 2 Remake is appropriately called it because it takes familiar story beats from the original and retells them into its own new thing, with a different tone and pace, including the change in camera perspective and gameplay mechanics. Black Mesa is also a remake because despite still being a first person shooter and follows mostly the same narrative, it redesigns everything from how the base gameplay feels, the tone of the setting, and the arrangement of the level design. Ratchet and Clank on the PS4 is also a remake, because it completely retools the whole story and the gameplay into its own new thing, only taking a handful of main story cues from the original PS2 game. I guess in other words, a remaster is a game that tries to emulate the original as much as possible with some optional additions and improvements, whereas a remake is a completely new thing that may or may not follow some familiar elements from the original.

A remaster is when you take an old game and update it for modern systems, usually by increasing the resolution of the game and if possible increasing the texture resolution. A remake is when you actually remake a game with new assets. Crash Bandicoot and Spyro are remakes, not remasters as they have entirely new assets. Modern Warfare Remastered is a remaster because the gameplay systems, models and effects are exactly the same but the game has enhanced textures. A remake does NOT need to change how a game plays, in fact most remakes don't change the gameplay of the original.

Modern Warfare Remastered doesn't use the same models and effects. It actually has everything made from the ground up. The engine it's running is using the same that was on Infinite Warfare. Referring to the user I replied to earlier, in this case I guess you can say Modern Warfare Remastered is in fact, a remake

Gmanlives is also spreading bullshit, this rerelease has not been based on the original source code, but rather it's a reverse engineering like NBlood and BloodGDX.

Naturally it won't be based on original source code, since it's been lost. But I don't remember Gman saying anything about Fresh Supply being based on the original source code.

It's not lost, Jace Hall and other people still have it. They are just not allowed to use it at all, because while the publishing rights for the game lie with Atari, everything else lies with Warner Brothers. He implied it in the video and outright said it on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ggdograa/status/1126604607436627968 But he's wrong: https://twitter.com/SVKaiser/status/1071146867650641920

Yeah I feel like that if you're going to review the first proper modern release of a 90s game, you shouldn't just talk about how awesome the game is, but also talk about how accurate the release is to the original, if it's worth picking up compared to the recent reverse engineered source ports etc, there's many other things he could've talked about instead of just saying how cool Blood is. (This is unrelated to this discussion but i also really hate his humor. "Pink On The Inside... like ur mom!". Why?)

I've always seen gman as a pretty mediocre reviewer who always contradicts his own opinions and has no real substance compared to someone like Civvie. But I really do appreciate the level of interest he can generate around retro fps.

That's completely false. Nearly every single model in MWR has been recreated. Compare the M4s for just a basic example

If you refresh you can re-rate.

In that case they did a fantastic job at recreating the game because when I played it on the PS4 last week it looked almost exactly like the original without a direct comparison. In that case though I would call Modern Warfare Remastered a remake.

Nah its not that, it's my phone Icons are tiny
