It doesn’t make any of what went before less interesting and playable. Give anything 10-15 years, and anything will be made redundant in the way that your saying.

You’ll be able to say the same about any game released now. There’s a reason why 99% of gamers barely even know that Sega Rally 3 ever existed, and why it went straight to Xbox Live as a downloadable title instead of getting a retail release. It’s not like either of those games stands out as one-of-a-kind or hasn’t even been replaced by sequels which people have largely ignored.

Sliding around a damage free track protected by indivisible, impenetrable walls is a kind of gameplay that’s been so naturally replaced by dozens of other titles in the genre that it doesn’t need to be brought back. There’s been a slow, natural evolution of the genre and it means that while they were the benchmark titles at the time, they’re essentially a noteworthy iteration of the games that came before and after them. The racing market is big enough that it is most certainly “different strokes for different folks” but I think that’s kinda why those Sega games are so redundant now. Not sure how you can draw such a clear delineation between the Sega of the 90’s and the products of “cold-hard figures, suits and share-holders” though, don’t forget that both those Sega racers had gameplay designed from the ground up to steal a couple of bucks from you every 2 minutes or so! Outside of the F2P market I don’t think you could be MORE evil-corporationy! Well, I certainly respect your love for the oldies. It’ll be nice to play a few racing games that are a labour of love, rather than the product of cold-hard figures, suits and share-holders. Regardless, we’re getting Drift Stage, and (hopefully) The 90’s Arcade Racer this year, so here’s to the return of Arcade games with personality. Doesn’t mean that those of us without the typical modern tastes shouldn’t be even a little catered to. I know what your saying, and I’m sure I feel the same about certain games too, but yeah, I’m not most people. Games that are technically great, like the re-done Need For Speed Hot Pursuit/Most Wanted just can’t seem to hold my interest. The lack of variety in, and homogenization of the genre as a whole is something I find really off-putting. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I don’t actively seek out out realism or ‘extreme’ in a racing title. Sega Rally is pure arcade, and that’s what I love about it. The last rally game worth a damned to me was CMR 2005. I lost interest in Burnout & DiRT and identikit dude-bro, slick-ass ‘arcade’ racer no. I love the Saturn version – there’s nothing wrong with it. I must have a high tolerance to big pixels and such, because those damage-free, pop-up riddled environments don’t affect the gameplay in the slightest. That scrolling in Daytona never bothered me – I can’t say I’ve even noticed it.

Sure, I could install an emulator on my craptop right now, but if I had access to it while stuck on the train, I’d be more likely to replay Super Metroid. Ive got a decent collection of PSX games on my Vita now which covers a lot of my retro gaming needs, I really wish 3DS virtual console did SNES, GBA, & DS. Im really keen on Majora’s because even though I own a copy on GameCube, I wont be getting it out of storage any time soon to play, whereas plonk in on 3DS and I can play it whenever I want. I think the difference here is that although Id be keen on the odd actual remake, I really enjoy remasters for making some hard to get back into playable again. Until my god damn cart erased itself for no good reason. I had real trouble getting the medal for even the first level on 3DS whereas on 64 I was on the way to obtaining them all.

I never thought about the speed factor in StarFox, maybe thats why Im so much more shit at it now. The only reason I own it is because I received it as a birthday gift, but it turned out I loved it. I went into OoT with the same feeling, having bought many copies myself.
