We’re all dying from flu here at Jimquisition Headquarters. It’s not coronavirus! Anyway, let’s talk about remakes, their critical acclaim, and what their success says about the industry.
With Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and Final Fantasy VII Remake on the horizon, it’s a good time for nostalgic reimaginings. And why wouldn’t it be? They’re more exciting than the new stuff!

That’s a paddlin’.
And then there’s Warcraft 3: Reforged…
Oooo I can’t wait to see Jim Sterling in his little hat and tie this week.
well i am not against remakes when they do it great, its great i am getting old and living inbetween old 32 bit games to full 4k games and nostalgia is heavy on me.
An updated old game for me is great i can play an old game with better graphics updated controls.
but still i have patience check reviews before buying.
It figures that the Jim goes out sick when he does a positive story… Get well soon and thank God for you.
“… and this, Johnny, is why we don’t use animatronics from literal hell in our graphic design classes.”
I feel seen and attacked… I love Enchanted Arms and Shadowbringers and he so casually tossed my feeling on the floor T.T

Oh Jim as MMOs go Final Fantasy 14 shadowbringers is the best one for this decade.
“Some FF bollocks”
The rest of this video earns enough good will to get a pass on that take
That said, the rest of the video is spot on. Says a lot that CTR was one of the most beloved and refreshing takes on a racer in some fuckin time and was beloved by the community, until *_the fuckin SECOND_* Activision couldn’t help themselves and monetized the crap outta it.
Part of Divinity’s appeal is being a turn-based RPG. You know, the “outdated” genre the industry declared dead all the time, we all want realtime RPGs I hear. Just like all the other RPGs the industry has no faith in.
“Final fantasy bollocks”
Comment section: we will have your head on a pike
“I will now talk about Resident Evil and FFVII remake for about 13 minutes.”
Man, I miss me some TotalBiscuit
Jim: “It isn’t Coronavirus”
Everyone: “That’s what someone with Coronavirus would say”
