I can't think of any other entertainment medium where genuine fans are told to just accept that "IT'S NOT FOR YOU!!!" when it's a remake of something you care about. It's like if Blizzard decided to remake Diablo and then made it turn based and Diablo fans rightly have a problem with that because they liked how it was before and then some fucker goes and says,"IT'S NOT FOR YOU!!!" There's entitlement and then there's that. I can’t think of a single game remake where people tell fans of the original to just suck it up and accept that it’s not for them.
Um every forum of media that has lasted a while and has fans that can't accept that things change.
Fans like:
X-men fans who can't accept that the 90s are over.
Batman fans who can't accept that he has sidekicks.
James Bond fans who can't accept that the movies tried to be more realistic.
Star Wars fans who don't want anything but the original trilogy.
Gundam fans who just want the UC.
Warcraft fans mad about WoW
and so on.
All long in the tooth franchises have fans who can't accept that the thing they like has changed over time and with time. And then annoyingly hate on new installments regardless if they are remakes or not.
"How dare they touch this classic X-men story"
"This remake of Casino Royale is dumb"
"Fuck them they are just remaking A New Hope"
"They are just copying UC, this show is stupid"
"Man it was really dumb what Rob Zombie did to Michel Myers. That origin was stupid"
"These new Power Rangers are lame and the stories not as good as Mighty Motphin"
"How dare they remake this. The main character is'nt supposed to be ___"
And I think you're misreading. I'm not saying it's not for you as a general idea or "well clearly this is made for new fans". I'm speaking directly to you. You're the type of fan who is'nt open minded to anything that dosen't 100% cater to thier likes. Thier are plenty of older fans who aren't like this. And clearly just by fact that it exists Square is making this game for them.
I'm through with this conversation.
Thank god. But I'm sure when the game comes out, you'll cry more.
