The Witcher Remake and others should pull an FF7 and make big changes
With all these upcoming retellings like The Witcher Remake, Resident Evil 4, Dead Space and more, developers have a chance to take a leaf out of Square Enix’s book on Final Fantasy 7 and just get weird with it. And they should - nostalgia be damned.
We live in an age in which media exploits our nostalgia, making us point at our screens and go 'I know that thing' before even showing us anything of value. That's not to say all remakes are bad, exactly, but nostalgia is by definition limiting. Retrospective. Almost anti-creative. The FF7 Remake proves that, if developers are bold enough, they can find new and valuable treasures when revisiting the past.
