The gaming world is abuzz with the news of Shadows of the Damned Remaster, a game that brings together two titans of Japanese game development, Shinji Mikami and Goichi Suda. In a recent interview, Mikami shared his thoughts on the remaster and the importance of preserving game history.
According to Mikami, when it comes to remastering old work, he doesn’t feel the need to change things a lot. He believes that if a game is going to be remade or remastered according to modern day standards, then it’s essential to change what needs to be changed. However, Suda has a different approach, stating that he would rather do a full-on remake instead of just a remaster if he wants to change things.
Both Mikami and Suda emphasize the importance of game preservation and making sure that their past titles are still playable today. Suda mentioned that Grasshopper has been discussing with their group about having an actual playable catalogue of their games. As for future plans, Suda expressed interest in revisiting Killer 7, a game that has a unique style that’s yet to be replicated.
