Andy's by himself this week, and the recent Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Remastered news has him feeling very nostalgic. So here I am, growing older all the time... Remasters and remakes of our favorite video games have become commonplace as many companies are running out of ideas. Instead of coming up with original IPs, they're putting "if it aint broke, don't fix it" into real world practice. Make old stuff cool again, and that'll buy you some time to think of something new. They keep bringing our childhood back, and we keep lining up to buy it every single time. It's a fine business model to have; just make sure you're picking the right games. Andy goes back in time and spends this episode discussing some titles that he would give the remaster/remake treatment if he were in charge. He's never going to be in that position, but let's just humor him anyway. Some are considered mega hits that would hold up today, and others are more obscure games that might reach a broader audience in a more modern generation with updated visuals and gameplay. Instead of getting Skyrim for the 3,000th time, maybe these classics will make a comeback. We can only hope.
