with all due respect, there's Wings of Silicone if you want a remake
With all due respect, why you diss him for doing basically the same as Wings of Silicon then?
Also, from at least one comment just a little your initial one, it seems not everybody feels WoS has done that awesomely as a sucessor either.
To be clear - i have no opinion about WoS either way, to be direct and fair i had never heard of it until i read the last dozen posts (in fact going to play it for the first time in a few minutes, so thanks for the recommendation).
But i can understand some people prefering more of a "straight port" than an adaptation/homage or feeling that "betting on many horses in the same race" is a fine and safe strategy, so to speak.
Also aware of why doing a sequel or remake of abandoned games is something most Devs do not go for, even though a quite frequent suggestion by fans in such threads - so i undestand your doubts about someone appearing to do exactly such a thing, but also feel it's too soon to assume with how little has been said or shown. Time will tell for certain where such dreams & hopes shall lead.
