“Revive or Ruin? The Hidden Science of Game Remakes | Best Gaming Podcast 525
From polygon-perfect nostalgia to ray-traced resurrection—this episode of The Best Gaming Podcast dissects the art, tech, and politics of remaking a classic. We pull back the dev-kit curtain with engine programmers, rights lawyers, and texture wizards to reveal:
- how publishers untangle decades-old licensing knots before a single polygon is touched;
- the forensic reverse-engineering that rebuilds lost source code line by line;
- why modern engines still struggle to mimic ’90s input latency and hit-box math;
- the tightrope between fan expectation (“don’t change a frame!”) and new-player access (“please add accessibility presets!”);
- QA horror stories, from broken save imports to HDR shadows that blow out iconic scenes;
