A full-on re-imagining would take <em>a lot<\/em> longer to develop than a graphical overhaul, and we are talking about a package that includes not one, not two, but <em>three<\/em> games here.<\/p>\n<p>There are basically two types of remakes in gaming. The first is the kind that the masters over at Bluepoint create, like Demon&#8217;s Souls and Shadow of the Colossus. The gameplay, the systems, the mechanics \u2014 all of that stuff stays the same, but they become encased within state-of-the-art visuals.<\/p>\n<p>The second style of remake tends to be a lot more ambitious; these ones usually take older titles and remake them in the proper sense of the word. We almost hesitate to say it, but Final Fantasy 7 Remake falls into this category; a totally modernised, re-imagined take on a classic.<\/p>\n<p>A less contentious example would be Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter \u2014 a ground-up remake that takes an old isometric RPG and transforms it into a fully 3D adventure that borrows gameplay systems and mechanics from current games in the same series.<\/p>\n<p>So, back to God of War, what would the first three games look like <em>if<\/em> they were recreated in the style of Kratos&#8217; more recent adventures? Is that just utterly unrealistic? Or could it actually happen? What if Santa Monica Studio&#8217;s intention is to have the original trilogy fall in line with Ragnarok in order to make one completely cohesive series?<\/p>\n<p>For what it&#8217;s worth, we do think it&#8217;s rather unrealistic to expect that level of work across three whole titles \u2014 three titles that are widely considered stone-cold classics, we should add.<\/p>\n<p>Because at that point, you&#8217;re basically making three new games. Outside of Kratos&#8217; Blades of Chaos moveset, what else is pretty much ready to go?<\/p>\n<p>The level design, for instance, would need to be totally redone to accommodate a free over-the-shoulder camera. And on top of that, enemies would need to be completely recreated to work with the new combat system. This is starting to sound a bit ridiculous&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But assuming it <em>is<\/em> possible, would <em>you<\/em> want Trilogy Remake to attempt such a thing? That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re here to find out.
