That's the whole trick about sequels isn't it? A delicate balance that is too often broken. There are only a few that work, and many that do destroy long-time fan's hopes (NiGHTS, I'm looking at you).Adderall wrote:space channel 5 is great for nostalgia, but the rhythm game genre has progressed so much that the re-make would have to have a lot of new features to keep up. If not, people who have never played the first one will think it isn't very good. On the other hand, if they bring it up to speed it may loose it's congruity with the old version and old school fans may not like it.....
I would hope for another SC5 that does add a lot but still feels like it belongs in the series. If Mizu feels he REALLY has nothing to add, then that's fine. I think he COULD think of a few cool things, though. I'm hoping for something great from him, not another puzzle game (no matter how good).
