I guess this depends of the size of the episode, right? I like Manco's idea of splitting the game in two (one episode per CD) and I guess if OWI does that it shouldn't be more coffined.

I think they should split the game, at most, in one. I remember the Broken Age case, when they split the game in two (because of financial problems) and the second part came out gawd-bloody-awful and unpolished. And OWI isn't filthy rich right now, despite the, I guess, relatively good NnT sales. It's still indie. Not that big indie.

Yeah, I played it on NnT on Xbox One and had a great experience, so I guess I wasn't exposed to those issues and have a different vision of JAW's work than you do.
|
I try not to cloud my judgement by just my personal experience. Even if the game worked for me fine, but it wouldn't work well on other users' machines, I would still think there's something seriously wrong with it

Yeah I guess you're right, yet OWI never disappointed me in that area.

They dissapointed me plenty, with MO and SW (mostly with MO) releases on PC. And I do not accept the "it was a different studio that ported MO". It was a different studio that *they hired* but didn't control enough to make a good quality product.

The issue here is that this would mean asking them of doing twice the work they did for NnT for the same price, I don't think they can afford to ask more for (one piece of) AE than what they asked for NnT. I'd like them to find an other way too but I don't see how they would do it while maintaining the quality.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think AE had a bigger budget than AO had. Making an AE remake on the same budget that AO remake had would be a misunderstanding. And the costs of production must pay off. Either by increasing the price or by making more people play the game. I honestly don't think Soulstorm Brew would get more attention than NnT if they ignore the problems at hand like they do with NnT.
I think the MGS series is a good example of sequels/remakes done right. Each new game is incredibly polished and detailed. If, for example, they decided to remake first MGS* and did it like NnT, with choppy animation, lack of basic features, laggy cutscenes, broken mines etc. etc., there would be an *outrage* among the players, and many would decide to boycott the title.
*there is a remake of MGS. I haven't played it, but from what I've seen it's pretty damn faithful.
