First time out of the vault
Probably unlike others on this forum, my game nirvana is not connected to any of these F1-2 games (although I enjoy them a lot), on my gaming pedestal is sitting for many years Ultima Underworld 2, which I played during my first years on high-school, on (at that time very powerful machine) 386 with some VGA monitor and cranky speakers (and boy, I miss those great times!).
I can spend endless hours enumerating it's perfect features, how the graphic was (hey, still is!) great and how the story/dialogs is fulfilling. And I would also be very disappointed if someone would like to change it to some different game concept (e.g. iso-metric view with turn-based combat
.
But as they say, you never step twice into same river; everything is subjective and changes constantly. That same wonderful feelings of game joy when I originally played UU2 will never come back (even if I try to play it through some emulators) and there is probably no other game that will bring same (or closely similar) joy.
Meaning, the game experience that you had while playing e.g. F1-2 first (or second/third) time will never come back with another game as it was not only about the game, but also about your surroundings, family, weather, girlfriend and who knows what else (my mother will definitely not yell at me now to clean my room while I guiltily reach for next level or kill that bastard…).
These memories are part of what we remember best from our past and there is very little that can be changed about that.
So you evolve (as the world around you), you add to your previous experiences lot of other new ones and many other influences. There will be many external attempts to change your point-of-view by some new/different inputs, but still F1-2/UU2/Pong/Arkanoid/System Shock/Diablo/Deus EX/Crysis/Bishock/ME/… will be always best to you no matter what ( you remember when your grandma is saying that the grass was greener in her youth, right ?).
Conclusion
For those who are locked in F-world and F1-2 is their mythical kalokagatia, all attempts to revive the franchise will look like blunt desecration of their idols, no matters what other will deliver/say/dispute, there will be always something to complain about (and I’m very interested in that Fallout MMO that will be created by the original team, because they surely also evolved during those years and who know in which direction
For others who "just" like the F-world and do not dwell endlessly in its “river”, the rants of previous group about F3 will look like nitpicking, problem-chasing and shi&$ing on very good game that is valid successor of previous parts.
p.s. side note, at least you, true F-idolaters; you have huge fan-base with many mods to soak again and again into the F-universe, unlike the lingering world of UU2 Not mentioning that “somebody” is making new installation for you!!!
