A video game that happens to get big updates every so often...? Call 'em expansion packs if that makes life easier

And that there are apparently several alien species concurrently living underneath London at any given time.

Doom, of course!

Also, OpenRCT2, and Unreal Tournament.

So when we actually do have AI, what are we supposed to call it? The current use of the term "AI" is too ambiguous to be of any use.

I can't believe they're remastering Combat Evolved again, but not Halo 3.

Well, as long as they do a better job than the original CE Anniversary, I'll probably play it.

And also a belly button but is apparently wearing shorts...?

I hate to be nitpicky; but that's a decompilation, not a demake.

'Demake' usually refers to a game that gets remade for a system older (or less powerful) than the one it was released for. A good current example is the in-progress Super Mario 64 demake for GBA.

'Decompilation' is where one reverse-engineers a game (or any software!) back to its original source code, or close enough that when you build it, it's identical to an original copy. So, the goal of the Lego Island demake is to produce source code that can be built into a fully binary-compatible copy of Lego Island, indistinct from what's on the original CD.

I agree with your statement. However, what I believe the original comment was saying is that if the developers who have lost their jobs were to get together and make a game as they describe, then they would buy it. The malice was directed at Microsoft and so on.

At least, that's how I read it...

Abandonware isn't really legally defined

I'm a little confused, why is this news? They're updating their site design?

The replies don't help much, either, unless they're being ironically hyperbolic...
