Title: Do you often replay re-released campaigns?
Post by: Lepanto on November 04, 2013, 11:13:08 pm

If a campaign you liked gets re-released, with graphics updates, bugfixes, or whatever, would you probably play it all the way through again? Or do you not want to sit through a campaign you already played again? Of course, some re-releases (like the voiced AoA Director's Cut) are more attractive than others, but what's people's opinion in general?

I'm intellectually curious if people actually play updated re-releases, and therefore, whether it's worth it for campaign makers to put in the effort to fix up their campaigns for re-release.

I'd play a campaign again if the graphics were updated or there were other noticeable changes (such as bug fixes to campaigns that needed them).

I'm hoping Incursion and Return To Sol get a re-release, I'd love to play them in SCP.

Probably only if I really liked the original campaign.

I'm with Rodo on this subject, but the inclusion of voicacting is also a reason why I would play a re-release.

Me too.

I eventually replay stuff I like anyway, so if it's getting new shiny stuff, that's even more of an incentive.

(now I just need to get myself playing stuff again...)

I'd always wanted to replay the Freespace games, and since I never got to play the first one, I decided "Why not?" and got 'em both. Ad thru the amazing people here, I get to experience a classic with loads of new graphics and bugfixes and what-not.

So sure, if older campaigns are re-released with lots of polish & new stuff, I'd get 'em  too! :D

My sentiments exactly.

Replaying campaigns requires playing them the first time, so no :nervous:

I've played a few old campaigns, but I've also discovered new ones through the FSCRP. My desire to replay it is generally linked to how much I enjoyed it/wanted to enjoy it the first time around.
