Atari's Atari Classics Evolved is trying to add a fresh coat of paint to its long-aged franchises. A game like Pong has been reimagined for those with modern sensibilities, as seen in the picture above. But does this graphical makeover force the games to lose their character? And do they merely hide the fact that the gameplay is decades old? Certainly, an interesting concept -- check out our new screens below:
Gameplay is ages old but tried and true. To see graphical overhauls is always welcome. Keep the original formula and add a facelift and give it a budget price and I am sold.
Just updating the graphics is not enough for me. Pong was revolutionary because of the time it came out in. If they just add more to the graphics and not add anything to the gameplay, it won't be good by today's standards.
They came out with a new version of Asteroids about 7 years ago or so. Multiplayer and new twists and abilities made it really good.
