N3xtGeN: Yeah, you are right, I starred some words, I shouldnt make a cesspool from this wonderful site, but I was so much pissed at that moment. Im sorry.
But still - this thing shouldnt see the light! Only the graphics and rules are the same, otherwise its a different game and much worse, I still cant get how can someone f*** up the AI so bad :( And the controls are horrible too. I hate so much this amateur remaking of old games for fast cash grab. And I hate casualizing of old games on tablets and even more when they just take a dumb tablet game and almost copy-paste it on PC. They just did all the worst things you can do with a game these days. I think they didnt care about the game at all, they just wanted to get easy money.
This thing is the prime example of whats wrong with todays gaming industry, only thing missing is some overpriced DLC, microtransactions (Im amazed they didnt think of this, it would be a good match with tablet game..) and online pass, oh wait, theres no multiplayer in this one... This is so sad.
Hi,
I presume you are familiar with the concept of irony ;-). However, the only thing I find amusing with Z (Remake) is that when it comes to what used to be fast scrolling (right mouse button) I now have to scroll in the opposite (!) direction - while normal scrolling still works as before. Otherwise, I am glad that I still have got both original versions (Z DOS and Win95) in German on CD. The GOG version allows me to enjoy Z in English so that I can compare both language versions.
(I am actually half-English and I have always fumed when I had to buy a game in the translated version in German (prior to being able to buying them on-line (I still remember what then used to be Virgin Games in London refusing to swap my diabolical (!!!) German versions (as if the proverbial 3-year-old had done them) of Cannon Fodder 1&2 for their English versions on the grounds that they apparently were not allowed (!!!) to do so while e.g. EA would have no problem whatsoever with swapping any German version I would send to their UK support folks for the according English version)) instead of in the English original - at least Z in German is translated reasonably well and really hilariously funny (!!!), particularly the cutscenes (however, they did get a couple of units wrong...). (Mind you, I also have got Z: Steel Soldiers in German and English - as well as what basically is Z3 - World War II: Frontline Command - also both in German and English - incredibly hard and still motivating (!)).
Cheers
Patrick
