August 2021 Podcast: Remakes, Remasters, or Re-releases?

Welcome to the August podcast! This month our focus is on remakes, remasters, and re-releases. What makes a good remake, when is a remaster the better choice, or should developers respect the original? We get a lot of re-things these days, and the relationship between the original and the new is an important discussion to have in the context of games as an art form, so we have an in-depth chat about that this week. As well as that, we chat about all the games coming out in August, and share some of our picks for the month.
