I never touched either of those games but I know people who are loyal to SD and I know there are games out there that have added past content with a fresher look so why not?
What about an ET/Brink map added to DB?
Many of the BRINK maps would fit. But they are also larger maps, with secret passages and even more elaborate trick-jumps.
Lots of indoor balconies, lofts, mezzanines. Actually I recall that back in the day, that was also a source of crticism: “Maps too big… Jumps too tricky… Escort missions go on forever…”
porting maps from different game (even if the devs are the same) tends not to work considering mechanics are different and things like character speed are different.
[spoiler]Its also a bit of a cop out[/spoiler]
Not a cop if
A It adds content
B They was awesome in the first place.
C due to B its a homage, and DEVS answer to the man who pays the check.
I believe for ET, they don’t own the IP so they are not able to do anything with that games content. For Brink, I really don’t know, it could be possible and it would be cool if they did.
Most of DBs maps are based on the ET ones. E.g. Bridge has nearly the same mechanic and routes like Goldrush.
Aren’t these licencing issues? Doesn’t Bethesda own rights to some content?
