Books don't age

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

If you can't appreciate good gameplay cause the pictures are black and white or too primitive you're fucking missing out. Quality gameplay is as timeless as storytelling.

>films don't age
Every time someone discusses either Ace Ventura movie today, they need to have a disclaimer about how it was a different time and that they're not transphobic or racist for liking them.
Forced aging, to be fair.

Books, films, and music can age, but individual pieces are often unique and irriplacable. Nobody is going to say "don't read Shakespeare, read Shakespeare2, it's better". However, graphics and technology used in games are often superceded unless a game has a unique artstyle and gameplay. You could definitely say the wii's motion controls have been outdone by the switch, so most wii games with shitty controls are considered "not having aged well". Special effects in older films are usually criticized as well since we have better technology

Books absolutely age. Madame Bovary was revolutionary in its day but now it's the glorified diary of a woman who likes to cheat because life is boring. I would argue that music ages too, especially if they're emblematic of some formalist trend.

fantastic taste but that's still 50 years after the medium first started churning them out

OP is a faggot and you read his post.

All of those things literally and figuratively age, and the worst examples of them are forgotten to time for being shitty by later standards.

Books, film, and music only don't age because we're long past the infancy of the medium. Nobody watches silent films that are fifteen minutes long anymore.

Would be cool if Yas Forums did exactly that.

there is no such thing as a book remake, so you're right on that

films and music DO age. you don't see many silent film enthusiasts or fans of swing.

also good luck playing that tron game 20 years from now, you know the one that got taken down and nobody cracked/emulated

Films and music age, but books and video games don't.

literally nobody irl prefaces ace ventura with those thoughts outside of twitter or retardera

What if someone still has the Tron 2.0 disk?

>there is no such thing as a book remake
Only because we don't call them that, books get updated with new language and have content added or cut all the time.

>there is no such thing as a book remake
nigga are you daft

It's about interactivity. Technology as a language changes and standards change, so it's harder to be involved in the older generations.

lefties don't understand forgiveness to people having ideas they don't agree with. It's no use to try to teach them.

disks suffer from bit rot after 20 years

You have a point with books because it's firmly rooted in the reader's imagination but films,music and games definitely have aged because of newer innovations and development/production techniques.

>there is no such thing as a book remake
Imagine if Gatsby decided to stop being such an orbiter only for time ghosts to drag him to Daisy once again.

There are plenty examples of book "remakes", such as comparing the original publication of On The Road with it's fake names and cut paragraphs to the version that's intact with the original writing, but even then both are still transcribed from Keouac's fuckhuge typewriter

>music doesn't age
True, i listen to this
youtube.com/watch?v=mNGF9n_y8RY
And it sounds just like something i would hear and enjoy on the radio today as i'm sure you would too. Don't know why these plebs can't accept the ageless fidelity of the Edison cylinder and the like, it's just as good and convenient and acceptable to modern standards as the mp3.

100 years from now someone on an anonymous image board will say the same about all the animal meat eaters of today.

Blaming someone for holding the same beliefs as everyone else did back then is pretty unrealistic.

Oh and adding to this, there are tons of classic fables and stories that are retold every so often. Think of how many versions of Cinderella or Snow White exist.

Chad as fuck.

Try reading the original Sherlock Holmes stories before they were "translated" into more modern English.

>you don't see many silent film enthusiasts or fans of swing
Silent films weren't that great, they were a novelty of the time. Also yeah, people still fucking love classical music that was made hundreds of years ago.

"This game has aged poorly" is usually a code for the game having a control scheme that the player is not used to. Now a days almost every game has the same control scheme. If it's a shooter there's a high chance it will have an ADS button, a run button, and reloading. Every action game now has some sort of Z targeting system. If you play an older game with non conventional controls like Resient Evil, then they're going to have a knee jerk reaction because it doesn't use one of the three commonly used control schemes.

Resident Evil has been beaten without taking any damage, and is factually a control scheme that can reliably allow flawless play. Saying it's controls are bad is just factually wrong.

That's completely besides the point, people would primarily listen to live music back then. A recording like that was largely seen as a novelty.
