Older games you love that get a new release. which ones felt the same, which felt different?
Over the last year or so I have played through Hitman Absolution, new Tomb Raider, new Thief and Deus Ex HR. I didn't play much of the old Tomb Raider games or much of Deus ex (even though I own at least two copies of it).
However as I was playing thief I had a feeling like I had played this before and not in the same way I played old thief. It felt like a heavily modified Deus Ex HR/new tomb raider without guns. I eventually uninstalled the game due to the sound bugs and the story which left me confused and pissed me off.
So I went to Hitman. I was playing it like I played Bloodmoney or Contacts and I was doing a horrible job (based on my score). I soon figured out if I was going to hide in plain sight I would need to burn instinct so people would forget about me or just hide behind stuff with my stick cover abilities. eventually I got the feeling that I was playing Deus Ex HR with a stealth mod.
All four of those games felt different story wise and environment wise, but the gameplay they all seemed to work on the same rule set.
Has this happened to you in your favorite series? If so what game and what did it feel like?
