I absolutely adore this game, but imo it's a terrible candidate for a remaster. The graphics were already stylized so I doubt a graphics update would make much difference. It's a puzzle game so the replayability is already low. And I can't imagine that developer commentary get people excited about buying the game again.

I wish this was successful, but I can see why this went sideways.

This is probably one of the last games that needed a remaster. Everyone knew that besides Jonathan Blow it seems.

I played Braid ages ago, and it was okay. I can see it being influential when it first came out when there wasn't many indie games.

Don't think I really want to play it again though - it told it's story and that was that. Unless it adds tons more levels or something, I'm not sure what value the remaster adds.

It's sadly one of many "platformers with interesting mechanics but slow and clunky controls" that the industry has moved away from.

I had no idea it was even released.

Yeah this title wasn't begging for a remaster.

It was interesting, at the time, but far more interesting, thoughtful, and artistic indie games have popped up since.

It's artstyle isn't as unique as it was on release, nor is the gameplay. It's no small wonder it did not do well.

This guy must have been huffing his own farts thinking this was a good time and market to do it in.

It's never been tougher for indie games, and people are outright bored by linear narratives. Braid is presented with events out-of-order but it still tells a linear story.

Much more complex narratives exist now, and Braid just can't compete on that level.

I'm rather unfamiliar with this game and even I know a remaster would not have done well

That's fair. I played the game once and then had enough. Don't see a need to play it again

Tried braid and got bored real quick.

Tried fez and didn't even continue past the first 30 min

Tried Undertale, but basically knew the story already from spoilers, and it was kinda boring, uninteresting and too hard.

Played Crashlands and it was a grindfest that actually made me relieved that I finished the game, only to discover it was planet 1 of 3. 👉Uninstalled.

Really enjoyed fear and hunger despite being shit at the game and ended up just cheating. (Was still freaking hard 😭)

Finished and enjoyed Limbo.

I just want a game with a great story, a gameplay with medium low difficulty that isn't a grindfest and isn't too long ( usually caused by the endless grinding).

Always wanted to try this. I might have to grab this when i have an extra $20

Dang, it has a dev commentary? I think that’s worth replaying for. I’ll have to pick it up… sometime!

This news has definitely given him some sales for sure
