@EA_Barryma Well,re-launch a old title requires lincenses to old songs and parts and cars（Such as 112i in NFSII and Italdesign concepts）and EA maybe too lazy to renew the obtainable licenses,but the unobtainable（Such as 112i and HSV GTS 2002）means they can only be gone.A good reason Burnout got remastered re-launch is the cars are MFG fake cars,so no license problem,and most songs arent hard to renew the license(let alone classic music and EA owned Burnout Original music)So it's easy for Burnout hard for NFS
- @GK3512 When it comes too the music part it is no problem, since Rom Di Prisco said too a fan. That EA owned the rights too his songs, that was used in the old NFS games. That is why you dont find those songs, on his channel on spotify. But when it comes too the car, that shouldent be a problem either. Since most of those cars still exist today, so EA should have no proble sorting that out.
- @BVBgamer88 Well,cars like concept hardly get license renew,hence why concept/proto hardly continously being in different games(LeMans Quattro/112i for example)
Seems like licence requirements would depend if a re-launch could be considered as selling the existing older games with patches to switch from media based copy protection to digital protection, as opposed to selling new versions of older games. Ignoring the license issue, the main problem would be the people that worked on the older games are long gone, and may be missing documentation, development tools, and source code.
- @rcgldr I dont think that should be a problem, im pretty sure most of those guys are still alive. I mean it isent more then 19-20 years since, they made their last game. Before they handed it over too Black Box, but i think they started on other project after that.
- @BVBgamer88 So the main issue is still the license to cars.Black box are harder for the focus on tuners led to the need for Toyota(Which still mumble about the problem of license)And the classic era game maybe possible if we dont count concept cars(Glad Ferrari returns)
