I'll take the Klona collection if you won't only ever got to play the 2nd fromrenting it at Blockbuster a single time.

I think a lot of people will enjoy the collection, I simply get the impression that it's becoming increasingly convenient to re-release older titles that a lot of newer gamers may have not played as an alternative to making a brand new one.

I'm sure this is fine for a number of people, but it's disappointing to people like myself that have exhausted the old games and are left pining for a sequel. It's true that it might help revitalise interest for a sequel but I really don't want to support that as some sort of necessity or common practice just to get a sequel these days.

@sheria Yeah I just think companies are too afraid to launch straight into sequels of niche games that didn't even sell all that well when they first came out, without gauging interesting first with a rerelease of the old games, which is lower budget and lower effort so lower risk. Also they've built up that positive sentiment over time, so they're fairly confident people will like the final product too instead of potentially ending up with a Yooka Laylee situation.
