Seems like a bold claim to make, claiming that the code has been copied. If it was reverse-engineered, then the code should be legally redistributable as long as it doesn't contain amy copyrighted assets, right?
- dt2m 5y agothe problem here is that it wasn't reverse-engineered, in the cleanroom sense of the term. there were multiple references in the codebase to "not simply copy and paste the code from the IDA decompiler", so the legality gets a bit more dubious. as for why take2 wants to waste their time on this 15+ year old game, i have absolutely no idea. i highly doubt they can sell it any more to their target demographic of retro gamers, who've likely already bought it for ps2, steam and mobile...
- mahmoudhossam 5y agoI heard they're working on a remaster, so that might be a good motive.
- blibble 5y agono doubt vastly inferior to the community version like all their others
- not_really 5y agoGet ready for a new selection of mask designs and woke soundbytes for NPCs
- revolvingocelot 5y ago>woke soundbytes for NPCs That's too much effort. Why would they put more into the game? Think more along the lines of "radically curtailed music catalogue"
