Any games where a remaster could never stack up to the original.

Inspired by this post, asking the opposite, what games do you think are worthy of a remaster: https://lemmy.ml/post/6091201

    I would have said dead space until the remake came out and blew me away. So if the devs really care about it no game is untouchable to me. You can always play the original.

        Not just what it looks like, but the soundtrack, too. Perfect example: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2. I refuse to buy it because (aside from the always online bullshit) it doesn’t have the complete original soundtrack and instead has new, complete garbage. I’m sure it’s a licensing thing, but I feel that if they had the rights to use it in the original, that should carry over to the remaster.

          That’s a great point, a lot of original soundtracks disappear. It sometimes happens with TV shows as well

          Need to wait for a modder to fix it so you get the best of both worlds

      I’d say the same thing about resident evil 2 and to an extent resident evil 3.

        I think the re2+3 remakes are great games, but I don’t think they’re better than the originals. 3 especially felt really cut and dumbed down compared to it’s source. I think I put 40 hours into the original story, and beat the remake in about 6.

          I agree that they are not better than the originals. I still prefer the tank controls.
