Remakes are an inherently dumb concept

Remakes are an inherently dumb concept.

They assume that something technologically dated is automatically bad. They treat old classics as games that need to be "fixed", when in reality those "flaws" are a part of the game's identity, intentional or not. Just because you can remove the fog in Silent Hill and make the draw distance better doesn't mean you should.

Stop trying to "fix" old games, and especially stop treating those fucking "fixed games" as replacements. The only acceptable remakes are the ones who are so drastically overhauled that they could essentially be considered new games.

No

Remakes are bad when they're just graphical updates, they're good when they actually change things and re-imagine parts of the game. Yakuza Kiwami is a thousand times better than Yakuza 1.

yes

no

thanks doc

Bet you like FF7R you fucking bootlicker

Only in certain respects, particularly Nishiki's development, cutting out missables, bringing the gameplay in-line with the modern games by having much smoother targeting and comboing, and a couple new substories.

Majima Everywhere actively ruins the game and destroys the most important style for Kiryu unless you fight Majima well over 30 times, Majima Everywhere also defeats the purpose of the few times he does attack you in the story because you're completely sick of him by that point, and you can encounter him after he's been stabbed via the mechanic when it's supposed to be a reveal in the story.

It continues Kiryu using Brawler/Rush/Beast when the entire point of them was to become DoD in 0, they got rid of unique boss movesets in favor of movesets from other games, and the changes to Komaki make him far less enjoyable to do. This is because it means you now have to grind the coliseum to get his skills instead of simply upgrading yourself AND upgrading is tied to Majima Everywhere so if you've met the C or A rank before you visit Komaki before chapters 6 and 11 respectively you won't be able to fight the Hannya Man to learn more moves from Komaki. Worst of all, the fart bomb hoodie was taken out.

That's a remaster not a remake

splitting the hairs

Some games like Spyro and SotC have the entire graphical style completely overhauled. They're borderline remakes.

Yeah they were made from the ground up. But people still think some games are remakes while they are only remasters. For example Xenoblade Definitive Edition, it's not a remake. FF7 is however

>They assume that something technologically dated is automatically bad.
wrong
remakes are fine, and some remakes are legitimately great
not every remake is ff7r

You're welcome to use the new definition of remake but please don't act like that was always the case. You're as bad as libtards saying racism is prejudice + power or whatever the fuck they're saying nowadays

Why do you have to be like this

they have a mental illness

They weren't trying to "fix" "flaws" with the screen you posted dipshit, the 3DS screen is darker than your average TV because the backlight needs to be power efficient, and on top of that the 3D effect makes things even darker.

>suddenly everyone who called REmake a remake is retroactively wrong because Capcom and Square decided to shit out new games and call them remakes
Okay man

Why did they make it so bright? Does it have something to do with the 3DS screen?

...

I don't want to play games with shitty graphics. How many Atari games do you play?

Yes, this is true. Old games and the work of the original devs should be celebrated and ported to as many platforms as possible, not hacked up by some remake team who have no connection to the original work.
FFX, one of SE's most successful games, has not received a single port to this day. The only legit way to play it is on a PS2. Why? So SE could sell that travesty of a Chinese hackjob called an HD remaster. Sad.

What? I literally don't understand what the fuck you are talking about.
Remake = a game made from the ground up
REmake 1,2,3
SoTC PS4
Link's Awakening Switch
to name a few

Depend.
Resident evil remake is good.
MGS twin snake is an abortion.
FF7R is a scam.

>they're good when they actually change things and re-imagine parts of the game
It's how they change things. Change for the sake of change is not inherently good.

Idk man, if an old game is recreated in a completely new engine then that seems to be to be a remake, like when a movie studio decides to make yet another movie adaptation of some classic story.
But if you take an existing game and update the assets and/or engine rather than recreating/porting the assets to a new engine, that seems to me to be a remaster, like when a studio releases some enhanced 4K blue ray shit of a classic film.

REmake 1 was just a graphical overhaul (at least as much as OoT 3D was, some QoL improvements too, and reshot dialogue), so it's a remaster by your own definition

it's used as a generic term, not to aruge with autistists that hold to a specific definition
>if the game is rereleased: remake

How is Xenoblade DE not a remake. It's made from the ground up.

>REmake 1 was just a graphical overhaul
So you've never played the game, huh...

I mean yeah, no shit, if they make a bad game then it's not good.

Eh, no?

Eh, yes? The Wii and the Switch don't have the same architecture so they can't use the same engine. They used 2's engine instead.

I love OOT 3d so much bros.
