Message: [QUOTE="IyoTheHelpfulWolf, post: 162705, member: 73981"] Remasters are a good way to make a game more accessible with things like control tweaks and other adjustments for modern hardware as long as the original intent and spirit of the design stays mostly in tact. Even if I personally have no need for a remaster, it can be a great way to reach more people and gauge interest in the IP without too much commitment. In an ideal world, there would be nothing wrong with remakes. Were time and money unlimited, there would be no drawbacks to having more variations of a thing apart from having to decide which one to play. But we live in a world where time, money, and energy are finite resources and those resources must be spent wisely. I would rather those resources be spent on games that felt like they had untapped potential, either because the games were flawed with good ideas or because they were very ahead of their time and held back by hardware limitations. Instead, games that were already fantastic are the first to get remade because stuff people already like with a new coat of paint is what sells. [/QUOTE]
