Message: [QUOTE="YuriSukiSan, post: 24871, member: 97866"] I think mentioning Warcraft 3 Reforged or anything touched by Blizzard lately would be cheating! I can't say I was a big fan of what was mentioned in the OP either, Bluepoint just bastardized DeS. They did the same too SotC as well, or at least I think they did! When even Kotaku writers are critiquing how the change of lighting fundamentally affects the feel of the game you know there's a problem. It's like some devs are biologically incapable of understanding that the tone, the aesthetic, the lighting, everything was purposefully chosen for those games and altering them in any way drastically changes what it conveys to the player. Also, they totally gave the Wanderer the Bogpill, his face is just totally bogged. My own personal pick would have to be Toys for Bob's version of Spyro. I know they were mostly well intentioned but they fundamentally changed how many of the NPCs looked and felt. It just feels like they took a lot of liberties. It's not quite as bad as basing the Flamelurker on Diablo rather than - you know - the Flamelurker but it's clear it was their own version of what they thought Spyro should be rather than a faithful 1:1 recreation. And I think that's my biggest gripe with a lot of remasters, it seems to be about taking someone elses lineage or achievement to pass it off as your own. [/QUOTE]
