Message: [QUOTE="Doomstruck, post: 178911, member: 104508"] Remakes are fine, sometimes can even be great, but the idea that good games NEED them after enough time passes is poisonous. A modern port would be nice for games, like take a game people already loved, make it more stable for modern systems, maybe throw in a few extra bits if you're feeling up to it. My real biggest issue with remakes is it feels like they're rapidly turning into the same type of content slop that Disney's been pushing for with its "live action" adaptations of their older movies, where they need to repackage what we already know to sell it to us again. Remakes have been hitting a similar frustration point for even smaller time gaps. It's one thing if it's different enough to be its own game, like some remakes of old NES games, but even in cases like RE4 (a remake I think actually looks fantastic) the perception that capcom NEEDED to do a remake of it was baffling to me since the game holds up so well to this day. What I'd really love to see is remakes of games that had a good idea but either failed outright or still have frustrating issues, games like metal arms: glitch in the system on the mild end or NeverDead on the extreme end, and I think some developers are getting the same idea. While not a full remake, shadows of the damned: hella remastered is getting where I want to see us go in terms of which games get a second chance. TL:DR ff7 remake is fun but where's the stretch panic remake [/QUOTE]
