Message: [QUOTE="Zachery2112, post: 179125, member: 214443"] As a guy who has now made his career talking about ports and remakes especially, I feel like most of the time a remake is made as a product and not for art's sake. Often times they are made to judge whether an IP is still profitable or for a publisher to make some quick money during a lull period. That being said, there are plenty of remakes that try to go above and beyond what the original one was. Most of the good ones are RPGs since that genre tends to have the most area to grow. All in all though, art is lightning in a bottle so video games are too. It is next to impossible to capture the spirit of a game. This makes remakes inherently flawed. But I choose to look at remakes as separate from their progenitors. [/QUOTE]
