What are your favorite remakes/remasters?

Silent Hill 2 Remake: honestly when this remake was announced, i was so worried about it due to Bloober Studio past and lack of Team Silent, but i was really happy with the final result.

Yeah a good friend of mine who loves SH2 was also super skeptical for this one said it was great too. Made me really want to try it out. Love the original.

Best Remake: RE1 (2002/HD Remaster). Just everything I liked about OG RE1, but more of it. Real Survival, Invisible Enemy and the Forest zombie sound atrocious, but even that's not enough to diminish my love for the game.

Best Remaster: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered. It was a toss-up between this and Doom I+II, but the latter had a bit of an unstable period, so TR1-3 gets the cake. It leaves the original games untouched save for some QOL changes, modern controls IF YOU WANT THEM, all three expansions, it's good shit. I wish the saves for the main game and expansions were separate, but that's a minor nitpick all things considered.

The Resident Evil remakes bar 3.

Crash N.Sane Trilogy and Team Racing Nitro Fueled.

Dead Space.

Mafia Definitive Edition.

Black Mesa.

Destroy All Humans 1 and 2.

And I'm hoping I can put MGS3 Delta on here when that comes out. I have yet to play their Silent Hill 2 Remake but I hear its good, so I hope that continues with Delta.

Black Mesa was so good. Kinda replaced the original for me honestly. Been thinking of replaying this week actually!

No better time than now. Theres a mod group doing a remake of Blue Shift in it, and it's endorsed by Crowbar Collective, almost done too. Hopefully we get versions of Opposing Force and Decay as well.

Most of mine have already been mentioned, though I'll still mention my favorites:

Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver felt like an improvement in just about every way from their GSC counterparts. Fire Red and Leaf Green are wonderful as well.

Metroid Zero Mission outright replaces the NES original for me, and the game is a joy to play. Samus has never felt better in 2D, in my opinion. (I haven't played Dread quite yet...)

I love Dragon Quest's Erdrick trilogy on both SNES and GBC! I'll mention that all of the console versions of these games are a delight. DQ2 is not for the faint of heart, though!

Spoiler: Heart...

Kingdom Hearts I and II in particular enjoy the Final Mix additions and more QoL features. They look great, and finally there are no load times when changing drive forms! My only criticisms are a lack of some extra toggles, like having the original audio and colors of the Heartless.

If you are reading this, I never mentioned that I've played two games in this series. This spoiler does not exist.
