Are Remakes Bad for Gaming? 

I like your neutral takes and how you list both pros and cons. A lot of people lack this ability.

I’m just tired of them. Now a days, you see nothing but remakes, hell this year alone we’ve had Dead Space, Resident Evil 4, MGS3 announced, Persona 3 just got announced, even games that don’t need a remake like The Last of Us got remade again. It’s not that I hate them , it’s the fact that we’re remaking games that don’t need to be remade. For example I don’t think a game released in the PS3/360 era needs a remake, I’m sorry. I would much rather see a new IP being made, than a game I already played, It basically boils down to, so instead of making something new, they’re just trying to cash in on people’s nostalgia.

I sort of object to using footage of FF7 ps1 whilst talking about "outdated originals", especially given how the FF7 remake is a vastly different experience, literqlly tells a different story (so far), and seems to depend on the player having knowledge from the original game, to the point where many who played both would consider the game titled "remake" to actually be more of a sequel than a remake.

If the remake helps an older franchise regain popularity and continue (like crash bandicoot n sane leading to its about time) or adds a new campaign( like kirby return to dremland) theyre alright to me

In Super Mario Bros., you actually could continue from your current world if you got a game over if you held the A button while starting a new game, and in Lost Levels this was standardized into an actual menu for full infinite continues. As for Super Mario Bros. 2 USA, you DID have continues to keep playing from your current world rather than starting the whole game over, you just had a limited amount of them unlike in the other games.

I think it's worth acknowledging that game preservation is important, and if you don't want to get into emulation, modern remakes are usually your only method of acquiring said game. The point of controversy though is when a remake makes enough changes that it feels less like a replacment and moreso its own thing. It's a hard line to balance when it comes to fan reception depending on your intentions with said remake. Are you going to make it as faithfull to the original as possible, or do you want to make major changes that you believe could improve upon the experience? I know Demon Souls fans were left confused on the PS5 remake because they felt it was different enough while also remaining very faithfull to the original, so they find it akward trying to make it fill the same spot as the original. Then you have a remake like Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes which was contentious amongst fans of the original because of changes to the overall tone, as well as copying the gameplay from MGS2 which unintentionally broke the balance of the game since it wasn't designed with 2's mechanics in mind.

I'm in agreement with your opinion at the end. I don't mind remix. In fact I absolutely loved Kirby Superstar on the SNES. I played it as a kid and as a teenager and even as an adult, but when Kirby Superstar ultra came out for the DS I was happy to play that as well. It may have had to do with the fact that it was a portable game so I could actually for The first time play Kirby Superstar on the go. Of course nowadays you can do that with the original Kirby Superstar by playing it on the switch through the SNES online service, but back then that wasn't a thing and I sometimes like going back to Kirby Superstar ultra because of the new features and the new modes and so on. I do wish that days of ruin was the advance Wars game that they remade because that was easily the best advanced Wars game as it was the most balanced with some price changes and some changes to power and defense and I liked that you could actually put your navel forces under bridges so you can actually have them not be stuck because of bridges, but ultimately I am pretty happy that Advance wars is back at all. And the first two games are fun anyway. They have the more fun campaign honestly. They have more personality. Still days of ruin is the best game, but I guess people just preferred one and two because of how more cartoonish it is compared to how serious days of ruin is. I just hope someday they finally make a fifth advance Wars game. That would be awesome! At a sniper so there could be an infantry that can capture buildings and can attack from a distance. At a missile sub so there could be another submarine unit that can dive underwater so only units next to it can see it and only a few units can attack it. Of course the balance is that when it's dived underwater it uses up more fuel so sometimes you got to rise it up above the water Just like with the regular submarine. Differences the missile sub would only be able to launch missiles at a distance and only hit ground forces. The reason why I think that would be the right decision is to balance it. If the missile sub could attack ground forces and naval forces I feel like it would unbalance things because it would be hidden underwater and able to attack all other naval threats from a distance which would be incredibly unfair.

While I agree for the most part, there was one section that stood out to me. At 7:45, you go about how "When was the last time you heard someone talk about x?" and I couldn't help but laugh a little. "Advanced War"? I think it was literally the same week the remake was announced. The channel whoisthisgit brings up the series on occasion, either to highlight mechanics, analyze certain stages, general overviews of entries, etc. "Pac Man World"? James (Nitrorad) covered the entire series in a set of reviews within I think a month or two prior the remakes getting announced. "Spyro"? I'd been watching speedrunning history videos on some of the entries. And I think it was either Caddicarus, SomecallmeJohnny, or another channel which talked about the series for one reason or another around the same time as well. Just a matter of perspective I guess.

I'd rather have companies focus on making new IPs than rely on remakes.

You might think remakes are bad, but let's be honest, we all wanted a faithful remake of GTA 3, San Andreas and Vice City. We weren't disappointed until we saw what we got.

something i love about your videos is how you always get straight to the point

MM Legacy collection was not a remake, it's a rerelease of old roms and MM11 wasn't made because of MMLC it was most likely a response to the absolute failure of Mighty No 9 and Capcom seeing that there was an audience for classic Mega Man

Also sometimes remakes for certain games are very difficult to even start. Not because no one can physically do it but due to legal reasons, specifically licensing. Games that are very heavy on the licensed content, such as racing games that use real world car brands, have to get their approval in order to renew the licenses and get the remake ball rolling which can cost a lot of money. This is why games like Forza get removed from online stores due to licenses expiring and because of that they legally cant keep them up on the storefront. Other remakes like the N-Sane Trilogy only require whoever owns the IP to give the green light to do it. Remakes for games like Need for Speed: Most Wanted however will need to have tons of cash to be spent just for the right to put it back on storefronts (and given the Need For Speed series is owned by EA...)

Man I just subscribed to your channel like some months ago and every video you publish is like you telling me: “you had a rough day, now come and relaxe” Your videos are so chill and unique in a way that makes them more enjoyable the more I watch them and your smooth beautiful voice (no homo) is so relaxing and fits perfectly for your type of content. I really love your channel and your content and you definitely deserve more attention tho I guess it’s better to stay like this since everything which gets popular losses it’s originality and uniqueness and gets consumed by children demanding Fortnite videos. Keep it you brother ❤

Fire emblem remakes, IMO, are great. It helps to experience and know the stories of games that never came out of Japan

I like this video, you give each side a fair look regardless of what your stance is, I wish more game essay videos were like this 👌

Good remakes can foster originality. Let's look at Fire Emblem. Echoes, the 15th game, is a remake of the 2nd game on NES. Like many 2nd games on NES, it was very different from the rest of the series. In most FE games, spells are a limited resource that can be given to any mage. In FE2 and FE15, each mage has a unique list of spells that are learned at a certain level and can be used forever. In most FE games, promoting to an advanced class gives a set bonus to each stat. In FE2 and FE15, promoting raises any base stat below the advanced class's bases to those bases, with no bonus in any other stat. FE15 also expanded on FE2's magic system by adding combat arts, which were unique attacks that could be learned, kept, and used infinitely by any physical character, essentially functioning as physical spells. FE16, Three Houses, is the best selling game in the series, and carries over tons of mechanics that were only seen in FE2 and its remake, FE15, the prior game. Three Houses allows any unit to access any class, but they all have access to unique combat arts and spells that prevent all units from feeling the same. Each unit can also function in each class, because no matter what stats they have, promoting will bring them up to that class's base stats, ensuring that they always have the stat distribution they need. Three House's greatest innovation was its class system, and it was made by looking back to old ideas that, aside from the prior remake, hadn't been used since the NES. The remake brought forgotten ideas back to the series and those ideas bred innovation. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is a shining beacon of what a good remake should be.

Remakes have gotten a bit much as of late but I remember years ago the leap from the N64 to the GameCube you can remake every game and I would've enjoyed that

A "Pro Tip" for RE(make) is to always try to stack zombie corpses somewhere on top of each other to save on lighter fluid. P.S. If you hold "A" in Super Mario Bros. on NES when you choose "Start" on the main menu, you will then restart at the beginning of the World you last died on...the more you know!

I'm still waiting for the Prince of Persia Sands of Time remake. I don't even care that the trailer from years ago made it look like a PS3 game.

I think as long as a remake is treated with respect and care I'm always willing to see them, as if they're successful they'll more than likely lead to new sequels. The last of us 1 is just extra funny in a way since it's on it's third version

Keep the videos coming, Kiro!

Nice video, made me rethink my stance on video game remakes as whole, and you bring up points even I shouted for a while here on RU-vid like remakes overshadowing the original game's legacy. I view games as a form of art, and good art is something that is always timeless in my eyes, regardless of when it was made and what it was made with, so when a game gets remade, it makes people see games less as art and more as disposable toys. In my case, I have yet to play a remake I prefer over the original, not even RE1 Remake replaces the original for me. It lacks the hilarious B-movie horror vibes of the original. This current generation of gaming though is the most obsessed I've seen in regarding remakes. It's like we are in gaming's version of the Disney Live-Action remakes. We run out of money-making ideas so let's just remake all the good games. I see greater value and more artistic effort when remaking a bad game into a good like with Ninja Gaiden 3 into Razor's Edge or possibly the upcoming Lords of the Fallen remake, but investors won't go into that because it's not safe, so instead we remake good games into either worse, usually worse, or better versions of said game. I guess I'm just more worried about remakes making every video game look the same and feel the same.

I love seeing remakes of games I didn’t get to play as a child. Dead Space for instance. I was too young to play a horror game like that and I probably wouldn’t have understood much, but now since Im well older I can experience it. Probably not how others have with the original but it does fill that void. Also feel this way about the upcoming Silent Hill remake. Another case of being too young but very interesting lol.

in what case would you need to specify the shadow of the collosus original vs remake, isn't the remake essentially 1 to 1 gameplay wise?

Remakes are like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can show a modern generation a game series long forgotten like advance wars or crash bandicoot and spyro. They can also fix bugs and glitches with the original game that could never be fixed and polish locations and finalize characters desgins . But also, they can add new content to the remake. On the other hand. It could add more glitches to it or sometimes recon the original story. It could also change the original art design idea or setting. It's really about how hard-core of a fan you are. But hey, if we didn't have remakes, series like crash bandicoot, spyro, henry stickmin, Rachet and Clank, and advance wars would be long forgotten.

I love this format from you

I like remakes when it is old games that are not easily accessible to most people. If the originals are expensive as duck or if they are older than some people playing games now.

I'll never be opposed to remakes or remasters, because it means new generations will get to experience the same stories that impacted us without having to buy a used console (and usually a compatible TV) and put up with a game experience that might be unintuitive or obtuse compared to what they're used to. Issues like bad ports or delisting of old games aren't the fault of the remakes themselves, but instead of greedy business practices in the industry -- something that we should be looking to combat at the source, instead of targeting games themselves.

As a gamer whose mother tongue is not English, remakes are great opportunities to play older games, because a lot of older games were never released in my language. For example, resident evil series was never translated and localized back in a day, but now I have fully and properly translated resident evil series!

I wonder how remakes will impact the discussions surrounding games and whether or not they can be treated as substitutes to the original experience. Like, can you really talk about how influencial Half-Life 1 is to the FPS genre when you've only ever played Black Mesa?

Im hardly dissatisfied by a remake. Only example that comes to mind is diamond and pearl

My main gripe with Atlus remaking Persona 3 is that they should've remade both Persona 2 games instead

The last of us Remake was not needed. Remakes like the resident evil or deadspace series are definitely worth it especially for newcomers like myself.

Unfortunately Pokémon FRLG didn’t add the physical/special type split, as that was added in the next games, diamond and pearl. Unless I’m wrong about that

2:43 failed to mention that if you finish Medievil Remake it lets you play the Original Ps1 game.

i think it really depends on the type of remakes the 1 for 1 replica: a lot of effort for not having new content the ones that improve on the og: makes the og less avaliable (because of many reasons as said in the vid, but i would like to add the fact of having tge same title into it, making it harder to seach) its complicated

Kiro: When's the last time you heard someone talk about Pac-Man World before the remake? Me, who talked about Pac-Man World daily: >:(

Since the announcement of persona 3 reload I was waiting for u to upload a video on the matter

Remakes are in my opinion really cool What's even cooler Multiple remakes Might seem repetitive but you always have option "ohhh, Mario All stars doesn't change the game other than graphics, not interesting to me, i'll play the advance games they have more content" ECT Also remakes can let people experience something they weren't Able to before. Like for me That game would be Bully. I don't own consoles so i never experienced the ps2 original (And by the time i was maybe 3 the ps2 was already irrelevant and hard to obtain) but luckily i had a chance to play Scholarship edition which is more of a port, but it adds a lot of stuff so i count it as a remake. Idk Remakes are just so special to me.

i thought you could use a certain button combination (a+start I think? ) in super mario bros to start on the last world you reached after the game over.

Some problems I see with remakes is adding content hut not considering how that fits in with the original game. The best example is Fire Red and Leaf Green. Many of the boss fights weren’t changed at all to fit the gen 3 system and some of the changes hurt what the original game was going for like giving Charmander Metal Claw.

Only thing wrong with remakes are the prices they sell at

I'm really hoping that Persona 3 Reload will be a good remake, and well I've played both Portable and FES, and I'm sure as hell hoping that they manage to make P3R great.

Well, as much as I never had a real extrusion with them until later down the line, the extrusions them may not as lesser than I always thought

Honestly remakes are hardly anything new. I mean, humans have been retelling stories and recreating art for ages. How many versions of classic characters like Gilgamesh, King Arthur or Heracles can you think of? How often are iconic paintings and sculptures reimagined with a different twist, like the statue of Medusa holding Perseus’s head? Remaking games just feels like a natural evolution of that trend. People like seeing new takes on old ideas.

You can press a then press start you with go back to the level you were in.

I think remakes are a problem in specific cases where a game is full priced and is remade unnecassarily eg like the case of last of us 1, already remastered for the ps4 generation they ddint need to remake it for ps5 and price it at 69$. Especially since ps5 is backwards compatible anyways with the ps5. you could even throw GTA V in there as another example

Game companies should make remakes of bad games, but obviously work on correcting the flaws

I think you can love both the old version and the remakes. I love the old R.E's and I love the remakes. I love the original clankyness of dead space but I also love the remake but then theres the GTA trilogy remaster and the ports of the original game to a digital emulator costing the full price of brand new game. like the MGS remaster vol 1 which im betting is like the vita, ps3 ports but this time for the ps4/ps5 xbox one/series costing $70 these are the bad side of remakes/remasters.

It depends if its a game from the PS2/PS3 and xbox360 era i dont think it need a remake just a remaster because those games still hold up graphically but if its something from the PS1 era or even early PS2 era i think some games do deserve a full remake

But in Super Mario Bros. you can hold A to continue from the last world(IIRC)! Same thing with some other games with "special" features! Megaman 3 had a super jump(hold right on second controller to execute)! And Megaman 2, hold A when starting a robot master stage to change the star field into a "little birds" field!

I don't think remakes are bad as they've introduced me to a lot of old masterpieces which have aged like milk due to not having simple things like subtitles or, being an rpg fan, having too many random encounters. But it's true that if a game is getting a remake I want the developers to enhance the experience not just redo it. Super Mario RPG for example was an awesome remake but it didn't add anything aside from a postgame with super bosses for a pretty easy rpg. I could have just played the original tbh. Star ocean 2 on the other hand had a total rework of QoL, I haven't played the original but on the remake of the first it was apparent that it was an old game. In the second one, you can avoid random encounters, you get percents of success for your actions, animations are shortened or play in real time, lots of fast travel, new save points... That's what I want on a remake

If it weren’t for the reignited Trilogy, I wouldn’t have discovered one of my new favorite fandoms and want to have the “Legend of Spyro” games be remade too.

I’m very happy that Advance Wars Reboot Camp exists despite Fire Emblem getting tons of games, I’m glad all those games they got in the 15 year gap between Days of Ruin and Reboot Camp didn’t stop it from getting anything and so what if they’re just remakes, they’re still fun and people get to try out another small Nintendo franchise that apparently Intelligent Systems can’t figure how to bring back without relationship and dating sim mechanics.

Game remakes are a lot different to movie remakes. There are some good points when it comes to remaking movies but most of the time it's unnecessary and is usually made for a quick buck and while the same can be said for game remakes, there are more reasons to make them. Games are stuck on the platforms they run on unless ported which is sometimes difficult to do and sometimes the original version is hard to come back to (I could day that with games like the original FFVII despite how good that game is). Also bonus points when remakes get PC ports because they're usually very moddable like with RE4 Remake. So in conclusion. When are we getting a Devil May Cry 3 remake

As a fresh gamer (just started in 2020 when I bought a Wii for 10 bucks) I do appreciate remakes, usually gives me a way to experience the story and buy the game on my current platform legally. Despite not being a fan I love the approach the RE games take, they have their remakes but many of the originals are also readily available for purchase if you so desire. Companies want emulation to stop, but that won’t happen unless companies make an active effort to make games they KNOW people want to play available for legal purchase.

You should do a video based on characters who outlived their franchise for example morrigan and felicia from darkstalkers or captain falcon from f zero

I think we’re good in terms of remakes but I remember a few years ago after the crash insane trilogy dropped basically every other Series tried to do the same thing but I think we’re over the remake craze now…

So basically, Remakes are neither good or bad; They're Neutral. The personal quality of the Remake then defines if its a Neutral more leaning to Lawful or Chaotic.

Sonic colors was one of those games where they said if it does well we will make more. I hope so but not in the way of colors ultimate. Sonic unleashed really needs a remake because of its performance issuesbut knowing sega they would make more problems

Nintendo remaking old, once abandoned games is a real blessing that we wouldn't have expected from them with their previous track record.

Hell no, the problem is when they remake a game from the previous generation instead of porting/remastering, especially when it holds up today. I have no issue with remaking anything from before the PS3 generation. But it's ridiculous when you have say, the Last of Us on PS3, remastered for PS4, and remake for PS5. And now I hear of a possible remake for Last Of Us 2. I also have a fear that remakes might change too much of the original game or make some sections worse (Majoria's Mask 3DS or FF7R). I think anything from the Genesis, Saturn, NES/SNES, PS1/PS2 consoles should be top priority for a remake. Any handheld game is fine too, most of the handhelds are quite old and it's difficult to find games for those systems (plus seeing them in HD or 4K would be amazing).

I also want a remake of la rush.

I always kept into consideration that the premise of most video game remakes were for the newer generation to have access to these classic titles. Added content and Quality of Life improvements while still keeping the essence of the original to entice those who have already played these games a revisit to memory lane but then we get something like the butchery that is Resident Evil 3 remake and I just roll my eyes everytime I see another remake/remastered/reimagining gets released. I feel like remakes would be unecessary if game companies and those who make the consoles also had a focus on video game preservation and backwards compatibility. Sadly this is not that we live in.

QUESTION @kirotalksyt What editing software do you use? Is it free? (Btw, you are a really good RU-vidr. I'm going to start making gaming videos like these, just shorter!)

Remakes are fine if done with the love and dedication they deserve, and they add accessibility to previous generations games that might otherwise be lost. I'd never played any of the Spyro games before the Reignited Trilogy came out, but I loved playing Reignited, the updated graphics are more pleasing to the eye, and nobody was gonna dig out a PS1 (or pay the usual extortionate second-hand costs) to replay it, so it brings the series to a whole new audience. The GTA Trilogy is the classic example of how NOT to do a remake though. I was so looking forward to that, as I loved playing GTAIII the first time round, but I don't have access to a PS2 any more, but seeing how buggy and glitchy the remake turned out was such a massive disappointment, it just seems like Rockstar phoned it in for a lazy cash-grab.

To me, remakes feel like both a second chance for the original game and a way to gauge interest in how popular a series/franchise is depending on both the state of the series/franchise. Not all remakes are made equal. If anything some remakes actually can cause issues. For example, the remakes of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story. While it made sense for the former due to the game being a GBA title and at that point the 3DS *still* didn't have any publicly available GBA Virtual Console titles on 3DS (only early adopters, aka folks who bought the console at launch for full price before the price drop, were allowed to get GBA games and even then it was *extremely* limited with the selection), Bowser's Inside Story was a DS title, meaning the 3DS could still play it with ease unlike Superstar Saga (which was not one of the available GBA titles for early adopters). But due to both remakes being released on an already dying handheld sale were extremely low and despite the positive reviews, caused the developers of the Mario & Luigi series, AlphaDream to declare bankruptcy later due to an constantly growing debt the company had on top of the sluggish sales and high development costs. Remakes are a take the good with the bad type of deal. If it flops, it flops, regardless if the remake is good or not. Not much can be done if that happens.

Are Remakes Bad for Gaming?

Remakes aren't bad(IF THEY ARE NOT FROM ROCKSTER GAMES)

You make a lot of fair points both ways, and I agree if it's a once in a while thing, okay sure it's fine. But it's not. The attitude is to just remake literally every single thing that was ever good or popular in the past, even when in most cases the game is already currently available to buy on modern systems easily and cheaply. In fact, it's usually way more expensive to buy the remake than it is to just play the originals.

Did you hack into my Google Docs and read my script on this? Becuase I was JUST about to make a video about this this week haha. But yeah I agree with most of what you've said in this video,

Video game Remakes typically replace the original in the canon So like Resident Evil 1-4 originals as of now are non canon

I don't need to think what a remake of Lost Planet would be like I can look at Lost Planet 3,. But yeah access of selling, fixes and more to games are valid of nonsense sometimes. For hidden gems they make sense a second chance (what I want if no one takes the old ideas and leaves them behind to push overdone ideas and never look at the old again because why not be original or old but stand out because standing out isn't an option apparently it's being boring and copying because forget good design it was the marketing not the game itself but Devs and Pubs are too stupid to try again and look deeper. Or oh it has to be realistic how boring and limiting potential ideas to be graphics appealing to idiots that don't care about smart design just whatever themes and visuals on screen then the playing part unless it's hard and dull gameplay glad hidden gems stay that way of fresh and unto uhed sometimes the more games I find with unique ideas and I can go ah old gen had good ideas and new gen won't take them might as well explore more old that aren't getting any easier to get for prices or try emulation because they aren't getting remakes ever. But eh with being remade as the big have design that was consistent back in the day to current making them fair and not needing much change which is fine or changing to be worse) their not working designs changed but in some cases could be more trope typical new era design you may hate. With most remakes it's oh it was popular/reboot it for an new audience, oh change the design of the old to more new in some areas, make money on existing, better graphics. Eh I don't care for most remakes. They can add things but also pad them out, they can be games that already had similar design of old and new then some different old and some maybe ok new or better new or bad new. Sega GT car building never again (besides other games that generation of sixth gen). Battlefield 2 swap mechanic around soldiers on the map is awesome never again. Driver San Francisco same thing never again. So many games suck because they barely try again and oh realistic oh these elements. It's boring and remakes can have similar issues of being yes different but also the unique stuff should stay sometimes depending what it is of course some vehicle missions or other stuff can be awkward yes and just didn't work so a take 2 may be worth it it may not be. That or games get a sequel and oh the sequel sucks because it went all trendy then worth it of good ideas. Mirrors Edge or Perfect Dark there. Spyro Reignited changed things that made Spyro 3 have less rewards so sure for quality of life you get them already but you get nothing to replace them doing the Sparx levels then gems why???? Some things feel different which is expected but eh sick to death of heavy characters it sucks and especially if they are small why would they need to be as awkward as adult humans to play as. I know the old design enough and even Clive n Wrench surprised me with design that's so floaty it was weird but interesting then oh it's heavy I can't stand. The floatiness is awkward too but I prefer some floaty then too much heavy with most games besides heavy and annoying these days because how slow they can be on the sticks or walking segments and other garbage. PS3/360 era is always relevant as many current gen games still go off those formulas or cutscenes, walking segments and other nonsense a decade later WHY? I never looked at them and went yep so many should do this I said I hope they don't do this and kept playing ones to avoid those issues yet they end up in so many games and it's frustrating Devs copy cat and make me keep digging deeper to avoid the pathetic design. I Eman with current gen most games feel done to death, not much dynamic elements or as exciting highs because they are made to be easier, less creative and well copy elements and very few changes because they need to follow others formulas because boring design and trend hopping and Devs wasting their time on things they aren't familiar with happens. Sure not with remakes but I mean it could still happen if remaking content.

I’m psyched for persona 3

2:53 actually, if you hold A while you restart the game, you start at the beginning of the world you were on. Though resetting your console will mean going back from the start. EDIT: But I do agree that the physics are rather old and difficult for modern players to work with. A remake is definitely worth it.

There's a difference between a remaster and a remake, remasters are more often cash grabs, just bringing the ip to current gen consoles, because the original is not really or not available anymore

I love remakes when they're good. You just get a game you love in a much better and more up-to-date form. I'm so excited for the persona 3 remake.

The only thing I dont like when it comes to remakes would be just making another remake of the already made remake, and that remake remake consists of just little changes added to it like they were updates, rather than just updating the already made remake, like bro, was the remake even released at the time where updates weren't a thing in gaming.

Remakes have been great lately so i'm all for it. Games like Metroid Prime, RE4 , Dead Space, and System Shock have proven how good a remake/remaster can be.

Here’s something of a fun fact did you know that video game remakes go all the way back even before the 2000’s like Super Mario all stars for the NES was essentially a remake. Same goes for movies remakes have been around for a very very long time.

I think they should add more fan service more often

Depends on the remake, some are bad and some are good

Resident Evil 4 bored me when I tried to play it like 5 years ago, the remake looks interesting and like something I'd want to play, even if it didn't also come with a free VR version, which is where I'll be playing it. Glad the last of us part 1 exists cuz the trophy list is soooooo much better. FF7 Remake is so drastically different from the original, a game that was made with the limitations of the time, that I never want to play the original, and also it revamps the actual plot with things to mess with people who have expectations from playing the original, changing where the story goes in a very final fantasy 15 dlc kind of way.

Pokémon remakes are made by third party studios so bdsp wouldn’t have prevented a new spin off from being made 4:55 bdsp was also outsourced

Remakes are great if treated as a straight upgrade like RE1 '96 vs RE1 '01 Remakes suck if they completely redo everything like RE4 vs RE4R

remakes are a celebration of what was. It may seem harmless but nostalgia consumes all and fosters unhappiness with now. ofcourse, there are systemic issues but to ignore that we dont value our future as we did, signifies an end. To what end, no one knows.

Remaked person You cannot watch this video in full in 7 mins

I'd draw the line at degree of improvement/change. Remakes that update/modernize a dated game, sure. Re2 remake fits this. Something that's just a glorified port? That's a bit much. TLoU is a good example of the latter. The original holds up just fine and isn't that old.

Kinda off topic but can we all agree that Capcom is the king of remake?

Yeah remakes are good(when done right of course)because it's a good way for gamers like myself to play a classic game that released ages ago, and can't access it because it's stuck on a old gen console. It's either that or we don't like the way the game looks or plays.

I wonder why we don't get remakes for books.

I always talk about Spyro the dragon even before the remake matter of fact I've been wanting them to remaster the trilogy and I'm glad they did now I'm just waiting for par-four I don't care about crash rumble I'm not buying it

i started playing the original we love katamari on an emulator a few days before the remake was announced i was so pissed lmao now im scared to play any other katamari games (me and my, beutiful) cuz i dont wanna have that happen again lol

I just don't want them to call a plain port a "remake" or a "remaster." I think it's deceptive marketing to do so. great video, btw.

Make a video about dead game franchises!!!

Everyone was talking about Spyro because of skylanders.

the original re4 was one of the best games of all time when it came out and still is, and the remake is a new take on that game that changes enough about it to make it worth playing but also to make the original worth going back to I think remakes like this are the best ones. re4 remake doesn't replace the original, it compliments it

No next question
