Remaking a game is actually very risky business. It's easy money on paper, but there is lot of goodwill that gets gets squandered by very careless and lazy practices. Link's Awakening, for one, was so damn contentious even though it imported most of the progression wholesale with minimal changes to gameplay simply due to the aesthetic style. Samus Returns, as I understand, isn't very well received simply because they made a modern-minded Metroid game, as opposed to Samus Returns. Shadow of the Colossus (PS4) is almost 1:1, but I'd argue that there aren't too many moving parts.
This whole FFVIIR on the other hand, is a giant wankfest that will induce a third wave of FFVII cringe; the first was FFVII's release, the second when Advent Children hit, and this third one will be the product of what happens when a character designer becomes a director. No one ACTUALLY likes NGE Rebuild, and I gaurantee with the next "episode" (assuming it does release) no one will actually like FFVIIR.
Nathaniel Young
Shouldn't the first wave be Kingdom Hearts?
Aiden Lopez
Based. Remakes are dumb.
If the original was good trying to improve it will likely result in something inferior, and if the original wasn't good then that budget and creative energy would be far better spend investing in something new.
Ian Sanders
I played the remke but no the original

I feel like it's reasonable to lump KH and Dissidia in that second wave of "Square Enix smugly wanking itself over how cool and successful Cloud is". It's that late 00s energy where they didn't yet think a full on FFVIIR was monetize able and they were trying every way to continue to monetize FFVII's wake.

Ok, so what's the fucking point of doing a remake then?
I'm not arguing for different remakes, by the way, I'm wondering why anyone who supposedly thinks the original is a great game would think it should be remade at all.
Stop being so obsessed with nostalgia, ask for NEW games instead of rehashing things you recognize.
If they're gonna do remakes, it should be for games that sucked but could have been good. Remake Mass Effect 3 or Andromeda. Remake Resident Evil 0. Remake Legend of Mana. Remake Skyward Sword. Games full of good ideas that were squandered or ruined.

To update the graphics and refine any problems with the original gameplay, obviously.

Chase Walker
"Greater detail" doesn't add anything significant and a brand new game that lives up to that classic would be better.
Do you need old movies to be remade with modern actors, CGI and digital photography to enjoy them more? No, because part of the charm of the original is those very limitations of its time.
Having brand new HD graphics is a novelty at best that will wear off by the time the game is over, your memories of the original will still be stronger than the remake, whereas a brand new game would be a whole new memory that would stick with you much more than a simple rehash.
Would you rather look at some photos of you and your friends on a camping trip, or go on an actual camping trip with your friends?

If you need to remake your game you fucked up the first time. Now you can fix it, there's no discussion to be had.

Because what I want is the same game with graphical updates. Graphics can't make a bad game good but they can make a good game great.
Carter Williams
Gigachad posters are console users.
Jaxson Torres
No wonder they're chads. Bet they don't pay for online as well.
Brandon Sanders
This.
Ayden Parker
Then they should make a brand new game instead of relying on the original game's coattails.
Zachary Wilson
someday it will happen.... and then will be no need for me to replay these year after year...
Jace Carter
Remakes are only good if they actually add stuff they wanted in the game but couldn't because of technology or time limitations. Like adding missing story elements or areas, or polishing the gameplay up.
Like Dark Souls Remastered should have been adding to late game areas and impoving the gameplay so it's a good balance between DS1 and DS3
