I'm of a firm opinion that no game needs a remake. Fixing up old games so that they can be played on modern systems - yes please. Remaking the same game but """better""" - no thanks, I'd rather see something original and new come out There are some exceptions like Pathologic 2 which is basically a remake but also a reimagining, but those are exceedingly rare.

I'll disagree a bit. Angel of Darkness should definitely have been a Remake. They must have put so much effort in to get that just as crappy as the original.

I must disagree. Like while i can still fully enjoy old resident evil games, because i have nostalgia for the i fully understand why people who are born after they have been made would be put of by them. By remaking those games they could indruduce the game to whole new audience who would never play the yanky outdated versions. More extreme example. I would love to have modernised version of Betrayal at Krondor. It had good story. The core gameplay and world was great and there was intresting mechanics, but it was released 1993, so it by modern standards it looks like garbage and the ui is very unintuitive. Most gamers now will never experience that story and those who do, will not get the same experience i got, because they will look everything in the game as a product of its time and the focus will be on the retro aspect, not on the game it self.
