Any games where a remaster could never stack up to the original.

Inspired by this post, asking the opposite, what games do you think are worthy of a remaster: https://lemmy.ml/post/6091201

I would have said dead space until the remake came out and blew me away. So if the devs really care about it no game is untouchable to me. You can always play the original.

Yea I think it's not necessarily the game, but what the remaster looks like. If they get super lazy with it, then it's not worth it. A proper remaster would be great

Iโ€™d say the same thing about resident evil 2 and to an extent resident evil 3.

I think the re2+3 remakes are great games, but I don't think they're better than the originals. 3 especially felt really cut and dumbed down compared to it's source. I think I put 40 hours into the original story, and beat the remake in about 6.

I agree that they are not better than the originals. I still prefer the tank controls.
