Pretty much, there are instances where remasters are completely pointless because you can just mod the original to be of superior quality
It is a reason why we will not see the GameCube versions of Resident Evil 2 and 3 ever remastered, even though I would want a way to buy these legally
GC versions of RE2/3 were just ports, weren’t they? The only original RE games on GameCube were. REMake, RE0, and RE4.
They were but they are considered Superior with the PlayStation versions due to having a superior frame rate and sound quality, although they sold rather poorly at the time as Resident Evil the remake kind of raised the standard for what a remake should be up so high, that no re-release has been able to match it in quality. Not even the other remakes in the same series.
In many respects the remakes of 2 and 3 are a measurable downgrade, and are more accurate to a retelling than a remake, which is why I would want enhanced ports of the GameCube versions
That makes sense! I never picked them up as a kid cause I already had 2 on n64 and 3 on PS1. I might have to check out those versions. Are the backgrounds higher resolution too? That’s the hardest part about replaying them on an hdtv, it’s just so blurry!
Yea
The Legendary edition of the Mass Effect Trilogy was a lot worse that the modded original games.
They never fixed the FOV issues or even made it work on Ultrawide monitors. Same bugs, less texture fidelity, and no more ass shots. The remaster was a joke.
I heard they censored shit too. Sadly I feel like that's just a staple of re-releases nowadays "Remember back in the 90's and 2000's when we thought politically correct was a dirty word? You know what's a better idea? The opposite extreme where anything even slightly vulgar or sexual must be censored or they'll corrupt the poor innocent 30-50 Target Demographic..."
