Personally I find videogame remakes to be more insidious than film remakes. To remake a film, you have to do everything from scratch - new script, new actors, new sets etc. This makes even the most retarded normalcattle aware of the slimey cashgrab nature of remakes and thus they almost always flop with even Disney's semi-successful remakes not breaking even.

However, with videogames, you don't have to do everything from scratch. You can use the same logic and design as before, whilst slapping shiney new graphics in and slipping as much censorship and subversion as you want. For whatever reason, the normalcattle are just unable to see past the shiney graphics so if 30% of the game remains the same, it functionally is the same game for them and thus they obsolete the old game. With time, the normalcattle fill up the discussion of the game with the shitty remake so much that younger, inexperienced gamers have a harder time finding out about the REAL game, as the normalcattle will insist on shirming the old game with the new trash.

We're already seeing it happen with Resident Evil games, The Oblivion remake, MGS 3 remake. It does not matter how shit, censored or unoptimized these remakes are. The normalcattle can only consume them and spam them everywhere. And it's not going to stop.

That uses the old script as a guideline

For some reason, the normalcattle can still see past through this when it comes to films, and identifies them as separate pieces of media.

With videogames, they don't. They seem to treat it as a "bugfix update" of sorts. That's what worries me.

My problem with remakes is the opposite of yours.
If anything, that's why I prefer remastereds, though I don't play them either. That's just a bunch of jeets updating textures and letting the original game stay the same.
Making a new game but it's just the old game again is soulless as fuck. Just like Vince Vaugnh's Psycho.

No. Fuck off normalcattle. Play the original game or fuck off.

>psycho remake
do i have to watch the clunky original or can i stick with Psycho Delta Kiwami? i'm excited to get to Psycho 4. i have no experience with anything about this series, except memes, but that's enough to make me devote hours of my life to it and make it my entire personality for years

Exactly, makes the originals obsolete

Yes by not trying to redo them you dumb fuck but by putting a different spin on them

>>724242787
>obsolete
No anon as long as you have access to older games that are not obsolete. What retarded logic is that?

>Resident Evil games
All of the RE remakes except maybe 1 remake are made in a completely knew engine. All of them, the assets are built from scratch or lifted from an earlier re engine title. (something the classics were just as guilty of) They are just as much work to make as a full new release.
