This is retarded, the most common thing that actually gets better due to modern technology is lighting systems. Most games currently getting remastered or remade are at this point games that were coming out when mass adoption of backlit flat panels began, so the originals weren't even designed to be showing deep blacks like the picture on the left in the OP.
Something that actually becomes an issue is fog or draw distance, but if that's what the meme was going for then the analogy is really strained.
In Morrowind for example, modern draw distance can let the player see Vivec from Seyda Neen, you can really grasp how small Vvardenfell actually is, while players in ~2002 with the game's original foggy draw distance would find that the world "feels" bigger.

The mistake you're making is that you think people are looking at this image critically in terms of its composition. Most people can't think with that much nuance. They can broadly recognize the left looks good and the right looks bad, and that's their takeaway from the image. They don't care, and maybe aren't capable of caring, about the individual elements of the composition and whether they correspond to reality.

You are coping beyond max capacity. I grew up with the original spyro games and can say truthfully that the remakes look a thousand times better than the originals. You must be a true delusional autistic retard to think otherwise.

The systems and technology get better, but with remasters you usually have completely new team working on the game, who have no idea what the original devs intended.
So you get cases like Mass Effect Remaster which totally botch the colors because new one has MORE TECHNOLOGY and whatever.

Literally the opposite for me. The licks of the flame are so opaque, they might as well have a mesh and be an in-game model. The only reason people liked it was because it moved slowly.
>>
>>732225336
What do you mean? Literally every single demaster is sold on the point of it now being in widescreen
>>
>>732225507
They almost always include them... but "the point?" Nah. They wouldn't always update the visuals if widescreen alone was motivation enough.
>>
>>732225593
The fuck are you talking about? They never "include" them, they are always in widescreen, and it's the main selling point for zoomers and normalfags.
>>
>>732225771
>it's the main selling point
Wrong.
OP's image is depicting the rape of the art style, like Spyro trilogy's remake. So obviously "the main selling point" of new spyro is the redone visuals, NOT mere "widescreen."

Not really. Modern games can do lighting fine. It's just the jeets they outsource too that can't do shit. You usually don't see nearly as much degradation when remakes are done by the original developer.
