Can anyone point out an example of a remaster/remake that was better than the original game? I'm having trouble thinking of just one that didn't introduce numerous bugs or completely ruin the art direction.
Ninja Warriors Again < Ninja Warriors Once Again
Well a remake is a brand new game that can and should be different. I personally like Resident Evil (2002) better than the original, of course it doesnt replace it because its so different, as remakes are.As far as remasters The Last of Us on PS4 made it out pretty unscathed, same with the 3 Uncharted games. The games are brighter overall a little but id argue God of War 1 and 2 as well.

>>745995538super mario rpg
>>745995885oh yeah, forgot about that, but it was a slight fuck up, everything else was a huge upgrade
>>745995684No, I think that hair moving around like that looks pretty fucking ridiculous.
Perfect Dark 64 for X360
>>745995538La mulanaBinding of isaac
>>745996050The hair is a bit ridiculous, not so much for its movement, but for how much of it there is.
>>745996061Yeah, it's higher fidelity (larger textures and such), but does it really look better? I don't think so.
>>745995538Am I cheating if I name Odin Sphere Leifthrasir?
>>745996129Nah, the whole thing is an official version of the fanmade overly animated redo of NES Mario sprites.
>>745995538not necessarily better, but a very welcome and novel experience was the system shock 1 remake. i quite liked their take on it. i like about as much as the original, to be honest.
>>745996498it's just literally the same game but in a higher resolution. i don't think it really qualifies as a remake or remaster
>>745995538Odin Sphere and Dead Space come to mind.Yeah yeah /v/ will pretend to hate the Dead Space remake due to that one single bathroom sign but everyone who played it will tell you it's a straight improvement over the original.
>>745996697who says that a remaster needs to be any more than that? a remaster could even simply be a compatibility patch
>>745996749in my headcanon, a remaster sounds more significant than just putting out the exact same game but with higher res textures. it'd be like calling the PC version of any PS2/Xbox game a remaster.
>>745995538Most nightdive portsMetroid Zero MissionA2MR
>>745996821>a remaster sounds more significantBut that's not what a remaster is, it means changing the quality without actually touching the content. When you remaster a song you don't rerecord it, you only touch up the original audio.>it'd be like calling the PC version of any PS2/Xbox game a remaster.A port is not a remaster because you aren't changing anything about it, just experiencing it through better hardware. You can think of it like playing an mp3 through cheap headphones at first, and then a proper speaker system. The actual mp3 file is the same, but the sound comes through better.
>>745995538is that fucking comic sans
>>745997251yes. infamously so. the silent hill hd collection is one of the most comically bad "remasters" of all time. you should watch some videos that go over it. its pretty wildhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8CFaxfFA6M
>>745995538Do the MMBN LCs count? It's a faithful remake but with Japan exclusive content restored, some bugs fixed in multiplayer and online multiplayer.
>>745995538Odin Sphere Leifthrasir had some pretty big changes to the gameplay which are strictly better than the original.
>>745995538Every Kingdom Hearts game. The only subjective one is RECoM.

>>745997965Delete this
Blaster Master Zero compared to the NES Blaster Master.
>>745995538hitman contracts maybe
Dark Souls Remastered QLOC downside,-some of the albedo textures were altered and had their contrast lowered.-QLOC struggled with their new material setup, specifically on armor. specular is off, some of the albedo textures were kinda weird-features less depth of field-bloom is also lower-bonfire particle effect is a good looking fire, but loses the special look of the PTDE bonfire-beyond the foliage textures that did get upgraded, most all textures in the game are the same resolution as PTDE-DSR didn't fix basically any of the mesh holes, texture issues, etc, that are present in DS1 everywhereeeee.PTDE had lots of surfaces with only an albedo texture, no normal or specular map. In DSR, *everything* has a spec + normal map.So one thing Dark Souls Remastered definitely has over PTDE is most foliage textures. It seems QLOC had access to the source versions because they are sometimes 2-4x higher resolution. left is DSR. right is PTDE.QLOC handled Dark Souls Remastered, commissioned by Bandai Namco. Demon's Souls Remake was done by Bluepoint, commissioned by Sony.QLOC I believe said they wanted to change Covenants, bonfire placements, and improve item balance and were told to stop by From, who own the IP and make all of the ultimate decisions.
>>745998078>10 minutes of cutscenes to sit through vs the NES original's 15 secondsnah
>>745998116It's more of a half-remake, no? Most of the original levels never made the cut. I'd argue it's more akin to a DLC pack for Hitman 2.
>>745995538Command & Conquer, Starcraft.
>>745998234>starcraftthey could have at least let you select more than 8 units at a time and improved the stacking+patching, fuck the koreans and competitive.
Resident Evil 4 HD ProjectIt can also be used as a Dolphin texture pack for those who want the vanilla experience untouched

>>745998234>>745998323Best way to play StarCraft campaign, imo.
>>745995538
>>745995538You guys don't get it. Tourism in Silent Hill was going down in recent years, so they decided to redo the signs in comic sans in an attempt to be "hip with the kids these days".
>>745998430>nes fire emblem with tumblr-tier generic anime artstylelmao
>>745998430I liked the dungeon crawling, and liked how you can just send every fucking unit you want in most missions.
>>745995538Xenoblade DE >B-but muh anime models!Fit Xeno betterAlso the game is way more fun to play than the original.
>>745997965Hey I took this screenshot!I wonder how much its improved since then? Now I want to update and try again with new graphics mods
PCSX2 and RPCS3 are better than any official remasters
Metal Slug X is a strict upgrade over 2
>>745996642Why yes, my GOTY in 2023 was a remake of a game from the 90's.
Halo MCC is largely pretty great minus some small things in Halo CE and Halo 2https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gpklokblI006QYtGlxUeds747lPZD_JSph56qLJqzhw
They all have small issues. Dead Rising for example has some censorship, but is honestly worth it for the quality of life upgrades like being able to move while aiming and NPC’s being slightly less retarded. Ironically it’s one of the few that came out in an already HD era so the graphics aren’t as important.It’s hard to judge which ones are really better. I finally decided to emulate Valkyrie Profile because I’ve heard the remake censors a good chunk, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s better with a different control scheme being it’s so old.
>>745996050Is it not flowing in the wind?
Metroid Prime
>>745995538I liked it more than the original.
>>745998382I dropped sc2 after like 5 missions but loved sc1, do I just download something and drag and drop for custom maps?
Link's Awakening DX
is Gothic remake any good?
How are the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters?
>>745998758you think the only change was color. i know you didn't play the game because it also made several bosses and puzzles easier.
>>745998723remake, not remasterbut regardless how did you like it more genuine q, i wanted to kill myself by the 2nd dungeon with how every single thing you do was turned in to a 5s long cutsceneevery single fucking chest, christwhat were they thinkingthe saddest part is retards like you that glaze this trash ensure every game will continue having more and more pointless tedious downtime that adds nothing to the gameit also ran like total shit too despite looking like trash, forgot about thatwhat a shit game
>>745998741It's pretty easy to install, just scroll down for the install instructions.https://www.curseforge.com/sc2/maps/starcraft-mass-recall
>>745995538Dragon Quest V made the best girl marriageable with the DS version.
>>745998618I'd say MCC is largely great solely for bring Halo 3 custom games to PC. It's a shame the same wasn't carried over for Halo Custom Edition.
GTA Trilogy remake was excellent, the QOL improvements made the games are better in every capacity than the originals
>>745998323It's 12 units. But yeah they were never going to do that. Age of Empires 2 has been "improving" their pathing for more than a decade now and it still doesn't work.
>>745999061>Age of Empires 2 has been "improving" their pathing for more than a decade now and it still doesn't work.How many changes are in the Definitive Edition?
>>745998134They fucked up the ambient audio and IK, shit remaster.
>>745998723Just more proof that Nintendo is turning into the Disney of video games. A remake akin to OoT3D.>Make it cartoonier and more accessible to the "modern audience"
>>745998681Deadrising remake is ok but it definitely butchered some things. The OG actually had a pretty advanced bloodsplatter system that’s totally absent in the new game. Voice acting is worse pretty much across the board. They totally fucked up the zombie grabs which makes combat 10x more annoying than in the original. You had some “iframes” in the og when attacking that are no nonexistent so you’ll constantly be interrupted fighting hordes The needless censorship of course is also shit. Oh yeah, Lots of tiny details in the mall are screwed up thanks to AI upscaling. At one point they were literally missing entire zombie variants. OG is a 10/10 unique masterpiece The remake is an 8/10 by comparison
>>745999034The most Indian post ITT by far.
>>745999061>But yeah they were never going to do that.they actually did, they had a bunch of meme new feature builds at blizzcon when they announced the remaster and they even ran tournies with themzerg completely fucks with infinite unit selectthey didn't put it in because of respect for the original balance, nothing else
>>745998548>that fucking horrendous stretched aspect ratio
>>745998875they don't have the extra content from the GBA/PSP versions which was hit or miss depending on preference, they're pretty much just the NES/SNES games with cleaned up sprites, bugfixes, and re-done audio (that can be swapped in-game)
>>745995538The leaked cancelled remaster of GoldenEye for the 360. You can even toggle between N64 graphics and redone graphics on the fly.
>>745999194Only a jeet would accuse another of being a jeet without backing it up. Literally the first point of the jeet copedex lmao
>>745999194You are a nigger. GTA 3 and GTA VC are literally dogshit without the DE fixes>let me pull out my rifle and run and gun>oh no can’t do that without going into first person modeLiteral nigger tier opinion
>>745999194your nostalgia filter is masking the fact that whilst the trilogy was good in the 2000’s, they are nearly impossible to play now
>the jeet army crawls out of the woodwork to defend GTA DEtop zozzle
>>745995538Oden Sphere. If you don't like the remastered style and revamped gameplay, they also shoved the original PS2 into the game for you to enjoy. A very lost concept of getting 2 games in 1.
>>745999656racism isn't allowed here, kindly apologize to that anon
>>745999547>>745999656>>745999702CockStar shills on high alert on this board for some reason.
>>745997865They should have added a toggle for the Final Mix enemy textures, otherwise yes all the remasters are better.
>>745998334
>>745995538>Can anyone point out an example of a remaster/remake that was better than the original game? metal max 2 reloaded
>>745995538broodwar's graphic update and widescreen support is better
>>745995538Shadowman remastered is one of the few that actually added in content and performance fixes that weren't possible on original hardware/budget but were still in-line with the original game's development notes.
>>745995538(((Remakes))) are done by jeets who use cheap ai for the bare minimum amount of money and then people wonder why they are so shit
not having faith in the UE5 zelda is chud behavior

>>745995538Yakuza 1&2 HD. There is no reason to ever play the PS2 versions once these get translated.>Item boxes can now be accessed at every single phone box/save point like in Kenzan onward rather than forcing you to run across the entire map to your one hideout (Or two if you're playing 1) just to store something.>Hard difficulty is available from the start in 2 without having to beat the game.>2x as many people walking around the overworld.>The people that walk around the overworld don't pop in as aggressively as they did in the PS2 version so they're much higher quality much sooner.>In general every NPC has higher quality textures including Kiryu.>Signs have been given a resolution bump so the world in general pops better and looks nicer from afar.>Load times are faster than even PCSX2 as long as you do the HDD install.>Restaurants now list what you ate in each restaurant.>PS3 version has trophies for both games and the saves of each game give you items in 5 including the western version of 5.>Wii U version has the map on the Gamepad.
>>745995538/v/ won't admit this, but RE2 remake. The original was way too actiony and linear
>>745996745>but everyone who played it will tell you it's a straight improvement over the original.Nope. It's a downgrade to the original in basically every sense.>Significantly easier than the original.>No Impossible difficulty, the "Impossible" difficulty is just Hardcore renamed, the highest the game goes up to is "Hard" and "Impossible" is just Hard with Hardcore downsides.>Skin system now means that your guns do not do any damage at all until you rip the skin to get to the bone meaning at bare minimum your first two shots of any gun do no damage.>Because of their gun reworks they also completely ruined the Force Gun in exchange for the Contact Beam finally being worse using as a gun instead of existing solely to sell off its ammo and the Ripper being worth using for once in the entire series and it's still not as good as other weapons.>Zero-G has worse controls than both 2 and 3.>Backtracking so now the entire pacing of the main story is all over the place because you have to go back to the Loading Bay just to go to Hydroponics rather than following where the tram takes you.>Backtracking is mandatory if you want blueprints since 70% of them are now hidden behind security locked doors.>Mercer dies to a flailing Hivemind tentacle immediately after you kill the Regenerator rather than willingly to an Infector in the cafeteria.>Hammond now chases the ghost of his dead Asian buddy that he's been told multiple times is a Necromorph who had no build up as a character or care and dies in a way lamer way.>Doors can now stunlock you for little to no reason if you stand in them for more than a second leading to situations like this being possible.>Red-Eyed Necromorphs now make NG+ completely unfun to fight as they have the HP and damage of an Advanced Brute, typically come in groups, and respawn infinitely.>DLC suits are completely different and worse than the original.>The Stormtrooper suit is so much uglier and looks like a reject Punisher suit.
>>746001965I'm glad I saw this post before starting the PS2 Yakuzas; I always kind of assumed the remasters sucked since I always lumped them in with this hunk of shit given they were both late PS3-era rereleased that didn't make it west.
>>746002981You'll find some complaints on GameFAQs when it came out saying the FMVs are the same resolution but stretched to 720p but I honestly never noticed it if they were stretched. That is the only potential downside I know of. Keep in mind if you emulate them they don't have the lighting issues the PS2 versions do on PCSX2 when upscaled but the text acts really funky showing random kana upside-down or invisible then visible before the whole statement is given.I played them both on my PS3 when I was initially getting into Yakuza. Initially started with PS2 1, made Amon impossible because I missed a substory, put it off to the side because as a 100%er my mind cannot cope with that fact, then when 0 was coming over I remembered I didn't finish 1 so I picked up 1&2 HD and started from there with guides since I knew about missables now. Never had an issues, games looked great, and emulating I've only had the text issue really.
>>745999881Mods to the rescue yet again
>>745995538None of the->>745996078never mind, fair enough.
