FOR THE RECORD, I prefer RE4 (2005) over the remake! It's good having both, though! And as for N64 games I actually like, OOT on 3DS is good, and 1080° Snowboarding is a goated game.
I HATED OG RE4. It destroyed what made RE RE. It was just a generic zombie shooter with unnecessarily bad controls. We had dual analog sticks back then. There was ZERO reason for the game to release as it did. RE4Make is better in every way. It brings back the survival in survival horror. It makes exploring for treasures to upgrade your weapons worthwhile. The knife works brilliantly for conserving ammo and not drawing attention. The fast weapon swaps, the cleaner UI, the ability to actually move and shoot, but with a penalty. Oh, and the frickin ability to aim with the damn right stick and use my muscle memory. 😂 Superior game in every way.
@@Xoulrath_ You can't claim that OG RE4 destroyed what made RE RE while simultaneously claiming it had bad controls and saying that the remake, which is literally just a generic "modern game" in Resident Evil 4 skin is better. You must be a TROLLBOT because that is some next level cognitive dissonance you're exhibiting.😂
@darkandevil9436 maybe. I never played it outside of a demo. I think that it was 5. It could have just as easily been 6. OG4 turned me off of the series. I had zero interest in it again until I saw the RE4Make demo last year. It was only then that I learned that they remade 2 and 3 as well. If 5 was indeed better than 6, then I'd love to see a remake of it that takes what they've learned from remaking 2, 3, and 4, and make an even better remake.
i feel like a majority of the time people call an older game "outdated" they usually talk about game mechanics that are intentional that they don't understand or they talk about something that was bad even at the time the game came out so it isn't even really an age thing. i miss when remakes were just newer versions of the original that still played the same but maybe added a new mechanic or changed some stuff around to make it interesting to people that already played the original (best example of this is the resident evil 1 remake, which people are saying "needs" a remake now lmfao). nowadays no matter how different or worse a remake is people will just assume its better and the original is "outdated" and they will never try playing the original which is very sad because most remakes even if they're good end up doing something worse than the original and will never replace the original. i'm a 20 year old zoomer who never played most "classic" older games growing up and haven't gotten around to playing most of them until recently and i NEVER had any problems going back to any of these older games, like sure some of them have flaws but every game does, no game is perfect and it's insane to have one problem with a older game and IMMEDIATLEY call it "outdated" and begging developers to remake it. just because something is newer and plays like every other game ever made nowadays doesn't mean it's better than the original and a replacement to the original, instead of begging a developer to remake a game JUST GO PLAY IT, if you don't like the game then maybe it's just not for you, there's nothing wrong with that.
personally, i really REALLY don't like the tank controls in the original trilogy of resident evil, and to me the GameCube remake of the first game just feels life a polished turd in terms of controls, its nowhere near as annoying as the original but it still (imo) is just an outdated control scheme with a couple quality of life features.
@@foetidum the tank controls are not "outdated" since they have nothing to do with age. they were designed like that on purpose because they work better with the fixed camera angles since without tank controls you would have to readjust yourself every time the game switched angles but with tank controls you can just move forward and your character will continue to move forward even if the camera switches angles. i understand it's not for everyone but it's ridiculous to blame the game and say its "outdated" for a control scheme that you don't like personally. not every game has to be for everyone.
So, the thing is, some games do need to be remade. Whether or not that is a full on remake, or just a remaster, really depends. The GameCube RE was an absolute masterpiece. It was so good that many players who played the series back in its glory days, preferred the REmake to RE2, which was an absolutely mind blowing experience at the time. I'm still pretty damn bummed that I never saw RE2 get the same treatment. I get chills just thinking about what might have been. Sticking with RE, RE4Make is a damn masterpeice as well. It brings the series far closer to its roots than the OG RE4 ever was. It's just the better game. It fixed the horrid controls that shouldn't have even been so bad back then, but for some reason were. It also put the survival back in survival horror. It's just the superior game. Now, to get into remasters, Metroid Prime Remastered is most definitely deserving of one. It looked pretty damned impressive when it debuted. And even today looks good. The touch up to the graphics, modern controls, and some tweaks here or there were all that the game really needed. Speaking of remasters, I'd gladly pay full price for a remaster of the PS4 remaster of the GameCube remake of Resident Evil. We've hit Inception levels of remakestery now. 😂
I don't care about the general consensus. I don't care if the majority of the population is going to appreciate ff7 or turn based combat. I am not squaresoft. Remakes prove how stagnated and unoriginal video games are nowadays. And it's become a cliche.
You can admit both at the same time. Remakes do not REALLY need to be made, but originality also matters. The lack of innovation is pretty clear, even with remakes out of the picture.
It's not entirely true. Some remakes have improved the overall gameplay experience of the originals intent as art. Like the RE1 remake for the GameCube. I never finished the original PS1 release. Not even the director's cut. It was just too clunky for the time. 2 and 3 had the movement perfected where the first one stumbled. The remake makes the experience much smoother, while being the same game with some life quality improvements such as graphics and voice acting. As well as a few new areas. That did involve the original director, though. I know most remakes don't get that treatment anymore.
Remakes and reimaginings have been around long as there has been media. Old ideas have always been recycled and iterated upon. That we are seeing remakes of old classics just means that gaming as a medium is of sufficient age for old titles to have legacies of significant magnitude.
Nah, we need more ports and remasters. People need to get used to a wider variety of control schemes again, not the generic over the shoulder 3rd person control scheme, cause that's what it all boils down to in the end.
I had someone argue so hard with me that MGS Delta is a remaster after they “corrected” someone 😭 so thank you for that validating intro, I’m glad I’m not the crazy one.
They do the same thing with Resident Evil 1 remake, it's crazy. Like sure, there's a 2015 HD Remaster, but that's a remaster of the 2002 Remake. People are crazy, lol 😂 Edit: switched REmake 1 to Resident Evil 1 remake, cuz I remembered I'm not in a Resident Evil comment section, lol
thing is that Remakes do in fact take up valuable dev time that could go to a new title, so unless a series is getting enough attention to be making multiple games concurrently, it sucks. I keep seeing people begging for an inFamous remake recently and I got no clue why someone would want that over a new entry to the series. All inFamous 1 and 2 need is to be made available on modern platforms through like a port or something and that's literally it. I really hope I can get my Remake video done soon, getting so mad over this stuff
@@dennissinned6299 Oh yeah for sure, those games are badass I want more people to get the chance to play them. But PC ports aside, I want an inFamous 4 over a remake of the first two games any day of the week. My video will mostly be focussing on Devil May Cry tho
JFI games don't age they are made considering the resorces or trends at the time while also trying to figue out how they can be played and most of the time the design is intentional, if normies can't learn how to emulate and figure out the controls then listening to their opinion on a remake of a game that they never played is completly invalid and they don't deserve shit. And while some remakes are good, what's the point of having all games play, look and feel the same? Isn't the purpose to find different experiences? In few words, normie opinions are worthless.
I am the proud owner of the Wii U because of all of the amazing games released for it. Regardless of how poorly it sold it still had much better games for it than any of the competition. While most games have now been brought over to Switch, there are still a few standouts that I still play.
In my opinion, I prefer remasters over remakes. After playing Tomb Raider 1-3 remastered i really like remasters(can’t wait for tomb raider 4-6 remaster). I do want a company to remaster older Star Wars games though
Not that anyone asked, but I’d really love a Halo Remake. 1, 2 or 3. While all the games are excellent, they all have sadly a lot of cut content or ideas that were not realized or scaled down due to tech restraints
Wow, lots of disagreements in the comments. Honestly I agree with you. I loved all Capcom remakes and Silent Hill 2 remake and they've allowed me to experience those older games without having to fuck myself in the ass
Because most of these games were really good back then and still are really good right now. They only need to have a studio that understand what makes them great and have the time and resources to revitilize them.
Fantastic video! 💯 I completely agree because I believe that video game Remakes help preserve old games while updating them for a new Generation. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy, Resident Evil Remakes, Dead Space Remake, and Silent Hill 2 Remake are all what initially got me into these franchises. I loved these Remakes so much that it made me interested in the older games. Without the Remakes, I would have never had any interest or even given the older games a chance because they would have been too hard to get into. Millions of people around the world became fans of these Legendary Masterpieces through the brilliant Remakes. It revitalized interest in the older games, expanded the story/gameplay of the original, and even motivated people like me to purchase and play through the original games for the first time.
This RUclipsr is literally the problem. On some psychological level, guys like this think that game design and playability are somehow on this ever upward moving trajectory over the decades and that mindset just isn't supported by the evidence. The original Resident Evil 4 is superior to the remake. There was a reason you couldn't just spin the camera around freely. That limitation was built into the game to create tension. The fear that an enemy could be approaching from behind was always there. The responsive controls, the necessity of juggling overwhelming numbers of enemies with animation interrupts, and the use of crowd clearing melee moves are all right out of arcade game design like Final Fight. The game was a wholly unique experience that didn't feel like anything else. The remake has a parry system like every damn game does nowadays. Everything is becoming homogenized and it makes games boring and forgettable. Golden Eye, as well as Perfect Dark are still superior to just about any modern FPS and its' not even close. They take a more sandbox approach to their design that is in stark contrast to the overly scripted and linear FPS while also not being an overly padded out, repetitive, cut and paste, open world game either. You can literally play the same level multiple times in a row and get a drastically different experience. Much like the original Resident Evil 4, it to has an almost arcade like feel to how you go about juggling overwhelming numbers of enemies. The mission objectives aren't overly handholdy either which "modern gamers" view as a negative. The bottom line is most modern remakes are, sadly, not better than the originals and often break some of what made the originals such standout titles.
Hey, I might have found another Electric Underground enjoyer. But yeah, we're even seeing remakes just be taking a classic games skin on a modern over the shoulder 3rd person control scheme, that's what all modern "remakes" boil down to.
You probably watch electric underground too I assume lmao. Marks not perfect but I found this video infuriating. Its representative of the kind of attitudes I see as destructive. Board game discourse isn't this awful yet it is for video games.
@@saifal-omaira4569 Ha. Yeah. The Electric Underground is literally the only channel I've ever found that made the "Final Fight" connection with Resident Evil 4 that I've been screaming about for years to puzzled looks from all the clueless casuals that simply respond with, "what are you talking about, RE4 has guns".😆
@davidaitken8503 What marks gets right is that he looks for fundamentals. I used to make RUclips vids back in the day percisely because people didn't. If you look at that, you'll see connections like you did. But most just look at superficial theming, structure and stand out mechanics. Its just so sad. The only place it doesn't happen is serious competitive multiplayer games cause they need it to win. Sigh.
It’s an absolute fucking crime no one got the Dead Space Remake. The sound design alone is insane to behold. Now we won’t get a Dead Space 2. At least not in the foreseeable future.
I enjoy remakes and remasters on newer consoles as it allows me to easily play on a current platform and it makes it easily accessible to others! I also like the updates!
The following titles need a remaster and or remake: Super Metroid Paper Mario (N64) Chrono Trigger Final Fantasy VI Dragon Quest XI Super Mario Bros. 3 Super Mario World Disney’s Little Nemo Jackal (Konami, NES) Donkey Kong Country Donkey Kong Country 64 Disney’s Rescue Rangers Star Fox Zero Streets of Rage 2 Golden Axe Super Mario Sunshine
I think that remakes are fine, if the original version had significant flaws. And I do not mean tank controls in Resident Evil 4, or static cameras of old survival horror games. People often forget that Resident Evil 1 got a remake, because its visuals were outdated even in the day of its release. In two short years, the team at Capcom made a mile of improvements in 1998's RE2. A version of original with better graphics (that still look great to this day) was then granted. Same thing with something like Black Mesa. The original Half-Life had a massive flaw of its final part being unfinished and pretty unfun. So Crowbar Collective had rebuilt it from the ground up, providing a new (and better in my view) experience. Now, not only the original Resident Evil 4 is available on every modern gaming platform, its gameplay is still a perfectly balanced blast. The problem with its remake, is that it does not play anything like the original. It's a fine shooter, don't get me wrong, but in the end of the day, its just another shooter with Fortnite control scheme, while the original is completely unique. Why remaking RE4, when there are a ton of games in Resident Evil franchise in a dire need of Remake, like Code Veronica?
Its like on one hand I get companies doing this, its almost guaranteed to sell. Its like so many developers have made a brand new ip, yet the basic bitch general public doesn't play it or buy it. Its the same general public wanting something new, yet they play the same 3 genres over and over again.
i hate when people say stuff like "algorithm hates dude" cus its honestly just an insult but geez id have no idea this channel had -700 subs if i saw this blind. i have no doubt this channel will have at least 50k by the end of 2025. im excited to see this amazing editing style and rhythm only be even better overtime as i turn on notifications. the yt algorithm works in amazing ways so trust the process bro. x
The remakes I support are the ones that take an already good game, but the dev’s creativity were limited by technology of that time. Basically the remake is supposed to fulfill and complete the original vision
Kid Icarus Uprising is one of the greatest games ever made and you can play it for hours on end. Use your knees! That way, all of the weight from the 3DS isn't killing your wrist.
The argument that remaking games takes away dev time does not hold up when it comes to corporations like Capcom who can easily afford more devs to make up for the loss and in turn create more jobs in the industry. Remakes are a great idea but the lazy and formulaic approach (more so a problem with 'remasters') is the real issue - remakes shouldn't come at the expense of innovation and originality.
The confusing thing is that a lot of ‘remasters’ are actually remakes marketed as remasters. Dead Rising, Metroid Prime, Spyro/Crash, THPS - all remakes.
@ built from the ground up, on new engines etc - I’m not too sure about Metroid Prime though, it could be on the same engine but I’m not 100% - but the assets are completely remade.
I heard the Dobie Gray version of "Drift Away" and sang along to the entire thing in a warehouse full of old heads. Only because I knew the Uncle Kracker version. Now - I think Kracker might be a MAGA maniac nowadays but I cannot prove this... so - listen to the old version from now on.
the voice over says "new IPs" and it's footage of Helldivers 2, which whilst not entirely a new IP, is an original IP that entered cultural relevance this year due to a new game - as opposed to the twenty seventh Pokemon game
Remakes preserve the best games of all time and makes them future proof. The hate for remakes is artificial. It’s all groupthink. Remakes bad, every game is woke, AAA bad blah blah blah. Just a bunch of sheep.
This is a really great video, with great editing. I'm not sure why RUclips isn't pushing it, might be that the thumbnail isn't working, or the title, or it's bad luck, or maybe in a couple days it will get 1M views. Anyway, we'll get back to this comment when you've 100k subs, keep it up, dude!
bethesda should do remakes sometimes because fallout 76 and starfield are TRASHHHHHHHHHHHH doo doo. I'm what remake cynics hate, people who don't believe in the developers/studios to make compelling original projects. And I hate that I feel that way. But Sony is also doing remakes wrong, bruh they would remake Uncharted 4 if they still wanted to milk the IP and not the PS3 games because they're PS3 games
Im so happy yo stumble upon your channel due to just seeing Leon! Im a big re4 fan haha. Im excited and hopeful to see your channel grow to success in the 100k and beyond!!
I can't take anybody seriously that ask for a bloodborne remaster but pans a Horizon zero Dawn remaster. Yes bloodborne would be great in 60 FPS but go back and play the original Horizon zero Dawn with the very stiff facial animations and the 30 frames per second by the way those two games were only released two years apart it's not like bloodborne is some ancient gain that needs to be resurrected and Horizon zero Dawn came out yesterday.
Great video, brave topic to discuss with how annoying most of the discourse is around remakes. I enjoy the best of both worlds with a lot of remakes and their originals such as Silent Hill 2 and the remake. Started with SH2 original and prefer it, but also love the remake a ton. They both have their own merits and reasons I love them.
Great video. I agree with your points, but to a more extremist extent - e.g. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (I don't mind Remake) and Resident Evil 4 Remake are utter pieces of garbage to me, despite the fact that the original games (which I do love) give my hands and brain aneurisms. I believe this is because of modern game writers and developers misunderstanding the charm factors of the original games, and think they are doing the players right by simply applying Michael Bay style direction and writing to previous work. Of course, this is the same with film remakes. Luckily, the "applying" allows room for the original to be there somewhere in small doses in the remakes. Letting the players rejoice when we nostalgic over a smidgen of familiar motif. But, of course, if we, the consumers and fans, put two and two together, our logical conclusion becomes, "Square Enix/Capcom/etc. are money-hungry lazy corpos, who are treating gamers like cash cows!" when, in fact, that's not true at all. The writers, developers and publishers of these large corporate bodies ARE trying. They just suck. They don't know what players want when approaching the different IPs, whether it be the same story, to feel something, fanservice, much better quality of life updates (like controls), etc., and sometimes, just throw all of it into a game, which makes the game feel like everything and nothing all at once. We have almost always literally and directly told these companies what we would like to see, and the only way we can see if they added what we wanted to see is to spend a lot of time and money just to be left disappointed. It is sad.
To me the line is if a remake changes the gameplay in any significant way. So the last of us remake is actually more of a remaster to me even if it’s remade.
More remakes less remasters I'm a weirdo I like playing the new remake and going back to the original or vice versa. It's kinda like reading a book before watching the movie adaptation.

The bottom line is most modern remakes are, sadly, not better than the originals and often break some of what made the originals such standout titles.
Hey, I might have found another Electric Underground enjoyer. But yeah, we're even seeing remakes just be taking a classic games skin on a modern over the shoulder 3rd person control scheme, that's what all modern "remakes" boil down to.
You probably watch electric underground too I assume lmao. Marks not perfect but I found this video infuriating. Its representative of the kind of attitudes I see as destructive. Board game discourse isn't this awful yet it is for video games.
@@saifal-omaira4569 Ha. Yeah. The Electric Underground is literally the only channel I've ever found that made the "Final Fight" connection with Resident Evil 4 that I've been screaming about for years to puzzled looks from all the clueless casuals that simply respond with, "what are you talking about, RE4 has guns".😆
@davidaitken8503 What marks gets right is that he looks for fundamentals. I used to make RUclips vids back in the day percisely because people didn't. If you look at that, you'll see connections like you did. But most just look at superficial theming, structure and stand out mechanics. Its just so sad. The only place it doesn't happen is serious competitive multiplayer games cause they need it to win. Sigh.
It’s an absolute fucking crime no one got the Dead Space Remake. The sound design alone is insane to behold. Now we won’t get a Dead Space 2. At least not in the foreseeable future.
No
I enjoy remakes and remasters on newer consoles as it allows me to easily play on a current platform and it makes it easily accessible to others!
I also like the updates!

I think that remakes are fine, if the original version had significant flaws. And I do not mean tank controls in Resident Evil 4, or static cameras of old survival horror games.
People often forget that Resident Evil 1 got a remake, because its visuals were outdated even in the day of its release. In two short years, the team at Capcom made a mile of improvements in 1998's RE2. A version of original with better graphics (that still look great to this day) was then granted.
Same thing with something like Black Mesa. The original Half-Life had a massive flaw of its final part being unfinished and pretty unfun. So Crowbar Collective had rebuilt it from the ground up, providing a new (and better in my view) experience.
Now, not only the original Resident Evil 4 is available on every modern gaming platform, its gameplay is still a perfectly balanced blast. The problem with its remake, is that it does not play anything like the original. It's a fine shooter, don't get me wrong, but in the end of the day, its just another shooter with Fortnite control scheme, while the original is completely unique.
Why remaking RE4, when there are a ton of games in Resident Evil franchise in a dire need of Remake, like Code Veronica?
Its like on one hand I get companies doing this, its almost guaranteed to sell. Its like so many developers have made a brand new ip, yet the basic bitch general public doesn't play it or buy it. Its the same general public wanting something new, yet they play the same 3 genres over and over again.
i hate when people say stuff like "algorithm hates dude" cus its honestly just an insult but geez id have no idea this channel had -700 subs if i saw this blind. i have no doubt this channel will have at least 50k by the end of 2025. im excited to see this amazing editing style and rhythm only be even better overtime as i turn on notifications. the yt algorithm works in amazing ways so trust the process bro. x
The remakes I support are the ones that take an already good game, but the dev’s creativity were limited by technology of that time. Basically the remake is supposed to fulfill and complete the original vision
Is Crisis Core 2022 a remake or remaster?
Kid Icarus Uprising is one of the greatest games ever made and you can play it for hours on end. Use your knees! That way, all of the weight from the 3DS isn't killing your wrist.
13:30 Sorry, N-sanity Trilogy may look nice, but it's an absolute bastardisation of Crash Bandicoot game feel.
The argument that remaking games takes away dev time does not hold up when it comes to corporations like Capcom who can easily afford more devs to make up for the loss and in turn create more jobs in the industry. Remakes are a great idea but the lazy and formulaic approach (more so a problem with 'remasters') is the real issue - remakes shouldn't come at the expense of innovation and originality.
The confusing thing is that a lot of ‘remasters’ are actually remakes marketed as remasters. Dead Rising, Metroid Prime, Spyro/Crash, THPS - all remakes.
I agree that to the eyes they look like remakes but were those actually built from the ground up or those just some seriously overhauled remasters?
@ built from the ground up, on new engines etc - I’m not too sure about Metroid Prime though, it could be on the same engine but I’m not 100% - but the assets are completely remade.
I think the average uneducated gamer would consider a game that doesn’t get like a gameplay overhaul and just a graphics update a remaster
jeezus the production quality is amazing
I heard the Dobie Gray version of "Drift Away" and sang along to the entire thing in a warehouse full of old heads. Only because I knew the Uncle Kracker version. Now - I think Kracker might be a MAGA maniac nowadays but I cannot prove this... so - listen to the old version from now on.
13:11 This footage seems to be unrelated to the voice over.
the voice over says "new IPs" and it's footage of Helldivers 2, which whilst not entirely a new IP, is an original IP that entered cultural relevance this year due to a new game - as opposed to the twenty seventh Pokemon game
Damn, you're underrated
I’m glad this came up in my recommendations dude, well put together video
Was that sonic snd shadow fucking kissing at @3:07 ? Dude ....
Remakes preserve the best games of all time and makes them future proof. The hate for remakes is artificial. It’s all groupthink. Remakes bad, every game is woke, AAA bad blah blah blah. Just a bunch of sheep.
This is a really great video, with great editing. I'm not sure why RUclips isn't pushing it, might be that the thumbnail isn't working, or the title, or it's bad luck, or maybe in a couple days it will get 1M views. Anyway, we'll get back to this comment when you've 100k subs, keep it up, dude!
An amazing video, honestly expected this channel to much bigger. Keep it going!
bethesda should do remakes sometimes because fallout 76 and starfield are TRASHHHHHHHHHHHH doo doo. I'm what remake cynics hate, people who don't believe in the developers/studios to make compelling original projects. And I hate that I feel that way. But Sony is also doing remakes wrong, bruh they would remake Uncharted 4 if they still wanted to milk the IP and not the PS3 games because they're PS3 games
Im so happy yo stumble upon your channel due to just seeing Leon! Im a big re4 fan haha. Im excited and hopeful to see your channel grow to success in the 100k and beyond!!
if it doesn’t control like fortnite, i don’t want it.
But learning how to play a game is hard
I can't take anybody seriously that ask for a bloodborne remaster but pans a Horizon zero Dawn remaster. Yes bloodborne would be great in 60 FPS but go back and play the original Horizon zero Dawn with the very stiff facial animations and the 30 frames per second by the way those two games were only released two years apart it's not like bloodborne is some ancient gain that needs to be resurrected and Horizon zero Dawn came out yesterday.
Great video, brave topic to discuss with how annoying most of the discourse is around remakes. I enjoy the best of both worlds with a lot of remakes and their originals such as Silent Hill 2 and the remake. Started with SH2 original and prefer it, but also love the remake a ton. They both have their own merits and reasons I love them.
Great video. I agree with your points, but to a more extremist extent - e.g. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (I don't mind Remake) and Resident Evil 4 Remake are utter pieces of garbage to me, despite the fact that the original games (which I do love) give my hands and brain aneurisms.
I believe this is because of modern game writers and developers misunderstanding the charm factors of the original games, and think they are doing the players right by simply applying Michael Bay style direction and writing to previous work. Of course, this is the same with film remakes.
Luckily, the "applying" allows room for the original to be there somewhere in small doses in the remakes. Letting the players rejoice when we nostalgic over a smidgen of familiar motif.
But, of course, if we, the consumers and fans, put two and two together, our logical conclusion becomes, "Square Enix/Capcom/etc. are money-hungry lazy corpos, who are treating gamers like cash cows!" when, in fact, that's not true at all. The writers, developers and publishers of these large corporate bodies ARE trying. They just suck. They don't know what players want when approaching the different IPs, whether it be the same story, to feel something, fanservice, much better quality of life updates (like controls), etc., and sometimes, just throw all of it into a game, which makes the game feel like everything and nothing all at once.
We have almost always literally and directly told these companies what we would like to see, and the only way we can see if they added what we wanted to see is to spend a lot of time and money just to be left disappointed. It is sad.
Good video, just subbed. You’ve got a career in this bro!!
i really like 'Halo 2: Anniversary', the remake of Halo 2!!
To me the line is if a remake changes the gameplay in any significant way. So the last of us remake is actually more of a remaster to me even if it’s remade.
More remakes less remasters
I'm a weirdo I like playing the new remake and going back to the original or vice versa. It's kinda like reading a book before watching the movie adaptation.
I feel that way too
