MasonicGamer.com: The Top 5 Worst HD Remasters is exactly what you think it is, five titles that somehow managed be worse than what came before it. There are two types of modern day updates one can do with an old classic, one is to simply get the game running and update assets where needed which is basically a new coat of paint on an old framework. The other is a full on remake which tries to stay faithful to the original yet is running on new code.
During the course of this list you’ll see examples of both methods at remastering a classic, you’ll also see how you can screw it up. The games mentioned here are so bad that you wish the developers had just got the original version running without making a single change.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.
I would’ve focused on the creative.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Man that last picture is horrifying lol! Eye teeth! D:
I agree with these though. Especially for the Ninja Turtles one. I LOVED Turtles in Time, but when I tried the demo of that one, I quit half way through... It was a real disappointment. I'd just gotten Bionic Commando Rearmed too, and it was so amazing. That's an example of an HD remake done right.
I wasted my money on Re-shelled, and Super SF2 Turbo HD wouldn't be so bad if they allowed CPS1 soundtrack at least.

Bionic Commando Rearmed wasn't too bad, however I wish Capcom allowed for the original version to be downloaded with it to show how different the older game is compared to now; with a translated version of the original JP version called "Top Secret: Hitlers revival!"
Medal of Honor: Frontline. They said it was a HD remaster but it wasn't. It was just the same game but released on a HD console. What also made it worse is they never bothered to fix the areas frontline needed fixing.
I loved the street fighter 2 remix.
I gotta agree with the writer when it came to the new art style of SSF2T HDR. However, the game was a very nice hold off until SSF4 was released. My biggest complaint with SSF2T HDR was the horrible netcode.
