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.
Today it was announced that the gaming and anime industry has lost another beloved artist and creator. Mutsumi Inomata has passed away.
The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.
Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(
I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.
Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela
They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.
Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.
I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.
Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.
Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.
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.
