What Makes A Good Remake?

Technology keeps improving and some games might benefit more than others, but is that all?

In 2019 so far, games have already gotten the Resident Evil 2 remake and they just got a new trailer for the years-missing Final Fantasy VII remake, plus a MediEvil remake coming this October. Within the last few years, we've gotten remakes for Japan-only Fire Emblem games, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Majora's Mask, Pokemon Yellow, and more. Some of these games changed more than others, some of these were total overhauls.

What's a good example of a game that did it right?

Having fun when i play it. That's about it.
Cause' you know, it's a video game.

The voice or the looks not being perfect is something only a die hard fan would care about.

SE should focus on what they want to do and allow Nomura to actually finish a project before pulling him away for another project.

When it’s equal to or greater than playing the original game

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5221d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212121d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5221d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5221d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani21d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum22d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman22d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim21d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I disagree Batman

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
