  • Definitely for me big alarm bells.

    Look a remaster should or could have obvious upgrades, sometimes it’s visuals, videos, style, controls etc. that to me is good.

    But that quote specifically tells me “the game has been changed for current day sensibilities” and I hate that. I feel it takes away from what the original had in mind, for good or bad.

    I understand that many media have been racist/misogynist/ageist and accept that it was a product of its time. But I don’t think it does it any good to essentially pretend that it didn’t happen and I feel we’re just pretending it isn’t what it truly is when it’s changed.

    I do think remakes are different however. I feel they are taking the idea of the original but redesigning it in a way that the new designers for see.

    BUT the fact is, that quote is only ever seen on media that hides the past, not remakes the future.
