And do we really need them ? The only remake I've played is Metroid Zero mission. But I'm sure there are going to be all sorts made in the near future. As the price of game development goes up it only makes sense that the video game companies will start being like Hollywood and remake old games on news consoles. They'll save money on developing a story, and characters and they can even recycle musical score. Plus they'll have a built in user base who remember how awesome the game was the first time they played it. Sure they might ad a feature here and there but it's still going to have the same story. And isn't story a big part of playing a game ?
It's like remaking a Black and white movie. Sure you can create a new version of King Kong with all kinds of cool CGI and 5.1 sound, but is it a better movie ? Shouldn't we consider the original movie/game being remade as being great for being so innovative at the time ? I mean we can't have people always claim the newest version is the best. Otherwise how can we expect people to consider games a real form a media like movies and music. Remakes are not always better, the music and movies industry has show us this.
Anyways, it just something I was thinking about.
