Remakes focus on graphics and tend to do very little for the story or its characters. I do enjoy some remakes mysekf, but when it comes to choosing, I´d rather companies spend time developing new games even if it takes longer. I feel nostalgia about old games, but not to the point of feeling disgust towards remakes. At the end of the day, remake or not, it´s content that I enjoy

I like remakes for the quality of life updates they give-
I wouldn't have played a lot of games if they didn't have remakes/

I don't care for remade games; don't get me wrong, I understand the want for them. And as others have shared, they are great for getting new people into the games.

But I would rather have a new game than a remake; some games are just a product of their time and should be experienced that way. The remaster of Oblivion is a good show of this; yes, the game is beautiful, but the jank is what made Oblivion such a good game, and without that it just feels like it's missing something.

re2r was a really good remake but personally I would love new ips. but then again, I'm not really a huge fan of triple A games in the first place.

I'm not the biggest fan of remakes, you can always still play the old game yk. I prefer new games with new concepts and ideas and storylines over just improving graphics of an already well made game. Also, AC is peak!!

This question is kinda too varied to answer cleanly to me?? Like, theres remakes, rereleases and remasters.
A remake is from the ground up, and sometimes cool stuff gets lost within that. A rerelease is what it says it is, and a remaster is taking the old game, and just fixing it up a little and dusting it off.

All can do damage to a game, or even save it. Like imagine how many younger people have discovered games they like through say, the N64 emulator in the switch alone.
But thats just a rerelease with some bonuses like save states and such.
