>a remake of a classic film comes out
>is seen for the soulless cashgrab it is and universally panned by audience and critics alike
>a remake of a classic game comes out
>is hyped to shit and it's creators have their dicks sucked constantly by new and old audiences alike
what is the reason for this curious dichotomy?
The output of quality vidya is so low that people celebrate remakes of older games because atleast in theory it should be a good game.
What are some good vidya remakes?
You can just watch most of these remakes on home media and most of them don't do much new for the story, whereas in order to play past games you need an emulator or the original console and game.
Remaking an old game appeals to the nostalgia crowd and to kids who likely wanted to play these games but missed out on the originals, but don't use emulators or want to bother getting the original systems
Don't forget shit like the BatB film remake got praised or that the Majora 3DS remake gets shit thrown at it all the time.
>what is the reason for this curious dichotomy?
Cherry-picking, same as usual.
Kimba The White Lion
It would be a much better film if it was a live action with fursuiters and +18 scenes.
Movies are timeless, most video games from the older generations aren't.
Shhhh you are going to piss of the Disney shills
>is seen for the soulless cashgrab
you are a brain damaged retard
or maybe the movie isn't good you brain dead piece of shit
Well Yea Forums?
This is pretty much it. A movie can't be improved in the same way an interactive piece of media can.
One remake is visually unappealing and not at all a direct upgrade of the original production. The other remake is seen as an upgrade and therefore has appeal.
NONONO DELETE RIGHT NOW
Because the film industry and the vidya industry are two completely different industries with different types of sleeze
Surprised at how few people actually know about this.
yet both are doing the same shit
B-but we wuz lion kangz, wyt pipo is keeping us oppressed and shieeettt
Of course.
Nala is prime Disney waifu material.
Go outside
>got a better phone
Seriously? I see it mentioned in the comments of almost every Lion King video
Lion king still visually holds up
Games like spyro dont, even if it might have aged the best of all those games back then
Mechanics can be streamlined, controls tightened up, midi music can get the full orchestra treatment, better voice acting, the list goes on. An incredible movie already tends to have access to what makes a good movie fantastic from the get go, and tends to fail when one tries to improve it.
Not that game remakes are always praised. That Sh2 remaster comes instantly to mind as a fucking joke
>remake of classic film is a downgrade
>changed from one of the most visually impressive creations of all time made by people at the pinnacle of their craft to a soulless cashgrab made by interns with zero artistic ability
>is panned
wow who wouldve though
>Mechanics can be streamlined
often a negative
>controls tightened up
Sometimes the case, more often radically changing the gameplay style giving the player far more control where the game was designed to have less
>midi music can get the full orchestra treatment
Again, not always better. Etrian Odyssey and Touhou and games where I don't think the music would be improved by moving up from midi as it would change the tone/style of the game a lot.
Man, Lion King was really beautiful.
SHUT
IT
DOWN
soul>souless
Did these guys even watch the original the lack of color stands out so much
Because the original didn't have an art-style predicated on technical limitations.
The Lion King wasn't made with polygons and MIDI music, it had a full orchestral score with high-budget animation.
This remake isn't fixing something that was broken, it's a fucking cash grab that is unnecessary.
Compare that to FF7 and RE2 which are unplayable in their original forms.
>Compare that to FF7 and RE2 which are unplayable in their original forms
You were right until that last remark. 7 and re2 still hold up really well due to their pre rendered backgrounds
If you think otherwise you're a nostalgiafag
