When Does A Remake Stop Being The Same Game?? (pls help)

lol same thing happened to me look at what teh remake changes in accsesibility and quality of life. saves, difficulty options and controls are often the biggest improvements for older party games.

idk man that sounds like bad advice tbh

ehh idk man that sounds like bad advice tbh. pro tip: write down what u change, i didnt and had to redo camera from scratch

the real fix was the friends we made along the way

yeahhh remasters are great for preservation. They keep the original design intact and make it playable on modern hardware, which matters as older consoles get harder to find. good luck man!

For me a remake works when it keeps the core loop and changes teh presentation. Once the pacing or structure changes, it's a reimagining and should be judged as its own game. worked for me anyway 🤷

ehh remasters can also go wrong: low-effort upscales that break effects or lighting are arguably worse than a bold remake. just my 2 cents

im literally losing my mind here ok this thread just saved my weekend... for me it was the router... swapped it and boom, fixed

😭

@paula_lambda tahnks for the perspectives, im gonna stop worrying and just enjoy both versions of my favourite JRPGs.
