    Everyone loves to play their favorite video games... I mean they're "favorites" for a reason. But what if you could experience your favorites again.. remade. Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Pokémon, Metal Gear, among other major titles. We've been seeing a LOT of remakes and remasters lately. Why is that. Is it all good? All bad? Let's talk about it. Spoiler alert, it's somewhere in the middle.

    Actually Final Fantasy 7's remake was pushed away for the longest time. Square Enix kept denying making that throughout all of 6th gen and 7th gen. This is due to Square wanting to make other games (FF10, FF11, FF12, FF13, FF14, FF15) instead of going back to the well.
    they only caved in because the original devs who worked on it were started to realize they were getting old and the window for them to remake it was closing. This is why they didn't announce it until 2015

      I always thought the FFVII Remake should have been more like the Resident Evil Remake for the GameCube, with all the pre-rendered background being more detailed as well as the characters models. But I think that would have been difficult since FFVII's asthetics have changed since the release of Advent Children, I mean the original FFVII was very cartoony, or should I say anime, don't think Nomura was going for a realistic artstyle, I think that was a reason why the game took so much time to be made, since they had to find a new look more consistent with the spin-offs
      Now I'm wondering if Square is planning on remaking previous FF titles, there's some rumors about FFIX remake. On the Enix side of the company we have more remakes of the Dragon Quest series, with DQIII remake being made in a HD-2D style, I wonder if Square has considered remaking one of the first 6 FF games in that style as well

      I have a little theory that it's also partly because of Sakurai. When he asked to include Cloud in Smash 4 Square Enix initially wanted to make him put Noctus in the game instead since he was the most recent protagonist. But Sakurai refused and replied that a lot more people knew about Cloud and would be a better representative to the entire FF franchise.
      I think Sakurai's words was a wake up call for Square Enix that made them realise that they were leaving money on the table by leaving their most iconic entry in the series untouched for so long and ignoring the fans request for a remake.

    • @pablocasas5906
      @pablocasas5906 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      @@wintersong2266 actually Sakurai met with Tetsuya Nomura about bringing a Final Fantasy character to Smash and Cloud was Sakurai's first choice, Nomura told him “are you sure you’re okay with Cloud? He’s not a character from a new game, after all", but Sakurai responded "if you think about who to add from FF, it’s hard to come up with a choice that’s not Cloud". Sakurai other options were Bartz from FFV and Terra from FFVI, but he thought people wouldn't know who they were, and while at the time FFVII never appeard on a Nintendo console, Cloud was the most recognizable character from the most popular game in the series, so that's why he choose him, and at least Cloud appeared in two games on Nintendo systems (Kingdom Hearts and Theatrhythm).
      Though it's kind of sad that the only FF representation in Smash comes from FFVII, Joker came with tracks from P3 and P4 and Hero represents DQIII, IV, VIII and XI. Same thing with Ryu and Ken, they only represent SFII while Terry has music from plenty of SNK games and Kazuya has tracks from all of the main Tekken games.

    This is really going to hurt game development in the long run. There's a whole new generation of game devs that are just focused on enhancing someone else's work rather than bringing a whole new creation into existence. I appreciate basic re-releases because it helps us play games on modern hardware, but spending so much time on remakes and remasters of games that probably don't really need them feels like a waste.

      I can see your point, however, some remakes and reimaginings that can bring new life into a game, or the uncharted territory of redeeming a bad game (Devil May Cry 2 for example) can be valuable experiences for both the player and the dev. Maybe its good for devs to learn from the past to improve the offerings we get today

      I think that remasters/remakes should be done only when it's necessary.
      The Last of Us Part 1 is the perfect example of a unnecessary remake/remaster. There hasn't any need for that game and yet they still did it...
      But the recent remakes of RE games are a great example for doing remakes/remasters at the right time: with the RE4 remake ending, I'll be happy to see RE5 and RE6 remade, with certainty that they'll fix the mistakes of the OG versions.

If you watched any compare and contrasts between the show and the game, without fail, they were using the remake footage. It is beyond clear to me this was the true purpose of that remake- Even in some pieces referencing the 2013 release, they are using the remake footage!

    Replacing the original game is always a finicky thing. My biggest issue (mostly with Capcom) is the remake taking the mantel of the original game's title with no subtitle. It's not Resident Evil 4 Remake. It's just Resident Evil 4. When you search for RE4 now you'll get a mismosh of both games but favors the new game so get fucked if you're playing the original. This is a trend that goes outside games and is why as a fan of MGS I'm immediately okay with whatever Konami does to MGS3. Simply because the game is not called MGS3. It's subtle but makes a huge difference to me.

      I'm also on the younger age group of RE fans but prefer the older games. I was only 5 when RE4 came out and wasn't even born when RE2 was released. I do remember my brother playing RE1 on our childhood and I rediscovered the RE franchise around 2014-2015 and made me a fan of the franchise ever since. Even though I couldn't afford the games and I didn't own a PC/console (only watched my brother play pirated versions lol) then, I fell in love with the lore and characters and would spend hours reading on Wikis, forums, and watch gameplays and cutscenes in TH-cam. I do wish they would port the old games on modern consoles.
      I agree with what you say that many people are treating the remakes as replacements, and the changes in the storylines and character motivations and personalities in the remakes feel like the OG stories and characters are being retconned. I saw so many arguments of people not understanding the characters and story, like for example with regards to Leon and Ada's dynamics. A lot of people that only played RE2 remake are questioning the relationship between these two since the remake made Ada manipulative and callous towards Leon. Whereas in the original, Ada, while being undercover, was a very gentle, calm, but secretive and mysterious character who likes to run away from the eager Leon for the sake of accomplishing her mission. Not to mention they also replaced her canon death too from Leon B scenario, which she died by saving Leon from the Tyrant. Their relationship in the OG is what made their chemistry palpable in the OG RE4.
      The problem with remaking RE is that the OG timeline is yet to be given proper resolution especially after RE6 left us hanging since RE7 just gave us a new story and character. Thus doing more remakes will certainly come off as rewriting the whole lore of the OG.

      With RE5, it's possible to get a remake, the big hurdle is the coop part. For RE6, it will take a massive change because of it's large cast, intertwining storylines confounded even further by the coop. I don't think Capcom will risk making something on grand scale like RE6. An RE6 remake will have to be downsized significantly and splintered like a mini series.

I would say RE6 needs to be revamped from the ground up. I liked it but it more of a Michael Bay movie than survival horror game.

    Thats the thing with the gaming industry nowdays, where mobile games make almost 50% of all the profits in the whole industry and most AAA studios/publishers are publicly traded companies with investors that want as insane profits as possible with little investments, so what do studios decide to do? Instead of trying to create something new which takes time and effort, just recycle the old stuff that people love, costs less money to make and generates good profits. This is why becoming a publicly traded gaming company/studio in 90% of the cases means death of all passion from that studio which is a shame. Now remakes and remasters have their place, there are many beloved games that aren't or are hardly accessible anymore but what is happening now is just milking of an almost dead cow. Great video!

  • @0KJaye

    Remakes happen imo because when technology was newer it didnt allow some games to do what Devs actually imagined. My favorite examples are final fantasy games. Im confident turn based rpgs originally were a product of restriction rather than solely game design.
    The other half is from the consumer view point. We all pictured in our mind how for ex. turn based combat ACTUALLY looks in real time or how certain blocky characters would look with greater detail. Thats why things like advent children had awe factors.
    With all that said the last part is devs & consumer have a limited amount of time in life. & most have SOME desire to relieve what they used picture in thier minds but this time in actuality.
    Its a power emotion that cant blame anyone for possessing.

    As for remakes in general they can be hit or miss, Majora’s Mask 3D made some changes fans didn’t like, Hot Take coming here: Sonic 3D Blast on Saturn is arguably the best version since it has better visuals, new soundtrack and 3D Special Stages, then again you could argue Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on GameCube is great as well, and Sonic is not known for having good remakes and remasters either, see: Sonic Adventure DX, Colors Ultimate and Origins. Kirby has great remakes with Nightmare in Dreamland, Superstar Ultra and Return to Dreamland Deluxe, lastly we even got Metroid Prime Remastered and Advance Wars Reboot Camp which are both worth checking out.

    I agree with everything said. There is one game I've wanted to play "legally" with DLC that is only available on PS3 because I bought it all back then. Now, the game's (and many other games, like NCAA Football 2014) DLC has been made unavailable to anyone who didn't buy WHEN the game was released.
    There's no reason we should HAVE TO buy a "remaster" or "remake," especially when that "new" version is only a cash grab. I could go on for hours about this, so I'll end with what I've said.

    a big problem is the conditioning big companies do to audience belief something is "outdated". We don't really say old movies (outside of themes or message) are outdated cause they can always be seen again but not games - if its slightly old, its outdated/clunky/retro/weak in graphics/technical hardware - its gaslighting plain and simple
    in reality - those old games are as strong as they are because they were made in a era where they had to succeed or fail/flop where now companies release shoddy broken games with mtx, nothing on the disk if even have a disk release, and still somehow homogenous and empty and not worth it
    hence their constant today's push of "accessibility" - broad appeal for easy suckers who don't remember how good games used to be and accept the mediocre industry we're currently in with no complaint, hence the buzzwording of it, it isn't good to make for anyone cause that's a game with no direction or passion just a goal of endless money by broad appeal
    a good remake is RE1R but no other is as close to as that REmake and show the pointlessness of do it cause trendy til there's none to remake left - what's worse is the older versions never get ported leading only to emulation as the way through
    FF7R - in the sense its a poor remake and really can ruin the old one if u didn't play it or know it beforehand as it heavily can screw that plot up
    In short - a good game is always timeless, it not being something u like doesn't mean its bad or outdated just means you're more used to modern games "QoL" than older games or just not liking certain genres

    This video is perfect because I was thinking lately how everyone trashes a certain remake I played. Well two of them. One of them I liked and the other was just [Ok].
    These remakes are Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Resident Evil 3 Remake. Now for context I never played either or the original RE3 or Yak 2. So jumping into these games were supposed to be a new experience while I played plenty of the other classic games in their franchise, these are both games from these franchises I never touched...so what did I think of them.
    Well first let's talk about Resident Evil 3 Remake. This game was Okay to me. It wasn't a bad game per day but it felt so short lived. Like I legitimately told a friend I never finished RE3 remake and need to go back to finishing it. But to my surprise when I went to load an old save I went back to the last level and had new game + already unlocked. And then I remembered! "Holy shit...I did finish this game!" But the ending was so unmemorable and just outright not as good as RE2 remake. That I simply just didn't remember it. And upon me realizing how short the game actually was. I didn't mean to beat it so fast but I did. And thought I didn't. But let's talk about...
    Yakuza Kiwami 2. This game...is a game I love! So much so that it's in my top Yakuza games. right after 5 and 0. But I hear other people trashing it as a remake. But to me I didn't get that experience because again I never played the original. So to me this game felt perfect I mean absolutely perfect in almost every regard. Its just a game I can go back to and play but wait a second...what's the difference between the remake of Kiwami 2 and RE3. Why is it that I love one and hate the other.
    And I think the problem is, is that While Kiwami 2 might not be a GREAT remake. It's a GREAT game. Whole RE3 isn't either it's not a good Remake nor is it a particularly a great game either. Don't get me wrong it's not a bad game. I had still had fun with it. But my overall experience with RE3R was..."it was alright."
    So to me Remakes feel like they have a lot to live up to. You have to bring new fans who never played the original. But you also have to bring in old fans who loved the original. So when I look at this video it explains why Kiwami 2 was so divisive in the community. Kiwami 2 was simply a great game & hit all the spots that a game needs to be, to be good. While RE3remake didn't do either. So thanks for this!

The golden era of gaming (90's to mid 2010's) were the result of a lot of experimental games that took off as cult classics. They're chasing these originals into remakes pipeline because they know they'll sell like hotcakes. But new & genuinely impressive IP's(excluding rarities like Hi-Fi Rush of course)that will also sell tremendously are done & over with among the AAA space. Indies are now where that's at.

    My issue with the Final Fantasy VII Remakes is that they’re not even fixing the issues with the original game, but rather changing the story of the original game and it’s sequels so it become overly convoluted like it’s a Kingdom Hearts game, changing characters for no reason just so they could “subvert” everyone’s expectations for the worse. And it just has too many ideas, that should’ve been for various FF7 games.
    To me: a Remake should fix the original game’s issues & outdated gameplay mechanics while still being closer to the original game in storywise characterwise, and gameplaywise. Capcom’s Resident Evil Remakes did an amazing job at fixing the issues with the Older RE games, while also adding new content as well as staying closer to the original game without making it completely different. Even the Dead Space Remake did the same job as the Resident Evil Remakes, for letting Issac Clarke to talk, while also some new elements that weren’t in the original Dead Space.

Why was FF so beloved when Sakaguchi was head of the franchise? It's not like he wrote the entire stories for his FF games. WHAT HE DID DO is recognize good and bad ideas that came to him, gameplay and story-wise, then incorporated the GOOD. He knew how to delegate and get the right people in the right roles. He knew how to manage and get things done on time. Nomura is abominable at all these things and his track record speaks for itself. Great character designer, bad at everything else.

The game is actually a sequel to the original which you figure out as you play it. While you still replay the orginal story beats, the timeline was changed by future Sephiroth, so the events of the OG would change.
    If you look at the game from the perspective of it being a sequel which isnt supposed to invalidate or replace the the original as some form of definitive edition but rather enforces the OG to still remain relevant, then you can appreciate for what it represents. Alot of things in the ramke make more sense and give you a different experience if you played the OG rather than if you go into it blind. If a new player picks up FF7 remake, there is an incentitive to pick up the OG and play it and then come back to see what changed and why.

    Personally, I think it's way more likely for me to play the FF7 remake than the original. I despise turn-based combat.
    I tried to play Chrono Trigger, one of the most beloved JRPGs of all time, and I got way too bored at the 30-hour mark to carry on, and was absolutely baffled by the fact I wasn't even halfway through the game after 30 goddamn hours. All I could think was "how can a game so uneventful be so much longer than a platformer or a shoot em' up?"
    So I have the impression that if I were to play FF7, I would hate it a lot. But the remake's combat seems to be much more interactive and interesting, and while some of the story changes seem to be a bit frustrating, I don't think they overshadow the absolute pain and boredom I feel with the average turn-based combat.
    In that light, yeah, I don't think I'd ever consider playing any Final Fantasy game period if they weren't remade with a more dynamic combat, and I think that's worth something.

      And you're sure as hell not the only person who thinks like that. Many people would never touch a certain popular game for one reason or another. If that aspect of the game is changed then they can tap into that audience. While I loved the combat in 7R, it still feels like a vastly different game from vanilla FF7. Turn based combat is closely tied to that feeling of that original game and no modern recreation can perfectly emulate that. But if that new version appeals to a new audience that are aware isn't not the same thing but still prefer that cause it better fits their tastes, then I see no harm in that. Some folks are too concerned with other peoples experiences.

And while I could've tracked down an og copy of the game it's easier to play the newest version on the newest hardware and I'm glad I did because it was one of my favorite game experiences and i only got it because they remade it.

    FF7 Remake was a disappointment for me. I'm not familiar with the original title besides cultural osmosis, so I dunno how faithful every single thing was. But I made en educated guess while playing that these events probably didn't take 30 hours to play out, you didn't have three bland sidequest hubs to do chores in, you didn't have a weird night out at town racing a rando motorcyclist and you didn't have a bizarro plot thread where the auditors of reality harassed people until you could enter a hole in space and do something very silly.
    And of course, it probably didn't end at the end of the first act, which I feel is why that whole ghost BS was added in the first place. It's not to make some galaxy brain commentary about remakes. It's not about art at all. It's just 'cause they didn't have enough money to do the whole game in one go, and therefore added in the ghosts plotline to get something that felt more like a finale at the end.
    As a new player, it feels like a ridiculous waste. The most expensive-looking JRPG ever and nothing in the story is moving me at all. The only feeling I got was exasperation.
    It doesn't really matter if the blame lies with Nomura, Nojima, or any businessmen Square Enix have that dictated the scope of the game. The story is bad. It's been bad for many other games with the same creative teams, too. The Nioh developers' Final Fantasy game, Stranger of Paradise, would probably be a better game if absolutely no one from the Square Enix side were involved at all. The most promising thing about Final Fantasy 16 is that it's people from the MMO team, which at least have a good reputation.
    As far as the gameplay goes, and apropos FF16, I'm happy FF16 just straight up hired a Devil May Cry combat director and are going for action. I think these combination systems aren't as fun as either a straight up action game or a straight up numbers only RPG. I don't wanna pause to select lightning to use on the "weak to lightning" enemy in an action game, and I don't wanna spend a numbers game awkwardly manouvering around a battlefield and homing automatically in on enemies.
    It's a pretty big bummer for me when a game like FF7 Remake gets all the hype, when something more faithful and lowkey like how Nintendo and Grezzo did the Link's Awakening remake would probably have made for a better game. You might not have got to walk around a photorealistic Midgard, but you also wouldn't get any of the numerous flaws.
    As far as I'm concerned, the key with these remakes is to use a light touch and not slack off when it comes to the fine details. Beloved classics usually remain so because they had something special. Unless you're a really incredibly developer, who seriously believe you can one-up a classic game, you stand to lose more than you gain by messing with it. It's not necessarily about being similar "just because that's how the old thing was". It's about being similar because _that will have the best result._ It will give you the better game. When being faithful means being good, you should be faithful.
    For Metal Gear Solid Delta, I hope their only changes are updating the game graphically and improving the speed of the UI manouvering you had to do. It's really all you need.

      There wasn't rando motorcycle racing but there was comically sized chicken racing mere moments after an extremely emotional and heavy scene. It's not the same but the original is every bit as wacky and zany. And it was definitely no stranger to tonal whiplash. The more egregious padding does still really hurt the game though, especially considering the game didn't even need it. If they took the side quests out of the game completely and made the mandatory padding chapters (ghost graveyard, Leslie, drum) and made THOSE side quests) it would have massively improved the game. There's already enough content there. Imo people only complain about the content or lack there of cause they have the original to compare to. If that point of reference wasn't there, no one is gonna come out of FF7R saying they were scammed by an incomplete game. If you have no knowledge of the original though then yeah, no matter what the story overall isn't really gonna do much for you. They should have marketed the game as something you play only after having played the original from the jump

    Resident Evil 2 & Dead Space remakes made me glad that remakes are a thing. RE2R was completely fresh, and DS1R felt like a better more polished version of the original vision. Resident Evil 4 & Final Fantasy 7 remakes were good games, but I didn't really enjoy them all that much, and they both kind of succeeded at making me hate remakes.
    RE4R and FF7R stripped their original stories of their unique presentations, but even with improvements and expansions, the changes didn't really make for well executed stories on their own. Both remakes had good combat and characters, and looked great, but the overall gameplay experience was flattened into the generic evolution of what they helped inspire and the atmosphere and vibes were ironed out in favor of realism.
    I don't dislike realism, just that sometimes adding "realism" in a remake means the same iconic designs are rendered with realistic geometry, textures, and shading, and other times "realism" means replacing unique art design with bland standardized modern design to match what we'd see if this location were a real world setting.
    By far, the worst thing about these particular remakes is how the discussion around these games changed from "yeah, this game is so good, here's my unique and well thought out perspective of why" to "the original/remake is garbage/superior, here's the same explanation why you've already heard parroted verbatim a thousand times."

    Remakes or even remasters have never really appealed to me that much in gaming because I view video games as a form of art, and good art, regardless of when it was made and what it was made with, is always timeless in my eyes, but many people, particularly spectacle chasers, insist on remaking every classic game imaginable because every major game now has HD visuals, so now the classics have to have HD visuals as well even if it compromises the original vision of that game. To me, this doesn't treat video games as pieces of art, but rather as disposable toys. The thing about art to consider though is that art is best made when the creator's vision is undisturbed (Or at the very least redirected towards a better version of itself), but developers often work for companies that only care for profit and they force the artists to make artworks they most likely don't want to make, especially if it's a remake, but the higher ups say to make it because it's what's making money right now.
    That's pretty much why we are in a remake craze, it's not necessarily the fault of the companies or it's employees, it's the fault of the customers who are demanding every old classic game gets remade, the demand and success of both FF7R (Which I think is very overrated) and RE2R are proof of this, there had been remakes in the past before these games, but after these two remakes released with both critical and commercial success, the frequency in remakes started to become more and more frequent, to the point that we already got the remakes of RE3 and RE4 when not even five years ago we were gushing about a remake of RE2. Hell, I remember being blown away by how photorealistic RE7 looked in the RE Engine back when the beginning hour demo first released in 2016-2017, if you told me I was getting RE4, my favorite game of all time, not a decade later again with that same level of graphical fidelity, I would've spent an evening giving a cactus a blowjob because I would've lost a bet.
    But here's the thing, even though I liked the remake of RE4, it did not need to be remade, nor do I prefer the remake over the original. Remakes are also often not made by the same people who made the original, and therefor their vision will be widely different from that of the original creator's, which is why we get reimaginings more than proper remakes. The RE4 Remake also did not recapture the feeling of playing RE4 for the first time either. Playing and falling in love with a video game for the first time is akin to sex for the first time, the first time is always going to be the best, and a remake won't recapture that. You want to recapture that feeling again, play and fall in love with something new like how I recently did with DOOM Eternal, Stranger of Paradise, and A Hat In Time.

    • @NerdAtWork

      While you make some good points I'd say ff7 remake is a good example of art that didn't get to tell its full story. Alot of things were cut or changed to the story and game due to the hardware limitations of its time.
      You look at an artist who draws or paints something when they were a teenager and redraws it 20-30 years after having been in the art industry its not going to be the exact same. No artist wants to draw it exactly the same. They'll want to show how much they've grown and changed since. You were limited to how much you knew or could do at the time. Maybe this time you have better proportions, lighting, Anatomy. Maybe this time you drew it digitally instead of traditionally.
      For me remake gave me a chance to see alot of things as I viewed them as before as a kid. As a kid og made me feel like turn based was as action packed as remake actually is. Remake gave me a better feeling of what a first class soldier was. That power and speed. This is why they are the best of the best. The small 3d models looked as fleshed out as they are now. Now I get to see subtle changes in clouds expression like when Jessie complimented him and he has a small smile but tries to hide it.
      While alot of remakes Maybe just cash grabs. Ff7r felt more like an artist wanting to use all of their accumulated experience to recreate a story that they couldn't before, while also trying not to erase or throw away the original story.

    Potentially controversial statement below but, with the recent influxe of games, shows and movies redoing what was already done with slightly to substantially disappointing results, I must say I'm really grateful for what Final Fantasy 7 Remake did.
    Yes, it has turned off a lot of og fans away from it, and it could be heavily argued that is suffers from the same pacing and padding issues that plagues tons of other gaming remakes, but FF7R really went out of its way and reimagining not just it's combat which feels super responsive and satisfying, while also keeping the Materia system that so many people loved, but also used its pre established lore to set up new plot threads and possibilities that has made my anticipation for the next parts way higher than what it would have been had they just done a one-to-one retelling.
    The way the main cast has been reintroduced with expanded characterization on their personalities and arcs along with their interactions with one another not only flourishes me as a fan of their original interpretations, but also leaves me excited for just how much more theu can do with these characters i know amd love.

    Relaunching games on newer systems does is not inherently a bad things, to do so all it really takes is adjusting the code bases and maybe fixing bugs or glitches. Things like doing complete graphic overhauls or just completely redoing the game like Square is doing with Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Interlude, Rebirth, and Crisis Core is something else that takes away the ability for something new for the existing franchise and or preventing something entirely new such as a new IP.
    Relaunching games can be beneficial when it is a done to just update an old game for a new system but when things like FF7 Remake, Last of Us Part 1, RE4 Remake, Demon Souls Remake, Etc only hinders what could have been something new in terms of games. Neir Replicant is an example of the game needing it to pretty much get played seeing it sold pretty bad on PS3 and XBOX so copies got expensive the moment Automata blew up while RE4 and Final Fantasy 7 already had multiple ports making the game playable in about 4 or 5 different way.
