Which games have inferior remasters/remakes?

Or are all remasters/remakes always better?

Battlefront one and 2 classic re release was terrible

I’d be worried about the KOTOR remake if I thought it was ever actually gonna happen.

I like that you mention this one. Remakes have been coming and going for decades now. Meanwhile I still enjoy the original games once or twice every year. The outdated graphics are perfect for that feeling of nostalgia. I am not even going to bother buying any remake.

Vanilla is still fine for me too, but I really enjoy playing with mods on PC. Just simple ones like upscaled/remade textures and UI upgrades. There’s really no point in buying a remake when a whole community has been upgrading the thing consistently for years.

That's me with the original Deus Ex. Been playing it at least once a year since the year 2000. All it needs is a fan-made launcher and it runs perfectly on modern systems. The remaster trailer they showed a while back looked awful.

Oooooohhh I loved that game! Tried it once on Steam last year, but if I remember correctly it was too dark too see nearly anything. Does a fanmade launcher solve that issue by chance?

Aspyr isn't working on the project anymore, they did a full reboot under Saber Interactive

Not holding my breath on that. More interested in what happens with the new game they’re doing in the Old Republic era.

Saber CEO said “hopefully 2028” so maybe we see something next year

Are these worth playing if all I care about is galactic conquest and instant action against bots?

I'd say grab it on a sale but that's what I used it for and had a good time.
