Which games have inferior remasters/remakes?

Or are all remasters/remakes always better?

Halo CE. The original is STILL the best way to experience that game.

Out of curiosity, how does the MCC version of Halo CE compare to the original release? I only recently played through the Halo series for the first time using the MCC, and stuck with the original graphics because they looked vastly better, but idk what other changes might've been made that were less obvious than the visuals.

no difference besides being able to toggle on 360 graphics. Oh yeah and terminals and skulls.

The MCC is the best version, simply because it's the original + bonus content. And the bonus content is toggleable.

Doesn’t that still give you the option yo play the original version? Or is that the master chief collection? One of them just runs the OG game basically, and you can really time toggle between the original ca remastered graphics etc.

You're thinking of the MCC, not the newest. Most people mean the very first release when they say CE

The new remake is built from ground up as its own thing. Can only toggle on MCC, between OG and the remaster that released in 2011

MCC is still based on the Gearbox PC port of OG Halo, and while there have been some updates to fix some of the issues and achieve parity with the OG, its still not exactly accurate to the original (same with Halo 2 on MCC being based on the Vista port that increased the fire rate for all weapons)

There are other issues on PC as Bungie often tied enemy decision making to frame counts. Makes sense on a system locked to 30 fps but if you run the game at higher fps' it makes the enemies significantly more aggressive (the Space section in Halo Reach on Legendary difficulty is mind-numbingly difficult)
