Remakes of older games

[Prelauncher]

Man I loved Oddworld Stranger's Wrath! Such a fun game. Nice to see a remake of it ^^
Nah, I don't mind remakes. With new tech you can update your games to keep them alive for new audiences as well as keep them enjoyable for the fans. Just because a game is old doesn't mean it's bad, so why not give it a nice polish? Like Halo Anniversary, a perfect remake of one of my favourite games of all time.
I've noticed with a lot of old games that I remember loving and being all nostalgic about that when I go back to play the game I discover how outdated the gameplay is and that the game just isn't enjoyable anymore due to this. A remake keeps them fresh. That said, remakes should perhaps not get priority over new IP, I think they should be kept as sideprojects unless there's nothing better for the developer to do.
