Worst Gaming Remakes - Leave Good Enough Alone [Bumbles McFumbles]

Agreed. Half of (basically the only) reason I play it is for the character interactions. It felt like an experiment with the combat system, which wasn’t bad, but when all subsequent games goes back to the previous system, I feel like that’s saying something.

I recall hearing that Conker was originally planned to be "Conker: Live & Uncut" and was to feature absolutely no censorship. Retailers threatened to refuse to stock it if that happened though, so Rare had no choice but to tone it down even further than the original if they wanted to be able to sell it.

Peter Moore has said this is the case. It wasn't Microsofts doing, it was retailers threatening to not stock it.

[@jonahj9519]

I like the idea of the Fawful song. Having his boss theme be a remix of Cackletta’s theme is a cool refreshing. The actual song itself though is kinda lame. Really slow and low energy, which doesn’t really fit one of the more chaotic bosses in the game. Dark star boss theme slaps though.

No Sonic Adventure DX? That port of Sonic Adventure has destroyed most of its looks, atmosphere and even lighting and made it far UGLIER than before, with additional bugs and lower quality textures and sound effects/voice clips. And even its improvements over the original have issues. Such as: -Skipping cutscenes IS an improvement, but it looks like it cuts straight with no transition. -Mini-Game Collection IS cool and all but why only the Game Gear versions? Especially since 8-Bit Sonic 2 is SO much better on Master System. -Mission Mode may make the game longer, but it's almost more an asset flip than an actual mode. Also, it's poorly balanced, as Sonic has like 75% of all the missions to do. Also, as a middle finger move, there is a bug that can make Tails' Adventure unavailable to unlock despite how you cleared everything. And even the DX models are either inconsistent or buggy despite "looking better". Sonic, Tails and Amy revert to their Dreamcast models anyway in some scenes/when spinning. Also, Sky Deck is missing voice clips and Tikal has lower sounding clips, as if she was talking through a can. Also, let's not forget the infamous Emerald Coast loop bug in DX. Non-existant on the Dreamcast version. And the WORST thing about it? Since it's the more accessible version of the game, people THINK that Sonic Adventure was ALWAYS this rushed, ugly and buggy. Sure, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle has its own issues over the original (looking at you, Story Mode cutscenes!) but NOWHERE near this bad. And the Dreamcast original SA1 was never this bad. There's even a blog showing everything that got butchered in the process and a video for those who don't want to read.

[@Skellotronix]

Sonofabitch I didn't know it was that egregious. I'll need to go back and replay DX and then OG SA1.

@@Skellotronix You can play on PC with the Dreamcast Conversion if you want the original version but with DX's best/inoffensive additions (hell, they even added a cut to black to make skipping the cutscenes more professional).

I just hate when you can tell there’s no respect for the original. Oot put glitches in because they loved and respected the original vision enough to respect their fans love of those glitches. You could tell they really didn’t want to mess this up. They even fixed the biggest sour spot for most people. More remakes should be held to this standard. That and REmake1. Compare Oot’s approach to a remake to Majoras mask and you can feel the lack of respect for the original work.

About the _Turtles in Time_ remake: The word you're looking for is "aesthetic". It's the reason why some older games with dated graphics (e.g. _Jet Set Radio, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Kirby's Epic Yarn,_ so forth and so on) look fine even today, while other games look like crud even though they came out two weeks ago, polygons be damned. Graphically, the _Turtles in Time_ remake is low budget, but not bad within itself. No, the damning part is that the aesthetics look like someone submerged it in a pit of grime, making the visual all dark and muddled, instead of crisp and vibrant. When it's difficult to discern one object from one another, and all of the backgrounds congeal together into one heap of shit, you should know that you right fucked up.

[@user-jl7cz2pe6d]

To be fair, have you tried beating the original Fawful's Express on a 3DS? That fight is borderline impossible due to that stupid fire breath attack. ..I learned that the hard way. I had to find an old barely working DS just to get past that part.

[@syweb2]

That sucks. What about the 3DS makes it so difficult?

[@user-jl7cz2pe6d]

@syweb2 I'm not exactly sure, but on a 3DS, 8 times out of 10, the flamethrower attack just won't register correctly. The DS' and 3DS' mics could probably be just too different. Because when I attempted the fight again on an old DS, I beat it the first try.

[@ajflink]

Fun fact about PS4 controllers: There is an option for the console to play with the controller plugged in via USB port making it function as a wired controller instead of being wireless. I have no idea if this virtually eliminates input delay. In addition, you will need to buy a long cord as the one that comes with PS4 consoles is too short for this to be practical.

My opinion on remakes is pretty simple; Ether be faithful, or be different. Pretty much every time a remake goes arwy, it's because they just could not settle on doing one or the other. Obviously you don't have to go 100% on ether side, in fact you shouldn't, but generally the best remakes ether bring the old game to a new engine and a new audience with some QoL and that's it, or they change themselves up to the point of being an entirely separate, but still recognizable, attempt at the same concept.

This is why the gold standards of remakes will always be Resident Evil REmake and Metroid: Zero Mission. Those philosophies were applied perfectly.

I’ll be honest, I think the censorship criticism towards live and reloaded isn’t really all that big of a deal. I mean I can agree that it doesn’t make sense and wasn’t needed, but for people to completely dismiss this remake as outright “bad” is kind of blown WAY out of proportion. Maybe I would understand this criticism more if they removed gory or controversial scenes, but if anything they’re even more violent and cruder, such as Berry’s extended death scene, the great mighty poo now flips you off towards the end of the first cutscene in poo mountain, and thanks to the new hardware the squirrel electrocution is much more graphic. And this whole censorship thing seems to undermine the big improvements that live and reloaded has, such as the updated shooting controls, which makes spooky and it’s war much more fun in my opinion. Basically, I can agree that the censorship wasn’t needed, but I simply CAN’T agree that it single handedly ruins the entire experience.

[@Hugelag]

I really enjoyed the Bowser's Inside Story remake because I was still a broke boy and didn't have a Switch yet. Plus, it was shiny and I could have a reason to play it again. Though at the same time, they really should've put it on the Switch. Release it for both systems, that way everyone's happy. Heck, do a compilation with the Superstar Saga remake and just slap Partners in Time in there. That way, the 3DS owners get the definitive experience and Switch owners get to experience the games for a possible first time. Heck, PiT didn't even have any touch screen use, (from my knowledge) so they can just use the Z buttons for swapping screens. I'm still bummed about the loss of Alphadream, so I'll just have to hope that Nintendo makes more inhouse. Also, shout out to the Luigi's Mansion remake. Convenient way to play it, but I can see why people want it on the Switch. I don't really care for the New 3DS right stick.

I actually unironically think the NES versions of Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 look nicer than the All Stars port versions of the games, and the entire NES trilogy _sound_ better than the SNES versions. I always have believed this, even when I was a small child. And for the sound part, there are some really baffling choices regarding changing what sound effects are cued to what actions - the sound effect that _should_ be used for jumping on Goombas is instead used exclusively for hitting fireproof enemies with fireballs. It's one where I can concede the convenience of compiling the entire set of games onto a single cartridge is a well worthwhile shortcut, and that _objectively_ a lot was added visually.

I think there is also a place to talk about remakes/remasters that fuck up the tones of the original. Yakuza Kiwami, while improving the combat largely, it added things in most every aspect that changed the somewhat serious while also over the top tone of Yakuza 1 became the hyper over the top wacky tone, especially with Majima. A lot of sidequests, as a result of reusing a lot of assets from Yakuza 0, have many sidequests that originally ended with a somber tone end with a funny little guitar twang and an onscreen notification. While I'd still rather play Kiwami, I do regret what we lost with the original. Kiwami 2, however, is great and improves pretty much everything, to my knowledge.

Ha, i support ya on Ko-Fi and somehow, ya next video has a Bubsy "What could possibly go wrong" quote show up. Nice. (Bubsy fan). I do think alot of remakes fail to understand what made the original good sometimes, but there are remakes that can pull it off good or at least have their own charm to it that is enjoyable in its own right. For instance, with the N Sane Trilogy remake, the fact they put Crash 3 physics and controls into the Crash 1 and 2 level shows how different those games played and felt from each other... and how with those physics, alongside everything not being boxes, the levels become more of a pain to deal with now compared to the originals. Also yes, THPSHD was a mistake and it got replaced with 1+2 entirely. I still feel bad for Robomodo, they clearly tried to make a good game since, but Activision... you can never know what Activision will do, one moment you're making an original Tony Hawk game, taking in all the requests and such and wanting to clear your name, the next you're made to rush to absolute hell and back a THPS5 because Activision doesn't want to renew a contract, you end up having your company killed right after the game's release as your name is now only known for bad games and to put the cherry on top, Activision goes back on that contract some time after like they're pissing on your grave after being the ones to bury you in the first place. Really sad. Good video tho, dude. Looking forward to that Tester vid heh. I know the pain, unfortunately, so good luck man.

Parappa's visuals were done by Rodney Alan Greenblat, not C H Greenbalt. C H Greenblat was a storyboards for Nick and Cartoon Network shows and also created Chowder

[@ZiroZenStudios]

One nitpick I have with the BIS remake, the fundamental issues you brought up aside, is the fact they NERFED THE MAGIC WINDOW I MEAN HONESTLY WHAT THE HELL?! GIVE ME BACK MY “EXCELLENT” SOUND DOPAMINE MACHIIIIIIIINE!

[@SuperConroy99]

I got super worried when Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga got mentioned, but then I realized that it was about the Bowser's Inside Story 3DS remake... and while I do realize nowadays that yeah, that wasn't the best move on AlphaDream's part, it was how I experienced Bowser's Inside Story so you're not about to hear me complain!

[@sunnyd1722]

I will never stop defending Twin Snakes. It is an improvement in every way

[@SportsGaming-ll3ru]

I get that BiS was the most popular but like everyone owned it and it didn’t need anything, Partners In time definitely needed it more

[@Inferno144]

I was sad to see the remake for Bowsers Inside Story flop, and even more so end Alpha Dream. It just...lacked so much charm from the original. Luigi no longer joins his brothers chant whens starting a fight, the AMAZING glass shattering effect before fighting the final boss and STILL NO BOSS RUSH FOR BOWSER.

[@epicness877]

Also a weird opinion, conker would be my favorite 3d platformer.. If it had better movement :p

[@LashanaKaos]

I love The Twin Snakes precisely BECAUSE of how over-the-top it is. It's still my favorite of the Metal Gear series.

[@Z00PG00P]

Welp... Rockstar gave us a new one to add to the list boys.

[@singlecellll]

cant wait for the remake of this video where the only difference is the voiceover and video are slightly de-synced

[@andreworders7305]

RIP AlphaDream, death by stupidity followed by Nintendo not buying them for some reason

[@lizardwithinternet1314]

A good example of a remake: Black Mesa, it has all the soul still, but does things to try and improve the of half life, for example the voice acting, you can finally understand what they’re saying.

[@PurpleLPikmin]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who refuses to acknowledge the existence of Partners in Time.

[@DizzyNPeas]

Good video! Also, I like your choice of F.A. cards :P

[@Qysmuth]

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who actually liked Partners in Time

[@Patolagos]

Wait, so the Bowser's Inside Story remake is terrible just because of it's bad sales?

[@LinkDing]

5:27 I forward that question to whoever thought Twilight Princess HD was a good idea.

[@ZoofyZoof]

Another awful thing about the Bowser's Inside Story Remake was the amount of removed or changed content from the original. The Challenge Medal no longer makes the game difficult. No, it makes the game extremely, EXTREMELY easy. It makes you do like 10 times more damage for no logical reason. I beat the hardest boss in the entire game like 20 levels under the recommended, because I was able to do ~7,000 damage IN A SINGLE HIT which was more damage than the boss's entire HP stat. Gear in general was buffed to the point where wearing literally anything makes the game a cakewalk. It's... beyond stupid. Why is the gear so needlessly powerful? If I want any challenge I have to wear literally nothing. To put some salt on the wound of gear problems, some gear was limited to only 1. In the original, you could get 2 pairs of D-Star Wear. In the remake, you can only get just one pair. Why? Why did they feel the need to do this at all? It's such an irritating change. There's also the changes to the badges, which if I recall correctly is a rather minor change... But there is ONE change that annoys me SO. GOD. DAMN. MUCH. Magic Mirror is no longer infinite. In the original, it would continue to get faster, faster, faster... It would reward you for being able to keep up with the pace, it never stopped until you messed up. It felt extremely rewarding to pull off a long string and dish out a ton of damage, but no. It ends now in the Remake. You don't get to do it infinitely because I guess this game hates you. There is only 1 thing that this game does better than the original: The bosses. Believe it or not, I truly believe the bosses are more difficult in the Remake than the Original. They seem to deal more damage, on top of having more brutal, stricter windows to counter their attacks. That's the ONLY thing that the game manages to improve upon from the original. Also I do not like the fact that in Bowser's giant sections he is facing the wrong way compared to the original game. It's very uncomfortable from what I'm used to. I got genuinely confused the first time around when it wanted me to turn my DS the other way around...

[@jarahknuckey9064]

Plus, Bowser Jr.'s Journey is a strategy game where you can't strategize. That's always fun, right? A game that can't even live up to the genre namesake?

[@ZoofyZoof]

@@jarahknuckey9064 I mean, at least it's kinda fun

[@tlozfreak888]

"Witchcraft, burn it" made me laugh, several times.

[@bobalinx8762]

15:02 That’s RODNEY Greenblat, C. H. created Chowder.

[@nabbitgohome9672]

4:13 There is Partners in Time but at least they didn’t bring the one (gimmick?) into the next game (the items you have to buy)
