7 Remakes That Changed the Most

[@renatomuchiuti1728]

I'd rather watch Muppet Treasure Island than any other version

[@greed-1914]

It's the only version of that story I care to watch.

[@VeWatchesVideos]

To be fair, the "wooden" acting in the early Silent Hill games was apparently intentional. The VAs of Harry Mason and James Sunderland have gone on record saying that they were specifically coached to speak this way and the voice director wanted them to sound somewhat unnatural to add to the off-putting, dream-like feeling of the setting. That said, I think Bloober's take on it by just making the characters sound depressed and "out of it" works just as well.

[@mitrovarr]

I mean, perhaps partially, but it's also a little amateurish. I mean, given how little training many of the voice actors had, it's amazing it's as good as it is, and it was great by the standard of the time, but standards are far higher in 2024.

[@otaking3582]

Are you sure that's not just Japanese voice directors not knowing what sounds good in English?

[@SimuLord]

"We...did it on purpose! Yeah! People will believe that in 25 years!" Sorry guys, I was an RPG freak in the PS1 and early PS2 era. Lots of voice acted games. If stylistic suck was a trend, it was an industry-wide one, which is a bit too much of a stretch for me to believe it was a long con. Heck, I'm old enough to remember debates on GameFAQs about whether voice acting was going to be the death of gaming and how we all missed reading in FF6 and other SNES classics because it didn't break immersion as much as voice acting did.

[@mitrovarr]

@@otaking3582 there are parts of it that clearly are not. Like, the recordings aren't well made technically - they sound like they were made on cheap streamer gear from 10 years ago.

[@otaking3582]

@@mitrovarr That part is likely due to audio compression. The guy that voiced Harry also did the voice of Dracula in Symphony of the Night (another Konami game on PS1), and the opening "What is a man" exchange doesn't exactly have the cleanest sound quality.

[@BogeyTheBear]

Sid Meier's _Pirates!_ has an aging mechanic where your character becomes gradually worse at swordfighting the longer you allow him to continue his career as a pirate captain (endgame is pulling into port and retiring to the good life with your wealth). This wasn't a problem in early versions of the game because the boss characters you had to duel in order to rescue your wife and family all used the slowest, heaviest sword on hand as their default weapon... ...then came the patch, which changed one little thing: All the enemy boss characters switched to the lightest, fastest sword instead. This lit a fire under every player's butt because, if you took too long to set about completing the story objectives of rescuing your family members, you would grow too old to defeat any of the bosses holding your family hostage.

[@SimuLord]

That's part of why I will ALWAYS argue that Port Royale 2 was a better game than Sid Meier's Pirates (especially when comparing the 2004 version of the latter to the former, which was a 2004 release.) The combat mechanics in PR2 (a trading game/light city-builder at heart) were far crisper. And there was no dancing minigame in PR2.

[@dojelnotmyrealname4018]

@@SimuLord Can they make a new port royale game that doesn't kinda suck already?

[@Treblaine]

A rare example of a game punishing you for delaying the rescue to save your family to complete side quests. Seriously, you left your family so long you became senile. Father of the year.

[@evrfreez]

Man. Unless you're fast-aging because of a curse or something, the implication there is that it can easily take 20-40 or more years to rescue your family. Hate to tell you this, but your family's probably moved on by then, one way or another...

[@ShadowOfCicero]

The slow sword was also the defensive sword, so they switched it to prevent the player soft-locking (especially on higher difficulties).

There’s actually a few hints throughout Silent Hill 2 that it’s not actually a remake but a sequel where James is trapped in a time loop.

@@joshuastephens2133 For starters, you cannot compare RE2 remake to RE3 remake. It is objectively much more complete But regardless of that, remakes aren't supposed to be replacements for the original games. If you want to play B scenario, go play the original Resi2 remake may have only remade one scenario, but it did a good job of it. It may have changed things around, but it was all for a good reason. It was genuinely a good game that you could enjoy that reinvented the genre. I mean, the layout for one, is so much more intuitive! What kind of police department has its help desk *at the back, facing the wall??* So regardless of the obvious issues that RE2 remake had, it's still a great remake. It didn't misinterpret the characters, it didn't cut content (quite the opposite, it expanded it) and it did all that while nailing the gameplay. Because Resi2 remake's greatest achievement, is that it's actually terrifying. It's tense, it makes you feel helpless, and they improved on Nemesis with their iteration of Mr. X On the other hand, Resi3 remake is just a scary action game.

Best Remake that changed everything: Link's Awakening. It changed the art style while remaining somewhat faithful in spirit to the original, it removed the tiled rooms from the overwhelming majority of the map to give the game a more open world feel, and it removed some of the more wonderfully terrible glitches, like when you left your cartridge in the gameboy too long and the game did what can only be described as "A great big fucky wucky", wherein you found yourself missing all usable items, having all hearts, and stuck because you couldn't get anywhere.

You really wouldn't if you saw the original. Resi3 remake may be fine, but only because it burrows Resi2's already great mechanics. In reality it's a huge downgrade of the original.

The game did have some good moments. E.g. voice acting, i like that they did more with the UBCS members, and the few area's they kept and did expand on were pretty cool. But overall the things they got right do not even remotely compensate for what they did wrong. It actually highlights what they did wrong and makes the negative stuff stand out. And it's frustrating because we know they can do allot better, they proved that when they remade Resident Evil 1 on Gamecube. I will hold my hands up and admit there's a bias on my part because the original RE3 is my favourite in the series. But they really dropped the ball with this one. And honestly to a slightly less extent they dropped the ball with RE2 Remake too. It had good moments, it was well made it functioned well. As a game it's pretty good. But as a Remake it just sucks.

To be fair to the guys behind the Golden Eye remake, the people who own the franchise are absolute tools when it comes to which Bond gets into any given game. After all, the original Golden Eye was supposed to let you play as multiple Bonds, but it got nixed. IIRC, there were a number of games in development between the Pierce Brosnan / Daniel Craig switch in the movies that had to swap from Brosnan to Craig mid-development. I think there was only one game that was allowed to keep Brosnan, but that was because they'd already printed a version for one console and were prepping for releases on the others.

While I haven’t played the original DS version of Another Code (Trace Memory in America), I do have the Switch remake and did some research on the original. The remake not only has so much detail in the environments, but also a new first game design for Ashley, a redesigned DAS to keep the joke of it looking like the console you’re playing on, and even reformatting how the in-game photo album works so they could keep a puzzle that previously required you to close and reopen the DS to line up two pictures on the screens as the Switch only has one. And the controls feel really good to use. Nintendo definitely put a lot of love into the remake collection, and it made me want to find a copy of the original game to see just how much has changed.

[@no_genius]

That’s a different puzzle, when you close the DS to ink a stamp. The one you’re thinking of is where you move the screens together so you can see the reflection of the bottom screen in the top screen. (I was playing on a 3DS and I don’t think the screens are laid out for that to work properly, but it was hard to tell)

Strider (2014). Who knew that turning an action platformer into a metroidvania-style game would work out so well!? Oh wait, everyone who played Symphony of the Night and any Castlevania that came before it.

[@RavenousSpectre]

Red 13's voice did a 180 at cosmo canyon....it was horrible! Lol

[@jardex2275]

I'd say Star Fox Zero is a remake of Star Fox 64, which itself is a remake of the original Star Fox.

[@caphowdy666]

If you can call it a remake, the biggest change for me was the game Syndicate on the Amiga in 1993 getting a total reinvention on the PS3 in 2012. Went from an isometric squad based game to a first person shooter.

[@tomireland3644]

A deliciously meta outro that I didn't see coming Bravo 😄💚💜

[@bromleyben2004]

The remake of Suikoden II is coming out soon and I'm really looking forward to it. A little peeved at the price, so I'll have to wait for a steam sale methinks.

[@CrazeeAdam]

I think despite how much many of these changed, most are still pretty dang good plays

[@seanmc2999]

I stand by the twin snakes, and super mario for the 3DS, both excellent improvements on classics, ridiculously high bars to try and clear both.

Ellen: "Told you Red had a sexy voice" Me: Oh no, she haven't played Rebirth yet

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Speaking of missing old videos, I do miss OutsideXbox Style.

[@colinspeirs]

I feel disappointed as to Andy saying that my childhood video games would be referenced Not a sign of "Computer Space" or "Pong" If you were going to do "Computer Space", then the "Star Control" series could be used as a changed remake

[@darklinkinfinite]

Does Silent Hill: Shattered Memories count? As a fan of adventure games, I loved the new take on the gameplay, and sure I eventually figured out how to get through the chase sequences, the first one I encountered was the most panicked I’d been in a video game in a long time. the fact that you can’t defeat the enemies and it was easy to get lost and turned around. I loved the psychological profiling angle and how the game changed due to your decisions, both the explicit (“here pick between these”) and the subtle.

[@RhiannonlivesforRamen]

I may be wrong but I have played the original Silent Hill 2 a hell of a lot and in the remake every main location was very different, if you can't see it just by being there, the maps show it. Anyway, big fan of the channel! Apologies if I'm being contrary 😂

[@tripplec6798]

Epic Mickey Rebrushed fixed the issue with the safe cracking quest i can NOT stress how important this is. Basically the good path to opening a safe in Ostown was so difficult that barely anybody did it to the point the sequel made the bad route canon. It was that hard to do the good route in the original.

[@nickbender9233]

The Shadowrun remake kickstarter is a legitimately good game.

[@danielarosindo]

Andy's face was amazing 😅😅

[@lettherebedragons8885]

Looks like he has a stroke

[@danielarosindo]

@lettherebedragons8885 and is at gunpoint 🤣🤣

[@Michael_Lindell]

A more honest title could have been 'The Penultimate Of Us', although that might also be wishful thinking...

[@chrismanuel9768]

"There's Not That Many of Us Compared To Before, But To Be Honest, There's Still Quite A Few" would be a bit long

[@abydosianchulac2]

Anyone know what video Andy was watching in the intro?

[@pierresmee4769]

i think it was their first video..? still a very good watch.. their humour together was always spot on.. will see if can find the link if no one else does it first..

[@EricHVela]

Does a serious glow-up of the Hornswaggle puzzle in King's Quest (1984) to King's Quest (2015) count as a remake if it's just a tie-in.

[@seraphonica]

okay, but Dwarf Fortress being remade out of being called "Dwarf Fortran" deserves a mention

[@sethneville]

The Shadowrun Returns trilogy is solid. Not blow-your-mind story or gameplay, but defintely entertaining if you like the world. I'm currently platinuming them after a long break.

[@firdawesome3203]

Shout out to the legend who wrote that 'ship of Theseus or Sugababes' line

[@jbluewind4727]

What about sequels that changed the most? Jak and Daxter vs Jak II. The tone shift was WILD. A fairly wholesome E rated 3D platformer with a silent protagonist to a T rated action adventure third person shooter that the news was comparing to GTA and warning parents about.

[@ArtificialIyDeranged]

For anyone curious, it's spelled "Maastricht". It's the treaty that established the EU.

[@rjlack1975]

In the remake of this video, Andy will be replaced with a sock puppet with a mohawk.

[@reffwe]

The ship of theseus/sugababes reference - chef's kiss!

[@st.anselmsfire3547]

There are a couple of other ones worth talking about: Flashback - the remake is completely different, to the point where I'm not even sure why they considered it the same game and not just a spiritual successor or something. Final Fantasy III: The DS remake gives the four nameless heroes names and personalities, even going so far as to canonize that three are boys and one is a girl (their genders were ambiguous in the original version). They even sort of lock in "preferred" jobs for them, and they give "some" much-needed context to the final boss, the Cloud of Darkness. And that's before you get into some major changes to the job system that radically changes the gameplay, like how the ninja and sage were originally broken "hidden" jobs that you had to find in a secret passage during the two-hour final boss gauntlet, but now they were just really cool jobs you get from the last crystal. The best part? Westerners didn't even know that this was a wildly different interpretation until the Pixel Remasters came out and we were able to play the first six Final Fantasy games in their more or less original versions. While the other five games were a fun stroll down Memory Lane (even the much-maligned Final Fantasy II), Final Fantasy III was a totally new game for most of us.

[@OutsideGamerGirl]

Ella's comment of don't look at me like that, you did this to yourself is the most British statement ever.

[@thepyrokitten]

Maybe it's just me but I actually loved the Xbox Shadowrun. It felt like a half-finished product but it had a ton of flavor and features that games at the time didn't. It also predated Hero Shooters but had all the same elements.
