@MoissCM@TaylorsShelf If done properly, a remake can bring something fresh while also capturing the tone and feel of the original. Too much deviation might as well be considered a reboot.
@MoissCM@TaylorsShelf There are plenty of remakes that are essentially just modernizations of the titles. It doesn't just have to be a graphical update, either. They can still build upon what was already there (chars, cmbt, etc). I believe a remake has failed if the original identity is lost as well.
