You could add to the remake argument to revitalise a series if it has gone dormant (which you mentioned a little) or struggling, to see if gamers are interested in more of those games. Two examples from the top of my head are the Crash N Sane trilogy and the Advance Wars Reboot Camp, the former as the series had struggled in recent years and possibly causing the market to lose interest, and the latter without a game in the series for 15 years. The end result for Crash saw Crash 4: It's About Time being created and well received. Not sure on sale figures for Advance Wars though and wouldn't be surprised if that goes dormant again. For the technology angle, I believe Shadow of the Colossus came out on PS2 to wide acclaim, but I heard it struggled a bit on the hardware, to which the PS4 version was released (which I played and really enjoyed in fairness).

Yeah. I totally agree...

Sheep shagger.

One point at a time

I think a remake is warranted only if the original had such poor tech or sales that the remake helps that (which is rarely ever the case). The other reason to do a remake is anniversaries for dev/publishers or the franchise has gone cold and is getting a new version so they do remakes. There are very few companies that do this right and Naughty Dog is not one of them. Why redo TLOU at all, it was a great game already and made them so much money and a tv show it makes no sense. With Capcom and RE I can see why. The originals were on really poor tech and they do remakes rather well because they totally change the way the game plays so you're not getting the same game/overall story. With RE4 I was so disappointed that they never went back and did the original demo they did at the Tokyo Game Show where Leon used a torch through the entire gameplay with a gun and if you lose the torch you were basically playing in the dark.

That Matt Jackson victory lap in Chicago sure aged well.
