What games do you think should NEVER be remastered, because they're close to perfect as they are? (lemmy.world)

Any games where a remaster could never stack up to the original.

Inspired by this post, asking the opposite, what games do you think are worthy of a remaster: https://lemmy.ml/post/6091201

For the most part I agree with you but generally want controls remapped to match current conventions. A lot of PS2 games are hard to play because they were making button layouts up as they went and it interferes with my muscle memory!

Yes the control remapping can be a big deal for sure coughsystemshockcough

I finally got a chance to play 'Bounty Hunter' the PS2 Star Wars game a few years ago on PS4.

The controls were inverted x axis and couldnt be changed. I couldn't get through the first level.

I used to insist on playing games inverted but at some point I switched and now I feel your pain!

I'm an inverted Y axis guy to this day... but inverted X? Unplayable. Lol

Thanks for clarifying. I misread that because it’s so unusual! Maybe they were trying to make it “fun”.

I never played Spyro growing up, so I don't have the nostalgia boner for it, but my partner did. Watching them play it was infuriating. The difficulty in the first three games is based entirely on the controls being dogshit.
