Halo 2 anniversary was good but I'm one of those people that would have preferred halo 1 campaign remade in the halo 2 engine instead of having a visual overlay with the collisions from the original models
If that's your fancy then sure, but I much prefer a remaster, especially when you can swap on the fly between old and new, I feel like that should be a requirement for them. You can't really do that with a remake, as the physics etc will be different.
Counterpoint, the System Shock 1 remake was an absolute banger and probably would not have been possible in the modern ecosystem as a faithful remaster. It absolutely needed to be cooked again from the ground up, and Night Dive did this very skillfully and turned a game that, while good, was notoriously difficult to parse and control, into a modern immersive sim RPG shooter that anyone can understand.
Remakes can be good when the team behind them understands the product that they are remaking and the audience that will be playing it.
the only reason to switch for me was if it was a better visual reference for alignment of glitch maneuvers or if the collisions were off by too much. For me nostalgia filter makes the original look better in my memories than when I actually go look at it again, and if the game is 100% identical under the hood I will exploit every bug and glitch out of habit even if I don't want to.
I suppose with a game that old there is a good chance of something similar to what happened to majora's mask 3ds happening (character movement worse, boss mechanics dumbed down to the point of being insulting but also not even working well) if they were to change much more.
It's just nice to see what's changed in X amount of years. People who wouldn't have bought the original will buy the remaster, then be able to see the old graphics, maybe even prefer it. To get a firsthand look at the original is a nice touch, understanding how they built the world with the limitations they had and to see how far we have come. But each to their own.
