What was this generation’s best remake?

[Baka's Weird Case]

So when all is said and done, I think one of the trends that defined this generation is the number of remade video games we got. While I think reflects kind of poorly on the state of the gaming industry, there is no denying that we got some great games in the process.

But which was the best?

I’m leaving remasters and reboots out of this, only games that got full-on remakes. I’m also leaving out fan-made remakes like AM2R

FFVII R for me. It was the announcement that had me feeling a special way very few game announcements ever do, and the game itself still surpassed even my wildest dreams.

RE2 is top ten this gen. Better than most “new” games to come out.

Without thinking too hard about it it's probably Resident Evil 2 because it improved on the original in every way and was still faithful to the original. There's no reason to play the original ever again at this point unless your nostalgic.

FF7R was not entirely faithful and had a divisive combat engine. Plus, without spoiling, it makes you play the original to get the full story.

i almost chose ff7 but i think re2 went without any serious complaints whereas some people feel the changes in ff7 are a step down storywise. i know i wish the regular and harder difficulty levels were turn based.

Resident evil 2, easily. Switched up the gameplay while staying true to the original.

Play that game on an OLED screen with some quality headphones while traveling in a dark area.

I only played RE2 and SotC on that list. Both GOATs tho

 

[The Mad Titan]

Ff7RE
Resident evil 2
Samus returns (highly slept on)

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

RE2 is probably the winner, but I gotta throw in for Black Mesa

Half Life is still one of my favorite FPS games of all time and BM was an indie project.

Now I want to see a System Shock 2 remake, even though the last Prey was pretty close.
