I find the idea that all old games need remasters/remakes very disrespectful tbh. Artists worked hard on those games back in the day. I can justify improvements to performance but updating visuals such as lighting and textures to be prettier or more realistic often misunderstands what the original game was going for.
I’ve been playing a lot of Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction lately, and the graphics are a huge part of what makes the game feel like it does. The remaster is really good, but it doesn’t really hit the same vibe. What the old game (and a loooot of other old games) needs is a whole buttload of quality of life features. Something different mods have done a very good job of taking care of for Diablo 2.
