      I think we need to make a distinction between remakes and remasters. Full on remakes like RE4 should be allowed to compete, remasters or remasters masked as remakes shouldn’t.

      because they are good. The Thing is one of my favourite films of all time, it’s a remake.

      Because those remakes are very different from the originals. They’re more like new games based on the originals.

      Can we stop slut-shaming remakes? The main reason people hate remakes is because they confuse remake with remaster. Remaster is the same game with a new paint of coat, remake is a reimagining of the original. Music is probably the best medium for a comparison, songs get remastered all the time, but it’s very much the same song that just sounds better now. A song remake is a different take (usually by a different artist) on the same song, essentially a cover.

      We tend to be more critical of covers but nobody would dismiss a good cover just because it’s a cover. So why do we do the same with games?
