I don't think remasters are a bad thing, I just think that remasters should actually be closer to the scale of remakes, the crash games are. Simply increasing the resolution and ironing out some bugs isn't enough for me. Crash had a great remaster, it was almost a full remake considering they are adding in cut content among other things and I'd like to see more of that.
There are quite a few games I'd like to see visually updated to modern standards but keeping most of it intact. Diablo 2 (same artstyle too!), Warcraft 3 (I think this is going to happen haha) and Demon Souls.
Absolutely! I love some of the great remasters that are being made, and yes absolutely a resolution bump and ironing out bugs simply isn't enough, an overhaul in terms of the entirety of the gaming elements needs to be done for a great remaster to be born.
Diablo 2 and WC3: Frozen Throne were amazing games and definitely need remastering!
