When a game gets remade, they usually do it in the absolute laziest way possible which usually includes leaving almost everything as close to untouched as they possibly can get away with while still slapping a pricetag onto their new HDR effects.

When a movie gets remade, everything gets fucked up.

I think pretty much only nostalgia junkies get off on remakes.

That said there is a difference, usually a game remake at least has improved graphics, or if they're really ambitious improved mechanics, where as a movie remake just remakes the entire move with different actors, and sometimes try to change things which had no reason to be changed just to be different.

There is that problem with remakes in general, as they only remake things that were good the first time, rather than things that actually needed improvement, but if they were good the first time, why not just watch/play the original?

So remakes almost entirely revolve around remaking things that didn't actually need a remake.

Original Game - doesn't run on modern systems
Original Movie - whether it's on VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray it's the same experience

Remade Game - higher resolution graphics
Remade Movie - can't see past the lens flares

Remade Game - micro-transactions
Remade Movie - why does this even share a name with the original?
