Any games where a remaster could never stack up to the original.

Inspired by this post, asking the opposite, what games do you think are worthy of a remaster: https://lemmy.ml/post/6091201

    Was just reminded on here a few days about Jet Set Radio Future.

    The graphics aren’t realistic so it still feels good despite being released 20 years ago. The music and overall gameplay is also fantastic and original.

    It somewhat got a “remaster” as a spiritual successor this past summer as Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. With added “vehicles” and HD which makes it a bit more crisp in detail.

      JSRF should get a modern port. I’m not sure it’d qualify as a remaster (does the PS3/360/PC port of the original JSR count as a remaster?) but it shouldn’t be stuck on failure-prone 20 year old hardware.

      Bomb Rush Cyberfunk… it’s a better game than the original JSR, but not nearly as good as JSRF IMO. Worse song selection and a lot more repetitive.
