The gaming industry for the past few years remastered and remake very familiar with the concepts. Rather than new games, we now come across overhauled or remade versions of old games. Of course, this does not mean that new game announcements have been discontinued. However, remastered and remake games, whose numbers have increased significantly, have become extremely popular today. Before we talk about the games in our minds, let us explain what these concepts are so that we do not leave room for confusion in the rest of the article. Firstly remastered and What is a remake? Let’s answer.

What is Remastered and Remake? What’s the difference?
This is probably one of the issues that players are most confused about. Simply put, a remastered is a visually overhauled version of a game. The main focus in such projects is never the gameplay mechanics or the basic dynamics of the game. More work is done on visuals. Some parts of the game, such as textures, particles, lighting, post-processing effects, are redesigned with wider possibilities provided by today’s technology. In other words, we can say that the remastered version of a game is the version of your favorite but aging table that is varnished and becomes brighter than before. In such productions, one should not expect innovations in the field of story or gameplay.
So what is a Remake? The answer to this question is of course a little more complicated. Based on the root word, a remake is a remake of a game. Although the story is not completely changed, it can be enriched by staying true to the original, and new cutscenes and new missions can be added. Of course, there is also the possibility that nothing will be done in terms of the story. The gameplay is either completely redesigned or, as we have seen in the past, the richer game mechanics of the later games of the series are added to the old version. However, cutscenes and animations have been redesigned, with many adding more realism using motion capture technologies. Dialogue sounds, game soundtracks are overhauled and the quality is improved. In addition to the basic mechanics of the game, visual improvements are also made. In other words, we can say that the remake version of a game is always developed in more detail and longer than the remastered version.
To explain to you the difference New versions of the Mafia trilogy coming out in 2020 we can handle. So much so that while Mafia’s first game appeared as a remake project, Mafia II Definitive Edition was released as a remastered version. In the remake version of the first game of the series, the gameplay mechanics of the last game were used and visually rebuilt from top to bottom. However, the cinematics were re-shot and the animations were redesigned. Mafia II Definitive Edition, on the other hand, was released with only visual improvements and remained faithful to the dynamics of the main game. To understand the difference even better, you can also read our reviews of the two games at the links below.
5 games that won’t taste good if there is a remake version
Now that we have understood the difference between the two versions, we can return to our main topic. Today, there are hundreds of games that cannot be beaten if they are remade and the gameplay dynamics are improved and we come across with 2022 technology. However, we will give you 5 game names here, taking into account the sustainability of the series. Of course, these games are completely open to your opinions as they are my point of view and subjective opinion. If you wish, you can specify the games you would like to see remakes in the comments section.
Games:
The Witcher
Release date: 26 October 2007
The first game of the series, The Witcher, which was released in 2007, is among the impossible games to play these days. Maybe it has gameplay mechanics that were good at the time but no one can play right now. Many people have fallen in love with Witcher stories as its universe expands and spills over to the screens. The number of people who have played the last two games of the series and still haven’t played The Witcher is really high. Although it is a nice remake, one of the games that we want to play the story to the fullest, it definitely appears as The Witcher.
Dead Island
Release date: 6 September 2011
Even though Dying Light 2 shines brightly between its parkour features and zombie games today, there was the legend of the Dead Island while he was gone. With one of the best cinematic trailers in video game history, Dead Island may feel a bit raw for those playing today. This is because the first game was released in late 2011. The zombie game, which came out in those years when video games first stepped into cinematic gaming experiences, feels a bit old. Although the remastered version was released in 2016, if it is released with new mechanics today, it can calm people’s search for Dead Island 2 a little bit. Of course, if they make Dead Island 2 and never get involved in the remake project of this game, it is suitable for us too!
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Release date: 29 April 2002
Although Skyrim is popular today, Morrowind, which is considered the best prepared game in the series, is definitely one of the productions that should return. It would be really perfect if Morrowind, the best game of the series in the words of the fans, was prepared and released again with today’s technology. However, Bethesda has no such plans in the short or long term. Because even The Elder Scrolls VI disappeared after an announcement. He won’t appear before Starfield…
Silent Hill
Release date: 31 January 1999
One of the best horror series of all time, Silent Hill is definitely a series that needs to be redone today. It is obvious that no matter which of the first 4 games is remake, it will attract great attention and achieve great success in sales. It is possible to say this with the success of the Resident Evil series. Because both the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series have been accepted by the players as the two best survival horror series for a long time. Even the Silent Hill footage, a small part of which was recently developed by a YouTuber with UE5, was enough to excite the players.
Metal Gear Solid
Release date: 30 July 1998
A series we wouldn’t want to see again without Hideo Kojima’s vision. However, we think that if a game of this series is to come back, it should be Metal Gear Solid released in 1998. If he’s going to throw a remake back into that universe, let Kojima do it, not KONAMI, and let this game be Metal Gear Solid!
That’s all I can think of for now, of course I know you have a lot of game names too. Waiting for your comments!
