Neither is great, and both are pretty frequent actions in today’s market. I feel like it’s too dangerous of an idea to keep playing, because we either need to admit the oldies haven’t aged well (thus the need for HD remakes) or that the old ones are good enough, but we want to sell the new ones to people that impulse shop based on fond memories.
More and more, companies are picking up old IPs and trying to breathe life back into things from the past. The same, sadly, holds true for video games, but it’s even worse than just revisiting old ideas. The Pirates of Dark Water was a pretty dope epic when I was young, but it doesn’t hold up, as it’s full of plot holes, needless comical banter and some pretty extreme forms of Deus Ex Magic Pirate Amulet.
Nostalgia is a feeling that can be preserved and allowed to run its course without needing to use the Internet to reaffirm these feelings. Don’t bother going back to watch most of the cartoons you enjoyed as a kid.
