I went from hoping there would be to hoping there isn't. They will butcher the plot, change things that do not need changing, they will probably pander to graffix junkies like all the recent titles have, and imho destroy what is a perfect game (minus a few issues like the translation, that I am fixing anyway)

If they improved upon the set formula, sure. But that isn't what they will do. I don't want a remake to play it and think "they have ruined it all"

The way things are going at present, I wouldn't let Kitase and Nomura and SE run a bath. Genesis? Hojo brain in a computer? Get real.
