Successful and Failed Remakes

[Randy]

I think Ocarina of Time 3D is probably the best remake ever made.....or remade?

They followed the perfect formula that all remakes should:

1) Improve the visuals as much as technically possible.
2) Fix a few flaws and add some features if possible.
3) Alter nothing about the core game that made it the thing people want remade in the first place.

The RE1 remake is pretty great too.

Resident Evil Remake is the first one to come to mind at this question. Maybe even one of the few remakes out there to be better than the original game. Recaptures what makes the first one so great, while drastically improving everything else, and adding new content that doesn't feel out of place. HD furthers this regard by making it more accessible to people, and giving you the option to play without the tank controls. It's nearly impossible to go back to the 96 game after playing it.
