Remakes can come in all shapes and sizes for video games. They can be remasters like with Mass Effect in 2021 which just polished up the graphics. They can reach as far back as the NES to bring over a game like Famicom Detective Club to the West for the first time via the Switch. That was a 1988 NꦿES game in Japan to be clear before 𒈔it got remade in 2021.

They can even be considered re-imaginings or reboots of a franchise while still keeping the same 𒀰name. Focusing on remakes specifically, what has been some of th♚e biggest so far and how have they changed, if at all, besides some shiny new graphics.

Besides the graphical overall, thi🅰s game implemented a lot of changes that evolved up to this point with the series overtime such as the mor♓e casual nature of the difficulty, by choice that is. The story was given more depth and the added bonus of DLC added more levels.

8 Final Fantasy VII Remake

Yuffie and Sonon from Final Fantasy VII Remake

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy VII releases first in 1997 as a PS1 exclusive. The long awaited remake was a PS4 exclusive but is now available on PS5, too. This was more like a re-imagining as there were many changes made.�꧋�

The combat is now action based. New characters were added and story bits were dramatically changed even though it follows most events semi-faithfully in Midgar. The biggest change of all is that it is barely covers an eighth of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the PS1 game.

7 Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain Of Memories

Castle Oblivion from Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain Of Memories

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was a 2004 launch for the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game Boy Advance. It was li⭕ke a remake itself or more like a "demake" as it followed the same levels from the original game albeit with card based combat now.

The remake turned those pixels into polygons, but followed the same trail to the end. The biggest difference aside from the graphics was the added bits of story and voice work when it came to the PS2 in 2008 for North America.

6 Luigi’s Mansion

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Luigi’s Mansion was a launch game for the GameCube in 2001. It then got remade for the 3DS in 2ꦿ018. The game 💃is almost exactly the same in terms of the level design. The mechanics were tweaked to make it feel more modern on the 3DS though.

The biggest addition was the 3D option which was actu🃏ally planned for the original when Nintendo was considering 3D support for the GameCube as a whole.

5 Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

Snake and Liquid from Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Metal Gear Solid first hit the PS1 in 1998. The remake launched in 2004 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:for the GameCube. Besides the graphics, there were two major changes that made this remake cont🌸roversial. First of all, it added more flashy cut-scenes to make it more of an action epic, some of which were memed heavily even at the time.

The second change is that it implemented the first-person viewpoint when aiming a gun like in Metal Gear Solid 2. The original ꦓgame was not designed to have players be able to see in this viewpoint which made some instances like boss fꦅights very easy by comparison.

4 Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! And Let's Go, Eevee!

A Pokemon battle from Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu

This 2018 remake is based off of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Yellow, on Game Boy, which was a 1999 release in North America. That itself was a remake or more like an enhanced port o🍸f the original games. As this contains Team Rocket’s anime counterparts of Jessie and James, that’s why it is believed to be Pokemon Yellow’s remake.

While the game follows the original’s almost beat by beat, there are two major changes aside from graphics. One, Pokemon don’t have to be battled to be c꧂aught. Two, Pokemon not found in the original’s could be seen in this Switch version.

3 Ratchet And Clank

Exploring the city from Ratchet And Clank 2016

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ratchet and Clank got the PS2 in 2002. It would eventuaꦯlly get a reboot/remake in 2016 for the PS4. It was made in an eܫffort to tie it into the movie.

The game barely resembles the original as it is also like a re-imagining akin to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy VII Remake. The core duo is still there al🎐ong with tons of guns and some familiar planets, but by ജall accounts it also felt like a brand new game.

2 Resident Evil 2

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Resident Evil 2 began 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:on the PS1 in 1998 and would later get a remake in 2019 for most major platforms including the PS4. The best way describe the remake is bigger. The streets of Raccoon City, the p🧸olice station, the sewers, and the Umbrella facility were larger in scope.

Gamepla𝓀y also evolved, taking work from the latest entries in the series and no longer adhered to tank controls. Perhaps the𓂃 biggest change was Mr. X being more present.

Talking to the witch in The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening was a 1993 Game Boy game. It did get a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game Boy Color enhanced version a few years later, but the most major remake wasꦡ the Switch version in 2019. By and large it is the same exact game almost to a fault.

There was a new dungeon maker mechanic♌ but it was not as complex as something like a Super Mario Maker. Besides a few gameplay tweaks here and there, it’s still the same adventure albei🐬t with a much prettier coat of paint.
