Bad and Terrible Video Game Remakes have been stinking up the place for a while now. Worse than the original? SURE. From the PS5 to the Switch and whatever, you can play decades of awful remakes ALL in the palm of your hand without any kickback. But why? If anything, it’s probably cause you’re a weirdo like me.

What are some video game remakes you've played that sucked the big one? Lemme know here, cause there's probably more than enough for me to make a second video if there's a want!
ALSO YES, I saw your poll results… I guess I gotta do all three of those, huh?
i like at least 3 of these ports am i the problem?
That one Megaman X port for the iOS feels like an April Fool's joke from Capcom. it's so awful that it's genuinely funny.
Sonic adventure dx.
Great video as always, Austin! Just wanto to share that if you have a itch for cinematic plataformer we had Olija and Lunark released that can fill that hole for you. And for a shooter like goldeneye there's dark data that replicates the split-screen pvp multiplayer and the devs are making a second game more storu focused. And last but not least look for agent 64 that has a demo already out on steam and even has that thing of higher difficulties having more objectives. Thanks for making another great video Austin! Have a nice day!
What happened to Crystal chronicles actually upset me, i liked the original.
Disagree on your take on "cinematic platformers" – they were barely developed back in the day, but the thing is that most of them were very well known (there are some exceptions, like Bermuda Syndrome) but they usually did not sell well enough for the investment (cue to Heart of Darkness), but later since Limbo (or Shadow Complex if you may) there are all over the place, sometimes (mis?)labeled as metroidvanias: Limbo, Inside, Little Nightmares 1 and 2, the Oddworld released in the previous decade… and I would argue that games like Ori fit in here.
Digimon World already got as close to a remake as NB are probably willing to make. Two in fact. Digimon World Redigitize for the PSP in Japan only which has been fully translated into English and made available to play on a PSP emulator. The other which did get a US release Digimon World Next Order on the PS4 and Switch.
My man. Please stop using the word Gooners while referring to Panzer Dragoon. It has another meaning that papa youtube might not like on their platform….
I’m totally disagree with goldeneye, yes it’s never be great as the original but I did enjoy playing it
Thinking about the time when I was ten and staring at a giant glass case of gba games at a disc replay and I spent several minutes deciding if I wanted Sonic Advance or Sonic 1 GBA unaware of it's infamy. I legitimately might not even be a Sonic fan today if I hadn't picked Advance instead. Also please rerelease those games.
I'm at the start, but if there isn't any mention of that weird centipede remake on the 3ds that added a really boring anime story, I'm gonna riot
Oh, they didnt randomly do that for the CTR remake. They waited for those good review scores to all hit first. They planned that crap.
RE2/3 is a prime example of everything wrong with REmakes.
I loved XIII and the remake is the reason why i believe in satan.
Omg I had completely forgotten about the Golden Axe remake but I DEFINITELY played it as a child.
16:04 – I decided to look up Satoshi Urushihara after Austin mentioned him, and the very first line in his bio said, "Satoshi Urushihara, the Master of Breasts…" and now I have a new hero.

25:40 Beenox used the CTR remake as a base to add even more content that wasn't in the original game, going beyond just CTR or even CNK, secondly the publication on CTR Nitro Fueled lacking MTX was a miscommunication saying it would be lacking in the DLC department, thanks GameSpot…..
That Bryan Danielson phone wallpaper popped me 😂
It doesn't really matter if a remake is good or not if the original version is inaccessible. As much as I adore RE2make, it is not the same game as RE2, it is not a replacement. And yet RE2 isn't available on any modern platforms, and because of RE2make exist it will take priority over offering the original despite porting the original likely being a simple option that wouldn't cost Capcom a ton. And the DO want you to think of these remakes as a replacement, because not only do they delist the old games as in the cases of GTA Trilogy and Reforged, but they demonstrate it with the name itself. I've been calling it RE2make this entire time, and yet the RE remake series all just uses the original titles.
OMG i haven't seen anyone talk about the PS1 Frogger like, ever XD I owned that as a kid, and played it SO MUCH.
