Shadow of the Colossus (2012) and Ico (from Shadow of the Colossus & Ico Collection) should probably be on here too

hard to come up with examples that don't involve just reciting the wikipedia page for hd remasters but ng sigma probably qualifies? maybe operation winback too or even bangai-o if you wanna stretch.

Thought over this a bit more over lunch and found more examples (not sure if they all necessarily apply but I'll give it a shot):

Silent Hill HD Collection -> Silent Hill 2 & 3
Resident Evil 4 HD
Minecraft (2017)
Almost every game from the "[New Play Control!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Play_Control!)" line (Mario Power Tennis, Chibi Robo, Pikmin 2, etc)
Gravity Rush Remastered
Yakuza 5 Remastered
Metro 2033 Redux
[Metro Last Light Redux]( Metro: Last Light Redux )
LA: Noire (2017)
Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection -> remaster of Uncharted 1, 2, and 3
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection -> remaster of Uncharted 4 & Legacy of Thieves

Resident Evil (2014) -> labeled as a remaster of a remake
God of War HD
God of War II HD
God of War III Remastered
Ratchet & Clank Collection -> includes original Ratchet & Clank, Going Commando, and Up Your Arsenal
Jak & Daxter Collection
Sly Collection -> has Sly Cooper Thievus Raccoonus, Sly 2, and Sly 3
Journey: Collector's Edition -> rereleases Flower and flOw
Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World

Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition
Metal Gear Solid HD Edition: 2 & 3
Valkyria Chronicles Remastered
Dear Esther: Landmark Edition

WarioWare Mega Party Games also came to mind, though it's a multiplayer remake that technically occurred within the same generation, so take that for what you will. I also don't know how Twilight Princess would apply to this, as it was almost immediately ported to the Wii and then got an HD remaster for the Wii U.

I got a little tired of looking through the Remaster & Expanded Game categories on Backloggd but there are definitely a ton more there that would fit this list.

I feel there's a bunch going from PS1/N64 to Dreamcast/PS2, I know Rayman 2 got a bunch of different versions.

Most random suggestion: RC Revenge (PS1) -> RC Revenge Pro (PS2)

Final Fantasy Origins

I guess nobody cares to discuss the actual nature of remastering/remaking but at the end of the day it seems to be how many excuses you can make to understand how good or bad a re-something is. Like, Final Fantasy Origins actually makes changes to the games, some changes that are actually really welcome in sacrifice of certain aesthetics, spells, rebalancing, difficulties, which translates to a pacing change, you name it. Could I do the same with something like TLOU Part 1 apart from le graphics and the possibility of some stuff changed?

Also Ridge Racer > Ridge Racer Revolution

Wii RE4?

i kinda don't think the super famicom dq3 belongs here, because it's considerably improved in so many ways and it's so fantastic that i consider it one of the best dragon quests and certainly (imo) the definitive way to play that game, pegasus's until the "hd-2d" version is out

lmao pegasus's? thanks, phone

persona 1 and 2

kyuuyaku megami tensei should be considered a proper remake, too, while the vast majority of these are direct ports with light "remastering"

this is a list of games that were remade or remastered in the generation following their original release

i guess i was getting stuck on the "absolutely shameful" bit, because i do think there are at least of handful of remakes and odd ports which justify their existence. i just think the list seems a little mixed up in its intent. sorry!

figured psp was same generation as ps2

Kirby's epic yarn 3ds

@zenoslime maybe I'm misinterpreting as well but I'm pretty sure that line is meant to be facetious, aka it's a joke that the practice of remakes has always existed for better or for worse

*remakes/remasters not long after original release, to be specific

you're probably right and i just didn't get it

Metal Max Returns definitely counts, being a SNES remake of a NES game. Would Wario Land 2 count, though?

two more old ones that just occurred to me: fire emblem mystery of the emblem on snes (the first half of which remakes shadow dragon & the blade of light from nes) and snatcher on sega cd and onward (which remakes the pc-88/msx2 versions as far as I'm aware)

I know the line was a joke but I always want to vent about something because its frustrating to me how much I really want to not be pissed about remasters/remakes and how hard is to pinpoint if theyre exactly good or bad

Prince of Persia Trilogy PS2 to PS3, not sure if you would count these.

@zenoslime a joke isnt particularly funny when it has to be explained so my B on this, but yeah @pangburn is right and i made this list to poke fun at the "sky is falling" conversations about recent remakes

nah i could've figured that out, it's 100% on me haha
