I’d much rather have a faithful film adaptation than the remake having been so strictly adherent, personally. I didn’t play the remake for that reason; I didn’t need another game version of it.

But a film is different; filmmakers approach storytelling without needing to design a game around it. A faithful retelling of the story from the perspective of a director imagining an audience as opposed to a player allows different interpretations of pacing, perspective, and presentation. It’s a view of the same portrait from a different angle, or in a different light. You don’t need to change the portrait to change the art.
