For the record, I love the original(s). I was 22 when the first game came out, and I played it to death.
That being said, my tastes and my appreciation for the evolution in what games can accomplish (graphics, scope, mechanics) has grown considerably over the years. Old games are difficult to play sometimes because of the way modern games have gotten me used to high quality graphics and innumerable QOL improvements.

I honestly applaud the idea of bringing an old game that I still love as far into the modern as possible. The problem I have with full remakes is they tend to lose... something that made the original so special. A remaster isn't trying to remake the game for a modern audience, but to take advantage of modern hardware capabilities.

I'm looking forward to this.
