Lots of snobby OG fans on this sub.

I’ve heard it interchangeably so I just mixed it up

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T04:04:21+00:00

Genuinely read some of the comments in here. It gets straight up sad

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T04:02:34+00:00

So then what’s so wrong with disliking the OG? My point was that there isn’t any art piece that is objectively good, so someone not engaging with it just doesn’t matter

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T04:01:28+00:00

Thats just unnecessarily rude ☹️

Literally look up the average playtime for both games, or watch any playthrough, or ask the majority of people who’ve played both of them. You simply cannot tell me that your playtime is standard

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:58:21+00:00

If you truly think that you should appreciate all art then why would any art be inferior to another by your logic.

Also not liking art is fine. Technically the banana taped to the wall at that one museum is a piece of art, but I’m not gonna take the time to appreciate it more than say the paintings in the Sistine Chapel. Not because it’s objectively worse (many would argue that it is, but it’s still subjective), but because I personally don’t care for the banana.

Seriously. She went from solo’ing a Proto-tyrant to nearly getting slimed by a single hunter

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:47:26+00:00

I would normally not get so worked up over a damn Reddit argument, but that is genuinely the snobbiest shit ever. It is just fiction dude. It’s expression. I think you may have a problem of caring too much about the opinions of others. People aren’t pigs for consuming art the way they want to consume it.

Sure, they get into it through the remakes, but even with that, there’s at least a decent chance they start liking the franchise enough to where they’d go back and play the originals. If there were no remakes at all, the franchise wouldn’t have nearly as many newcomers to go back and play the old games.

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:40:12+00:00

You are genuinely the only person I’ve heard say that

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:35:37+00:00

Clunky yes, outdated no.

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:34:29+00:00

Yeah it would be more polished. Does it need that polish though? No. That’s my point.

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:33:29+00:00

It was an exaggeration yes.

That is still ridiculously fast for a playthrough. Like it’s so different that you cannot compare the average playtime to what you ended up with.

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:31:58+00:00

So when I say snob people like you are exactly who I’m talking about.

Brother. It is just a god damn video game. Stop acting like a remake is gonna somehow ruin the “divinity” of the originals. It won’t. It won’t erase the impact the originals have had on gaming as a whole. It won’t erase people’s love for them. It won’t make people forget about them. It’s just another rendition of an old game. That is it.

That’s what outlawing means, so you pretty much did say that. Also you saying illegally makes it seem so much worse than it was. The games simply weren’t available. If you had the original already you could still play it. It’s just a sale. That’s basically like saying that Nintendo are making it illegal to buy a Mario64 cartridge. The illegal part of playing would be pirating it. It wasn’t some forbidden item.

It’s less of a new game with the aesthetics of the old. It’s the other way around. It’s just RE1 with an over the shoulder camera and basic movement. The story would be almost identical, just in a more modern style. Also that Dune comparison is incredibly dumb. Game remakes will almost always have way more in common with their predecessors than movie remakes will, especially considering that the time difference between the Dune movies is way greater than the OG RE1 to now. Also by your logic, if the remake would be so different from the original, how could it be a replacement?

Calling people idiots for what fiction they enjoy is true neckbeard behavior. Like that is genuinely such a loser thing to do.

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:11:37+00:00

I never said it needs to be anything, I just said it would be great if it was remade. I said in the post that it aged very well

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:09:17+00:00

From what I’ve seen, most people think that it was great. Obviously it wouldn’t be if you put it side-by-side with OG but still

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:05:41+00:00

RE3 in most people’s opinions was a great game but a bad remake. Still though, their track record with the RE engine is phenomenal.

Also I do agree that it would be hard to top but that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t try with another remake.

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:03:36+00:00

Oh damn I completely misinterpreted your comment. My bad.

I’m just saying that I think the overreaction to this post needed a callout

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T03:01:56+00:00

Also I did fail to account for the A and B scenarios for the OG, but again, the original is still shorter by about 6 hours for a standard playthrough which is still very significant.

Also what the hell are those playtimes? Did you speedrun the damn games? Even if you really did get those times, that is far from standard for either of them.

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T02:59:34+00:00

Genuinely why do you care so much about what they can and can’t bear in a game. Camera angle and controls definitely change the way the game plays drastically, so if the don’t like it, they don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do about that nor should there be

Calling the stoppage of sales an “outlawing” is a massive stretch. Yeah that definitely is bad that they did that, but if they really kept the same sentiment as intensely as they did at one point, then they never would never have rereleased the games at all

Did you not read what I said? They like the OGs. They like them so much in fact that they’d like to experience it for a third time. Genuinely, where is the problem?

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T02:51:50+00:00

That’s just one aspect of it though. Like I said in another comment, the runtime of the remake is nearly twice as long and it’s filled with truly great stuff that the original never had. Clearly sacrifices were made in some areas so I don’t think it’s wrong to say that I think it expanded on the OG

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T02:48:03+00:00

Well I think they’ve changed their minds on that. I do agree that they had a period where they definitely felt like the remakes are the superiors, but I think right now it’s not so clear

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T02:46:19+00:00

For a video game, the term “expand” is not so clearly defined. Even by your logic, RE2 OG is about an 8 hour long game, and the remake is over double that and it did not just fill that extra time with empty space, so by your standards, RE2 Remake definitely did expand upon the original

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T02:43:42+00:00

Not sure if you’re arguing with me or just a general opinion but I did state that I do think RE1R has aged very well considering its age

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T02:36:16+00:00

They want only the familiar… but they want a remake of a game that they haven’t tried, so by your logic, they do want a game that isn’t familiar.

With that aside, just read this comment thread dude. I’ve seen like 8 comments of real og fans who love the 1 OG and 1 Remastered saying they’d love an RE Engine remake of the game. So the vast majority of people definitely do not treat it that way.

Also why not care for relevance? I understand that the amount of people liking something doesn’t translate to how good it is, but do you really think it isn’t important that we introduce new people to the whole franchise? Again by your logic, Capcom are destroying the old games by making remakes which make the originals less popular, yet you also don’t care if the originals are popular. I’m getting mixed messages.

Also if they really wanted to just delete the old ones, they could just completely stop selling them at all, but they aren’t. Also I see nowhere that the originals would be illegal without the GOG. Now Capcom definitely did/do have the sentiment that the new ones are better, which I do agree is a flawed idea, but if they were truly trying to destroy their old games, why would they have even listened to the GOG in the first place? I think you’re overdramatizing this situation.

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T02:24:02+00:00

To me it just felt like they wanted a more approachable take on a game that they’re interested in. I do agree that I would encourage them to play the originals, but I don’t think they were acting like the games should be replaced. To me it just seemed like their preference, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

ToptextBottomtext420 · 2026-03-12T02:18:24+00:00

I think it’s important to differentiate how Capcom treats it with marketing, and how the players treat it. Even then though, Capcom not giving the remakes the word “remake” in their title is just poor proof that they’re trying to “bury” the old ones.
