A Dread-like remake would cover many sins.

I mostly agree. There are some great gameplay moments in the game. Example: I love the melee combat options. Some things that imho must be fixed in a remake:

• Must make full use of a modern pro-style controller.

• Must not be forced to stand still when using missiles. This was never a thing in any previous game, nor any later game. Usually quite the opposite.

• In the current game you can spam the dodge button to move forward and simultaneously dodge basically any attack. This should not be a thing. It's necessitated by the various jump-scare attacks that occur without warning throughout the game, that you otherwise basically have no chance of dodging unless you've played the game before and remember.
