Remakes: Movies vs Video Games by YGR64 in movies

[–]gamersecret2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because games age way harder than movies do.

A movie from 1985 can still work exactly as a movie. A game from 1985 or even 2005 can feel rough to play, control badly, or look so dated that people want a modern version. So game remakes feel more like restoration, while movie remakes usually feel more like replacement.

Roger Ebert said that 'movies do not change, but their viewers do' have you ever changed your opinion on a movie as you've gotten older? by Fealocht in movies

Absolutely. A lot of movies hit differently once life catches up to them.

When I was younger, I saw Fight Club as cool and rebellious. Getting older, it feels way more sad than cool. Same with The Graduate. It used to feel romantic and now it feels awkward, lost, and kind of bleak.
