Talk:List of video game remakes and remastered ports

Animal Crossing

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Animal Crossing a port of Animal Forest and not a remake? For one thing, the GameCube version is small enough to be played with the disc out after the game is booted up. --Evice (talk) 20:12, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl listed as remade into Platinum

Since we do not list Emerald as a remake of Ruby and Sapphire, or Crystal as a remake of Gold and Silver, I am taking this off the list 24.184.206.83 (talk) 22:59, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Inconsistency on DS remakes

Super Mario 64 DS is listed as a remake, while Yoshi's Island DS is not. Any reason? Funky on Flames (user;talk;edits) 15:29, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

In my opinion, modified ports should be removed from the list because they are not complete remakes. --MK (talk) 01:15, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Yoshi's Island DS is not a remake at all. It's a sequel. Super Mario 64 DS is a remake (it updated the graphics and added several new features not in the original). 71.207.158.68 (talk) 20:57, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

THERE ISn'T A VIDEOGAME

Where are Banjo-Kazooie (X-Box Live Arcade, remake of nintendo 64) and his sequel Banjo-Tooie? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.60.105.109 (talk) 18:39, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Those are ports, not remakes.68.4.214.54 (talk) 23:14, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

There isn't Sid Meier's Colonization and Civilization IV: Colonization — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.115.227.185 (talk) 14:50, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Cave Story

Would the port of Cave Story on WiiWare be considered a re-make? If so, I think that it should be added to the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yoshiller (talk • contribs) 15:47, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Remake, HD Remaster, Port

Everything is completely messed up in this List of video game remakes.
A port is NOT a remake. A "HD Remaster" or a Collection is NOT a remake.
A clean up is needed! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.0.203.181 (talk) 08:28, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

openttd

Do transport tycoon deluxe and openttd belong here?

Differentiation needed between Remakes/Remasters/Enhanced ports

A lot of these games are don't classify as "remakes", since they are really just enhanced versions of their originals with new textures, models and so on but running on the same engine and using the same mechanics. Some of them don't even have any major enhancements except higher rendering resolutions and an unlocked frame rate, so that would make them nothing more than enhanced ports, regardless of what they are being advertised as.

A lot of people are mixing these terms up and use them incorrectly (including game publishers) and I think it's Wikipedia's job to make a clear differentiation here.

When you're talking about actual remakes, it's when an old game gets used as a template to create an entirely new game, based on the concepts and ideas of the original game. Examples would be: Conker, Live and Reloaded, Secret Of Monkey Island SE, Tomb Raider Anniversary, Black Mesa, Oddworld New N Tasty... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.10.112.159 (talk) 20:17, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

I agree with your definition of "remake", but the page includes "updated versions of original games and remastered ports", as explained in the intro. --Tanonero (msg) 10:44, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

date column

why not include release dates in the table ?? 179.7.215.247 (talk) 06:13, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

That would be appropriate, but it's a lot of work. I'll think about doing it after having systematised references and format. You can go ahead if you feel like it. :) --Tanonero (msg) 10:45, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

More games

Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition for Planescape: Torment - not sure if such upgraded editions of games fit in this list though. —  Ark25  (talk) 22:22, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Title change

I think we should rename this page as "List of video game remakes and remastered ports" to reflect the actual content of the article. Thoughts? --Tanonero (msg) 12:37, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

add a year column.

This is torture to navigate without a year column. Who created this table? 2001:8003:D9A7:6D01:972:BBD6:21F0:F6A5 (talk) 10:09, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
