I'm a sucker for good graphics just as much as the next guy. I’ll never go back and play the original Shadow of the Colossus. If you want to play the original Resident Evil, the remaster of the remake is the one to play. It was also remastered in 2015 and released on the PC and console market, and went on to become Capcom’s best-selling digital title. Originally for the GameCube, the remake now routinely beats out the original on critics’ lists of the best Resident Evil games. Resident Evil’s 2002 remake is more beloved than the 1996 original. Game archivists at places like The Video Game History Foundation will preserve the original, but who would want to play it aside from academics? Going forward, I worry this remake will become the definitive version for most gamers, most of whom will have no idea how revolutionary or weird the original was in 2005. Nothing looked or felt like Shadow of the Colossus at the time. The remake looks much better than the original, but the remake also looks like any other high quality game out today. The original game was ambitious-a game bigger than the console it debuted on. In a way, this made the original more of an achievement because became a classic despite its flaws. This is primarily due to an uneven frame rate,” Brad Shoemaker wrote in a 2005 Gamespot review, where he gave the game a 8.7. “It's a disappointment that the technical execution is less than perfect. The original game earned a metacritic score of 91 despite two obvious flaws: weird controls and bad frame rates. And why would I do that when I can just download this modern, "better" version of the game on my PS4? I'd have to track down a working PS2, a hard copy of the game, and plug the old console into my TV with composite cables, which some new TVs don't even have. It would be a pain in the ass for me to go back and play the original, untouched Shadow of the Colossus now. After more than 60 years, The Night of the Hunter is still a powerful movie and watching it as easy as pulling up Amazon. No one- except Gus Van Sant-is making shot-for-shot remakes of classic films. They’re often remade, but historians and film buffs go to pains to preserve the originals. Even if it doesn't top this mark, though, it's clear that Resident Evil 4 is poised to be a smash hit once again for Capcom nearly 20 years after first releasing.It’s a kind of “remaster” that is wholly unique to the medium of video games. Considering that more reviews for Resident Evil 4 will surely arrive after launch, there's a chance that the Metacritic score for the game could end up tying or surpassing Ocarina of Time 3D. RE4 has topped other critically-acclaimed remakes though such as Demon's Souls, Shadow of the Colossus, and even Capcom's own Resident Evil 2. When looking solely at Metacritic, the only other video game remake that currently rates higher than Resident Evil 4 is Nintendo's 2011 release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3Dwhich sits a single point higher at 94/100. Not only does this make Resident Evil 4 the best-reviewed game of the year so far (when not accounting for Nintendo's remaster of Metroid Prime) but it also puts RE4 in position to become the top-scoring remake ever. Currently, RE4 holds a staggering 93/100 aggregate score on Metacritic. Within recent days, reviews for Resident Evil 4 began hitting the internet, and by all accounts, the game seems to be phenomenal.
