There's quite a bit of room in what remakes tend to do for the original games they're made for, whether it be mechanical changes, visual overhauls, etc. Some of these changes allow the original game's vision to be realized better, while others improve on the flaws of the original experience.
What are your thoughts on how far remakes should go in changing a game's original experience? Do you prefer more faithful remakes? Or would you rather the remake be closer to a new experience entirely?
Personally, I lean towards preferring more faithful remakes. Change too much and the original game's identity is lost or muddled. At that point it's not really a remake so much as a new game entirely, I'd say.
