Not a fair poll. It depeneds upon the game.

Honestly, I couldn't think of a single game where the remake was better.

Well, if you consider all the NFL Madden 2000, 2001, . . . up to 2013 then, you or anyone can make a point with this thread.

have you seen that game on TV? It's getting too real.

But those are sequels, not remakes (although I think sports games like that which come out every year are really all the same game anyway!)

The original game is pretty much always the best.

Since the Total Recall remake is currently in the news, the poll was actually written with Movies in mind.
Jay-polls : Never what DNA thinks they are!

I've played precisely 2 Maddens: 1994 and 2006. 1994 was a game. 2006 was a TV show. The AI plays the whole damned thing for you. I'm not even sure it cares what buttons you press.

OH. I misread your poll then.

Movies are a different subject matter. I've worked meagerly in film for 15 years and have overheard during lunch and such that remakes get made to either: 1) restart the film to make a franchise or, 2) some film execs run out of ideas and think that an older film would work well if remade again with other talent and, 3) the execs do not like original film, hated the people or persons used in it and a current remake is sought to erase the memory of that film with new talent thereby making a good film.

The last one I thought was ridiculous but I over heard more than once from people who were born and raised here and live a life revolving around the film business.

I can! Project Dollhouse is already better than TSO, before being done, because it supports 1024x768 without a border. TSO never did
