What games do you think should NEVER be remastered, because they're close to perfect as they are? (lemmy.world)

Any games where a remaster could never stack up to the original.

Inspired by this post, asking the opposite, what games do you think are worthy of a remaster: https://lemmy.ml/post/6091201

What about DOOM 2016? I thought it was great. I'll admit, I didn't play much of original DOOM, but 2016 feels like what I wanted DOOM to be if there was better graphics tech available.

Not for me. Part of the perfection was that you walked through the 8bit world and see something blocky in front of you. Now, is it a monster or an item? Only two ways to find out, and one of them will kill ya.

E: also, I got it loaded on my TI-83+, and played DOOM after maths exams.
