I've bought many remasters, but remakes are something I don't take the risk on. If I really loved a game the first time around, I don't feel like it needs a remake. A remaster is just the same game, but updated to the latest graphics, and I like that for nostalgia.
It's why I'm pretty sceptical about the Final Fantasy VII Remake. I'm up there as being one of the biggest fans of the game, and I'll defend it until the day I die, but it had a particular charm that only 1997 graphics was capable of portraying. It was quirky, and the graphics of the time made it more so. I feel by remaking it and changing everything about it won't make it Final Fantasy VII for me. While CC (and I suppose DoC as I'm a Vincent fan) was amazing, all the spin-offs gained it a fanbase that I really hate. It'll be the same with the remake.
As far as Metal Gear goes... I'd quite like to see them remade. I've not yet played them. I wouldn't mind Metal Gear Solid remade either, just so that it looks pretty alongside MGS2 and MGS3. It was an awesome game. I feel like any Metal Gear Solid game could be remade a hundred times, and only get better.
Parasite Eve probably could do with one. Those cutscenes would look even ****ing weirder in HD.
