Warum Remakes so gut funktionieren

Remakes are selling better than ever – but why? The answer isn't where most people expect it. It's about risk, money, an industry that can barely afford to survive. And a number that turns everything you thought you knew about nostalgia and remasters on its head. The gaming industry is in a dilemma. And remakes are simultaneously the symptom, the solution, and sometimes the problem. At Hit or Shit, we bring you weekly video essays about gaming. Current games, industry trends, big flops, controversies, hype that turns out to be a lie – we take a closer look. AAA, indie, esports, creator culture – everything is fair game as long as it's worth thinking about. And if you have a topic you're interested in, let us know in the comments. We read everything and regularly address your ideas. ________________________ Discord:   / discord   Twitch:   / stephantschany   Patreon:   / hitodershit   Our Gamer Law Book: https://amzn.to/43ntP1A ________________________ Powered by: https://decamp.at/ ________________________ Our Subreddit:   / hitodershit   ________________________ 00:00 Oblivion Remastered: Why it has significantly surpassed the original 00:21 Why remakes and remasters are becoming increasingly successful 00:37 The evolution of remakes in gaming history 01:24 Why the PS4 generation triggered the remaster boom 01:58 85% of players didn't even know the original 02:41 Are remasters really just a nostalgia rip-off? ... 03:05 Why new AAA games are so expensive and risky 04:05 Why remakes are the safe choice for publishers 04:25 The best remakes of recent years 04:42 What distinguishes a good remake from a bad one 05:08 Resident Evil 4 Remake: Why it works so well 05:38 Crash Bandicoot, Ocarina of Time, and successful modernization 06:21 Why bad remasters so often fail 06:46 The problem with too much realism in remasters 07:04 Silent Hill 2 & Arkham Asylum: When atmosphere is lost 08:14 Warcraft 3 Reforged: How to completely ruin a remaster 08:37 Survey shows: What players expect from remasters 09:22 Modern controls, graphics, and UI are crucial 09:43 Why old brands are more valuable to publishers than new ideas 10:09 What the gaming industry loses by focusing on remakes 10:40 Why there used to be more creative and smaller games 11:15 Nostalgia and the appeal of experiencing a game for the first time 12:15 Why remasters make economic and creative sense 12:37 When remasters fail and why 12:54 The formula for a successful remake or remaster 13:13 Conclusion: Why remasters work so well today 13:31 Community question: Best and worst remake? 13:46 Outro
