Ah, the already classic "Homer Simpson Makeup Gun"-approach to game remasters. Thanks, I hate it.

Those """remasters""" trigger something deep in the pattern recognition parts of my brain; seeing those Frankenstein monsters made up of incongruous art styles and tech levels in movement gives me a headache, even in cases when I'm not familiar with the original.

Has there been a single good remake at this point for the last 10 years?
Everything seems to be absolute shit nowadays.

There's been a lot of good remakes but obviously it depends on your personal opinion.
Bloober team is a pretty good studio that puts some effort into their remakes, like System Shock and Silent Hill 2. There's also the Spyro Reignited, Crash Bandicoot Remake, Tony Hawk remake.

There's a ton of good remakes out there that actually put some effort into the game while still capitalizing on our nostalgia but in a way that everyone is sorta happy with the outcome. In a lot of these cases, these become the definitive way to play these older games (depending on how much of a purist you are).

The thing is that those remakes is that they are essentially built from the ground up as a new game, but copying the older one and adding some quality of life changes.
The Deus Ex remake is just a fucking upscaled texture pack. It looks so ass. I'm pretty sure you can mod the original game to look better than this.

Deus Ex deserves better. It's not even going to sell because both zoomers and boomers will hate it. Just let it be dead.

Edit: I mixed up Bloober Team Nightdive. Nightdive did the System Shock remake.

I just don't remember buying any remake and saying "Wow, man" it's not like things are better on original IPs either, bought a 13900ks and 4090 2 years ago and there's already no fucking games left to play

Remakes and remasters are two different things. This... whatever they're doing to DX is neither. It doesn't look better, it doesn't play different, it's in the same ballpark as GTA 3 "definitive" edition.
Remasters are easier to pull off, since all you have to do is update the graphics while keeping everything else basically unchanged, like the Oblivion or Diablo 2 remaster.
Remakes are significantly more challenging, since they also alter the gameplay. I can really think of two good, successful remakes - Black Mesa and Yakuza Kiwami.

I'm not disagreeing but I feel that this is more of a case of you being jaded with gaming than anything else.

In a world of infinite games there is certainly a lot of garbage, but there are some gems out there, mostly in the indie market (in my opinion).
They usually don't need a 4090 though, but if you bought one and don't enjoy AAA games then that's on you.

I forgot to mention this, you'll have to code the missing moon mission and bob page defection arc back in and write it yourself, but here's the female JC mod (voiced by a "woman" I'd wager)

Nigger Bhramin Hindu JC was a skin setting in the original game so it wasn't hard for paul probably.

Tony Hawk remake.

I strongly urge anyone who doesn't immediately throw up a little in their mouth, when they hear "Remaster"
to see the absolute retards working on games people loved, and taking a big fat shit on it.
the tony hawk remakes are the poster child of "how do you do fellow gamers?"


Whenever you see the word "remake" or "remaster"
just replace that word with "Minimum viable product"
then suddenly all these design decisions start to make sense.

If we're mentioning good remakes I really enjoy Ys: The Oath in Felghana.
Took a very subpar Zelda 2 clone and turned it into debtably the best game in the series.
