Remakes are an area in which I tend to agree with your very own Mr. Yahtzee.
It's bloody stupid, it's a way for terminally uncreative people to make something from a mold, without having to resort to making a Call of Duty game.
Remakes could be excused if it's the first project of an amateur game developer to better his skills. When created by professional game developers, there is no excuse.
At best, the game will be something we've all seen before, albeit with better graphics or twice as much force feedback or something.
At worst, it'll end up as a desecratory pile of hi-res textures.
