This seems to be a semi-common occurrence with HD facelifts. The characters get more detailed but lose the ability to emote.

This is the new Fatal Frame remaster. Wii above, PS/Xbox/Switch/PC below

    yeah, i remember a friend who does mods for dead or alive saying that importing faces is a huge nightmare. I'd guess the old face models don't have nearly enough bones for whatever engine "improvements" have been made and doing something about that is too much dev time for a remaster cashgrab.
