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

    I wish there were more remasters like Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Accept that you can't recreate lightning in a bottle and just "remake" the game without it trying to be a 1:1 remake. Embrace diversified storytelling and retell it in a fun way. Change it up while respecting the source. But that of course requires artistry and effort, entirely outside the point of these money-grabbing HD remasters.

      I don't think Twin Snakes respected the source at all, but if you pretend it's actually titled "Michael Bay Presents: The Twin Snakes" then you can have fun with that idea.

      Interesting choice since I understand the MGS fanbase kinda detests the changes the Twin Snakes made, and from what I've seen I'm not too hot on it either. Then there's the 1:1 remakes with a modern artstyle like the Crash Bandicoot remakes or the Halo 1 and 2 Anniversary approach of overlaying a toggleable new graphics engine over an old game.

        I've always appreciated it because it's not exactly trying to be a perfect remake. It's honest about its intentions, and doesn't like ruin the original or disrespect it.
