In light of the recent problems people are having with the Warcraft 3 remaster, I decided to make a thread that's about GOOD remasters and/or remakes (the distinction is a remake rebuilds a game on a new engine and features many new or altered elements compared to the original, while a remaster just takes the exact same old game and puts it on a newer platform with only some slight updates, mostly to things like visuals), but also mention the one or two issues that the remake/remaster happen to have.
Crash Bandicoot: The N-Sane Trilogy
When it comes to Crash 1 specifically I'd say the N-Sane Trilogy version is indeed better than the PS1 original, if only because of changes to things like being able to save whenever the player wants, and 100% completion no longer requires doing a no death run on every single level (now that's relegated to only a small handful of levels). For Crash 2 it's basically on par with the original, the original game was already really well made when it came out back in 1997 that not many changes needed to be made, and the game is still as good as the original (granted this does mean the infamous Cold Hard Crash and Piston It Away levels are still as annoying as they were back in the day though).
The main flaw comes when we get to Crash 3, namely with the Coco levels involving her on a jetski. Now the mototrbike levels with Crash don't feel much different from the original so my opinion on those doesn't change with the remake (they're still my least favorite levels in Crash 3), but with Coco I noticed the devs at Vicarious Visions changed the way the jetski handles and what used to be pretty smooth to control now feels kinda clunky. It's like now it's got more realistic weight to it and this makes trying to hit some boxes or ramps a bit harder than it used to be and just overall makes these levels not play as smoothly. I still prefer them over the motorbike levels if only because there's no racing elements to them and I can go backwards to hit boxes I missed, but compared to the PS1 original these levels aren't as fun as they originally were.
