5 Cool Video Game Remakes
5 Cool Video Game Remakes that are really remade not just upres textures and minor tweaks (such as remasters).
1. Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil series speak for itself. It’s a classic in the survival horror genre. We’re back in Raccoon City and the task is to escape…and it’s not easy at all. Lots of fear, zombies, action, high blood pressure and so on.All this in 2019’s video game standars made with RE Engine that was originally developed for Resident Evil 7 by Capcom. Beautiful graphics, nice animations and control. RE2 is a fantastic remake but not for the faint of heart.This game is scary…after all it’s a horror game so it has to be scary.

2. DOOM

4. Age of Empires Definitive Edition
If you’re an old time gamer you you must remember the classic Age of Empires games back from the late 1990’s. This game was the king of strategy games and we played countless hours with it. Even online…with the brrr…tik…tik…brrr…tikk… dial-up modems, and as kids we strictly played it at night because internet was far cheaper from midnight to 6 🙂 It was billed per minute. Crazy times with great games and the early days of the internet.
But enough nostalgia here. Microsoft Studios released the AOE Definitive Edition that looks like a video game meeting recent days’ standards.It not only looks beautiful but many elements such as better AI, animations, larger population etc. are remade and/or rethought.It’s basically a neww game fully based on the originals.

5. Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Tomb Raider is another super famous franchise and the Anniversary edition is the 8th in the line. There is no gamer who doesn’t know the adventure of Lara Croft. The first Tomb Raider was released in 1996 and the Anniversary edition came out in 2007. 12 years ago, so the game by now is outdated and looks cheap compared to today’s games but back in 2007 it was just like Resident Evil 2 in 2019. Obviously the current version of Tomb Raider looks far better and plays fa better too but this game is still fun to play and it’s worth to check it out and compare it with the original version.The difference is fantastic…maybe we should get an Anniversary of the Anniversary in these years 🙂
