I think the current landscape is rife with unnecessary remakes of great games, but I can't deny that that stupid Pachinko machine gave me a taste for Snake Eater with modern graphics and I still haven't been able to shake the desire to see the entire game like that. The selfish monkey part of my brain is very much looking forward to delta.

But honestly, I think people should be trying to remake failed games that had a good premise or world if you're going to remake. But that would mean prioritizing a guaranteed profit over art. Instead they pick their biggest cash cows and try to improve upon the already great.
