I don't understand why anyone wants remakes of games that already look great. For games with graphics that didn't age well I completely understand, but for games that still look great the result of a remake is usually just to make it look polished in the most bland and generic manner possible.

Like the SMRPG remake, they took an old game that still looks great and has an incredible vibe and completely ruined the vibe by remaking it with Pixar-style graphics. Damn near every cartoon game these days tries to emulate Pixar, and no hate towards Pixar, but not everything need to look like fucking Pixar. Once the novelty of "OMG I'm playing a Pixar film!" wears off you're left with something bland.

And if you really wanna remake a game like SMRPG, try a style like claymation (obviously not real claymation, but CGI that approximates it). Or maybe like one of those old voxel games, or like Arcane, etc. There are lots of options to choose from that fit SMRPG's vibe way better than Pixar shit.
