May have just been the forums I was on, but getting told how stupid I was for wasting my $50 on the game, dozens of times, weeks before the game was even released and anyone playing it, just frustrated me. Fanboys are a grotesque breed, and the slightest change to that which they love causes them to puke up heaps of stupidity.
I will never understand why they talk as if FBI agents are bursting into their homes, and modifying their beloved game forcibly. They will always have their version of their game, just the way they remember it. Remakes don't hurt anyone. They only bring in new fans. But to some, that kind of thinking is total blasphemy. You cant have new fans. They would be noobs, after all. They'll only embarrass the precious fanbase. I don't need to explain the irony here.
I want to add that RE1 was remade, and I love both editions. FF7 had a lot of spinoffs, none of which I liked, or interested me enough to play, but they don't make me hate the original. If it was remade, I'd give it a chance, because I'm aware of the inherent flaws in the original. Flaws that I saw in it upon release, right at the highest point of hype.
