I personally don't mind remakes as long as they're well done. The thing is one the greater horror films of all time, it also happens to be a remake. The Departed is a great cops and robbers movie, it's also a remake. Oceans eleven, Casino Royale, magnificent seven are all remakes. But people don't remember the good example of remakes, only the bad ones.
And also in gaming. System Shock remake is great. Residential evil remake, great. Demons souls, great. There's nothing wrong with getting good remakes, there are plenty of games that absolutely could have a remake. Like I would 100% want a New Vegas remake, one that does Vegas (freeside and strip) and Legion justice. After all the remake doesn't need to be 1 to 1 with the original
When it comes to Max Payne I'm not sure how they could make it better than the original, but I'm not going to instantly write it off.
