10 Video Game Remasters That REMOVED Things Fans Loved

10. Skateboarding Physics - Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD

Now, the thing about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is that the original games are so good, they have actually been remade twice. Unfortunately, it was second time's the charm with this project as the first crack at it, a 2011 remake by developer Robmodo titled Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD, is up there with GTA's definitive editions as one of the worst re-toolings of a classic franchise ever.

Where to even begin with what the team got wrong? Dreadful graphics, slow, dull gameplay, and a litany of glitches dragged this title down and made it a complete laughing stock upon release. The whole game feels like it was made for a fiver, by people who had only played the original once, twenty years ago.

The worst part was that this was an Xbox 360 remake that somehow felt worse to play than the original PS1 release. When you're making a skateboarding game, you kinda need to nail the feel of the skateboarding, and this title, with its needless changes and wonky physics, felt like a cheap imitation - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater At Home.
