Most of these “remastered” versions don’t look any different from the original releases.

That's what you think until you play the original. Most of these remastered versions probably look like people fondly (and wrongly) remember them.

That's pretty much expected for most remasters. They upscale some textures, add more resolution options, and add support for modern systems. It's like a remastered CD or movie, with the main goal (besides trying to get you to buy it again) being to release a less compressed version of the original.

Yeah people need to educate themselves on the difference between a remaster and remake.

A remaster from the music term isn't necessarily even just quality changes, but can sound or 'feel' different. But it's still based on the original 'master' recordings.
