How do you feel about the expression "updated for modern audiences" in remasters and remakes? (lemmy.wtf)

I was excited to play the remake of my all time favourite game Mafia 1, but it only lasted for about 20 minutes. They put utterly pointless additions in and the AI was somehow way dumber despite being 20 years newer.

Wtf is a ram keybind for car driving?

I think I read about that remake. Did they also change the soundtrack or am I tripping? I loved Mafia 1 back in the day, and the Django Reinhardt songs in the original were iconic.

I didn't get far enough to consider that, but considering licensing issues in remasters of other games, it wouldn't be surprising at all.

This is exactly the game that came to my mind when reading title. I loved old Mafia, but the remake? It's not a bad game, but it lost like 90% of atmosphere original had. Like those cop chases that are utter joke that doesn't belong to the game.
