Let's assume for a moment that Iizuka saying he'd like to remake SA1 means literally anything. Let's assume that Sonic Team today could recreate SA1's engine without making slippery to play and ruining its control system in the vein of how the Boost games play. Let's even assume that they don't screw anything up at all. What do we actually get from a Sonic Adventure remake? The same game with better graphics? At best, the same game with better graphics - because they'd probably swap the Adventure character designs for the inferior current ones. Really, what do we get outside of the momentary thrill of seeing a childhood favorite rendered with modern graphics? And that's the best case scenario.
I understand it would make the game more accessible to younger players to whom Dreamcast graphics look like Pong, and that's a wonderful thing, but me? Someone who grew up on the game? I can revisit it any time I want, and with mods I can maximize the experience beyond what the default port provides. Give me a Mania-job on the Adventure era and then I'll be excited.
