Compared to other media like movies and music albums, HD Games are more challenging to remaster due to their dated visuals. It may be due to several factors, including less complicated motor deliveries and much lower objectives at the time of delivery. While a remaster often has an updated atmosphere and design to take advantage of a more robust control system, a revamp typically has an updated atmosphere and design but uses reskinned models.

The ease with which it could manipulate early 3D models and the age of the first gaming motor is more important than a low score. Because of the slow 3D delivery speeds of older computers and gaming consoles, it used simple 3D item math. For example, it used gloves to represent human hands instead of individual fingers, and maps had a visibly thick look with no readily bending surfaces. Older computers had less surface memory for 3D situations; thus, high-definition displays of low-resolution bitmap images seemed pixelated or hazy.
