Usually remakes stay very faithful to the source material and just modernize the graphics and mechanics. However, a Dino Crisis remake faces an unusual dilemma in that the our understanding of the science behind the game's premise has changed since its release.
Of course, I'm referring to feathered dinosaurs! Now, there's pretty conclusive evidence that big dinos like T-Rex wouldn't have had feathers (or at least very few of them) due to its immense size and its need to cool itself. However, there's now evidence that some of the smaller dinosaurs, like velociraptors, would have had plumage.
Should a hypothetical Dino Crisis remake faithfully stick to its outdated Jurassic Park-esque depiction of dinosaurs? Or, should it try to bring the creature designs in line with our current understanding of how they would've looked? Would doing this be a disservice to the game's intent (ie. dinosaurs potentially becoming less scary to the player if they're feathered)?
What do you all think?
Edit: damn, fat-fingered the post button before finishing the poll lol. Doesn't seem to let me edit the poll, so just imagine that second option says "try to bring the designs in line with modern science"
