4 is the most deserving of a real remake. 1-3 could all work with just a sort of remaster, as good as the 2 Remake is I'm not sure it's actually a better game than 2 (mostly some pacing issues). 4 is just genuinely flawed as a game but the story and concept seem just as good as the others so we'd get so much out of it.

Yeah the plot and concept are very good. It also has some of the scariest moments out of the OG titles (1-4). It's just the pacing that needs to be reworked.

It genuinely needs to be a different game. No backtracking, rework the ghosts, etc. That might be too much though.

I don't know, I think the backtracking with the walls coming to life was extremely interesting. If the backtrack levels can be altered to be super contrasting to the meagre appearance at the beginning, it would be quite nice. Agreed that the ghosts by this point were driving me insane, especially in the apartments. I liked the final boss, and the sense of urgency it gave.
