I've been playing the original today by coincidence. Such a great game. Why it needs updating though, I have no idea.
You can still buy the original and play it on the 360. It's not like Shadow of the Colossus or something which would massively benefit from an HD facelift. Just seems like another excuse to trophy whore and boost a flagging multiplayer community.
We see older games get remakes all the time. Pokemon Red and Blue, Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. Final Fantasy 2 (SNES) into Final Fantasy 4 (PS1) into GBA then into Complete Collection for PSP. Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was remade on the 3DS. Some of the Resident Evil series was remade onto Nintendo GameCube. Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 both were remade for the Nintendo Gamecube. Ninja Gaiden recieved the Ninja Gaiden Black remake. GoldenEye 007 recieved a remake for the Wii (that game was THE best shooter out on N64 hands down).
This happens often to fairly good or great games. This isnt anything new. Just another great game recieving a remake, and this is one that deserves it.
