2D games become outdated too. Look at the recent Grim Fandango remaster. The 3D polygon models got an upgrade, the 2D backgrounds are locked in 4:3 letterbox and look very crude although the art style is still fantastic.
All 2D platformers nowadays are woefully incompatible with VR, the same if 2.35:1 tv ever becomes popular. (Sure we'll go to 8k 16:9 first, then we'll get 21:9 tvs)
If art style was all that mattered, Ori and the blind forest wouldn't require a GeForce 240 in the minimum specs. Or the monkey islands games wouldn't have gotten a makeover, nor Oddworld Abe's Oddysee. Actually 3D games fare better compared to that as the God of war, Ratchet and Clank and Ico / SoTC remasters didn't need to have all the artwork redone for their remasters.
3D games have room to grow when technology progresses. 2D games are pretty much set in stone.
This was the Ori and the blind forest of my time
Yes that's actual size.
Or actually I need to go a bit further back
That's the same year as Wolfenstein 3D btw, which did get a very enyoable remaster. Flashback did not.
