For me, it's bit difficult to say - I DO think that it is great when some old game receives a modern port with better performance, some QoLs, maybe a CRT filter, but... At the same time, they are also kind of a "disappointment", most games of the past were available with emulation which at this point is so advanced, and developed that it is almost its own form of art. Shaders, fan translation, undubs, overclock, recompilations, etc.; It's insane what emulation community did so far.
Remakes - generally, I think for a game that is already 10, or more years old, it is really for the best to just be remade from ground up, BUT, at least for me personally, remakes only have effect if I played the original from the past; for most people, if not everyone, the main purpose of remakes is to serve as replacements for original titles which are now outdated, be it visually, or gameplaywise, or both, which is ok, I guess.
Myself, I love remakes because I get to experience already familiar characters, and locations, but with modern visuals. In that sense remakes are for me both their own thing which I rate by their own merits, but also the sort of extension of the original games that brings them in the modern era in a way that IMO, simply can't be achieved by simply only giving them higher resolutions, or framerates.
Everything up to the PS3 / X360 era is, I would say already old enough for remake - some people may not like the changes, like with Shadow of the Colossus, or Demon's Soul, though, but I think that having them is better than not having them.
Not sure what to say about remakes of stuff from the previous generation; I really, really hate word "unnecessary" , because it is not up to me to decide what should, or should not be made, and thanks to stronger hardwared, even for games from previous improvements can be done, but still...
I don't hate them, the more the merrier I guess, although, even a simple remaster would be enough.
As far as remakes go I prefer when liberties are taken, and it isn't just 1:1, but I am fine with those as well.
As for reboots, which can be considered remakes in their own right, I don't mind them at all.
