It probably is though. Is any remaster any successful?

Windwaker HD and Link’s Awakening’s 2 remakes were pretty well received

Yes, a few of the Metal Gears. FF7. Legend of Zelda Master Quest for Gamecube. Counter-Strike: Source. Demon's Souls.

  Have to disagree with you on Half Life: Source. It’s way too glitchy to enjoy from start to finish. I’d recommend playing Black Mesa instead.

The Starcraft remaster was largely well-received.

Does Demon's Souls count as a remaster?

From what I gathered so far the engine hasn’t been touched. The actual d2 is running underneath and an overlay is running on top with the new graphics. Can’t find any sources for this but it has been mentioned by MrLlamasc and a couple of others d2 streamers commenting on blizzcon streams.

A spectacular looking 3D overlay that sits on-top of a 2D core.

  Worth noting MrLlamasc hosted the d2 dev "round table" at blizzcon this evening. Not to disagree with you in the slightest, just that it may lend him a little more credence than commenting on streams.

You've got a lot of good replies already, but I think the best example has got to be Black Mesa, the Half Life remake. It even has a better Metacritic user score than the original Half Life. Lots of remakes aren't very impactful, but that doesn't mean they're unsuccessful. All they intend to do is reawaken some love for a franchise, and provide a more accessible option for people who missed the original game. I can only think of one (recent) example where it went really badly.

The recent Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 was pretty good. Blizzard has absorbed the studio that made it too
