The other side gets wrong that remakes are better just because they are safe. Sure, revisiting a classic can be nice, but new IPs are where fresh ideas actually happen. I am not great at arguing, but my gut says we need new stuff too.
My opponent makes a fair point that a polished remake can be comforting. I am not sure how to argue back really. But my gut says new IPs are where the unexpected stuff comes from, and without them games just repeat themselves. That is all I have.
