* An especially weird case, horror host Joe Bob Briggs presented a marathon on Shudder of [[Halloween]], ''Halloween4''' and "Halloween5'' in 2019, then presented just the original again for its 45th anniversary in 2023. The 2023 presentation used an almost identical script for the host segments as the marathon, which was still available on Shudder.

* According to Creator/TomSka in "[[https://youtu.be/MqQuDLFYpiY?t=1033 Fun Facts & F**k-Ups]]", the sketch "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI2AbCy1NVw The Fallen]]" was a word-for-word remake of a sketch called ''Colonial Morons'', which was a cancelled brand deal with ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl]]'', one of the series' vanishingly few [[BTeamSequel B-Team Sequels]] (handled by ILCA instead of series creators and primary developers Game Freak), is closer to a port of ''Diamond & Pearl'' than an outright VideoGameRemake. Besides expanding and updating the Underground into the Grand Underground, [[spoiler:some ArcWelding for ''VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus'']], and changing Pal Park to Ramanas Park, things are more or less the same as in the original games. No new areas or characters have been added, the original GraphicsInducedSuperDeformed art style is kept, and Flint still uses a Lopunny. It's such a direct remake that none of the QOL changes from ''Platinum'' made it in--not even the back button for Pokétch apps.

* As part of the advertising campaign for the release of the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS [[VideoGameRemake remake]] of ''Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', Nintendo released a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kggOvvbLVO0 trailer at E3 2011]] that was a remake of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JntHVUp7m4E launch ad for the Nintendo 64 version]].

* While both the ''VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy'' and ''VideoGame/SpyroReignitedTrilogy'' were mostly marketed as remasters, the actual creation of each game evokes this. As the original trilogies were from the UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation}} 1 era and therefore their code was unusable for remastering on the [=PS4=], the dev teams simply remade the games from the ground up copying the original level geometry. Vicarious Visions have even coined the term for this difference as a "Remaster+".
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'''s UsefulNotes/GameCube remake, ''The Twin Snakes'', is an interesting example. The level design is almost identical to the original, but the gameplay has been updated to include features from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'' with very few level design changes and only a small ArtificialBrilliance upgrade to compensate for it, leading to a game with far more SchizophrenicDifficulty than the original.

* ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved Anniversary'' and ''VideoGame/Halo2 Anniversary'' are remakes of the first two games in the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' series that update their graphics to the standards of the UsefulNotes/Xbox360 and UsefulNotes/XboxOne, respectively, while keeping the gameplay exactly the same. To demonstrate how faithful the remakes are, and to serve nostalgic or purist fans, they both have a feature to toggle the original and remastered graphics on the fly during gameplay.

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' frequently does this with movies that it adapts. So much so that it was specifically mentioned prior to release that the third game's ''Franchise/ToyStory'' world was ''not'' an adaption like it would have been assumed to be.

* ''{{Series/TheWalkingDead|2010}}'':
** As the show is an adaptation of the comic [[ComicBook/TheWalkingDead of the same name]], many scenes are framed and shot exactly as they appeared on the printed page such as the iconic shot of Rick entering Atlanta, Aaron’s introduction, and the characters learning the victims of the pike massacre. Many monologues and lines are pulled directly from the comic such as Gareth’s monologue (taken from his comic counterpart Chris).

* The American remake of ''Film/FunnyGames'' is almost exactly the same right down to its director Creator/MichaelHaneke, but English-speaking actors (some quite famous, like Creator/NaomiWatts and Creator/TimRoth) are used instead of German and Austrian actors.

* ''Film/Carrie2013'' is identical to [[Film/Carrie1976 the original film]] to the point of including scenes that weren't in the book and mirroring the original film's changes to the book such as Carrie telekinetically impaling her mom rather than stopping her heart, the massacre taking place with Carrie in the middle of the action, and an homage to the infamous final scene of the original. This is all in spite of both director Kimberly Pierce and lead actress Chloe Moretz saying this film would adapt the book, not the original film. [[SacrasmMode Thank you,]] [[ExecutiveMeddling MGM]].

* ''Film/Carrie2013'' is identical to [[Film/Carrie1976 the original film]] to the point of including scenes that weren't in the book and mirroring the original film's changes to the book such as Carrie telekinetically impaling her mom rather than stopping her heart, the massacre taking place with Carrie in the middle of the action, and an homage to the infamous final scene of the original. This is all in spite of both director Kimberly Pierce and lead actress Chloe Moretz saying this film would adapt the book, not the original film.

* In the 1998 version of ''Film/{{The Parent Trap|1998}}'', it's surprising how much of the dialogue was almost exactly the same as [[Film/TheParentTrap1961 the 1961 original]]. It also kept several of the important plot lines from the original (i.e. the camping trip, the grandfather discovering the identity of the two girls, and the recreation of the wedding dinner). Having said that, however the remake did deviate pretty heavily at times. The recreation of the wedding dinner happens much earlier in the remake and ends up failing, unlike the original, leading to a heavily altered third act. Aside from the camping trip, it almost completely deviates from the original.
* Gus Van Sant's 1998 [[Film/Psycho1998 remake]] of ''Film/{{Psycho}}'' is regularly criticized for being ''[[ItsTheSameNowItSucks too much]]'' like the original and, consequently, entirely pointless. Van Sant went so far as to give himself a [[CreatorCameo cameo role]] talking to a Hitchcock lookalike. There was an added scene with Bates masturbating, though.

* The 2013 remake of ''Film/{{Carrie|2013}}'' is identical to the original film to the point of including scenes that weren't in the book and mirroring the original film's changes to the book such as Carrie telekinetically impaling her mom rather than stopping her heart, the massacre taking place with Carrie in the middle of the action, and an homage to the infamous final scene of the original. This is all in spite of both director Kimberly Pierce and lead actress Chloe Moretz saying this film would adapt the book, not the original film.

* The American remake of ''Film/{{REC}}, Film/{{Quarantine}}''. The [[CulturalTranslation greater changes]] to the plot are the result of it being set in Los Angeles rather than Barcelona and [[NotHisSled changing the virus]] from a demonic possession to a HatePlague created by a doomsday cult, but way too many scenes copy the original, especially the final sequence in the blacked-out room that provides TheReveal.

* A lot of the important scenes in ''Series/TheLastOfUs'' are 1:1 recreations of the cutscenes from the original [[Game/TheLastOfUs videogame]].

->''"This 2011 version is so similar--sometimes song for song and line for line--that I was wickedly tempted to reprint my 1984 review, word for word. But That Would be Wrong."''

** ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019''[='s=] "Circle of Life" sequence is a maddeningly direct remake of [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 the original film's]], differing only in the use of photorealistic CG and a new recording of the song. While the rest of the movie isn't quite that slavish, it still follows all the plot beats of the original with little deviation, and uses many of the same lines of dialogue, to the point of keeping the ActorAllusion to ''Film/ReversalOfFortune'' even though it makes no sense in the new context.

* The only changes made to ''Film/ComeOutAndPlay'', a remake of ''Who Can Kill a Child?'', is the removal of a handful of scenes, mostly the war footage.
