I think the most important part to keep is the game play. We can make it look modern in presentation, detail wise and we are doing so already. It's unavoidable due to how we are working, and I think when making the scenes in HD, things can look too clean or plain.
By detail I mean small carvings, grass coming up through a crack on the floor, blood stains on the floor. As for special effects, that too is going to look more detailed. I don't know if more realistic, but if that's the case, mist when frozen, Cinder when burning would make sense.
Stuff like hanging from spikes on the pit, no because that's not part of the game play in MK1.
