I think the person meant that they like 'faithful' remakes: the ones that are pretty much the exact same game, just a few tweaks that make it better, like graphics or minor tweakage. (Like the remake of Kirby Super Star on the DS that's coming out.)
But if they make a 'remake' that, while slightly like the original, are mostly very different (they omit this, change a lot of that...), then they're not liked as much.
And in certain cases, I agree.
