>the OG exists and its plot is so well-known that, by copying it for the remake, it would likely become a cliche of itself.
I really don't know where this meme came from. There is really no problem whatsoever telling the same story again, especially when you've already changed so much with the gameplay and production(aesthetics, etc.). There have been thousands of reproductions of Hamlet. There are many different interpretations possible even without editing the script at all. This is true of most stage plays and operas. The fact that people already know the story is not a sufficient reason to make substantial changes to it. That should have almost no bearing whatsoever.
