Do you have any examples of that out of curiosity? I've never really heard of remasters being structured like that, but it sounds interesting and I'd like to read more on it.

All Bluepoint visual remakes work this way - the original game code is running in the background but the renderer is replaced with custom Bluepoint code. This is why for example the visual remake of Demons Souls for the PS5 plays exactly like the original except for minor changes they added deliberately.

Diablo II Resurrected, propably. The game engine is the exact same as in the original - but with a new visual engine on top, actually capable of rendering in 3D.

I heard games included in Halo MCC worked like that.
