This is something that puzzles me. Gamers on this site, who don't own a PS4 yet and never intend to buy one, apparently have the most problem with God Of War III: Remastered. But why is it so? The remaster is perfectly fine for many reasons.
Firstly, it celebrates the 10th anniversary of the series. I mean, that calls for some sort of release right? As they didn't have a new God Of War game, they ported the best one in the series.
Secondly, God Of War III is an older game than most other remasters. Its 5 years old. Lets compare that to other remasters.
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition - 1 year old
Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition - 2 years old
Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition - 2 years old
Saints Row IV: Re-elected - 2 years old
GTA V - 1 year old
Dark Souls II - 1 year old
God Of War III is a much older game than these remasters, which didn't get any backlash for being new.
Thirdly, many people are complaining a lack of exclusives on P4 and saying that God Of War III: Remastered is coming to fill up the gap. But till March atleast, PS4 has the most exclusives in 2015 of any console. The rest of the year doesn't look blank either, with Everyone's Gone to the Rapture, Until Dawn and No Man's Sky coming. There's also a possibility of Rime releasing this year. That could be that PS4 has the most exclusive games in 2015 of any console.

Because it's ANOTHER remaster. If they really wanted to celebrate the tenth anniversary they could have released the trilogy remastered. All of these games are fully available on the PS3, which if the PS4 had backwards compatibility this wouldn't even be a conversation that would happen.
All the remasters have had backlash, this isn't the first, nor will it be the last.
You know why I won't buy a PS4 at this point? Because most the good games can be played on a PS3 for a fraction of the cost. I care about how good a game is, not what it looks like as long as it's still appealing. A remaster doesn't make the game any better, unless they actually fundamentally change something. Add in something that makes it more streamlined, or remove something to do the same. Add in parts of the story that weren't clear. Figure out a better button scheme. Anything like that. For the most part, all a remaster does is make it look better, perhaps run a bit smoother.
