You don't call publishers taking the cheap way out and porting all their games instead of developing new games a downside? Porting games obviously takes resources and manpower. Some publishers might even think that if they're going to make the same amount of money porting a title instead of creating a new title then why not make the port. If people keep buying into all these ports, more and more developers are going to jump at the idea of rerereleasing a last gen game at full MSRP instead of developing a new game. There's no guarantee this will happen but there's also no guarantee that this gen won't be flooded with last gen ports. So far that's just about all we have to play. |
The simple fact of the matter is that this is not a thing where you have to choose one or the other, ports do require resources but they don't require alot of them so making a couple of them aside of the new games is not significantly going to hurt the development of the new games.
Face it, the last couple days you've been making a big deal out of nothing, especially since you seem to put the blame solely on Sony, which is very weird to me since they have only one studio that has announced that it's working on a port and that while it's also working on a new next gen game plus one studio that is rumoured to be making a port (and that isn't even a strong rumour).
Calm down.
