| SvennoJ said: Like the jest of the OP, does it bother people that movies are re-released, does that prevent new movies from being made. It's usually not the same people that do the port. Definitely not the design team, artists, motion capture department, sound engineers, etc. It takes very little resources to make a port. It's a good project to get familiar with the hardware, get new people familiar with the engine, and make some extra cash that can be invested in the next project. How can anyone be against that? It's not new game or old game, it's bigger budget new game and better looking old game. |
The analogy with BluRays doesn't hold any weight with me because the markets are too different. The BR players most people buy are far, far from $400. The BR discs most people buy are far, far from $60. And there are far, far more BR releases every week than games. For example, Get Carter came out on BR for the first time ever just this Tuesday. Did I feel cheated because I already own the DVD? No. There are TONS of other releases I can buy. Furthermore, I didn't buy my player from Warner Bros.
Next gen consoles have huge droughts in releases. I don't see any problem with someone being disappointed and complaining that instead of a new next gen title they get a rehash during a dry period in game releases. Like I said I don't think it's a big deal, but it's a valid complaint. And I don't care what went into Halo 2 HD, at the end of the day its a game I already played and I would be bummed if that was all MS had.
