Do you love or hate remasters?

So just don't buy it. Problem solved.

I just don't understand why people get bothered by companies trying to make money, which is why they exist in the first place. Plus a complete revamping like this can bring in new fans who missed out on it the first time.

I would be perfectly fine with Nintendo redoing Skyward Sword (With Zelda U graphics!) and cutting out those horrendous motion controls. That way i could enjoy it. It annoys the heck out of me that as a lifelong Zelda fan I can't properly enjoy a Zelda title because I absolutely HATE the control scheme. If there is a game that already needs a remaster, it's Skyward Sword.

Remakes don't need to have an age limit. Nor do remasters. They only need a market willing to buy them.

Don't worry, I won't. But about bringing in new fans, I really think that doesn't happen considering the original release was only a year ago. Maybe you could say there's people that didn't own a PS360 and can play it this gen, but then again the new consoles should just stop the stupid cash-ins and have backwards compatibility.

About Skyward Sword, I don't want a remake for it until next gen at least, and if it ever happens I wish they never drop the motion controls. I guess I'd be okay with an optional control scheme without them, but definitely wouldn't like them to be dropped. I actually tried playing Skyward Sword on an emulator somewhat recently (with a 360 controller) and I got extremely bored of it because it just really isn't the same without the motionplus. The immersion was completely gone.

Different strokes then I guess.

I would welcome optional controls though, although that should have been there from the start. I would hate to wait another 5+ years to be able to enjoy the only console Zelda I have yet to finish. It makes me a sad Zelda fan that I can't force myself through it. Where you find immersion I found it totally unimmersive due to the controls. They are not true 1:1 and make for a frustrating experience. Even my mother, who is a diehard Zelda fan (maybe even more so than me* since she also plays every single handheld game as well) couldn't play it. She stopped early on when you learn to fly. She hated the controls. She actually called me and asked if the controls were able to be changed.

If me and my mother have issues with the controls, then to me it's an obvious issue.

I was able to deal with the gesture based style in Twlight Princess though. They should have stuck with that at least or offered it.

 

 

* Meaning only in Zelda. It is actually the only game she actually plays every title from, other than Silent Hill. Outside of those 2 series she only plays Facebook games.
