Proper BC although great is not the norm in the industry and really not something to value a console on. The PS3 will not be remember for cutting PS2 BC after a year, just like PS2 won't be remembered for being completely BC with PS1- BC is nothing more then a bonus. In regard to sequels name one time this gen that a remaster has visibly delayed a new game? Dark Souls 3 is obviously going to happen but it was never going to be a 2015 title, same for DMC. I really don't think theres is a single instance right now where you can say we would have had X game, if it wasn't for a remaster. Its really not a conversation worth having unless there is a distinct lack of new games being released, that obviously hasn't been the case for the last 6 months and won't be the case moving forward (unless everything gets delayed to fall 2015/ Q1 2016) |
We probably won't see an original 3D Zelda on the 3DS after the remastered MM and OoT, but even then we had A Link Between Worlds and MM Slightly changed a few minor things for the better in an otherwise unacceptable game that required an expansion pack.
Remasters require a lot of the companies resources but Naughty Dog released TLOUR last year and planning to release Uncharted this year, still keeping up with their roughly two year development time.
