I don't really understand why anyone would be against them. They're quick, cheap, often just outsourced and generate easy revenue for future titles. If all the remastered titles disappeared we wouldn't suddenly have more new games. People would just have less choice.

I can understand people being dissapointed by the lack of quality next gen only releases (relative to last gen), but that has little to do with remasters.

How? If it wasnt for the remasters, the console makers would have to do something else. Meaning they would work on new titles.

As I said, they're quick, cheap, and often just outsourced anyway. They don't halt other projects for the sake of remasters. At most they might take away a small team (delaying a current project by a couple of months), and in exchange make easy money that can be used to either fund new projects or speed up development of existing ones (negating the initial down side). It's a win-win as far as I'm concerned, for both developers and gamers.
