I have a problem with ALL remasters. I bitched about the OOT remaster. I bitched about the WW remaster. I bitched about the LOU remaster... I just think the whole idea of selling the same game twice is a terrible waste of time and resources and only has ONE objective... to make money.
Having grown up during the 8 and 16 bit era, rarely if ever did we have a remake or remaster. If we did, most of us would have ignored the damn thing and it would have ended up in the bargain bin for $9.99 a few months later. I want NEW games, with NEW tech and NEW story lines. I don't want FFX or GOW3... I want FF15 and GOW4.
The only reason for remasters is to make money. The story has been told. The creators vision is finished. They've moved on. There is no artistic integrity left in the project. It's JUST a money grab.

Aren't all games released to make money?

Yes, but when a new game launches, there are artists who are creating works of art and expressing themselves. There are story tellers spinning tales for generations to come. In short, there are people invovled in making the game who are doing it because they have a passion for the art behind it.
When a remake happens, it's just cold hard business. The original team has either disbanded, or moved on to something else. What you have is a bunch of suits, looking at quarterly reports and ordering old IP to be touched up by a contracted team of people who work like studio owned song writers, living pay check to pay check.
It's just a chase grab.
