Why do so some gamers have a problem with God Of War III: Remastered?

Your last line is exactly what's wrong with so many complaints.  Why are so many people under the illusion that these remasters are made instead of a new game.  Santa monica are already working on a new god of war.  This is a little side project being used to fill the summer drought.  I'd rather have this now aswell as god of war 4 later.  The more the merrier.  And nobody is being forced to buy this but millions will because you know they actually want this and find value in it. 

Its not a wrong assumption. Porting a game requires resources that would otherwise be pooled to a different project. May not mean a totally different project is developed, but it may speed up the development of a different project.

So, either new game or a faster release. I would still prefer one of those options.

What if the GoW4 project stayed on its original course and they got this done aswell?  The coders might have done it before their roles in GoW4 were even ready to take place.
