Since it was backwards compatible there was no need for any physical re-releases.......... the first work on a physical remaster did not start until 2008 because there was no need to do so before then. What point are you trying to make? My OP stated that remasters have existed before and in large quantity, especially collections of whole series. They are perhaps becoming more frequent in PS4, and this is partly because of no backwards compatibility. I did not say whether or not I agreed with remasters or not


First of all, PS3 and 360 only had limited backwards compatibility, so let's not act like devs/publishers couldn't have dropped several remasters and collections right away if they wanted to.

As for my point....I believe it was fairly straight forward. We're getting too many "remasters" (most of which are really just lazy ports) so far this gen. By the time the first 2-3 years are up we'll no doubt have more of them than the entire 7th gen of consoles did in 8+ years.

I don't know why you're trying to read into it like I was attempting to put words in your mouth on your opinion about them. I had no such intention, and of all the things I could put in ones mouth, words are at very back end of things I would consider first.

I agree, too many, what´s next?...Modern Warfare 1-3?...Assassins Creed 1-3?....This gen is still young, I get that, but it already desperately needs an identity of its own, one that won´t end up as "gen of the remasters"
