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 said that because you asked me to take off alol of the remasters that released during the first 1.5 years. There were none due to backwards compatibilty. I do not think devs would have made any that early on because very few would buy them when they could just put in their PS2 disc (although you are right; not all games were compatible, but most were). There would be far less on PS4 if it too was backwards compatible.

I agree we have too many remasters nowadays, and most of them are lazy.  Context and intention is hard to read online lol but no I don't think you were trying to put words in my mouth.
