The sales figures for the remasters tells you all you need to know, People want them. All three systems have loads of remasters, people buy them on all three, just because the game isn't new to you doesn't mean the people that buy them have played them too, and for them they get a new experience that is in almost all situations, a better, more refined experience than the original, they get a better version of what you consider a "full, worthwhile game", do you honestly think they give two shits how people like you see it? They still get a full game, a fresh experience, and even people who did buy the game originally are likely to buy it again, in those cases its because they enjoyed the original enough to warrant double dipping, and if thats the case than the developers have earned that second sale. That whole "we deserve better" line is full of shit and is extremely entitled, remasters are made and sold, but so are perfectly unique and new games, buy what you want to play and enjoy it, thats what games are for, don't shit your nappy over other people buying remasters enough to warrant the continued production of them. I'm guessing the 93 meta is your trigger. |
what if 80% of the games that came out were remasters of last gen games, would you have a problem then? how much of it has to cut into original releases before you have a problem with it?
