I hear Microsoft is coming with another remaster of Gears as well. Its quite sickening. Focus on new games. Anyway, heres hoping for Sony's E3. 


I'm not sure why the hate for remastered games. Why do publishers keep releasing them? Because people buy them. Why do people buy them? because they want them.

People act like remastereds are made to rob us of our money but it requires somebody wanting the game and them willingly handing over their money.

As for the "focus on new games" argument. Most of the time, the work is outsourced to a 3rd party developer or to a small developing team they own and is usually a small team specifically put together for remakes.

If the team do handle the remaster themselves, it's relatively a small task and uses minimal resources. And if they can generate more money and help studios expand or survive, it's another plus.
