Like I said earlier, it's less about the actual remasters, and more about the lack of original content. The two things may be related or not, but they are connected in the mind of many gamers. It's like if you go to a restaurant, and you order your main course, and you're waiting for your meal, and the waiter keeps bringing basket after basket of bread. Even though the bread probably doesn't have anything to do with your meal being delayed, after a certain point, you're going to be all like "enough with the fucking bread". Edit: And when you have companies like Capcom, whose E3 lineup is 3/4 remasters, it gives the impression that remasters are being financed over new games. |
I agree with you that certain companies are focusing too much on remasters but the amount of original titles in the first two years of 8th gen has to be comparable to the first two years of the 7th gen. Less original content could be attributed to the influx of remasters but there just isn't any evidence of that. Why not outsource older games to another studio that specializes in remastering content and put the profit towards the budget of the next game.
Anything that supports a higher budget for a game can only be a good thing. But yes, too many remasters per company can pretty questionable.
