| Samus Aran said: The majority of games in the top 20 on metacritic (PS4/XBONE) are remasters/cross-gen games. 2 years into their lifetime... Do we really need pointless remasters like GoW 3 and Uncharted Collection? MS and Ninty are handling remasters mostly fine, but some other companies... Halo: MCC was good on paper, but the online should've been better. |
Really? So its wrong to have an uncharted collection remaster but OK to have a halo or gears of ear remaster. Its wring to have a GOW3 or TLoU remaster but OK to have a windwaker HD remaster? Can you string one sentence together without making your anti Sony stance evident?
I love and I hate all remasters equally. But I also at least have the sense to understand their worth. I for one skipped every major game released in 2013 cause I was secretly hoping they get remastered for the PS4 when it released later in the year. I ended up playing Dark souls 2, GTA5, Tomb raider, TLoU, Metro and Journey all for the first time on my PS4. And mine is even an extreme case cause there are lots of gamers that didn't have a platform last gen or were simply too young to get into certain games that remasters will cater to.
Look at MS, they are making remasters for gears and halo... on one hand it may seem they aren't making that many remasters, has it crossed you mind that gears and halo are the two primary IPs that Xbox has? That would be like Sony has way more IPs and thus the volume of remasters naturally should be higher.
And fact still remains, remasters aren't stopping new games from being released. And like everything on the planet, if there wasn't a market for it and they didn't make money, everyone wouldn't be doing it.
