I wonder why there's a sudden surge in dislike of remasters?

Probably because some of 'em think it's a chink in the armor of the ps4 so they keep going after it. 

Remasters are optional and they don't eat up resources at all, if anything the sales of 'em give more resources to use with making other games. Fact is the things sell so until they stop selling, there will be remasters.

Why is Sony's first party line-up so poor then so far? Uncharted 4 is delayed as well.

I'm pretty sure you're just trying to get a rise out of people now. Twice now you've avoided my counters and just tried to take potshots at Sony as if they've wronged you somehow. 

No, it's a fact that Sony's first party line-up hasn't been that great so far.

Littlebigplanet 3: glitched and bugged upon release, more of the same and also on PS3

Driveclub: online didn't work properly at launch, it's a racing game (too many of those exist already)

The Order 1886: short game, way too many QTE, mediocre gameplay, fancy graphics (at the cost of everything else)

Infamous Second Son: city is rather empty, good but unambitious game, more of the same.

Knack: unappealing main character, boring gameplay with unfair difficulty

Killzone: Shadowfall: a mediocre FPS

Bloodborne: their one true great game this gen.

MLB franchise: annualized sports games! Yay!

If you think this isn't disappointing then I don't know anymore...

During the same timeframe Nintendo released New Super Mario Bros. U (more of the same, uninspired, uncreative), Nintendoland, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. 4, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Hyrule Warriors, Lego City: Undercover, Fatal Frame V (only in Japan) and The Wonderful 101.

1. Some of those PS4 games you're bad talking reviewed right in the same ballpark as some of those Wii U games you have listed at the bottom.

2. The Wii U has had an extra 12 months to collect games, how many of those exclusives came out in the first 20 months that the Wii U was out?

3. The Wii U has some great exclusives out for it, but Nintendo relies on exclusives much more than Sony does. How many games would be coming out for the Wii U this year if they didn't have any exclusives? 4 or 5? Maybe?
