Going to be some angry people around here if it's true. Expect fireworks.

i dont understand why, PS4/XB1 have gotten Uncharted Collection, Master Chief Collection, Gears of War, God of War 3, Tomb Raider, Rayman Legends, The Last of Us, Saints Row IV, Resident Evil 5-6, Grand Theft Auto V, Devil May Cry 4, Injustice, and probably quite a bit more.

From what I've seen, people (unfairly or not) just have higher standards when it comes to Nintendo.

If you say it enough times, you'll eventually start believing it yourself :)

Personally, I'm not bothered by ports. It's not like we aren't getting new games and new IPs and the ports are often outsourced or done by a smaller studio that aren't taking any resources from development of other games. And if you aren’t interested in a specific game/port/remake/DLC/etc. don’t buy it. Additionally, I've never understood the hate for cross gen ports. The games are made for the newest gen and ported down.

Still, PlayStation got a lot of flack for its ports. A fair share of those from Nintendo fans. I remember A LOT of flack in a thread about TLOU:R and also a thread where PwerlvlAmy ended up getting moderated because he/she went all out with the “PS4 has leaps and bounds more remasters than original games”.

Below are some of the comments in just this 1 thread I bothered to find.

i know there are tons of apologists out there for remasters so i have to ask, how long are you willing to accept this kind of stuff? how many times does this have to happen before you say ENOUGH with the remasters? i seriously dont get it. there is a disconnect between me and some of you who think this kind of stuff is ok.

seriously. not that it will affect the sales of the ps4, but im talking for you die hard fans out there. dont you want ps4 to have its own identity? because so far it has hardly differentiated itself from the ps3 at all. its really sad to see honestly.

I agree. It makes it hard to want to get a Sony PS4 system. It is packed with a large number of remasters, or spiritual successors of niche games.

Sony is just doing what makes them money. If people want to buy something, good business dictates you provide it. I don't like remasters myself.

 

Bofferbrauer said:
And with all those remakes, everything new from Sony feels like it's also on PS3 already, although naturally with worse graphics.

 

PwerlvlAmy said:
yeah the remakes are out of hand with the industry in general,but like others said, as long as people keep buying them then the companies will keep spitting them out

PS4 has no identity of its own because it's nothing but ports

I have been sick of games being remastered for a while already.

 

POE said:
The problem is these remasters are from not so old games.

I find it kind of cheap to rehash games that aren't THAT old

I´m going to save this thread as a testament when somebody talks about apoligism in this regard.
