If the architecture could easily have been utilized by the PS4, I imagine you would have PS3 BC out of the gate Whether this means less remasters is debatable since a remaster would, theoretically, be better looking and more content complete. Like, I think TloU Remaster would still be a thing because it essentially acts as a 'GoTY edition'. In fact, I imagine a similar thing will happen with PS5 (and XSX maybe?). There will be remasters but they will basically be the complete edition of the game, so FF15 with all content or KH3 with all content in a single package etc. While the content itself is not exclusive to next gen, that particular release will be. Just my thoughts |
I could be wrong but I believe remasters will be rare next gen, first, because of backwards compatibility, second, because its said the BC will improve the visuals and performance, hence no need to pay again full price for remasters when ps4 games will be like 5 dollars.
Still doesn't mean the game would be 4K HDR, hardware cant do that, but most games are already enhanced for the pro, so at least the most important games would look great on ps5 without need for remasters. The only games I can think of that really needs a remaster is GTA5 and Driveclub, they look bad once I got used to the pro enhanced games.
In fact I'm already happy with current gen games enhanced on the pro such as Horizon, god of war, I wouldn't buy a remaster at all, unlike the ps3 games that really really needed remaster because of lack of AA and low resolutions and very low framerates below 30fps. PS3 games Ill buy as many remasters as they can make, I'd pay full price for a mass effect trilogy remaster and a max payne 3 remaster, also Deadspace trilogy remaster and Darkness.
