Don't know why people care so much about ports of games they do not want...

I for once, might buy it since I did not have a chance last year and I did like heavy rain alot.

Derp double post

Okay This would just piss people off, I mean this would put a shit stain on their reputation for being greedy as shit in my opinion because they could. Have just made ps4 compatible to play those games!

For the gamers.

This is more of a reason to not have backwards compatibility.

and other people dont realize that they can still buy a PS3...

I think it's more to do with developers spending their time remastering a series rather than making brand-new games.

An idea common among those who have a limited grasp of the industry.

A remaster as opposed to a collection is not that much of a drain on resources. Which is why the majority of these arguments fail. I.e its not remaster vs new game, its remaster vs nothing

Hell, even a Demo is arguably more intensive then a rerelease.

Look how long it took for KH3 to simply go into production vs the release of KH 1.5 which was not only a collection but a remaster that basically involved recreating whole assets as opposed to slapping a new texture onto them.

Oh I know that remasters aren't nearly as time-consuming as new games, but I think you give a big disservice to the devs when you say demos are easier to develop. With a remaster, you're still having the team updating certain portions of the game and optimising it for the new generation. You make it sound like it's just a direct port, which it's not. It still requires manpower and time, even if it may be just a fraction of developing a game outright.

And look, I respect that you're an indie developer, but your posts come along as a little on the smug side. Just because most of us don't design games doesn't make us ignorant.
