I only care about remasters that actually change the game quite a bit like Wind Waker HD and the Pokemon remakes!

ok well I'm just saying that new technology affords them the opportunity to give us more content for less price and make all that content better with not only the visual and performance enhancements, but with a better controller possibly and the convenience of not having to keep an old system around.  It's a solid value proposition.  

Look at tLoU which people are bashing.  It's got over $30 worth of DLC tacked on to a $30 game (on Amazon currently) and they're selling it for $50.  So even if you take away all the enhancements they've given the game and playing it on PS4 will afford, it's STILL a value deal.  I swear if they would have just called it GotY edition and released it on PS3 with all the DLC they would have so much less hate since that's what every other game does (so happy they decided to remaster and include everything anyway for a lower price)

I am not against remakes or remasters. I think people who missed them in the past luck out, as they can experience games in an updated form. Here is where the problem lies for me. "Remastering" games that are less than a year old when in a new console release window is a total slap in the face to early adopters. If we care enough to buy your new hardware near its opening release, you can damn well bet 80% or more of us have already played TLOU and other high rated games that aren't even a year old. Also, is it REALLY a "remaster" when the original game was already in HD? I bought several HD remasters last GEN but if I recall right, none of these came out for the first several years of the console lifecycle, and none of them were for recently released already HD format games.

Spot on.

My Master's thesis was 6 months late due to the technical difficulties involved with the coding side of things. In short, people who don't work with software have zero idea of the complexities involved with large scale software projects.

With regards to game development, things have becomed exponentially more complicated for devs. People who don't understand this make ignorant comments and expose themselves as fools. Unfortunately the structure of the internet does not allow these people to be suitably embarrassed for their ignorance.

Could not agree more.

See, you know the solution to the "problem" if they do sell is because lots of people want it, if not they will stop making them.

You, its bad, dont buy it.

Other, its good, buy it.

Discussing it online where everyone walks away with the same opinion they had upon enter... Waste of time...

And the problem with the first 3DS year was that Nintendo was spending a lot of money advertising an old game that they quickly remastered because they were ill prepared for the spring & summer & autumn release periods. If Ocarina of Time 3D was just a side game with a release schedule of multiple new games, it would have been fine. As it was, they were using an old title as their flagship title for the summer, which was a slap in the face for people who bought a 3DS for original content. Sure, most Nintendo fans were totally happy with that remastered classic, but what about the others that already had played the original a hundred times and wanted new games for their new handheld? ;)

Why would they? Maybe you should read your own question again. 

Did I say things aren't more complicated right now? No need to personally attack me by calling me a fool.

Now, as it may be, game studios give a release schedule, and the majority release within that time. Not having a SINGLE major game ready for summer shows that either little to no projects were slated for a summer release, or that Sony underestimated development time.

And what's funny is that Sony is a professional company that knows what they are getting into in terms of development. If they didn't have a single original title ready for a summer release, that's squarely on them. As a game company, they should be ready to deal with delays and structure their release schedule.

Ignoring your blatant sarcasm, I agree. The first year for the 3DS was rocky due to very few original games being released. Of course, at least most of the remakes were over a decade old from the N64 era, meaning that the vast majority of adopters did not have access to those games. 

In this case, around half, if not more, people already had access to TLOU. If they didn't play it then, there may be little reason for a lot of them to play it now.
