EA Access, is it good for gaming or is it bad?

The truth is we just don't know. But this isn't what this thread is about. One of the main points people have in favor of EA Access is that it give gamers choice.

So this brings me to The Last of Us: Remastered. Why the hate? Doesn't this also give gamers "choice".

I do not understand where the hate is coming from. People are not forced to buy it and if this does become a trend and we see hundreds of remastered games, I welcome it. Why? Because I, and many other gamers, would like to play games they didn't have the chance to play first time around or play their favourite games with updated visuals and played on a far superior controller.

It's not like every game will be remastered, they won't. Just the best from generations gone by. Flops will not make financial sense to be remastered.

It would be a great source of income for the developer where they actually deserve it and help fund future projects. As opposed to the worrying rise in Micro-Transactions which are the bain of gaming.

So the point is, this is true choice for gamers. There is no hidden agenda. You pay to play a game, doens't matter if it's remastered or not. So if you truly believe in "choice" for the gamer then you shouldn't be against remasters.

This is to encourage debate so please refrain from turning this into X1 vrs PS4 thread. Remember, remasters are coming to both consoles.

There are only two choices. The blue pill and the red pill.

Im not against remasters at all but it matters that the only thing sony puts out between infamous and driveclub is a game of the year edition. There is nothing wrong with releasing Game of the year editions, or rereleasing the last of us with an upres, people just want sony to put out some games that justify the PS4 purchase.

Im going to note that Microsoft has done jack all in regards to getting games out there since titanfall came out so Sonys not alone in this front.

Shouldn't the argument then be the other way around? Isn't there more "hate" for EA access?

There is a hell of a lote more hate for EA Access.

Equally, people's primary argument against the products are fundamentally different.

One is about value (TLOU:D being expensive, originally full price), the other is about access (the idea that EA is unlikely to continue adding new titles to the vault, or may start removing them). Not a relevant comparison at all.

And if you insist on making it, it won end well. TLOU is fantastic. It also cost nearly double a year of EA Access...

We've had so many threads about this topic..
There is nothing wrong with TLOUR. Some remasters are obvious cash grabs like GTA V, but TLOUR is not since many have not played the game. If people didn't want it, then it wouldn't be selling well. 

The PS Nation had a thread title a few weeks ago that said that TLOUR was the most hated remaster, and even though it sounded dumb, I'm starting to think that its true.

Yeah honestly this should mean that some Sony fans would understand why we like EA Access. Yet its hated by most here.

TLOU:R is a cash grab that works but it seems like guys make more defense threads about it than the haters do offense ones. It gets annoying.

I get ya, I struggle to find something to play sometimes but that pretty much what the start of every new is like.

We know that Sony and Microsoft are working on some huge games so it's not like they are sat there do nothing. We will get the games, all their big stusios are working hard to get games out. I mean they could of dropped the support for the last gen consoles years in advance to get ready to support the PS4/X1. But I'm glad they didn't.

Remasters also do not take up a lot of resources so there would only be a small team working on it so it shouldn't delay any of their ongoing projects either.

I didnt buy the last of us and waited for the Remastered PS4 version, as I suspected it would come out at some point so it's helping fill my gaps. But for others the wait might be a bit too much. One thing I find weird/annoying about this remaster though is the fact that its been re reviewed like something new just for site hits and to fan the flames of internet forum console wars. I dont recall Fallout 3 getting re reviews when it's GOTYE came out.

Maybe so, but TLOU:R has been slated for no good reason. People can complain about price but prices will go down with less demand. If there is demand then the prices stay high. A common business practice. I see TLOU:R for £32 in the UK and before long that will be sub £20. Price isn't an issue.
