I don't think it matters what I think. All that matters is if people buy them. People do buy them, so people do want them.

I will let you know after I play Halo MCC.



It is near the end of the end....

The only think I hate about remakes/remasters is the fact that there isn't one called Xenogears. Otherwise, there's nothing to hate.

Make them better in the graphics and sound of the game and it's great in my perspective.

The Last Of Us Remastered is not a cash grab! It got released at the very end of the last generations console cycle. People like me that never owned a PS3, slowed down playing games from last gen, or being a whole new generation of players getting on the gaming wagon that have got the PS4.

If they wouldn't have remastered TLOU, the only way we would have been able to play the critically acclaimed masterpiece would have been to cough up a extra $300.oo for the PS3. Which is just nuts buying a piece of 7/8 year old hardware. Just want to be able have a modern machine when being new to platform and not having to back-track by having to buy a previous console.

If a person played the game already. Then that's it. You're done. Mission complete. Your cherry is popped and you're no longer a vergin to it. No need to double dip and complain about buying it again.

Remastered version saved me $300.oo campaired to the cash grab complainers $50.oo.



I love remasters which are made with the same amount of passion as the original game. Case in point: Ducktales Remastered

I love remasters I've never played before. I am happy for people to get the opportunity to play a of a game they've never played before that I have played before, but I doubt I'll ever buy a remaster that I've played in the past.

Well it is obvious when one is only made to make money like GTA or Last of Us and when they actually put alot of time into remaking a game like OoT 3D



I generally like remasters. Sometimes i act the opposite but that i attribute to mood swings caused by staring at screen for extended periods of time. I hope they remaster all the best games from current gen for me to stream to my tv. I have busy couple of years ahead of me.

Both.

I mean, I hate stuff like GTA V, TLOUR, Tomb Raider (etc) because they're just cash-ins for recent games. I like remakes/remasters when they're made with some care and set out to really improve an older game that hasn't aged that well.

If we're talking exclusively remaster though (not remakes), it's a lot harder. But still, I can accept them when they significantly improve on an old title.

This, when a game is only a slight up res and fps bump I see it as a cheap cash in.



I don't like when they remaster games that came out the year prior, like with Last of Us, but I am good with remaster collections, like God of War or Ratchet & Clank, because of having multiple games and having the games be a little older.
