remasters are only welcome if the game is at least 10 years old.

Why? It's the same improvement if the jump is only one generation and it will take the same amount of time to remaster.

because for me its not really a big improvement as I would like it to be unless the game really sucked..

This doesn't account for the fact that current sysetms are not backwards compatible. What we're seeing currently is actually very comparable with nintendo releasing Zelda OOT Master quest on the gamecube and virtual console. It wasn't considered a remaster but was infact a remaster the graphics were better and so was the performance. The difference is it priced appropriately, something a lot of current remasters are not.

i don't really like how remasters are being done now like last gen most of them were 40 dollars at launch and had like 2 or 3 games in them compare to what they are now being charge 60 dollars for one game ...

Then you wait a few months and can buy the remastered versions much cheaper in a sale.

The Metro Redux games are now available for €12.49 each, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for €19.99, The Last of Us Remastered €24.99 earlier this month, some of them get further reduced for PS+ subscribers.

Resolution and frame rate are part of the broader term "graphics".

And you know, the game was given out for free on the gamecube so it wasn't exactly a cash grab.

I like remasters but I think treating games being rereleased a year later like new releases is counterproductive to the industry and shows that some games need multiple releases just to break even.

I don't mind remasters whatsoever. They give people choice to play the game (again) with better graphics and smoother gameplay. Though I must add that I don't want companies to rely on remasters too much so they might possibly get in the way of new games.

MOAR REMASTERS! We need Skyrim which suffered from 7th gen release. We need ME trilogy to promote the new one and make the elevator rides and framerate stable.

Looks like we have consensus.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I'm not against remasters but I rather play new IP's or new additions into a series.

The games being remastered were in some cases not even 1 year old, and one cannot really compare DVD's to Video games as remastered DVD's take no more than one month to produce and take no attention from any new DVDs and movies being made while remastered Video games take months and usally to to the developer that count as a new game release.

Wouldn't those be considered simple ports then? I mean it's not their fault that there wasn't a new console at the time of their game's release.

Exactly.  That's just a port and something they probably had planned from the beginning, which also means it didn't take them much time away from their other projects to make it.
