How much would the PS4 cost if it was backwards compatible with Teh Cell and the RSX? Think about that. |
and it would be a power-hungry beast-sized console

What a narcissistic tyrade.... Sorry to inform you and your depressed self, the world doesn't revolve around you and what you believe is right. |

I'm surprised how lively this thread became. Ninety something posts between when I was offline and when I logged back in. I'm inclined to agree with KLXVER on some things. I buy a new console to play new games, not play games from the previous gen. I generally don't buy remastered games because of that. If they remastered games from PS2 era or older, I would probably get it. I'm not gonna knock others for buying remastered games. Some might of missed the game when it was out or they want to keep playing the same stuff.

So much "Fuck what everyone else might like and want. Everything should be about ME ME ME and what I WANT!" in this thread.
Gamers are such a whiny bunch. 
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

I think they are a cheap way for publishers to squeeze more money from their fans. *It's not squeezing if you aren't forced to buy it* What about people who didnt own a PS3? They missed out on many great games. If the PS3 didnt have many games you wanted to play, then why the fuck would you buy a PS4? *Because microsoft and nintendo done goofed, some people just go with what looks better, so why shouldn't they be able to play them IF THEY WANT TO* Well they dont take away from any developers resources? Prove It! *The OP demonstrated this* What about the people with higher standards? If you think The Last Of Us, GTAV, Tomb Raider, God Of War etc wasnt up to your standards, then fuck off or lower your ridiculous standards! (I'm not sure what this point is about) Why do you feel that these remasters should stop? Because I bought a new console, so I want to play new games. *THEN ONLY BUY NEW GAMES, IS THIS THAT DIFFICULT?* What about the people who want these remasters? I dont know. I have no idea why they feel the need to rebuy a last gen game with a few enhancements. *BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T/COULDN'T PLAY THE ORIGINAL* What do you approve of? Remakes and Collections. *Remakes, the things that actually take up A LOT of developer time* The remasters sell well, so why should they stop? GTAVR and TLOUR sold well. The others did ok at best. *You're kind of negating your first point with this one* It makes the developers more money to make new games. How is that a bad thing? They could start selling crack to kids as well. Doesnt mean I would support or defend them. *Good thing remasters aren't harmful or illegal, and there is a healthy demand for them* Why dont you just let it go? Good question... |

I just don't see why instead of choosing not to buy something you want to TAKE AWAY the option from other. People like you, instead of simply not buying something and waiting for your new games want to remove options and choices to the rest of the population because you don't like it.

The question I have to ask is, if the reason for all these remasters is to allow newcomers to enjoy, why aren't they titles they can download in their original format? Like purchasing the PS3 version of The Last of Us on PSN from your PS4.

Well, first of all, the PS3 version can't run on the PS4. PS2 games ran on an emulator on the PS3. Doing the same for PS3 on PS4 is a completely different beast. In order to emulate, you generally need hardware that is much much better than the focus. There isn't enough of a jump between PS3 and PS4. I usually see numbers like 10x-100x to be able to emulate well. The PS3 to PS4 jump is at the bottom of that bracket, and that's on the GPU side, the CPU side, the more important side is almost a decrease in power. So in order for that to happen it must be ported, and if they are going to spend that time porting, they might as well add some quick boosts to be able to take better advantage of the hardware. |
Then the question I have to ask is why aren't some of these newer remastered titles part of the PS4 digital upgrade program? I mean Injustice: Gods Among Us was included, what's the reason for TLoU and Tomb Raider not being a part of that program?
I think remasters are a good concept; they give new gamers a chance to play some of the older hits through the lens of modern technology. Some of them though, like The Last of Us Remastered, feel more like ports to the newer consoles just marketed as something more. To me, the latter do a disservice to the concept.

It doesn't matter what we think. The free decides, and the free market has decided that people fucking love remasters lol
Prediction for console Lifetime sales:
Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million
[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]
3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m
I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
