I havent played a COD game since Modern Warfare 3...

Just because Sony throws a few bucks and slaps their name on some indie title, doesnt mean they had much to do with it.  

I mean COD as a general term for whatever you play, which evidently isn't indies, or sony-published indies.

Again, nothing wrong with not playing indies if they dont float your boat, but you cant really complain about 'new stuff' when indie games are pretty much all 'mehs' by default.

I dont see anything bad about them. Its just people want more than remasters and people are growing impatient

I play Indie games that catch my attention. Love Shovel Knight and The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth among others. Im just not excited about many of them. They have usually been out for a while before I even hear about them.

The worst thing I hear about Remasters is that "Its for the people who didnt get the chance to play it last gen". Thats just BS. They had their chance, but they decided not to.

So what are the point of these remasters? Is it for people who wouldnt dare to play a game with less than 60fps? People who sold their last console because the games on it werent good enough to keep? People who only play that game?

Theres no point to them. They are just fillers so that publishers can squeeze some more money out of a game.

Perhaps not exactly, but some basic knowledge of game development makes it pretty easy to work such things out. If they are so much trouble shouldn't we also be complaining about developers putting a game on more than one console? Same basic idea (even if not 100% comparable).

As for your last point, they do add something to a library. That people are buying and enjoying them is proof of that. Heck, for some these are functionally brand new games.

Anyway, seeing as we aren't likey to agree let's just agree to disagree ^^

Remasters are to make money and being a remastered game there will be two potential buyers those who had the game before and those who didn't.

They add to the library while that can be more valueble to someone who hasn't played the game and can even be nice for those who no longer have the system or just wanted to upgrade. They can also build a bigger audience for a sequel when it will be comeing to the same platform.

Plus in cases where they are done well they add content like a game of the year edition as well as better performance/ visuals

This is pretty much how I feel. There's nothing wrong with remasters (personally I think they're a good thing), but for those that want new experiences this gen has been a bit disappointing so far. It's easy to point the finger at the thing you don't care about.

I think remasters are good when the game in question hasn't been touched in several years. It gives an opportunity for people who missed the game or a new generation to play the game themselves.

While it may not be a bad thing, remasters for games only a year or 2 old leave a salty taste in my mouth. The game is readily available to pick up and I don't see much of a need to remaster it. If more consoles were BC, there would almost be no need for them. Of course, there is always the chance a company or dev team wants to remaster their game, which I can't fault them for doing what they want.

I think it's great. Like you said it only takes a small team to do it. And that team may well be idle while the rest of their studio is busy thinking up their next game to make.

It's one of the best games ever and ps4 this gen is going to have over 40m owners who never had a ps3. (my estimat). All these wii and 360 converts now get a chance to play an incredible game made even better. Meanwhile people like me get to double dip.

Price shouldn't be above $40.

As you say the more games the better. Last gen started slow and it sure could have done with a few remasters to bolster the line up for the first few years.

When most of the remastered games are the cream of the crop the quantity kinda does equal quality.
