Well that's kind of a trick question because the PS3 was backwards compatible early on.............

Not a trick question at all, obviously only PS3 releases count. Backwards compatibility is a whole different story 


Since it was backwards compatible there was no need for any physical re-releases.......... the first work on a physical remaster did not start until 2008 because there was no need to do so before then. What point are you trying to make? My OP stated that remasters have existed before and in large quantity, especially collections of whole series. They are perhaps becoming more frequent in PS4, and this is partly because of no backwards compatibility. I did not say whether or not I agreed with remasters or not

Keep rolling them all you want. When you're done, look up threads with the announcement of remasters of DmC, Tomb Raider, and even Darksiders 2. See which ones attract more hate and try to figure out why. And just a hint, it's not the price or how good of a deal they are.


Well in those threads there isn't anyone defending them to the death like you would for a Sony only game so you get less arguments. People just say they're cash grabs and move on. 


I guess that's one way to look at it.

Well at least its a collection. They should include Origins as well though...

I don't see how all these remasters and re-releases are a new thing. Maybe they are getting more frequent?


You see the Collection and Trilogy following most of the games? That and they went from SD to HD.

Ok, at first I was turning a blind eye to remasters but this is getting silly. The Arkham games are still in recent memory and the game already has a good amount of hype going into to release ( the new gameplay trailer looks fantastic)

True that; the graphical leap was a lot larger back then. Not trying to dispute anyone's opinions on remasters, just pointing out that they (and collections) have existed before.

They have. They didnt really come until about 3 years after the 7th gen begun though. Now theyre just everywhere...

8th gen so far is creatively bankrupt, the "well" seems to have dried, at least for the moment.

I understand that you will get a few people who hate on things because of the console it's on. But to dismiss all criticism as haters and other console fanboys is Just as bad imo.

First of all, PS3 and 360 only had limited backwards compatibility, so let's not act like devs/publishers couldn't have dropped several remasters and collections right away if they wanted to.

As for my point....I believe it was fairly straight forward. We're getting too many "remasters" (most of which are really just lazy ports) so far this gen. By the time the first 2-3 years are up we'll no doubt have more of them than the entire 7th gen of consoles did in 8+ years.

I don't know why you're trying to read into it like I was attempting to put words in your mouth on your opinion about them. I had no such intention, and of all the things I could put in ones mouth, words are at very back end of things I would consider first.
