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.

The only remasters I've been okay with in the last 2 years were Majora's Mask, MCC and Grim Fandango. MCC mostly because the first two games have MP elements that can no longer be experienced on console and buggy MP aside, it was a great deal. Majora's Mask is what, a 15 year old game on a console that can't be purchased via retail anymore. Plus the game was starting to hit that retro price where it's almost not worth buying. I don't think Grim Fandango needs to be explained.
The rest of these don't make much sense to me. These games are not being built from the ground up to match the capabilities of the PS4/XBO, they are simply getting slight upgrades for extra sales. People can use whatever justification they want, most of these games can be found for less than $20 on the PS3/360. Like others have suggested, Sony and MS should just reduce the prices of these older consoles.
People are saying if you don't want it, don't buy it, can't the same be said if you do want to play it. If people wanna play these games enough, they should just buy it on their original consoles which I wouldn't really call outdated yet. You guys always go on and on about how these casuals only buy 2-3 games anyway, if this is true then they won't have a problem buying a PS3/Xbox 360 just to play these 2-3 games they want.

Finally, someone who phrases it right.
I can't, however, agree with the rest. I wanna play Fable 2, but I'm not gonna buy an xb360 no matter what. It's not worth the extra money, Fable 2 looks worse than it would on xb1, and I don't want a 5th console in my room, taking space and being used once a blue moon. Now that I have a ps3, ps4, 3ds, vita, and a PC, getting a new-old console would make zero sense to me. I also haven't played anything on my ps3 in ages, despite my huge backlog. If it were to come out as a remaster for the ps4, I would preorder it without a second thought. For me it would be a new game and well worth $40 or whatever they would charge for it.
So I seriously don't understand why anyone would think that people should go out and buy old consoles they don't need instead of waiting and spend $10 on a remaster after its inevitable price drops. You think it's expensive? Wait for a pricecut. Have no interest at all in it? Don't buy it. That simple.
Also, there's so much flip-flopping, it's not even funny. First people claim that remasters are bad because they take up developers' time, then that we have too many remasters, then that we want new games, and NOW that games like GoW should have been a collection. Do they realize that making a collection and making sure that all those games run smoothly on ps4 would take ages and would actually stop SM developers from working on GoWIV? I mean, some consistency would be great. As for me, I'll wait for a price cut and maybe in 2018, I'll play it again, 8 years after the first time.
