How come the title hasn't changed even though at least one mod is aware that it is false?

Also, isn't there a rule that a title cannot have a word in capitals?


wow, you would grasp at anything to silence this discussion, wont you? 

I don't know, man. I thought that since we have some rules, we may as well follow them. Fuck me, right?

what is this shit about my thread title is false? because it says "fact?" that is grasping, if you ask me. i would never suggest that someones thread should get shut down because of something so stupid.

Your thread title is a blatant lie, someone just change the title. xD

(Not sure if a mod has to change the title or OP can do it...)

Also calm down dude. He never said your thread should be shut down. Quit with the persecution complex, just because no one agrees with you.

And it still means nothing at all.  It's just you looking for something to complain about.  New games are being made.  Remasters do not affect that.  All they do is to expand the library with quality content, which is never a bad thing.

It's like whining about War and Peace being reprinted.  Oh no, they're reprinting classic books instead of writing new ones!  That's horrible!  Greed!  Know what else?  I saw a rerun on television the other day.  That must eat you up inside.

That whole thing is laughable.

 

the only thing that is laughable is your ridiculous analogy. there are so many differences between the vg industry and the fucking.. book industry. my god. 

but anyway, why dont they literally just remaster every game that came out on the ps3 to the ps4. if they just focused on that the first year, ps4 would have an incredible library already. 

Nah, it's pretty apt, you just don't like it.  You didn't even try to rationalize why it doesn't work so I'll chalk that up as a win.  After all, it simply comes down to media being re-released so that more people can enjoy it.  Period.  my god.

Honestly, I think your complaints about more games being made avaliable to more people are silly and meaningless.  On the list of things to complain about, this one is just mind-boggling.

The staff needed to remaster a game is very small compared to that needed to create a whole new game. They don't need designers, they don't need concept artists, they don't need to write stories, they don't need voice actors, or motion cap or the majority of the time even animators.

Games are in the design and concept stage sometimes longer than the actual programming and graphic design, if you think that remasters reduce the amount of games we get, you are terribly wrong. If anything is reducing the amount of games we have it's the increased standards, especially when it comes to graphical quality.


Remasters are not a problem, remasters are not taking anything away or preventing anything at all.

again, just remaster the entire ps3 library. im sure that would go over real well. lol.

im not going to describe the differences between the two. you should be able to determine that for yourself. in fact, if you just asked anybody on here what the differences are, leaving out the context of the situation, they will tell you plenty of differences. if you want to chalk that up as a win, be my guest. i couldnt care less.

His focus on PlayStation is telling, completely ignoring the fact that the Xbox, WiiU and 3DS have multiple remasters, too.



I agree.

Just ignore the people that disagree with you for the sake of disagreeing or because they can "have arguments with anonymous strangers"

Its almost 1.5y since the new consoles launched and we have not even half the amount of good games on both consoles combined we had on the Dreamcast within its first year. (the console that arguably was such a failure that Sega died)

One would think that after the industry had 15+years to mature even more (after the DC) with 2 juggernaught consoles which had predecessors that sold roughly 90m consoles each. That at least one of the new consoles would have a great library by now let alone both but thats not the case at all.

Today not games sell systems its marketing and lies, fanboys (and their word of mouth) and even more nonsense.

Do you really compare OOT3D/LylatWars 3D  WindWakerHD and Halo Master Chief collection (products that had effort put into them)
To Stuff like TheLastOfUs (framerate does not suck this time edition) and the upcoming GOW3? (both being upress ports)
Its two different types of products.

Its like comparing person A who repainted Mona Lisa  to person B who just photographed Mona Lisa and then just printed out the copy.

a blatant lie, huh? why dont you explain to me how the thread title is a lie. im sure this will be interesting.

Did you not come here to debate, if so then you should explain not just say someone else will do it. You either don't have much faith in your points or you have no wish to argue them, in which case you shouldn't have made the thread to begin with.

His analogy is fine, it doesn't fit 100% but it's close enough. Different people handle reprinting, you don't need the writers present. Different people handle remasters, you don't need designers, writers, voice actors, concept artists and the vast vast majority of code is already written.

They just need to maybe update the blerb, add some copyright and maybe write a little note in the back.

You really don't understand that a subjective opinion cannot be a fact?

The thread title is not a fact, it's a lie.

You think that this is the worst generation in video game history, fact.

This is the worst generation in video game history, opinion.

If you don't understand the title is an opinion not a fact as it is labelled then how can anyone take you seriously in a debate.
