Can't really blame them, they sell well so why not? A lot of people might bitch about it but as long as they keep selling Sony has no reason to stop making them.

Same goes for Microsoft/Nintendo, they remaster games because it's easy money and potentially introduces new fans to classic games they may not have played.

One of my favorite DL games.

My brother and his fiancee played this game for dozens of hours.

This.

I don't see why anyone would consider remasters as a problem when they sell as well as they do. There's a demand for them, so why shouldn't they get made?

A lot of people want remasters of their favourite games. How many times has Twilight Princess or Paper Mario TTYD been brought up by Nintendo fans?
What about Halo and Gears? 

There is absolutely nothing bad with remasters. Especially in this age, where consoles have finally adopted an x86 architecture, which means the remastered games will be easily playable from this gen to the next through native backward compatibility, just like PC games. 

Yeah, this thread.

I'm pretty sure the only remasters that were just a resolution and frame rate bump were GOW III and Journey. TLOU:R also included texture and lighting changes as well as better AA and the DLC. The Nathan Drake Collection is getting similar upgrades and is even getting updated controls. aaaannnnddd...yeah, those are actually pretty much it for Sony remasters as far as I'm aware.

It's more the notion of acting as if a game only appealing to its fanbase is somehow unique to the Souls series that bugs people, or me at least.

To me and a lot of other people Halo is just another Halo, but I'm not going around acting as if the title somehow isn't important or doesn't have a significant fanbase and Bloodborne, again with Dark Souls 1 selling over 5 million copies, is just the same: an important game with a significant fanbase.

PS4 has a wide number of exclusive and most have poor sales. The widely marketed PS4 exclusives are doing modest numbers as well because they underwhelmed.

You know what PS4 games are doing particularly well? The same ones on X1. :-p

PS4 has a much bigger userbase than X1, yet the exclusive software sales disparity isn't that big. That tells me Sony is doing something wrong.

(1) Who said it was the best? I personally don't care for 'em unless the games being reamastered are from beyond the previous gen. (2) It's better than the wii u's line up. Of course, that's just my preference in games and yours as well. (3) Last time I checked, all 3 make remasters. Also, the only times I see someone talking about which side has remakes or not having remakes and how awesome/bad it is are people like you.

(4) Actually, several users have broken down the lists so that anyone can understand it (and probably ignore it). The lists weren't fluffed up by remasters. The lists are even broken down by type of exclusives. (5) This ties into 4 because we're not using remasters to fluff up the numbers. The xbox one does not have full BC and it can't play even the majority of 360 games. Also, BC does not make an old game current gen because it's still the same old game. BC has nothing to do with thread.

Since you didn't get my post, please reread it. Otherwise, I'm not gonna bother with you. It's like trying to explain what color is to a person who's been blind their whole life.
