Keep in mind the most ironic part about this whole fucking thing is the company a lot of you guys try to make sound like some cash grab type company with Electronic Arts happens to be one of the publishers that has done some of the least remasters
But when you look at how long it's taking for their games to release it's not like not getting a whole collection of dragon age Made that new game release any sooner
There's not a single battlefield remaster in sight yet clearly it's still fucking taking the same amount of time for a new battlefield to release
Where anyone is putting this correlation between how long a game is coming out and a remastered is beyond me they're not even fucking being made by the same teams , so I'm not trying to be mean but build the fucking correlation in a real interesting conversation can occur, it just sounds like some of you are getting mad that you see a remaster and then think that long development times somehow must be because the remaster existed disregarding they're not even fucking being made by some of the same teams or even by the same amount of people.
You saw ports and remasters during the PS3 gen of
Parasite Eve 1 and 1
Dino Crisis 1 and 2
Resident Evil 1,2,3,4,CV (all of em lol)
DMC collection
FFI, II, IV,V,VI, VII, VIII, IX, X and X-2 remaster
Persona 2,3 and 4
Metal Gear Solid Collection
Silent Hill Collection (smfh)
GTA III, VC and SA
Bully
The point of listing those publishers was to highlight that this is about any publisher seeking extra revenue as this isn't JUST a Sony thing.
Using such slow logic, some could argue that remasters hinder new development. Yet, companies regularly work on ports and remasters alongside new games as they have smaller teams or out sources to port teams.. Entire collections can be restored or remastered, which is faster and easier than developing a new title. These processes are not in conflict as again...they are by different teams and are completely different processes.
Getting upset at a restoration team remastering Titanic in 4K because you want a sequel is wildly misguided, those teams aren’t responsible for new productions as I doubt 10 people are going to make Titanic 2 in 3 months. .Thats like, being mad at reruns of a show doesn’t mean new seasons aren’t being made; the processes are unrelated and have nothing to do with each other.
It seems there’s a massive misconception about how remastering works or a lack of context or comprehension about how it supposedly affects gaming.
I was referring to things like Horizon Zero Dawn, Until Dawn and a host of other PS4 games that still look great and run on Ps5. The Last Of Us also got a Ps4 remaster which of course also runs on PS5.
The Jax and Sly collections are on PS3 and not compatible with Sonys current platforms.
And? You can still think they look great and they can still be remastered for new consumers.
Don't buy it lol
I don't see the big deal here as its not marketed for you, its marketed for new consumers, The Last Of Us PS4 remaster literally sold more units then the PS3 versions. The ability to run it on PS5 has nothing to fucking do with a remake, you can run the remaster of FFVII on PS4 and remake lol Thats like saying Square shouldn't remake FFVII cause you think the original looks just fine.
Continue to think that. Play it, enjoy it, others will buy the remake.
You get to play the original, new consumers get to play the remake. So I fail to see the issue here. You get options, publisher get the extra revenue, new hires get a project to build experience on, whats the issue exactly?
The ports from PS1 to PS3 via PSN are on a fucking system that can play PS1 games natively, yet that didn't stop Square, Capcom, Sega, Sony etc from porting titles to the system, ports and remasters are not fucking made based on NOT being compatible to some current system, that is irrelevant to their existence. I even fucking told some of you this years ago when some of you made some weird ass argument that PS5 being BC would make less remasters lol
Did you guys fucking forget of all those remasters and ports that literally happen on systems with BC? The deepest of lolz
Capcom is the most shameful company when it comes to remasters. They re-release their games for every platform including toasts.
This. Capcom is a great example of a company that does this even more to a wilder degree, yet still in business, still making new games etc. I have no clue where this dumb theory that a remaster is hurting a new game has even come from
Capcom should have zero time to make any new game with all the remasters and ports the put out using some people's weird logic on here.
Ceadeus
those games are way too old for remasters and design wise, i would make sense for a remake or even sequel to stuff like MAG, Warhawk etc
