It seems like developers have not been fully utilizing the potential that the current generation game consoles have been providing. This article takes a look at how game developers are not utilizing the new consoles and still developing the games for last-gen consoles.
Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.
This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.
tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?
Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.
By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.
It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.
Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.
I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.
I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.
Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.
It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

Inb4 excuses about devs needing time to understand the tech, even though the new consoles are just (lower) mid-ranged PCs.
No point yet
defecation is what developers do to consoles
Did this author see what happens when last gen games are ported to current gen? Eg: TR Definative edition people called it a cash grab.
Personaly I would love to see some more ports. But I would say I'm in the minority.
Seeing how the install base for PS3 and 360 exceed the PS4 and X1 by a factor larger than 20 it's no wonder they are still making games for last gen. Also the author assumes Devs will just instantly transistion from one gen to the next, as if they've been working with the PS4 and X1 tech since their conception. Unless you're a 1st party Dev you've most likely had Dev kits for about a year at most, many third parties are porting last gen into current gen titles since all they need to do is bump up the visuals.
It doesn't matter which console they sell a game for, whether it's for PS3 or PS4 they're going to be selling it for $60. And while I made it sound like porting was easy (tbh I have no idea), it still costs money. The only reason to make a game for a current gen console to go with a last gen console is to appease fans. Many companies don't want to spend extra money to make a few people happy (since most people probably won't care too much if there is only a last gen version).
I can understand wanting more games for the shiny new console you just bought, but from a Publisher standpoint making a current gen version is a costly service, not a necessity.
