"How much is too much?" When people stops buying them, it will be too much. It is as simple as that.

I'd rather have an HD remake of a really good game than 4-5 new crappy games that shouldn't have been made.

The problem with about 60% of newer games is they don't even attempt to learn from the past.

There's a good way to do it and also a bad way to do it... The ending of this article goes off to explain that modders can offer everything for free but I'll have to disagree with that because Devs can offer an update to the games engine which is something I haven't seen a modder do. Halo's 10th anniversary edition should be what HD remakes strive for... the MGS 1 remake for gamecube is another good example. The Splinter cell HD edition is a good example of the bad way to do it. If say Bethesda went back and did a remake of Morrowind using skyrim's engine then that would be the good way to do it.

When a certain IP is getting remastered and re-packaged in a way that ensures the there's a new game every single year.

There you go again pulling punches and mincing words. Just say it.
When you release psp remakes and ps2 remakes and then put them altogether again to cash in. God of War.

Catoplepas4044d ago

Better than no games whatsoever.

Tzuno4044d ago

Why the negativity? Remakes give other people the chance to play great games that they never played because they were to young for that time or they missed those. And a good game deserves his place.

I need a couple more. onimusha, FFXII, to name a few

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64118d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

Cacabunga118d ago

The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..

FinalFantasyFanatic117d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits118d ago

I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.

gold_drake118d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.

Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time - A Legend 25 Years in the Making

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time debuted 25 years ago, forever changing the face of video games and becoming a legend of its own.

Number1TailzFan150d ago

I used a guide to beat part of it but some of the rest myself, still enjoyed it regardless. Too bad they didn't stick with this kind of gameplay for the rest of the series as I would prefer it over what they're doing now.

TheBrainZ150d ago

A definitive moment in video game history. Played it countless times, and Zelda was the best reason to own an N64.

FinalFantasyFanatic150d ago

I played through OoT so many times on the 64, then I bought it on the 3DS before the Eshop shut down. I wish we could have a Zelda collection like we did for Mario, I still can't believe that never happened.
