Remastered Games Are Here to Stay, And Here’s Why That’s a Good Thing

From theGeekCulture.com feature editorial:

"We’re seeing an interesting trend emerge with this generation of games, with a lot of older titles from the PS3/360 era seeing re-releases on new consoles. Last year, Square Enix delivered the double-header that was Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition; Capcom is currently heading in that direction with today’s release of Resident Evil and the forthcoming DmC: Devil May Cry Definitive Edition in March; Deep Silver has the beautiful Metro Redux and today’s release of Saints Row IV: Re-Elected; and 2K Games has announced Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, which will bring Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel to Xbox One and PS4 in a couple of months."

Couldn't agree more, except I hate re-mastered games... =(

JoGam3384d ago

I welcome remasters. I just don't want a developer to put off a new ip to make a remaster. As long as they have multiple teams i'm good.

UltimaEnder3384d ago

What is your example of a great remaster and a horrible one?

JoGam3384d ago

Im not sure I understand ur question.

spicelicka3384d ago

^ I will answer that for you. A great remaster would be what's in the thumbnail, Halo: MCC. Ignoring the matchmaking issues, which were fixed within a month, it's just the most amazing remaster package I've ever seen.

I mean most games don't even remaster the multiplayer, just the story mode in HD. These guys went beyond that by giving us 4 games, all upgraded to HD, Halo 2 totally re-done with changeable engines, halo 2 cinematics totally redone, halo 2 multiplayer redone along with multiplayers from all other halos (5 multiplayers including remaster) in matchmaking, soundtrack redone. Holy shit I could keep going.

Im getting pretty sick of remakes, Im ready for new IP's already.

I don't agree that it's a good things, I want new games, not remastered that in the UK cost the same, if not more as when I bought them the first time with things like residentevil being the acception, but if they came out last gen ps3/360 I don't want them.

They should remaster top games like halo, gears, gow, last of us, etc. Other are just cash grabs
An example would be Saints Row 4 Re-elected Edition

Roccetarius3384d ago (Edited 3384d ago )

It's funny you should mention cash grabs, considering one of the games you listed was one. I don't agree with remastering games that are only a few years old.

Would be nice to have a PS5 version that runs at 60 fps.

JokerBoy129511d ago (Edited 511d ago )

The PS4 version runs at 60 on PS5 if you go into settings and it's either an uncap frame rate option or it's a Vsync option you need to toggle.

Pedrof510d ago

Didn't know that ! Thanks for the info.

Mr Logic511d ago

It does...Do you just spew whatever comes into your little brain without a modicum of research?

Profchaos511d ago

Weird choice why all of a sudden do we get this change?
Also I'm not a fan of them removing the original game code from my library when I actually brought that game why not just give access to both versions I know the changes are minor at best but there are changes still

Mr Logic511d ago

Where did they say that? Are you just making a stuff up?

Nothing in that post indicates they are taking away your ability to play the original. And that being said why would you WANT to play the original if you have the remaster? All the changes improve the game.

Profchaos511d ago

From the article direct copy and paste

All other versions and separate DLC will be removed from sale as of December 8th and will no longer be useable. All of your saves and achievements will be moved over so you can still play as you always have. Mods should not be affected.

I believe in preservation why remove the original game theres plenty of precedent that you can have both versions even if it's minor changes

Mr Logic507d ago

@Profchaos

Removed from SALE. If you have it, then you have it. Add in piracy and the original is not going anywhere.
