Mark from GamersFTW writes his opinion on the pros and cons of buying re-mastered titles
Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.

Rockstar Games has released a new update for GTA V that patches the game to version 1.006.002 on PS5 and Xbox Series S|X.
Wtf why remove a function that wasn't tied to licensing and was promoted as a selling point back in the PS4 and x1 release.
There's also trophies dependent on this
For me it all depends on whether they make whole-scale changes and include DLC in the remaster. But then I guess that's more of a remake?
Definitely agree that some older PS2/Xbox remasters would be fantastic, but I guess it's not as straightforward for the developers; it may end up being a remake!
Some games should be left alone, as pieces of art. Others need a little more time in the spotlight. Oddworld: New N Tasty was amazing, and collections are okay like with Halo, but I disagree with Last of us being remastered after not being out long.
Depends on the players personal relationship with the game to many extents. Like I'd never played Majora's Mask so was super excited when it was remade and updated for the 3DS. If I'd played the original, however, I'm not sure if I would have bothered to buy it again.
I've written something similar to this a while back and completely agree! I love the fact that as a previous 360 owner i can play Last of Us and Uncharted , but games like dark souls and borderlands I feel are pretty uneccesary. I will however defend GTA, a game that people play for years after its release, and a game Rockstar wanted to constantly update, they needed to put it on next gen to keep it relevent. Not many people would pull out an old 360 when they have their shiny new PS4 even if it is GTA. Great article man!
I am on the fence with remastered games. Games such as last of us (which was already elaborated on) should not have been remastered, there were hardly any additions to the game and it seems lazy to me, it's easier to upgrade a game than to make a new one. That's why I hope remasters start slowing down here soon so we get actual new games instead of the ones we have been stuck with since before the new gen systems released.
