Remastering video games is a great practice

Matt Ferguson of G4@Syfygames writes "With the recent announcement of the Final Fantasy VII remake, and some other fantastic remasters like Gear of War Ultimate Collection on the horizon, we felt it was necessary to step back for a moment and talk about what makes remastered games so awesome. I could probably go on for about a week about this, because I'm personally a huge proponent of remastering and remaking games, so I'll try not to ramble too much.

I've heard many people gripe about so many games being remastered since the Xbox One and PS4 came out, but I really don't see the downside to it. There are plenty of great reasons for a developer to want to remaster one of their successful titles, and probably even more reasons as a gamer to pick one of them up. So let me break it down for you."
