gamrReview's Jake Weston: "A few days ago, my colleague Stephen wrote an article stating why he believed that remastered re-releases - games from the previous generation of PS3 and Xbox 360 being remastered for the new generation of PS4 and Xbox One - are getting out of hand... However, I disagree entirely. I don’t often feel compelled to write counterarguments to our articles, but I am going to explain why I feel new-gen remastered re-releases are, in fact, great."
You get BETTER versions of great games (otherwise they wouldn't bother re-releasing them), often including all content, and often at a (slightly) reduced price.
i really wonder why there is no articles about GTAV too which sold like 100000000000000000000000000 billion on consoles and come out after TLOU last year ?!
i'm so sick of seeing so many articles either praise or bash that TLOU is getting remastered on ps4
let it go already
people who didn't play ..will buy it on ps4 or ps3
people who already played it but want to buy it again.....it's their money
i would too but sadly no ps4 yet
no one is holding a gun to any one head and telling them to buy it or else....
Honestly, single game remakes are pretty lousy, especially at 60$. However, I will be buying TLOU: remastered, and am looking forward to it. I sold my PS3 before TLOU came out, so I am glad to be playing what seems to be such an amazing game for the first time with better graphics, all DLC and better controller.
All that said any SINGLE game remake/remaster does come off as a cash in (especially at 50$ or 60$) definitely in recent cases as most just came out recently. Tomb raider is a better example though (and if the rumors are true, beyond: two souls) of how these remakes are not a good thing.
God of war collection, MGs collection and Halo MCC are great because they culminate multiple games from multiple console generations onto one disc and interface.
Of course, that is just my opinion, obviously others will feel differently. Honestly, as long as people are buying it, they will keep making them, and why shouldn't they?
People simply care too much how other people spend their own money.
Value is in the eye of the purchaser. People call it a cash grab, or it's not worth it. Who is anyone to tell anyone else what is worth a purchase or what they should think a good value is? If people love TLoU or Tomb Raider for that matter, and want to buy it re-mastered, then that is their business. If there was no demand for it they wouldn't remake it, simple as that.
Games are made, remade, because people want them and enjoy them. They aren't forced to want them, they aren't forced to see value in them at any price.
