The Importance of Remaking, Remastering, and Collecting

"It seems that with every round of upcoming video game announcements, at least one remake, remaster, or HD collection of games past makes the list. Almost immediately, the internet catches fire with gamers’ disapproval. The comment section of such news stories tend to be littered with remarks like the developer should not waste resources on something old and who in the right mind would pay for this? And if this is your take on the matter, by all means, such comments apply to you. Even so, there is obviously a market for classic games coming to modern consoles; if not, why would companies keep churning them out? What is it that perpetuates this re-cycle of gaming? Here is a look at why remakes of older games are an important, and somewhat necessary, aspect of the current gaming-sphere."-- PlayStation Enthusiast

Idk why any rationale minded gamer would express disapproval when a collection or remaster gets announced. If you're not fond of rereleases, then that's fine. However many other people didn't play these games the first time around while others like to replay classic titles on modern platforms.

Nobody literally loses from any situation, so complaining is just pointless.

TWB3381d ago

Remasters of classics or games that would greatly benefit from a little face lift are not looked down upon from what I have seen.

Most complain because some of the games are not classics and are more like rushed ports of more recent games on the new consoles.

BC is more important, don't want to rebuy my games collection.

Why The Mass Effect Series Is Still The Best Western RPG Trilogy

The Mass Effect trilogy shines as one of the only Western RPGs to give an immersive and unforgettable experience.

Your Opinion is wrong. (Witcher ftw)

Sonic1881394d ago (Edited 394d ago )

The Witcher trilogy is my favorite but I know everything is subjective.

thorstein394d ago

Balder's Gate trilogy is the best.

shinoff2183393d ago

There's much better wrpg series. Mass effect dumbed down after the first one. Seemed a but different going from the 1st to the second, not in a good way.

Knightofelemia393d ago (Edited 393d ago )

My favorite trilogy will be the Ar Tonelico trilogy, Xenosaga trilogy followed by the ME trilogy.

Nittdarko393d ago

How can it be the best trilogy when the 3rd one is terrible and the only thing it had going for it was the multiplayer?
Considering all 3 witcher games are better
Considering all 3 Dragon age games are better
Considering all 3 Baldur's gate games are better

Weird choice

ChasterMies393d ago

Witcher 1 looks like ass. Until we see a transfer, there is no getting around it.

Are Dragon Age games and Baldur’s Gate games a continuation of the same story or at least the same character? Even still, need some connection to make a trilogy. Lord of the Rings is a trilogy. Star Wars is a trilogy. James Bond 1-3 is not a trilogy. It’s just more movies with James Bond.

Origins was good. Really good. DAII was absolute shite, and Inquisition wasn't much better.

I like the Ezio trilogy and the ME trilogy but I also love the Xenosaga trilogy and Ar Tonelico trilogy.

darthv72496d ago

My personal favorites would be the GoW trilogy (both Gears & God), the original halo trilogy, Streets of Rage trilogy, Super Star Wars trilogy, Metroid Prime trilogy

Rebel_Scum496d ago

hmm SoR as a trilogy is not that good. 1 & 2 were great but 3 was the drizzling shits.

jznrpg496d ago (Edited 496d ago )

Xenosaga! I’d say games like Suikoden or Ys but they went beyond three games.

Puty496d ago

Resident Evil og trilogy, Silent Hill ...

Charlieboy333496d ago

How can you make a list like this and not have Uncharted?

AlphaKennyTime496d ago (Edited 496d ago )

I want to say it's because it has more than 3 games by the same dev team, but they included GTA so I don't know. You make a fair point.
