dannyswfc9 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Is anybody else sick of all these remasters. The ps5s first birthday isnt too far away and i must say im very dissapointed with the lack of ps5 games and im currently playing my ps4 games on tge ps5 I cant remember there being so many remasters during the first year of the ps4. You can dress it up as much as you want and put directers cut or ultimate edition after the title of the game but there still the same game as most of ps4 players have played before. Does sony and other companys care about their customers or are they just in it for the money. On a upside 2022 is looking pretty tasty. Ive got my tin hat on and ready for some stick but just how i feel Edited August 20, 2021 by dannyswfc9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got Quake and there's talk of an upcoming Dead Space Remaster. These are (mostly) good games; I think of it as reading a good book again, except this time I get a nice hard cover instead of the crusty paperback on my shelf. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't own anything that has been remastered yet for the PS5 so when it comes time, I'm glad I'll be able to pick up the PS5 version. When you couple that with the fact that these remasters took no porting and were mostly some code refinement that took barely any time at all, certainly not replacing the time it would take to develop a new game, I appreciate that these are an option and that nobody is out anything for them to happen. Comparing PS4's launch and first 9 months, with an entire codebase change to PS5's launch and first 9 months, a year+ into a global pandemic, would be pretty interesting, but really wouldn't provide anything effective to compare. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) I'm usually pretty neutral on remasters/ports, especially ones of games that weren't released too long ago anyway. I don't care about the majority of remasters on PS5 either, but I do find it a lot more pointless than previous gens when it's backwards compatible with the PS4 anyway. But guess I can't really blame devs and publishers for wanting to make some extra cash making quick and easy ports. The only things that have kinda grinded my gears is Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, and Void Terrarium to a lesser extent. At least the Death Stranding one is a lot more reasonable to upgrade and buy new full price physically. I never really planned to get a PS5 any time soon anyway, still have backlogs dating back to the PS1, so I can safely just skip this gen if I really wanted to and still have plenty of games to keep me occupied till the PS7/8. I'm mostly just waiting till there's enough exclusives out that interest me, and hopefully a revision/slim model with a bigger internal storage size.

Popular Post willmill97 Posted August 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 As long as we get a remaster for Simpsons Hit and Run, GTA4 and Motorstorm trilogy I can happily never see another remaster again 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NkTSharpy Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I think the amount of remastered games is to be expected. Most studios don’t wanna take a risk on a new game and would rather have guaranteed sales from just updating old games. It is not just the gaming industry. Film, tv and gaming studios are very devoid of ideas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TJ_Solo Posted August 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 Quote Is anybody else sick of all these remasters. Do you need a group of people to agree with you and pat you on your back because of a shared opinion? I'm good buying and playing the games(new, used, remasters, remakes,...etc) as I see fit and letting whatever I don't want simply not get bought. I don't require a group therapy session. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavelbagirov Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Right now ps5 is the worst Playstation. But we will see what’s next in 6 years. People bought ps5 just to play fallen order remastered/ demons remastered/ gta5 remastered/ Skyrim remastered/ plague Tale remastered/Stranding remastered and more.

ArabianSwordsman Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Normally I’d be upset too but I’m sure pandemic really halted a lot of development on new games. Games are finally coming out early next year so I’ll cut these devs some slack for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grow up dude. Its a simple thread curious of peoples opinions on a topic. Similar to most others threads on this site. I didnt expect everyone to share the same opinion.

DrunkEngineer Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 It's hard to be upset right now when the state the world has been in lately. I'm just glad more & more stuff keeps getting released; although as a collector, it sure is making it hard to keep up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video games have definatly got me through the last 18 months especially after working all the way through it. I just need a good ps5 game or 2 to get stuck into Edited August 20, 2021 by dannyswfc9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaltezhan Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Right now I got 16 games I can replay on PS5 with a fps boost, 6 of them with another free Platinum, and 3 PS5 only games I wanna buy. Overall, I'm actually pretty satisfied. I don't buy new games every week, so having some "comfort food" I can come back to is ok by me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky0ne16 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 would i be selfish asking for a remaster or remake of resident evil outbreak 1 and 2, never got to play them online or even the Syphon Filter games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obscure_Ale Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I don't really care either way it's not any different to the same gen GOTY, Ultimate Editions etc that publishers always release and the resolution increase and minor graphical tweaks to give it a shinier coat of paint aren't taking much time away from new game development. The way I see it is if it's something I never played on the PS4 I get to play it in better quality and if it's something I enjoyed from last gen I can buy it again when it's in the bargain bin towards the end of the gen and play it again.

Popular Post Dreakon13 Posted August 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) On the one hand, I would like to see more brand new games. On the other hand, the older I get, the less interested I am in teaching myself to like new stuff lol. There are certain kinds of games I like, and the rest I'm somewhere between indifferent towards and genuinely don't like... and no amount of forcing myself to play them will change that. So if these remasters give me an excuse to go back and re-play some games that I KNOW I like with some new content and a fresh coat of paint, versus trying a bunch of new games/genres that I historically haven't cared about very much... I guess I'm okay with that. EDIT: And as others have said... a. It's not unusual for a consoles first year to be a little lacking. b, It's not unusual for games to get GOTY's, Ultimate Editions, Director's Cuts, etc. c. I'm sure the pandemic has played it's part in what has become of 2021's release calendar. Edited August 20, 2021 by Dreakon13 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full on remake (like Resident Evil 1) of the original would be nice too just please no re-imaginings (like Resident Evil 2).

saiyanbloodstyle Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I just find it annoying that we get remasters from 6 months to a year ago (which we can play via BC anyway) but we still haven't got a GTA 4 remaster which is only playable on a PS3, they need to make that game more accessible to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
