Remasters suck.

[Kweeb]

Not only does the community do a better job at "remastering" the game,
but the devs take the originals off the store for no reason...

[Fumo Bnnuy n Frends]

Yeah then no one would buy them duh


It's why i hate Nintendo. Imo at least Todd Howard has the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ decency to release it with some minor improvements no matter how big or small.


Blizzard just nuked warcraft 3 reforged.



You see the thing with remasters is gamers want improved graphics and mechaincs or smoother fps. What Devs or publishers or whatever businessmen are at the top hear is:

"oh same game on a different console"
or
"oh old game with all the new ♥♥♥♥ that we keep adding to make money by milking our fanbase that all our fans hate"


See gamers don't have a stake in the claim. THEY DO IT FOR FREE!!!!
For the love of the game. Devs publishers etc. all do it for a paycheck. They could give honestly less of a ♥♥♥♥ if the game comes out great or not. So long as they get paid or make money they don't care.

Thought the Resident Evil Remasters were fantastic, albeit re3 being an abortion

Those were remakes. Remakes and remasters aren't the same thing.

Remake generally are attempts at making things better, remasters aren't 90% of the time, just re-releases.

I like the Quake remaster, as well as the Command & Conquer remaster.

Heck, I'd even love the Street Fighter II HD Remix on Steam.

Those are remakes though, they have fully new graphics and gameplay.

What originals may that be?

Because if we're talking about Skyrim then yah... the original is still there. Of course... you'd be a fool to buy it because the remaster ("SSE") comes with all the DLC at a lower price in total.

I don't mind game remasters tbh, it's movie or series remasters which I loathe. Yes, Netflix, looking at you: thank you for trying to ruin my Master o/t Universe childhood (which fortunately you failed at because I stopped looking after 2 episodes (even my gf thought it was rubbish) and went back to my DVD boxes).

Errrrr, where were we? ;)

Oh, remasters... I noticed the Final Fantasy franchise is also doing this but... there are still originals (which I went for, I pretty much got the complete series save the online & subscription garbage (= personal opinion on that matter; I also loathe "rent to game" stuff)).

[Crystal Sharrd]

It depends on the game and developer. Square Enix did a great job with the remaster of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.

I despise that this is the standard for remasters.

and it shouldn't be as you're forced to buy a more expensive and often inferior version

I am just glad I bought the GTA Trilogy before it was de-listed...

I don't understand the point of de-listing the originals though. It screws over the people that want game on game go ($150 laptop or something)


I play on my desktop, but still...

GTA San Andreas on Steam is well known for having major issues.

Pray tell how a new remastered working as intended edition is a negative dot point?

[< Masterless >]

They do usually suck and give little incentive to burning my money on it; however, there are a few unoccasional exceptions: https://store.steampowered.com/app/813780/Age_of_Empires_II_Definitive_Edition/

Diablo 2 Resurrected is quite a good game. Some censor here. Characters have been changed. The servers are down a lot and now there's qeues... But the gameplay is topnotich. Well yeah. Old school Diablo 2 LoD with Plugy + Basemod is better, tho... But too bad VV got bought by Acti-Blizz and now facing nasty stuff
