Really, I'd just like to play and own Last of Us Part 2 on Steam...
The upcoming remaster will definitely come to PC, but we're still waiting for the Steam page.
A remaster of a modern game probably just involves creating (or even just generating) some higher res art assets and some minor new features (like support for adaptive triggers). It’s not like they’re shutting down production of a Parappa the Rappa game for this.
Do we ever need any remaster? Most are entirely unnecessary. Bloodborne though...
Nope. But Sony, please, Bloodborne 60fps
Well I haven’t played those games and I probably would if they remaster them. I didn’t have a PS4 so I’m kinda the target audience.
Keep in mind that a remaster is not comparable to creating a new game or even a remake like RE4. This is low-effort and high-yield, so expect to see more of it.
I see this all the time on Lenny but it’s so pervasive it’s annoying now (“this” meaning people whining about things they’re not the target of). You’re 100% right. These are easier ways for studios to make back money via a newer target audience. They’re not meant for people who have already played the games. Not every product is for everyone and companies will definitely try to squeeze every dollar out of work already done that they can.
Nope. They're not even that old. I haven't even gotten to playing TLOU2 yet and it feels like that just came out last year to me.
Why not make a new IP instead of remakes? I think mostly because it is easier to do a remake and doesn't cost as much.
These are remasters. It's not anything like the effort of making a new game, you can do both.
No, we don't. Where the fuck is Drakenguard, Destroy All Monsters, Monster Rancher, A New Spyro IP, Gauntlet?
I know these are all different studios (excep Spyro). But there are countless great IPs left in the dust right now.
There's been SOME activity in MR in the last couple years...
MR1&2DX is a remaster of the first 2 games with some QoL improvements, on Switch, Steam, iOS, released in 2021
Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher is a crossover, though only on Switch, released in 2022
LINE:Monster Farm is a JP only mobile gacha game released in 2023, but some folks hope it will come to the west... it has some amazing artwork.
There's also hope for MR3&4 "DX" release but those weren't very financially successful originally, so it's probably unlikely they'll be rereleased, but everyone's huffin' that hopium.
