HD remakes=milkage due to failure

If a dev has to remake a game from last gen then they are showing a lack of confidence in present ip's.

Seriously,if you have to bring back a game from one generation ago then does that mean the devs are failing?

I think halo anniversary has no chance of being anywhere near as good as the original in the hands of 343 to be honest.

It's more like easy money. >.>

Well, i don't have a PS2 anymore, so i don't mind buying some of my favorite games from last gen again.

Long and short is that it's easy money.

They need to update these remakes a la resident evil remake. With not only better graphics but new gameplay. :)

If this was a perfect world anyways.

I'm sure the Metal Gear Solid games were such a critical and commercial failure that they felt the need to give it an HD remake, because everyone wants HD remakes of terrible games amirite?

Or it could be millions of fans asking for ______ to be the next HD remake.

Also, getting Shadow of the Colosis & Eco together, runing smothly, and only 40$

Its beautiful:cry:

Love you Sony:cry:

Also, aren't most remakes not handled by the original dev?

How is someone else remaking their clas sic game make them Lazy devs this gen:?

HD remakes are the biggest ripoff since charging money for DLC.

mate i'm buying Halo Anniversary Day 1 no matter what. :D

I mean how would you feel if your favourite game of all time was remade with next gen graphics with some new content and COOP over Xbox live?

A lot of good remakes this year, i dont see the problem, guess what, kid could say remake sux and go play CoD.

if they remade some of the greatest ps2 RPG games in HD i'd buy them......if they were a reasonable price.

The Metal Gear Solid series: Total failure.

people dont need an excuse to cash in on old franchises

personally though, I like the idea of HD remakes of last gen games. all the games need are a better framerate, an updated resolution, and maybe some texture polishing and it will make them alot more playable years down the road.

It gives the people a chance to play games they couldn't play last gen, like ICO and SOTC, some of these games are not even available in stores anymore, or hard to find, now you can play them with 30 consistent fps and in HD, if you don't want them simply don't buy them, i'm looking forward to ico/sotc collection and MGS.TheGuardian03

Or they could be, idk, ports. You know, that thing that's been around since roughly forever.

you need to learn whats the difference between hd remakes and hd upgrades

while milked franchises like " AC every year or COD or MW" are not failure becaseu the sell millions. i would take ANY hd remake of a good game of the gaming mess today. 10hours Games for 60 dollars-euros with just good graphics that most people think that matter..

Nothing wrong with remaking a game with improved visuals from time to time, Nintendo did it on the SNES with Mario All Stars and it was a excellent pack of Mario games up to date. It becomes wrong wen developers over do it.

Halo AE is a remake, all other HD remakes are not

I have got all the HD remakes for the PS3. I love them. Nothing wrong with getting 3 good games for less than the price of 1 newer game. If you don't like them.....don't buy them.

I'm actually hyped for the Resident Evil: Code Veronica HD re-release. I haven't played that game in years but it was one of my favorites...

Well it's Sony's plan to keep on selling the Ps2 for $99 and remove the backward compataiblity on the Ps3 and then port Ps2 games for higher resolution.

Um, not seeing the connection here.

I haven't played ICO, have only gotten 33%-40% SotC, and FFX is one of my favorite games of all time. I don't have my PS2 with me, and I want to see these games looking as beautiful as I can in HD. I don't mind paying for it. The only thing is that I wish the standard price was $30 for single games like FFX, but it will probably be $40.

Also, give it a month or two and you'll see these kinds of games on sale for $30 on amazon.

Depends if you played the game or not. Almost all the HD remakes out now I have never played since I never owned a PS2.

I think the HD collectios are awesome tbh. I've played Sly collection, the 1st God of War Collection and now I'm playing the The 2nd God of War Collection (the psp games).And there are other amazing games coming to the HD side like MGS collection and ico/SotC.

So many great games for a very reasonable price in full HD . If you haven't played those games its an great deal.Even If you have theres some appeal to it.For example I did play Gow 1 and 2 on the PS2 but I still enjoyed a lot the 1st GoW collection.The bottom like is no one is forcing you to buy them and it also is easy money for Sony.Its simply a win win.

Jiz.

oh dear....hd remakes show how successfull a game was, its to show appreciation for the fanbase and to give those who havent experienced a game a chance to be able to go out and get the game for a deal, every hd remake which has came out this generation is from a super succesfull franchise

Remakes, rereleases and ports have been happening for years now, going back to the SNES days (probably before). I really don't get the sudden dissent with them this gen.

There is no denying that developers are out to make just a quick buck but what is wrong with buying these games? It's my decision to spend my money however I want and I'll be damned if some kid on the internet is going to tell me what I should and shouldn't be buying.

Also, people are always saying that remakes and ports are a waste of resources and time. Um, devs don't go to their current projects and pull the lead graphics programmer and tell them they are now going to be working on a port and the new game be damned. Most of the times a seperate studio is given the job of porting the game. For instance, Ready at Dawn, a porting studio, were the ones that ported the GoW PSP games to the PS3. Did doing so take time away from releasing GoW4? No, as Ready at Dawn does not work in cojunction with Santa Monica.

Oh well people will continue to bash any new rerelease until their favorite game gets ported and they'll sing a different tune then.

I think making HD remakes is a good idea. Relive some of the good old games just in a way that looks better.

You don't seem to know much about the development process for these games. Remakes typically leveraage the engine from the new versions of the game, whcih means the dev team had to build the NEW game before they built the remake. These games seem "cheaper" (and they are) because they leverage these assets. That's because these games are fundamentally niche. For the most part, they are side projects brought up by developers internally that want to remake one of THEIR favorite games using the new engine they've been working on. That's exactly what happened with Halo (hey, we've got the Reach engine, wouldn't it be cool re redo all of Combat Evolved levels in the Reach engine?) I think it was origially supposed to be a map pack for Reach.

The ICO and Shadow of the Colossus remakes are the exact opposite of a cash-in. These games sold poorly at launch and the remakes aren't going to sell well either. ICO and Shadow of the Colossus were critic darlings and many considered them the very best games released on the PS2. The release was the DEVELOPERS crowing about the great games they made for the PS2 and to please the (very few) fans of ICO and Shadow. These games are the very apex of fan service, like the International releases of Final Fantasy X.

It's more like easy money. >.>

Hey, I'm personally pumped that I'm about to be playing Shadow of the Colossus HD on my PS3 :P
