lmfao make something new ffs

@dirtbasedsoap

rejoice

i dont really get how this will differ from the ps4 version. it already looks incredible on ps5 at 60fps

i think at this point it's safe to say that you should wait 1-3 years after the next one comes out, because then you get a better version

part 1s remaster was a year after launch, part 2s is 3 years.

Jak 4 WHEN

As someone who generally enjoys remasters and remakes, this one seems a bit unnecessary.

There should be a law that remasters / remakes need to wait at least 2 console generations before they can be made. Like Shadow of the Colossus or Demon's Souls.

No surprise there. Called this shit way back when they first remastered the first game for PS4. Fully expect Last of Us 3 by the end of PS5's lifetime and then a remaster of all three early in the PS6's lifetime.

this is fuckin dumb.

but in all honesty even though i hate last of us i'd almost rather it be like this than the way it used to be where games just got forgotten about.

Probably in preparation for a PC release, like the first one's remaster.

Yep.

When are they going to make a remaster of The Last of Us again?

They should remaster Pikmin 4.

I'd rather just see digital storefronts maintained in perpetuity, ideally with emulators for older consoles baked in to new ones (maybe skipping a generation, because emulation does come with sizable overhead system requirements) to allow full backwards compatibility for digital games. Most of the time these days it's the same server and account system being used for multiple generations of console; there's no reason old storefronts can't just be kept up forever. No reason, that is, except to make it easier to sell remakes.

this would be ideal if anyone would ever actually do that, yeah.

i can put the original xbox morrowind disc into my xbox series x and play it

it really is nice, even if it's not really something i'd ever actually do

The only time remakes should be done are if they do qualify of life changes. No story changes either.

I was talking about the PS4 remake, you know, made by the guys who made the Demon's Souls remake, which I also talked about. It's almost like I put them in the same sentence so you knew which one I was talking about.
Although I guess I should amend what I said to remasters after the PS3 era as making games playable on modern TVs without causing vomiting was a commendable effort.

bloober did the remaster on ps3, as well. either way, you said something about a game that wasn't applicable to what you tried to apply it to. you didn't really say only ps4 onwards, especially when you list two games that were actually on consoles before the ps4

idk what the studio really had to do with anything either, i don't really see a correlation

What I'd really like to see is for copyright law to ditch this nonsense about trademarks expiring after a certain amount of time no matter how actively the IP is being used and instead just say "anything that hasn't been available for official sale for more than 5 years (or whatever) becomes public domain." In the year of our lord 2023, there's absolutely no reason every piece of copyrighted art in existence can't be made available for sale. Digital storage costs are negligible (and in many cases already being paid because the owners are keeping a copy), the costs to digitally distribute a copy are more than covered by just about any price they can put on it, and the costs to maintain a digital distribution server are already being paid to distribute contemporary content. As such, if an IP holder isn't selling it, that can be taken as a tacit admission that they don't care about making money from it and it can go to public domain without harming them.

Remakes would fall into a weird territory there, though, where something like RE4make or FFVII Remake are obviously not the same games as the original RE4 or FFVII, but they carry the same name and a lot of the same elements that would make up the IP. But hey, I'm no lawyer. I just think it's stupid that it's illegal to pirate games that nobody has sold in 20 years and that nobody has shown any interest in porting.

When are they remastering Skyrim

Give it a couple of weeks, I'm sure they'll re-release it again by then.

im already saving up for a codmw2 remake since it will be an Xboxcubed exclusive release
