    This is my fear. It’s already bad enough. AAA has been yeah for years now.

      Nintendo remastered all Super Mario games from the NES only a single generation after their release, on the SNES.

      I wonder if you people kept making a fuss and complaining about people buying the games.

      Turns out yes, taking a good gameplay experience and remastering the graphics is appealing and worth doing. Who knew!

        It’s all they do now. Copy paste Sequels and remasters.

        Turns out some people want new exciting experiences and are such of the repetition. The industry focusing on these means less new stuff in an already barren wasteland of interesting games.

          Game remasters have always existed, at roughly the same pace as we see today.

            Given that NEW games are taking longer and longer to make. Remakes coming out at the same rate as always is a problem.

              There’s an unprecedented number of new games being released every year, significantly more than any other point in gaming history, so you can’t really use “new games are taking longer to release” as a premise.

              And even if you were right, which isn’t the case, I’m fairly certain a game like GTA VI is justified in taking longer to be developed and released compared to some dinky NES game where a character is 14 pixels tall.

                This is where I point out that being able to retain the context of the conversation is helpful. I specified AAA titles. There being thousands of indie games of varying quality out there doesn’t change the fact that AAA games are taking years to release, there’s been a huge amount of publisher consolidation which always leads to studio closures, and them pushing these remakes/remasters is only adding to the staleness facing AAA

                And your entire second paragraph is completely irrelevant to my point.

                  Yes, I’m talking about AAA titles - not Indies.

                  This is where I point out reading comprehension and not assuming your own conclusions summarise somebody else’s argument are helpful.
