>>740784553normalfags are cattle who can only play video games if they're "current", ie. the subject of conversation, and the goal of playing the game isn't to enjoy oneself, but rather to "join the conversation". hence, a game cannot simply be ported to be playable on newer consoles, it has to be made "new" so that there's "discourse" to join
>>740784968You're forgetting that they can also remake the remakes king
>>740784553Critical acclaim and popularity.
Kids are stupid.
Creative bankruptcy, mega corps trying to play it safe and retards buying upscaled textures for full price.
>>740784553gaming kind of peaked in the PS2 era, creative works were being made in a frontier of new technology, people who enjoy playing good games would enjoy playing these, so they make them prettier and rerelease them for a new generation, diehard fans make the mistake of thinking these remakes are made for fans of the original, when in reality they rarely are, the persona 4 remake isn't being made for people pushing 40 with white hairs, its for the newer fans of stuff like Royal and 3 Reload who are eagerly awaiting persona 6
>>740784553No talent left in the games industry
the lowest common denominator continues to fall and continues to be targeted
>>740785271>>740784968They can remaster the remaster of the remaster too
>>740784553Remakes are outselling everything
what happens when they run out of games to remake
>>740786079Remake the remake.
>>740786079sell a qol patch for the remake for 70 bucks
>>7407845533D gaming peaked during 2000s, roughly matching the PS2 period.
millennials are still obsessed with their childhood toys just look at shit like "adult" legos
>>740784553Box art hasn't been cool for years, remake or not.
>>740784553Risk aversion due to ballooning cost of game development.
In the cases of Fatal Frame 2 and OoT it already happened once before.I bet Resident Evil Re-Remake is an inevitability
>>740784553Game development is way too expensive now, publishers want safe returns now more than ever. That's why virtually every AAA game is a remake, remaster or sequel. Only studios with extreme renown like ND can make new stuff, and that's probably never gonna happen again after Intergalatic bombs because their heads are way too far up their own asses.
