Remaster of Last generation is BAD. We don’t want them anymore.
Port of Last generation is OK. We want it and Gravity Rush.
Makes sense.

Is there a worse phrase in gaming than "Nobody asked for this?"

Okay fine fine I guess its less that I'm against it on principal and more just don't care about stuff like Horizon or Until Dawn.
Horizon and Until Dawn have their fans though and I shouldn't be whiny about em. Beggars can't be choosers, I think might be how you'd put it.
I dunno though, it'd kinda suck if they messed up the art direction if they took the time to update Bloodborne or Gravity Rush graphically beyond like, a resolution and framerate bump. I guess I shouldn't assume that would happen though. I mean I'm THRILLED at Freedom Wars' upcoming remaster and it doesn't change much and it was a Vita game
EDIT: I'm sorry OP, Muddasar convinced me, even saying "nobody asked for this" in response to remasters is meanspirited and there's always *somebody* who wants it
Until Dawn should have been just a simple Remaster for 10$ upgrade. 4k60fps + dualsense, higher quality texture and a new bonus epilogue teasing the sequel.
It's nice to want things, but the reality is that they moved to a new engine, added scenes, made a bunch of changes, etc, so the "Remake" title is granted.
We might never know why they went with UE5 instead of porting the game as is, I suspect the developer were more accustomed to UE5 and the Decima Engine version used in the original might have been too much work to update/port over, so they picked UE5. Also possible they wanted to use UE5 for the rumored sequel.
My guess is it was greenlighted thinking the visual upgrade will be much bigger with Unreal 5. But honestly even Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster has a better visual upgrade
Not for me. Just stop with the whole Remaster trend. It's flooding the market, its unneccesary and just lazy cashgrabbing.
Not to mention that these so called superior versions are 9 out of 10 times inferior in every way except some AI upscaled graphics.
Most people working on games should absolutely listen to consumers. They don’t possess the vision nor creativity to forge a new path.
OP
OP
You cherry pick a broad strategy? Shirley you're smarter than that.
The thing is that "nobody asked for this" implies that people who create should stick to what those who consume their creation/product should stick to whatever is expected.
This is non sense, I think that this is best summed up by Henry Ford himself: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”
This also goes for creative products, those who stick to the current "winning formula" are bound to create mediocrity in some way (however, from a business stand point they may make pretty good money... so who am I to criticize).
Anyway, there is a balance, but doing stuff nobody asked for is probably the most important thing you can do in your life.
