Nobody is complaining about Freedom Wars getting a remaster next year because it is stuck on Vita.
you're right but also no one would complain anyways because the only person on this forum that cares about this game is me
not even sony cares about it they licensed it out and bamco is publishing the remaster

Sony IS creatively bankrupt and there's no double standard. If and when Nintendo will remaster Switch games that are already perfectly playable on Switch 2 with backward compatibility then you can complain.

Are you guys all regarded? Do you not understand why remasters have become so prevalent? They have built in fanbases and guaranteed sales.

Original IP is a risky coin flip that sometimes works out (like HZD), and sometimes fails miserably to the point of bankrupting your studio (Concord)

Both games basically came out at the same time and the conversation couldn't be more different. Gigantic double standard. Nintendo released so many remasters in the last year with zero backlash and now another one for 2025 and it's a mega celebration everywhere 🤡
Horizon came out at the same time as BotW so 2017 and XBX Wii U era and contained MMO-lite features that are no longer accessible as of last year due to Wii U online services ceasing. If you put your Horizon disk into a PS5 it runs fine, if you put your XBX disc into your Switch then your Switch is absolutely fucked. The two couldn't be anymore different and you are being either disingenuous or deluded if you can't see why.

Xenoblade came out in December 2015 and Horizon in February 2017. That's 1 year and 2 months. Wow what a huge difference, it's worth full price for sure 🤡

Where is the $10 upgrade for Xenoblade?

Also, not only do you need a Wii U to play X, partially, since the online is now down, copies of the game sell for 35 dollars in the US. Horizon can be played as is on your PS5 and costs less than a sandwich. Thats why nobody gives a fuck about its port.

Bruh that is a lomger time period between Ghost of Tshushima PS4 and Ghost of Tsushima Director's cut on PS5.
Also a longer time gap between The Last of Us PS3 and The Last of Us Remastered PS4.
Also remember Xenoblade Chronicles X launched first in April of 2015 in Japan and took longer than expected to get localized in North America and Europe because Monolith Soft isnt that big of a team anf back in the Wii U days Nintendo went pretty hard on cencorship when localizing like Sony does now.

Can I put discs in a Switch, dummy?
Ok so no upgrade path and incompatible proprietary format is the better move for customers?

Sony is taking notes for next-gen

Sony and Microsoft were the ones to set this trend so they don't need notes for this.
PS4 used Blu Ray like PS3 yet when you put your Last of Us PS3 disc in your PS4 nothing happens.
At least eventually Microsoft gave Xbox one some Backwards compatibility with 360 discs.

people were complaining about remasters and remakes of ps4 games they could already play not complaining about backwards compatibility
comparing wii u -> Switch releases to PS4 -> PS5 releases doesn't make sense and i don't know how you're struggling with this

He's being deliberately dumb, its the only way he could spin the two as being comparable.

It's because he's extremely emotionally invested in PlayStation to the point where it has become his identity.

Cultish behavior.

The double standard is obvious, while Sony is criticized for remakes like The Last of Us Part 1 and Demons Souls, which require substantial work and resources, Nintendo seems to receive little criticism from the market for low-quality full-price ports.

One could also put it this way. While Sony are judged by the standards of the Olympic Games, Nintendo is only judged by the standards of the Paralympic Games. Of course, this is a deliberately exaggerated comparison, but it still illustrates the situation.

and now Xeno X finally.

This list does not include the numerous DS/3DS/remake titles. People gloss over that BotW was a cross-gen launch as well. Switch's best selling game is literally Wii U's Mario Kart title. Let's not be hypocritical and have double standards.

Project Zero should be crossed off as well. Its Fatal Frame 5, which is on Switch, PS4, and PC now

A remake/remaster of StarFox Zero without the goofy gyro controls would be fun
