How are they worthwhile when the originals are still playable and are superior?
@VenomUK Oh god I hope not. Buying a $2k computer is much cheaper than buying a house based on country, server location, ISPs, and technology employed in the area, not to mention cost of the internet so that they don't throttle you and the cost of wiring your house with ethernet for every room you want to be able to play in.
Ummm... This is Iwata's legacy. He is the one that put complete focus on making money. His Blue Ocean strategy was literally all about abandoning their fans in favor of an ocean full of untapped income potential.
I can do 2 weeks worth of programming in 8 hrs when I'm focused, but if I take a break during that time, I'm back to 2 weeks. Research always treats us as if we are all the same which can't be further from the truth.
I don't recall LoD having any songs with lyrics. Makes it a bit unlikely, yet at the same time the game doesn't have voice acting so a remake could be a major overhaul and it is high on the list of games that people have requested a remake for. At one point it was requested more than FFVII, or at least according to a magazine back then.

Sony has been subpar with their heating issues since before most of its users have been born. Never trust that they know what they are doing when it comes to heat management.
TLoU was one of the worst games I've ever played in the 32 years I've been playing games. I got tricked into playing it from all the people calling it the best game of all time. I ain't falling for that twice.
@WelkinCole CDs start to go bad within 10 years if it's a bad batch, and becomes a more widespread problem after 20 years. Silent Hill is 22 years old now so you could literally lose it any day now depending on luck.
@Saishi I bet you feel like you have ownership when the PS store closes down. Face it, digital is the death of ownership and I saw this coming the day that that digital downloads were first announced. People even tried telling me they wouldn't shut down servers in our lifetime.
I support boycotting them to show them this is wrong, but if you are desperate, last time I preordered years ago, Best Buy required $0 down for in-store preorders, and possibly Amazon too. Also, GS would still give you your preorder bonus if you went in and preordered the day before the release date.
Phil already addressed this issue and if I remember correctly it was pretty much that announced titles will remain multiplatform but unannounced titles can be either. Did everyone forget this info because it gives you a chance to hate Microsoft again?
Such a boring year that we are now reviving fake leaks from around 4 years ago? Quite sad...
@DJStotty It would seem like this would be the case, but the Supreme Court actually ruled against this. They aren't reproducing technology that took tons of financing to create. They are putting fancy colors on a cover plate. This kind of thing is completely legal and Sony is just using scare tactics, as companies love to do, especially Nintendo.
A return to focusing on story and atmosphere, aka the greatest things about Lord of the Rings? Yes I would say that is something I've been wanting for awhile. Don't think we've had that since PS2 era but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Last one I played was Shadow of Mordor which just made me uninterested in modern "LotR" games that are just taking advantage of the name.
@TallDarknWavy Was this sarcasm or are you just making incorrect assumptions for no reason? I used my DS1 on my PS2 and my Ds2 on my PS3. You needed an adapter for the DS2 controller but it still worked. PS4 was the first Sony console to completely drop previous controllers.
First, just got to get an annoyance out of the way. BC and emulation are not the same thing, and worse off, Xbox One has neither. All of their games are ports. Using a disc to authenticate ownership or owning a digital copy on Xbox 360 does not make it BC or emulation.
Now that I cleared that up, even though it will be ignored, time to discuss the main topic. Licensing is NOT an issue for BC and emulation coming directly from Sony. It only becomes a licensing issue w...
Trademarks get renewed on a normal basis since they are timed. Can we stop using them for speculating remakes and sequels since the two things have nothing to do with each other?
@Hardiman
"Sony allows devs to be as creative and imaginative as they want"
Not true, but I will avoid that topic.
"positives greatly outweigh the negatives it's just common sense"
Right, so why would you want the company to be limited to 1/20th of the library of classic games to be able to remaster? That is the negatives greatly outweighing the positives.
@neutralgamer1992
By what logic? I'm saying ...
Imagine a smaller company like Bluepoint walking into Sega asking to make a Skies of Arcadia remake. Sega being a much bigger company would have more bargaining chips, which means they could pressure Bluepoint into a deal that greatly benefits Sega, while still being reasonable for Bluepoint. In that case, the game is more likely to be greenlit by Sega. On the other hand, if they were to be acquired by Sony, Sony would push for certain things like exclusivity, publishing rights, and maybe ...

How exactly do you get user reviews? From people who didn't play the game? Also, your taste in games perfectly lines up with user reviews? Nothing wrong is caused by pre-ordering and day 1 broken games has patches to thank, not pre-orders.
