      I’m with you most of the time, but at least in this case the games are older and they’re still releasing fantastic new installments in the series. (looking at you gta trilogy or whatever that hzd Remaster is)

        I think the worry is that pushing out so many remasters depletes resources that could be used to make other games.

        Not actually sure if that’s true, tbh. I think remasters are often handled by different companies/studios/teams rather than the teams working on all new projects. Although if Sony is tight on cash, funding both teams at once could prove really difficult.

      They can’t. It’s too sweet of a deal when there is an already existing fanbase ready to give them their money for much less work and risk than building a totally new game.

      Odd take in this context. The last game in this trilogy was released almost 20 years ago—if they’re not gonna remaster this, what are remasters for exactly?

      Making brand new content costs a ton of money, and Sony clearly made colossal missteps in regards to that recently. With this, they’re hoping for what’s essentially free cash
