Two of the biggest games of this year are remakes. Dead Space and Resident Evil 4. Now don’t get me wrong, they’re both very good games but so were the originals.
So the question is…
Do we really need remakes & remasters or should publishers and developers spend the money, time and resources on new games and should more effort be put into backwards compatibility to enable people to play the original games on modern hardware?
Remakes bringing the game to a new audience is a good thing however if the old games were easily accessible on new consoles I wonder if that would be necessary.
For me all playing through RE4 Remake did was make me want to play though the original.
