Remasters and Ports - A Good Thing?

[wolff242]

Agree with most here, I enjoy remasters, but lazt  ports are broken remasters are another story. One of the GTA games (PS3 I believe) was a port of the mobile version as well, and it was terrible to try and play (But the 260 version was a por of the console version, which is weird)

I usually don't mind Remasters or Ports because it is usually a game or game series that was popular and/or sold well in the past.  I don't see anyone
clamoring to get a Remaster of Shaq Fu, Superman 64 or Duke Nukem Forever.

That's a new game in the series, though, not a remake.

Oh. I thought it was a remake. I just remember the announcement, I never played it.

I don't mind them especially really good games I enjoyed a lot. Allen Wake for instance now a new generation can experience it and I can enjoy it all over again.

Well, most of my PS4 collection is constituted of remakes, remasters and ports, so I'd say YES. They are a very good thing for me.
I still have both my PS2 and PS3 hooked up to a huge CRT and a nice LED TV respectively, but nowadays, due to the overall comfort and ease of use the PS4 offers, I prefer play Crash Bandicoot 3, Shadow of the Colossus or Uncharted 2 on it than on any of those other older consoles...
