Post-post warning: My typings a bit shit due to a cold, and the escapist seems to like lagging out when I type stuff on it, so half the time I'm missing letters or whole words...
OK, I'm no just saying this because it's DMC, in fact I loved the early games, but if I wanted to play some cherished ol game, I'd play them!
I can understand that some late-comers to the franchises might not be so enthusiastic about backtracking to the days of yore(to which I ask, WHY?), when HD didn't really mean much to anybody
But when it seems to be common ground for businesses to rehash old stuff some HD gloss I have wonder where this is going...
I mean, if it was HD remakes (read: not remasters)then yeah, you'd have something worth lookin into, but just making shit shinier with a higher definition isn't something I'm personally looking to spend full retail price on, even if it is a bundle deal.
I know there are people who want this, as is evident by just about every post before mine, but ask yourselves, if you take the hook now, what's to stop companies from pulling this shit all the time?
Can't think of a new IP? Just remaster some old gems, the fans'll fucking hoover it up like pidgeons on bread-crumbs...
Or like Capcom, Fans react badly to a re-do of a favourite ld IP? Remaster the old stuff they did like, that'll distract them!
(Y'know when you're not busy re-releasing Street Fighter every couple of years)
I have no doubt that sometimes theses kinds of things are worth and some people legitimately have reasons for buying into it, but as for me, I'm just wondering when the hell it's likely to end, because if it doesn't soon, this might be the standard in a few years...
Scary shit.
