Excellent video, I completely agree with you! I could understand players asking for certain older games that aren't easily available to be ported for current systems, like Blood Will Tell which has become an expensive PS2 game, but since this current generation is backwards compatible there is no logical reason for this demand. For instance, The Last of Us was ported to the PS4 because PS3 games were not compatible with the PS4, however it's absolutely ridiculous how The Last of Us Part II is getting a PS5 release, when the PS4 version is perfectly playable on PS5 and readily available for much less. Uncharted 4 on PS5 is actually inferior to the PS4 original version since it's missing the online portion of the game that's so much fun. The same can be said about the inferior port of Red Dead Redemption for the PS4 and Switch that are also missing the online component from the Xbox 360/PS3 original. Other pointless examples of remakes/remasters are Alan Wake, Dead Space, and all the BioShock games since the superior and original Xbox 360 versions are already playable on Series X. You mentioned that many gamers are obsessed with graphics, so that shows how superficial they are and how they spend more time looking at games than actually playing them to completion. Do they not realize that gameplay (the single most important element in a video game) has been practically the same since the 7th generation of consoles with very little innovation if any? I blame the uneducated video game consumer more than the developers; they're the main reason why companies keep re-releasing the same games over and over again and why the video game industry has been stagnant for so long.
but this is almost the only game thats mentionable for this discussion. its not that extreme when its literally only naughtydog thinking last of us need a remake already so i dont feel the point of the discussion.
I think remakes are good if the original game was limited by hardware constraints, the black ops 2 map tranzit was intentionally made with lava and fog everywhere because the consoles at the time could not load everything in fast enough. So if a remake lives up to the original concept then i am all for it
For me personally I like Remakes/Remasters, of course there are outliers of game that REALLY don’t need a remake or remaster, but most of the time I think they’re good because they give more people a chance to experience them. You tell people to play old game but that’s just kinda ignorant to the fact not everyone has every generation of console or can afford to buy whatever old game they want due to the prices being jacked up. In my experience, people always ask for remasters for games that are stuck on Old Consoles like the PS3, and/or seriously need a Performance boost. Some examples for me are Sonic Unleashed and Batman Arkham Origins, both are great games but they’re trapped on the PS3 and run like Crap. You can play both on Xbox via backwards compatibility but again, not everyone has one, so a remaster for all modern platforms would be great. When it comes to remakes I always see people talk about games from the Late 90s/Early 2000s that are in desperate need of an Upgrade. Games like Sonic Adventure which hasn’t been ported since 2011 and even then needed a major upgrade to both its graphics and mechanics. I guess, just avoid the obvious cash grabs but don’t be mad at people for buying/asking for what they like.
People are free to spend their money however they like, and I am free to tell them how silly they are for doing so and how they are being ripped off by corporate lol.
Exactly. OP apparently views every remake as a "cash-grab"-remake, ignores valid points for good remakes and also asumes that everyone has easy acces to all previous games regardless of system.
Awesome video! I think Retro Gaming is the way to go too! Gaming nowadays is just not as good as it used to be and that ain't nostalgia talking. DLC, battle passes, always-online games.... it's ridiculous...
remakes and re masters are actully really important mgs 4 has been stuck to the ps3 since 2008 game remakes the only reason i touched resident evil 4 was for the remake becasue the shooting and camera in the og was unplayable for me also a lot og older games have very outdated humor and takes poltically so a remake or remaster can help them fit modern standers
thats not a counter argument my point was that remakes can help bring games that would orginally be forgotten due to them being locked to a older generation that was my point with mgs4 but your cleary a smooth brain so im think that went past you@@nordicwarriorgaming4953
i own 5 bud and its more convinient to have them on the consoles with up to date tech and games on the ps3 can barley hit 30 frames @@ThePorkchopExpress975
I'm actually glad From Software released a remaster for Dark Souls 1. For some reason the older original version runs like trash on my PC, not even hitting 30 fps, while the remaster runs smoothly with 60+ fps.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 WTF ?! You must be joking, right ? It's absolutely not possible to play a game like Dark Souls efficiently with 20 and less frames per second. I dare you to try and beat the hardest bosses with a framerate like that.
@@SH_Hof If the game is dropping below 20 fps then that is a hardware issue, very common problem with PC gaming and one of the main reasons I personally play games on consoles. My point is that whether a game plays in 30 or 60 fps is virtually inconsequential. Some games are designed with lower frame rate in mind and they run and play perfectly.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 Depends on the game, but yeah, 30fps is definitely playable for the most part. Especially when it's a smooth 30fps without dips. Everything below, with visible stutter, isn't enjoyable though. It's very much possible that the original Dark Souls is badly optimized for some hardware setups. In my case it was a good thing that they released the remaster, because that runs beautifully on my hardware, as i said.
Wow, I cannot believe someone just said frame rates don’t matter. Obviously, they’re a console kiddy, but it’s still surprising. Most console kiddies, now that they’ve experienced 60fps, understand there’s a difference. They still don’t know how big of a difference there is, as many of them have never experienced more than 60fps, let alone more than 120fps on a monitor that can show every frame and quickly. Even if you had some mental disorder that prevented you from seeing the frames, many games have physics tied to the frames, and that means they objectively make a difference. It can be almost a completely different game. The amount of ignorance required to say that frame rates don’t matter…
I’m glad there’s people like you who call out this bs. I wish other UA-camrs spoke about this. I am so sick and tired of people begging for remakes of games that are just fine the way they are. Now there are actually 2 games that I think could use a remake but I’m not gonna beg for them to happen like everyone else does. As for remasters I don’t mind them if it’s for games that are still stuck on old gen consoles.
Something that bothers me the most about remakes is how often do the people who made the original take part in remaking the game? almost every remake the creative spark is completely gone and they add hd graphics and it just feels so divorced from art and creativity. I wish they'd just make cool new games. How many game developers want to work on these remakes for games they were never involved in creating?
Bla bla bla.....Remakes are NOT pointless. There are many games that I would love to see remade. Dragon Age Origins, Witcher 1 (which is being done Woo-Hoo!), Beyond Good & Evil, and many many more! A lot of these older games were made with the technological limitations of their day. Most of these games had a vision that far exceeds what was eventually released. This creates the perfect opportunity for REMAKES. Why you have a problem with this, is beyond understanding. If you personally don't like Remakes, just don't buy them!
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953WE ARE NOT CONSUME BUT DAY WITH PS1 TECHNOLOGY IS OVER AND WE YEAR 2024 SO MORE POSSIBILITIES WITH TECHNOLOGIE FOR GAMING AND CHANCE FOR THE VERY OLD GAME BUT VERY GOOD GSME TO SHINE IN NEW AGAIN.

I'm not sure how they never got a chance to play them. Old games and consoles can be bought these days for an absolute pittance. Literally every cash exchange store sells them.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 but most the games I want to play you gotta buy 2 to 3 different consoles why do that when you can wait for the remaster or remake
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 like the silent hill games I can’t find those on the PlayStation store and there not on the Xbox store but can be found on. Pc that’s a lot of hoops just for a game and remakes expand upon the orginal and some ways Make it better
Man I'm not buying a whole ass console just to play a couple of games, especially if there is indeed a way to play them on my primary machines. Anything from a system that is prior to the age of HD gaming is going to look like garbage on my TV to begin with Remakes and remasters do indeed allow a new audience The opportunity to play games that they may not have otherwise. Some of them are cheap lazy cash grabs. Some of them have a lot of work put into them and genuinely enhance the original experience or downright improve it
I feel like this is ignoring one of the big reasons for a remake, that being accessibility. Most of these games that got remakes were made for older consoles that people don't have access to, and not a single one of them is backwards compatible across all platforms (Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo). Graphics usually play very little part in people suggesting for a remake, it's pretty much always about accessibility to the game itself (it's not about "this game should get remade to make it look better", it's about "this game should be remade for newer consoles") Out of all of the games you list here, the only one that doesn't really work for what you described was Skyrim's Anniversary Edition. I believe it was intended as an Xbox Series/PS5 release, but I don't believe it had any enhancements and the Special Edition was already playable on those regardless. In the case of everything else, it brought a game to a platform that otherwise wouldn't have been able to play it, and not all of these games are easy to find secondhand even if you have the console to play them on. Red Dead Redemption has never been on a Nintendo console, Last of Us was never on PC, Skyrim wasn't on Xbox One, PS4, or Switch, same goes for GTA V, Windwaker was only on GameCube, Skyward Sword was only on Wii, the original GTA Trilogy wasn't playable on PS4 or PS5, and even in a lot of cases newer hardware with newer drivers can make support for older games more difficult on PC I'm not going to say there's no merit to what you're saying, companies absolutely need to try harder to make games more polished (although we did just come out of one of the greatest years of gaming we've had in a while so some people might disagree), but I feel like this is missing a lot of points. Hell, we just came out of a pandemic, games currently in development were mostly made with a whole 2 and a half years of improper communication and remote development. There are so many factors that would affect the game development apart from solely greed
I believe I actually addressed this in the video. Sure if a game is inaccessible for modern players, like some obscure PC game from the early 90s or a side scroller that never saw a wide release on consoles, then yes by all means remaster or remake it. However that's not the issue here. The issue is that games that are already HD, already widely accessible and are in now way obscure or hard to find are being remade and rereleased all the time. Its becoming an industry standard. You said that many of these games are inaccessible? That is simply untrue. Buying a remake on modern systems will set you back about 70$ (and that's being conservative) You can literally buy a PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and a WII with a handful of second hand games, all together for less than that if you know where to look. There are cash exchange store everywhere these days, not to mention Ebay and Amazon. 6th and 7th generation games and consoles are cheap as chips and in no way hard to find. Plus you won't be funding the modern gaming industry and supporting shady business practices. You will instead be helping to keep the physical media / retro gaming market alive, actually contributing to the culture in a good way rather than just being a blind consumer. I strongly disagree but its all just my opinion of course. God Bless.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 "If you know where to look" is not a good argument for accessibility. The whole point of accessibility is that anyone can get into it If you're looking locally, you have to just kind of hope to find all of these systems and the games that you actually want to play, and hope they're priced affordably because everyone prices used stuff differently. If you're not near any, then they're not accessible If you're shopping online, then you need to pay for both the item and the shipping in most cases, plus the seller could slightly oversell what they're offering and you'd be none the wiser (remember, older systems also have more moving parts than newer ones, which if they fail then the system could just stop working or stop reading discs altogether). If you live somewhere remote (for example I live in Canada and several things on eBayhave a shipping price of $20), then that becomes less accessible Newer systems with official support are sold everywhere, and newer games are offered officially on a digital storefront so you don't even need to get up and leave to look for them. If you want to go deeper, you can even find keys for these games secondhand for less money than the games themselves are worth. Either way, it's much more accessible I'm all for buying games secondhand, I personally like to buy older games for the purpose of ripping them to emulate them, but no, it is absolutely not *nearly* as accessible. If I didn't come across a copy of Skyward Sword for Wii at my local reseller, I absolutely would've just bought the Switch remake, and even then the price of the game plus the Motion Plus accessory required to play it totalled the price of the remake. A big part of accessibility is convenience
Another problem is that people don’t know the difference between a remake and a remaster. Remasters are almost entirely about the graphics, and they use the same engine. Remakes utilize a new engine, drastically changing what’s possible in the game. Reboots are a new view on what the intellectual property should be. Ports make the game work on different platforms.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 , yet, you talk about remastering games from the 90s and call remasters “remakes.” Hmm, pretending to be something you are not…
You hit the nail on the head I am totally with you and feel the same way about the armada of "remake demanding zombies" on the net. Let those pieces of art be what they are, and enjoy them as what they are. Many possibilities to play classics for free nowadays in hd glory using emulators, but have completely original graphics that still have their artistic intend behind them, not just looking like photoreal empty shells of what those games formerly where trying to creatively achieve: evoke emotions under the restrictions of their time.
Thanks. I have never for the life of me been able to understand why you would want a remake if you already own the game. It goes to show that its the graphics they are all about and not the games themselves.
The gaming industry has been on a steady decline since about the mid 2010s. It's going the same way as the movie industry was/is, remakes, remasters and reimaginings ad nauseam. Like I understand picking up a remake or port of a childhood classic, but with emulators nowadays you don't have an excuse. The last thing of the sort I got was the Spyro Reignited Trilogy (regrettably) just so I could more easily play it with my family (I don't have the old hardware anymore). But for personal enjoyment, nah. I was gifted Starfield and, Bethesda really lost their touch with Fallout 4. Starfield is Fallout 4 but grindier and emptier. Completely incongruous aesthetics, and lame story, but I repeat myself. There were little glimmers that has me huffing copium for TES6. But overall? A shame. There is two issues the shills and and the incompetent devs. Devs make shovelware slop, and Consoomers slurp it up. Tragic to witness.
I knew this 3 years ago, with every GTA release since Red Dead Redemption 2. I remember talking to acquaintances (and they agreed), how repackaging video games is money. Hollywood did the same thing. It took YEARS for consumers to catch on. Streaming services are a new version of cable television. Etc.
This video is kind of nonsense. Starting with your complaint about starfield I'm not going to sit here and say it's a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination it has a significant amount of faults but you've never played it you can't have an informed opinion when you haven't played the thing your friends playing it doesn't count it's hard to take you seriously when you aren't informed about the thing you're talking about. Sure there are some remasters that are unnecessary but many of them aren't. For instance PS4 wasn't backwards compatible with PS3 games and so re-releasing some of those makes sense because they're not backwards compatible. Yeah sure you get a couple Skyrim anniversary editions or last of Us part 1 being re-released at least that was put on PC on a place that never was before which makes it worth it. We also have games like resident evil 2 remake resident evil 4 remake Dead space remake that are all incredibly well done add a lot to existing game improves upon them and makes in most cases a superior version to be the definitive way to play that story. There's nothing wrong with remakes or remasters there are way more examples of it working out very well for the consumer then it being a cheap cash grab. You complained about Red Dead being released I was excited to be able to play that on the go and buy it on my switch. But it wasn't released on Xbox that way because it's backwards compatible already it was only released on PS4 and switch where the game wasn't available. There's a massive issue online with a bunch of people forming uninformed opinions and spreading negativity without having proper knowledge to back up that negativity. Starfield didn't win game of the year it didn't get nominated for game of the year the games that did like Baldur's gate 3 or Alan Wake 2 push the medium forward. There's a lot of problems going on to this industry right now you can argue live service elements being predatory you can go on a long grant about how the gaming industry is financially booming almost better than any other industry yet they are a massive layoffs across the board. You can talk about how the development cycle for new games is just too long and can lead to it being unsustainable. But releasing a remaster of something that isn't available on the system that they have or a remake for an older game that had a lot of wonderful things about it but could seriously see some modern improvements there's nothing wrong with it I would love to see a kotor remake that game has a wonderful story but it's gameplay is ancient. Resident evil 4 remake is considered one of the best of the year and it's not because ooh pretty graphics It's because it enhances it's original concept it makes the game more impactful the acting is better the gameplay is better it is more frightening and practically improves on the original source in almost every way. Remakes can be a good thing I don't want lazy ones but most of them aren't.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 that's fine you don't have to play it but it's hard to take any criticism you have of it seriously if you not consumed the art you are critiquing.

Baldur's gate 3 says yes to you with everything you want to do that's what makes it so incredible you can do almost anything if there is a problem almost any solution you think of will likely work that's why it's special. But forming such a strong opinion based on others opinions or just looking at things is the kind of thing sheeple do and that seems like the kind of thing you're trying to argue against. That sounds more hypocritical then just playing a game and forming your own opinion especially a game like starfield which is available at no extra cost for anyone that has game pass and if you have an Xbox or a PC you can have access to that. It's perfectly fine to play something and not like it but at least you consumed the media and you can properly critique it the same way that I didn't immediately click off of your video when I felt like your argument was in bad faith. I Finished your video so I can properly give my honest opinion feedback or criticism. We don't have to agree on things but forming such strong opinions on so little information is a big problem in today's culture. I haven't seen the human centipede part 2 or 3 I have seen the first and I can assume I will not likely enjoy it but I'm not going to make a video critiquing those films if I've not seen them to actually form an opinion. That would be disingenuous of me and the people that make the art deserve honest feedback criticism or praise based on what they've done.
I never understand why people always ask for games that they already like to get remade or remastered. If the game is already good, why would you want a remaster? The only times I want a remake is when the game has either aged really badly or when it it’s only available on really old platforms that I do not own. But man, it always really hurts my brain when I see people say: ‘This game is so good, it needs a remaster’.
Yeah the question I would always ask them is "if you need it to be remastered to enjoy it, then are you really a fan of the game?" It seems to me that if you like a game then it will be fine with you the way it is.
It seems that many of the people who disliked this video did so before actually seeing the whole thing. He's not saying that ALL remakes are bad or pointless, mostly the ones that are remastered gen-on-gen, whereas remaking retro, especially out-of-print games, is generally fine. Graphical remasters, however, are often times just soulless cash grabs.
Well it depends on the game but some can be really good. I reccomend the Nightdive studios remasters like Quake 1+2 and Shadowman. They actually added a lot of new content. For games that are not that old I would agree with you that they often don't need a remake/remaster.
Being honest, I don’t think I’ve heard any mainstream critics just saying “The graphics are amazing 10/10 game” and not talking about anything else. Even IGN has a Pros and Cons section at the end of each review
Yeah, but critics will knock it if the graphics aren't up to their expectations... "This feels more like a re-skin of [insert previous title] rather than a new installment, so I don't think it's worth full price" -- that mentality is totally in line with how AAA studios want us gamers to think about our purchase
Remakes of Movies, games or any type of media that's great makes absolutely no sense at all. I don't really game anymore because my console is suffering Troubleshoot issues I hope it gets fixed soon.
I want to say that you should buy some remakes... Rather remasters. The people quake 1 and remasters... that was done right. 10 dollqrs plus a new set of maps for the game. Those are the kind of remasters we should be supporting. Getting old classics up to standard. It's not a remake. It's simply just taking the source code and making it run nice and a little tweak for our systems.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 so like most people sell the ps4 /ps3 to buy the new console to save money which is the smart decision most people are not hanging on to ancient hardware to play old games that’s why we have re masters and re makes maybe think about other people other than yourself
What bugs me about remaking RDR1 is that the obsession with graphics is so extreme… most people don’t realise that it’s a damn regression in every other way. Many people have been saying RDR1 is much better as a game than RDR2 which is an interactive movie. Alas the majority don’t consider those factors, they want the graphics. Fortunately I already knew it would never be remade in a million years. Good on you regarding Starfield. I played it, it is exactly as bad as you’ve presumed.
Thanks bro. I've honestly gotten to the point where I just expect mediocrity at best from anything that comes from modern gaming. Its all corporate garbage.
"Boring, bloated piece of crap, Starfield.... I haven't played it" 🤣 I don't like Starfield but you lose all credibility with this statement. You've basically just admitted that your opinions are controlled by others, or at least formed with the goal of being contrarian or edgy. You speak like a teenager who is more interested in the negative discourse around the industry and going against the popular grain than having an interesting or original thought. You call people "ravenous consumers" because they buy games they're interested in, which just makes it sound like you can't afford games and you're bitter about it. Stop being negative, stop creating straw-man arguments, learn to appreciate the artistry and hard work that goes into these games instead of ranting about how other people choose to spend their time or money.
Its funny how many response essays have been written in this comments section, Starfield was fucking abysmal and is a huge red flag for bethesda like having played it for like 20 hours its bad your not wrong about it
My big problem with Bethesda games, which I suspect is some kind of issue between my Operating System and live services is that after Oblivion, the games inconveniently crash or the display freezes while the game still is running. The GOG versions crash less for me.
I mean I only play on PC nowadays and I just want games like RDR to be ported to PC. I don't really care what a game looks like as long as its fun. Remakes are one of the only incentives for game companies to make PC ports of older games that didn't initially recieve them. God bless emulation.
I agree with a few points in this video. Especially complaining about games like COD but buying them every year again. But altough many remakes or remasters are not needed, there are many good ones. For example the Resident evil remakes or the system shock and Dead space remake. Those remakes where not only better graphics but better gameplay, new additions and many improvements. And i don't at all agree with this generation being the worst. We have many good developers and many good games came out in 2023. Baldurs Gate 3, Marvels Midnight Suns, Lethal company, Dave the Diver etc. There are many good games out there and excellent developers you just have to look out for them and not stick to companies like Activision-Blizzard, bethesda or ubisoft. Although i have to say, many players are promoting lazy development. Like buying every COD, FIFA etc.
I suppose I am fighting a losing battle. Most people are easily corrupted by corporate and willing to be ripped off. It makes no difference to me personally, I can only warn people.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 i am confused, sorry. Are you talking about people i mentioned that buy games like cod or are you talking against my arguments? I am a bit stupid right now
I'm a GTA fanboy literally from the days of GTA III and I absolutely agree that they messed up so bad. They should have made the so called definitive edition themselves instead of hiring a mobile games studio. Also they messed up by not bringing RDR to PC because RDR2 is their best game so far in my opinion and I'd love to play the original as well.
Imo, it all comes down to a certain game franchise & the type of game genres. Like some racing games like Need For Speed: Underground 2, really needs a remake, because is not that easy to remaster a racing game, especially when they're dealing with car licensing, & have to remove certain car models, including car parts that are not available during this modern times. Which is the whole reason why most of these old racing games gets delisted from the stores everytime. Which kinda hurts preservation. Racing Games are always tied to licensing, which is why a remake would make sense for a racing game genre, as long as they keep the race tracks, & car upgrade stats.
Another based take from NWG. Aesthetics and artsyle are way more important than general "good graphics." I'm also over remakes, prequels, sequels, reboots, etc. I want new fresh original media period.
Thanks. Sad thing is their way of looking at gaming is in the vast and I do mean vast majority. We are outnumbered greatly and the consumers will continue to consume.
Great video. As someone who played the original Demon's Souls NOT on the PS3 but on an emulator because I couldn't play it when it originally came out, I was amazed to see what the devs had accomplished. The world, characters and especially the soundtrack made me love the game to a point where I personally place it above Dark Souls II and III, even though these were more recent games that I played first. So imagine my disgust when I later saw the PS5 remake where they killed the atmosphere, butchered the soundtrack and made the design of both the characters and the levels look much more generic despite the improved graphics. The worst thing is that people kept saying that "If you don't like how it looks now, you're just blinded by nostalgia" or "The original game is not how you remember all those years ago, move on" Well guess what? I didn't play it all those years ago! I played and finished the original for the FIRST TIME a few months before the remake was released and I saw how Bluepoint completely disregarded what made the original so especial, and how everyone just followed the hype train because "OHH SHINY NEW GRAPHICS!!!" "IS THAT ANOTHER EPIC CHANTING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC LIKE DARK SOULS 3???, I'M GETTING CHILLS!" And then they forgot about it and went on to consume the next popular product the algorithm recommended. It's all so tiresome, really.
@@raychii7361 720p at first because of the frame rate. After a few updates and me understanding the settings better I'm able to play at 1080p with good fps.
I've got friends who just can't play a game if it's over 2 years old... They just have to have the latest graphics. They scoff when I talk about old games, and about retro gaming. It just makes. no sense to me.
My buddy is nearly the same way, sadly. He doesn't outright reject games for being old, but he loves the $8,000 PC setup he built specifically to get the best out of modern titles. As a result, he refuses to give something like Half-Life 2 a chance because he's worried the graphics will turn him off regardless of how enjoyable the core experience would be,
Always boggles my mind when I see the same people saying that modern gaming is trash spend their time praising remakes of their childhood games like RE4 or the new MGS3 coming out. In my opinion remakes are only okay if it's a complete reimagining or to give forgotten/"bad" game franchises that had good ideas a second chance by actually making them fun. Good games are good forever, so just rerelease them as is if they're stuck on a certain platform, maybe offer alternative control schemes so they're not a hassle for the modern audience at most (and for the love of god don't make then cost 70 bucks). I also hate the fact that people think that more pixels = better graphics, I still think the original shemnue games look 100x better than any AAA slop devoid of personality of today (with some exceptions like Ghost of Tsushima), but leave it to the remaster to ruin it all by "upscaling" the graphics that were meant to be displayed at a low resolution. Playing Yakuza Kiwami 2 after Yakuza 2 and it's night and day, the game lost all its personality all so it can look better as a screenshot. When every modern game uses the same color palette to look realistic none of them end up standing out.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 Exactly. It reminds me of what they did to Star Wars: leave it alone. It was a nice memory but let's move on to bigger and better things.
100% I'm guilty of buying remakes/remasters...and I always seem to be disappointed. Also, this push for photo-realism and motion captured animation takes a ton of creativity out of the art style and makes all games look and play vaguely similar.
that gamers have no standards is the reason why there are microtransactions, loot boxes, day 1 dlc, invasive drm etc. companies know that regardsless how shitty a release is and how predatory microtransactions are within their games, there are enough idiots buying that crap anyways.
If a remake is interesting enough, why not? 😂 if it flops then we can collectively laugh at their hubris. But, RE2 was a pleasant surprise despite the tank controls and fixed camera angles being gone. It allowed for a different experience while preserving and respecting the genre defining gameplay loops. Remasters are something I find harder to sell myself on however, due to those scummy business tactics we lets slide too often. Master Chief Collection comes to mind and NO FRIGGIN-A CO-OP?!?!?!?!
I agree about RE remakes but I disagree about Master Chief Collection. Before it came out for PC, we only could play original version of Halo CE and 2, nothing after 2 came out for PC originally. MCC basically brought a native way to play Halo 3, ODST, Reach and 4 alongside improving graphics for the first two games. I'm especially impressed with Halo 2 when it comes to graphics. The only downside I see is the fact that they decided to not include Halo 5. I heard it's pretty bad but I'd still like to play it at least once. CO-OP is something I don't really care about but yeah they should have included it considering that it was there originally.
For me personally, I cannot stand tank controls and fixed camera angles, they're disorienting and frustrating to work around, whereas RE2 Remake has become my favourite horror game and the quintessential survival horror game in my opinion.
So what do you have to say about GOG or Steam. Those give you the same old game but it’s updated to work on newer PCs. Literally I wouldn’t run some of the old DOS games I get off GOG or Steam without their updated versions.
@@AdrianFahrenheitTepes Thanks. Yeah the publishers got so greedy over time that they decided to just start rereleasing everything rather than make new games. I honestly can't get my head around how so many gamers support these practices.
Were you actually a fan of the original though? If you need a remake in order to enjoy it then I would argue no. Just my personal opinion. It is what it is.
@@bekkatheman So you didn't like the original then. There you go. You didn't need a remake, you needed a new game entirely because you didn't like that game.
if we're talking about a reMAKE like RE4, then yes. keep doing stuff like this. but if we're talking about remastering the last of us part 2? i'm beyond good i think way too many people get these 2 mixed up, not you per say. remakes can be very very good but remasters are almost always a cash grab
I completely disagree with you. I think the games from 40 years ago are the ones that don't need remasters. Those pixel graphics are basically timeless as no matter how high quality our displays get, they'll always look just as sharp as they did back then, they just need to output with the right res of the screen, a basic port. Games from 2000-2015 are all things I could see needing remasters or full on remakes. The main reason is the absolutely terrible textures they used to have compared to today. Just look at how much better the Jak Collection looks to the original games just from redoing the textures and nothing else. Otherwise it's exactly the same game but it makes it look so much better. We also have way better lighting effects for modern games making some of those older ones just look bland or flat in comparison. Very few games aged as well as Dead Space 2 for example. Both Dead Space 1 and 3 look well below the bar of modern games. The only thing I don't like about remakes is when they directly change the story or gameplay mechanics/ physics. I think the original Dead Space had a far better story than the remake and they remove some of the notable parts of the ship. I do like the new game, but it feels wrong when things are unfaithful to the original. Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary also looks so much better than the original, but I still don't like it for being unfaithful in the atmosphere. Halo 2 Anniversary in comparison is nearly perfect, the only change is the sound of the weapons which is weird with the new wrath and hunter sounds, but it's still far better than the original. I will say the industry does have a tendency to make really crappy "remasters" though like the GTA one or the Uncharted ones. Basically just a straight port or still looking incredibly low quality while charging a higher price than they're worth. Something like Spyro Reignited or Crash Remastered deserved the $60 price tag, Mario 3D All Stars and Twilight Princess HD did not.
I totally disagree and am baffled how little NordicWarriorGaming seems to understand the gaming market. How on earth could you reduce remasters / remakes to "buying the same game over and over again"? Aren't you aware that there are people who didn't play the originals, either because they were too young, or didn't have a certain system back then? Let's take The Last of Us, a rather extrem example, that although it was released merely 11 years ago, already got _two_ remasters, one of them barely a year after the original release. I bought the first one. Why? Because I didn't have a PS3, never played the original, and preferred to play a version with higher resolution and higher frame rate on the PS4 I did own. I also bought the second remaster. Why? Because I wished to replay it with the graphical fidelity (which is a huge part of what creates immersion) of its successor TLOU2 on the PC with whom I replaced my old PS4 in the meantime. Yes, I paid another 50€ for a game I already owned. So what? That's about the cost of going to the cinema two times, but for significantly more hours of entertainment. It's not a lot of money. I started PC gaming in 1994 and I'm pretty sure it never was in a _better_ state than now. Many games back then weren't actually very good. They were held back tremendously by technical limitations and often lacked all quality-of-life features we now take for granted. Take System Shock for example, an incredibly innovative game that helped to shape a whole genre. Try to play the original - it's awful. The remake released last year may not be nearly as important for gaming history, but you can play it without getting eye cancer or breaking your fingers. I wouldn't recommend the original to anyone who started gaming in the recent decade, because they very much likely would have no fun at all. I would totally recommend the remake though. Same goes for later releases. I'd even say that games of the 2000's aged worse than 90s games, because they lack the charm of 2D or very early 3D graphics and often look absolutely awful by modern standards.
The thumbnail for your video shows why remakes are not pointless. "stop buying remakes" 🤡 people are buying them so they are not pointless. I Love remakes and I say bring them on! I do hate remakes of games that aren't even a decade old. But older games, especially from the 5th and 6th generation, are great! Games from those Generations were very limited by the hardware and 3D was still a new thing so they would benefit a lot from a remake
just wanted to add that you video on the rockstar portion is very miss infomed rockstar had nothing to do with the defintive edtion of the old gta games a mobile game studio called grove street games was responible for that mess also the gta pc port had many improvements the next gen ports werent re master just ports
@@Skyrim_Thalia The IP owner is responsible for brand recognition and quality in control. How does the saying go? First rule of leadership, everything is your fault.
Dunno, i rather have good remakes than bad new games, and there are still good games coming out beside that. Remaster and remakes are not the same, period. I agree with that graphic thing tho, but ultimately you make it out to be an extreme which it isnt. there are low graphic games that are good and there are high graphic games that are bad.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 Maybe in the AAA market, but it is incredibly reductive to claim there have been literally ZERO good games in over a DECADE! Like, have you played 13 Sentinels?! Or Disco Elysium?! Or Yakuza 0?!
Remakes are great, and it has almost nothing to do with graphics. Modern games are trash. So, if the only way you can get a good AAA game is if they remake a classic, I think it’s what they should do. The devs could learn how to make a good game. Most remakes should be of games that are 10 years old. However, I think exceptions exist. Some games were rushed out or had some other critical flaw that kept it from being excellent and popular. While some could be patched, some need to be remade and others could greatly benefit from a new release. If you think shooters haven’t evolved, you are clearly a shallow thinker. I say this as someone who knows DOOM (1993) is still excellent. The problem is not remakes; it’s people buying crappy products because they are new and or trendy. It doesn’t matter if it’s a remake of a 5-year-old game or a brand new one. Ghost Recon (2001) is an excellent game. Yet, it can be much better if it was properly remade. There are so many ways that it could be improved and expanded. It is not going to become popular by me telling my friends about it. There would need to be a remake. If it’s done properly, it can inspire new games to be better. TLDR: don’t buy bad games; buy good games, regardless as to whether it’s a remake.
I'm counting with totally overrated noob developers, with no clue about gaming and project management, but with a budget of half a billion bucks and a deadline of seven years for a new game, and a chance of 90% for it to fail. Okay, as we all know, even a remaster is often beyond their abilities, but at least the Halo 2 Remaster was a better game than Halo: Finite, and ME 1 from the trilogy better than Shitfield. Or Fallout 3 to 4 and Skyrim, which I've remastered myself ;) And nope, Bethesda has no fans anymore, just random people who eat everything if it has the right brand name on it. I'm a game since Space Invaders, and we are practically living in the end times of gaming, but new gamers are born in it and have no clue how gaming once was.
I agree that alot of remakes/remasters are gross, but I gotta say that the FF7 remake is one of the best games of the decade IMO, and yes I played the OG.
This so negative video, because the point of this video is only to stragling for buying games. You mixt two importen fact-remake and remaster is to different things. REMASTER-left everything in the game as is this and is it just Power boost for better Fps a quicker loading time ...etc. REMAKE-is completely change for the game , so it is completely new game. The developers which can add something new to the game which was in past not possible because, of the technical limitation of the hardware and software and new ideas to refresh the game and the gamplay and so is the game even better(RE4 remake). And in year 2023 we have planety new games , do you have play some of these new game? For me personaly if the remake of RE2 not coming out I haven't change to play this amazing game. So I'm glad for the remake and the remaster ,because witout that I'm not able to play some games (for example from ps1,2,3).
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 yes I'm calm very,but you are like little Kid which hasn't got the sweet.

But if you think RE4 remake is garbage, you choose.
Aww man site the sources when people have ever said "OOooh look at the fuckin graphics" When has a game review ever said that? I think many games need to be remade. Not good games, but games that where bad or limited by the time. The original Resident Evil 2 is unplayable by many of new fans. There are so many normies who cannot fathom playing with an over the shoulder camera. One juts cannot say that.
Then there is Konami making a mgs 3 remake, boring and stupid looking and some unreal blurry trash. Yare yare why the fuk they didn't do one effing collection rather then money dipping volume scam
Part of the reason for the number of remakes is the whiny tantrum reception of many gamers when companies make new types of video games that push the limits. the overblown reactions and constant tantrums make it a safer bet to remake something with a proven track record. you brought it on yourselves you whiney losers haha lol. still some of the remakes are amazing especially the capcom resident evil ones.
Your part of the problem . Why should studios take chances on new i.ps. and creative ideas when they can pump out the same set of yearly releases you can set your watch too and re hash old games and your extremely lucky if the game is even fully functional anymore yet you all fork over 70 too 200 dollars . For the slightest improvements .that arelitterally free on p.c but you get quarter and dime at every turn because your scakled to a console . Take resident evil 4 it's been on game cube ps2 ps3 ps4 and now a re make on ps5 and the worse part the gutt half the game or add stupid crap that either adds nothing or totally ruins the pace .
I don’t play new AAA games. They are usually far too buggy. Independent developers make awesome games. A few series that come to mind are Silver Falls, seven days to die and outbreak. I never bothered to play resident evil 4 remake. Resident evil three remake was terrible. I’m sorry my opinion doesn’t align with yours, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get along.
Excellent video, I completely agree with you! I could understand players asking for certain older games that aren't easily available to be ported for current systems, like Blood Will Tell which has become an expensive PS2 game, but since this current generation is backwards compatible there is no logical reason for this demand. For instance, The Last of Us was ported to the PS4 because PS3 games were not compatible with the PS4, however it's absolutely ridiculous how The Last of Us Part II is getting a PS5 release, when the PS4 version is perfectly playable on PS5 and readily available for much less. Uncharted 4 on PS5 is actually inferior to the PS4 original version since it's missing the online portion of the game that's so much fun. The same can be said about the inferior port of Red Dead Redemption for the PS4 and Switch that are also missing the online component from the Xbox 360/PS3 original. Other pointless examples of remakes/remasters are Alan Wake, Dead Space, and all the BioShock games since the superior and original Xbox 360 versions are already playable on Series X. You mentioned that many gamers are obsessed with graphics, so that shows how superficial they are and how they spend more time looking at games than actually playing them to completion. Do they not realize that gameplay (the single most important element in a video game) has been practically the same since the 7th generation of consoles with very little innovation if any? I blame the uneducated video game consumer more than the developers; they're the main reason why companies keep re-releasing the same games over and over again and why the video game industry has been stagnant for so long.
100% couldn't have put it better myself.
but this is almost the only game thats mentionable for this discussion. its not that extreme when its literally only naughtydog thinking last of us need a remake already so i dont feel the point of the discussion.

@@notyourdad Yes, they were all re-released in one disc on the BioShock: The Collection.
I think remakes are good if the original game was limited by hardware constraints, the black ops 2 map tranzit was intentionally made with lava and fog everywhere because the consoles at the time could not load everything in fast enough. So if a remake lives up to the original concept then i am all for it
What a stupid excuse to make a black ops 2 remake, the hell you one boring dude

@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 the sad truth
For me personally I like Remakes/Remasters, of course there are outliers of game that REALLY don’t need a remake or remaster, but most of the time I think they’re good because they give more people a chance to experience them. You tell people to play old game but that’s just kinda ignorant to the fact not everyone has every generation of console or can afford to buy whatever old game they want due to the prices being jacked up. In my experience, people always ask for remasters for games that are stuck on Old Consoles like the PS3, and/or seriously need a Performance boost. Some examples for me are Sonic Unleashed and Batman Arkham Origins, both are great games but they’re trapped on the PS3 and run like Crap. You can play both on Xbox via backwards compatibility but again, not everyone has one, so a remaster for all modern platforms would be great. When it comes to remakes I always see people talk about games from the Late 90s/Early 2000s that are in desperate need of an Upgrade. Games like Sonic Adventure which hasn’t been ported since 2011 and even then needed a major upgrade to both its graphics and mechanics. I guess, just avoid the obvious cash grabs but don’t be mad at people for buying/asking for what they like.
People are free to spend their money however they like, and I am free to tell them how silly they are for doing so and how they are being ripped off by corporate lol.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 Of course, just giving another perspective.
Exactly. OP apparently views every remake as a "cash-grab"-remake, ignores valid points for good remakes and also asumes that everyone has easy acces to all previous games regardless of system.
Awesome video! I think Retro Gaming is the way to go too! Gaming nowadays is just not as good as it used to be and that ain't nostalgia talking. DLC, battle passes, always-online games.... it's ridiculous...
Thanks. I agree we need to support genuine retro gaming and not nostalgia bait / cash grab remakes. God Bless.
remakes and re masters are actully really important mgs 4 has been stuck to the ps3 since 2008 game remakes the only reason i touched resident evil 4 was for the remake becasue the shooting and camera in the og was unplayable for me also a lot og older games have very outdated humor and takes poltically so a remake or remaster can help them fit modern standers
You are the perfect consumer for any mega corporation.

@MalitiaHDOfficial How so?
I'm actually glad From Software released a remaster for Dark Souls 1. For some reason the older original version runs like trash on my PC, not even hitting 30 fps, while the remaster runs smoothly with 60+ fps.
Who cares about fps? Makes no difference whatsoever.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 WTF ?! You must be joking, right ? It's absolutely not possible to play a game like Dark Souls efficiently with 20 and less frames per second. I dare you to try and beat the hardest bosses with a framerate like that.
@@SH_Hof If the game is dropping below 20 fps then that is a hardware issue, very common problem with PC gaming and one of the main reasons I personally play games on consoles. My point is that whether a game plays in 30 or 60 fps is virtually inconsequential. Some games are designed with lower frame rate in mind and they run and play perfectly.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 Depends on the game, but yeah, 30fps is definitely playable for the most part. Especially when it's a smooth 30fps without dips. Everything below, with visible stutter, isn't enjoyable though.
It's very much possible that the original Dark Souls is badly optimized for some hardware setups. In my case it was a good thing that they released the remaster, because that runs beautifully on my hardware, as i said.
Wow, I cannot believe someone just said frame rates don’t matter. Obviously, they’re a console kiddy, but it’s still surprising. Most console kiddies, now that they’ve experienced 60fps, understand there’s a difference. They still don’t know how big of a difference there is, as many of them have never experienced more than 60fps, let alone more than 120fps on a monitor that can show every frame and quickly.
Even if you had some mental disorder that prevented you from seeing the frames, many games have physics tied to the frames, and that means they objectively make a difference. It can be almost a completely different game. The amount of ignorance required to say that frame rates don’t matter…
I’m glad there’s people like you who call out this bs. I wish other UA-camrs spoke about this. I am so sick and tired of people begging for remakes of games that are just fine the way they are. Now there are actually 2 games that I think could use a remake but I’m not gonna beg for them to happen like everyone else does. As for remasters I don’t mind them if it’s for games that are still stuck on old gen consoles.
Thanks. I agree most popular gaming channels are scared to call this stuff out since it can potentially lose them sponsership and revenue.
Something that bothers me the most about remakes is how often do the people who made the original take part in remaking the game? almost every remake the creative spark is completely gone and they add hd graphics and it just feels so divorced from art and creativity. I wish they'd just make cool new games. How many game developers want to work on these remakes for games they were never involved in creating?
I agree. No creativity whatsoever in these remakes. They are pointless.
Bla bla bla.....Remakes are NOT pointless. There are many games that I would love to see remade. Dragon Age Origins, Witcher 1 (which is being done Woo-Hoo!), Beyond Good & Evil, and many many more! A lot of these older games were made with the technological limitations of their day. Most of these games had a vision that far exceeds what was eventually released. This creates the perfect opportunity for REMAKES.
Why you have a problem with this, is beyond understanding. If you personally don't like Remakes, just don't buy them!
Consumers gonna consume.

Man I'm not buying a whole ass console just to play a couple of games, especially if there is indeed a way to play them on my primary machines. Anything from a system that is prior to the age of HD gaming is going to look like garbage on my TV to begin with
Remakes and remasters do indeed allow a new audience The opportunity to play games that they may not have otherwise.
Some of them are cheap lazy cash grabs. Some of them have a lot of work put into them and genuinely enhance the original experience or downright improve it
I feel like this is ignoring one of the big reasons for a remake, that being accessibility. Most of these games that got remakes were made for older consoles that people don't have access to, and not a single one of them is backwards compatible across all platforms (Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo). Graphics usually play very little part in people suggesting for a remake, it's pretty much always about accessibility to the game itself (it's not about "this game should get remade to make it look better", it's about "this game should be remade for newer consoles")
Out of all of the games you list here, the only one that doesn't really work for what you described was Skyrim's Anniversary Edition. I believe it was intended as an Xbox Series/PS5 release, but I don't believe it had any enhancements and the Special Edition was already playable on those regardless. In the case of everything else, it brought a game to a platform that otherwise wouldn't have been able to play it, and not all of these games are easy to find secondhand even if you have the console to play them on. Red Dead Redemption has never been on a Nintendo console, Last of Us was never on PC, Skyrim wasn't on Xbox One, PS4, or Switch, same goes for GTA V, Windwaker was only on GameCube, Skyward Sword was only on Wii, the original GTA Trilogy wasn't playable on PS4 or PS5, and even in a lot of cases newer hardware with newer drivers can make support for older games more difficult on PC
I'm not going to say there's no merit to what you're saying, companies absolutely need to try harder to make games more polished (although we did just come out of one of the greatest years of gaming we've had in a while so some people might disagree), but I feel like this is missing a lot of points. Hell, we just came out of a pandemic, games currently in development were mostly made with a whole 2 and a half years of improper communication and remote development. There are so many factors that would affect the game development apart from solely greed
I believe I actually addressed this in the video. Sure if a game is inaccessible for modern players, like some obscure PC game from the early 90s or a side scroller that never saw a wide release on consoles, then yes by all means remaster or remake it.
However that's not the issue here. The issue is that games that are already HD, already widely accessible and are in now way obscure or hard to find are being remade and rereleased all the time. Its becoming an industry standard. You said that many of these games are inaccessible? That is simply untrue. Buying a remake on modern systems will set you back about 70$ (and that's being conservative) You can literally buy a PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and a WII with a handful of second hand games, all together for less than that if you know where to look.
There are cash exchange store everywhere these days, not to mention Ebay and Amazon. 6th and 7th generation games and consoles are cheap as chips and in no way hard to find. Plus you won't be funding the modern gaming industry and supporting shady business practices. You will instead be helping to keep the physical media / retro gaming market alive, actually contributing to the culture in a good way rather than just being a blind consumer.
I strongly disagree but its all just my opinion of course. God Bless.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 "If you know where to look" is not a good argument for accessibility. The whole point of accessibility is that anyone can get into it
If you're looking locally, you have to just kind of hope to find all of these systems and the games that you actually want to play, and hope they're priced affordably because everyone prices used stuff differently. If you're not near any, then they're not accessible
If you're shopping online, then you need to pay for both the item and the shipping in most cases, plus the seller could slightly oversell what they're offering and you'd be none the wiser (remember, older systems also have more moving parts than newer ones, which if they fail then the system could just stop working or stop reading discs altogether). If you live somewhere remote (for example I live in Canada and several things on eBayhave a shipping price of $20), then that becomes less accessible
Newer systems with official support are sold everywhere, and newer games are offered officially on a digital storefront so you don't even need to get up and leave to look for them. If you want to go deeper, you can even find keys for these games secondhand for less money than the games themselves are worth. Either way, it's much more accessible
I'm all for buying games secondhand, I personally like to buy older games for the purpose of ripping them to emulate them, but no, it is absolutely not *nearly* as accessible. If I didn't come across a copy of Skyward Sword for Wii at my local reseller, I absolutely would've just bought the Switch remake, and even then the price of the game plus the Motion Plus accessory required to play it totalled the price of the remake. A big part of accessibility is convenience
Another problem is that people don’t know the difference between a remake and a remaster. Remasters are almost entirely about the graphics, and they use the same engine. Remakes utilize a new engine, drastically changing what’s possible in the game. Reboots are a new view on what the intellectual property should be. Ports make the game work on different platforms.
@@Go_Coup Everyone knows the difference between a remake and a remaster. Stop larping.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 , yet, you talk about remastering games from the 90s and call remasters “remakes.” Hmm, pretending to be something you are not…
You hit the nail on the head I am totally with you and feel the same way about the armada of "remake demanding zombies" on the net. Let those pieces of art be what they are, and enjoy them as what they are. Many possibilities to play classics for free nowadays in hd glory using emulators, but have completely original graphics that still have their artistic intend behind them, not just looking like photoreal empty shells of what those games formerly where trying to creatively achieve: evoke emotions under the restrictions of their time.
Thanks. I have never for the life of me been able to understand why you would want a remake if you already own the game. It goes to show that its the graphics they are all about and not the games themselves.
The gaming industry has been on a steady decline since about the mid 2010s. It's going the same way as the movie industry was/is, remakes, remasters and reimaginings ad nauseam.
Like I understand picking up a remake or port of a childhood classic, but with emulators nowadays you don't have an excuse.
The last thing of the sort I got was the Spyro Reignited Trilogy (regrettably) just so I could more easily play it with my family (I don't have the old hardware anymore). But for personal enjoyment, nah.
I was gifted Starfield and, Bethesda really lost their touch with Fallout 4. Starfield is Fallout 4 but grindier and emptier. Completely incongruous aesthetics, and lame story, but I repeat myself. There were little glimmers that has me huffing copium for TES6. But overall? A shame.
There is two issues the shills and and the incompetent devs.
Devs make shovelware slop, and Consoomers slurp it up. Tragic to witness.
I love Spyro btw. My personal favourite games of all time.
I knew this 3 years ago, with every GTA release since Red Dead Redemption 2.
I remember talking to acquaintances (and they agreed), how repackaging video games is money. Hollywood did the same thing. It took YEARS for consumers to catch on.
Streaming services are a new version of cable television.
Etc.
They are slow to catch on as usual lol.
This video is kind of nonsense. Starting with your complaint about starfield I'm not going to sit here and say it's a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination it has a significant amount of faults but you've never played it you can't have an informed opinion when you haven't played the thing your friends playing it doesn't count it's hard to take you seriously when you aren't informed about the thing you're talking about. Sure there are some remasters that are unnecessary but many of them aren't. For instance PS4 wasn't backwards compatible with PS3 games and so re-releasing some of those makes sense because they're not backwards compatible. Yeah sure you get a couple Skyrim anniversary editions or last of Us part 1 being re-released at least that was put on PC on a place that never was before which makes it worth it. We also have games like resident evil 2 remake resident evil 4 remake Dead space remake that are all incredibly well done add a lot to existing game improves upon them and makes in most cases a superior version to be the definitive way to play that story. There's nothing wrong with remakes or remasters there are way more examples of it working out very well for the consumer then it being a cheap cash grab. You complained about Red Dead being released I was excited to be able to play that on the go and buy it on my switch. But it wasn't released on Xbox that way because it's backwards compatible already it was only released on PS4 and switch where the game wasn't available. There's a massive issue online with a bunch of people forming uninformed opinions and spreading negativity without having proper knowledge to back up that negativity. Starfield didn't win game of the year it didn't get nominated for game of the year the games that did like Baldur's gate 3 or Alan Wake 2 push the medium forward. There's a lot of problems going on to this industry right now you can argue live service elements being predatory you can go on a long grant about how the gaming industry is financially booming almost better than any other industry yet they are a massive layoffs across the board. You can talk about how the development cycle for new games is just too long and can lead to it being unsustainable. But releasing a remaster of something that isn't available on the system that they have or a remake for an older game that had a lot of wonderful things about it but could seriously see some modern improvements there's nothing wrong with it I would love to see a kotor remake that game has a wonderful story but it's gameplay is ancient. Resident evil 4 remake is considered one of the best of the year and it's not because ooh pretty graphics It's because it enhances it's original concept it makes the game more impactful the acting is better the gameplay is better it is more frightening and practically improves on the original source in almost every way.

That sounds more hypocritical then just playing a game and forming your own opinion especially a game like starfield which is available at no extra cost for anyone that has game pass and if you have an Xbox or a PC you can have access to that.

@@SlashersquadJack Stay away from children.
I never understand why people always ask for games that they already like to get remade or remastered. If the game is already good, why would you want a remaster? The only times I want a remake is when the game has either aged really badly or when it it’s only available on really old platforms that I do not own.
But man, it always really hurts my brain when I see people say: ‘This game is so good, it needs a remaster’.
Yeah the question I would always ask them is "if you need it to be remastered to enjoy it, then are you really a fan of the game?" It seems to me that if you like a game then it will be fine with you the way it is.
Kotor and return to castle wolfenstein are really the only two remakes I'd like to see
kotor is already backwards compatible and avalible digitally. Remake would be completely pointless.
It seems that many of the people who disliked this video did so before actually seeing the whole thing. He's not saying that ALL remakes are bad or pointless, mostly the ones that are remastered gen-on-gen, whereas remaking retro, especially out-of-print games, is generally fine. Graphical remasters, however, are often times just soulless cash grabs.
Yeah that seems to be the problem with the internet now a days. People are so reactionary and unreasonable lol. God Bless.
Well it depends on the game but some can be really good. I reccomend the Nightdive studios remasters like Quake 1+2 and Shadowman. They actually added a lot of new content. For games that are not that old I would agree with you that they often don't need a remake/remaster.
Yeah games like that I have no issue with remakes. My issue is with relatively modern games being rereleased for absolutely no reason.
You know i actually searched remakes are pointless and wonder of wonders I'm here, excellent video
Thanks. Glad to see you here.
Being honest, I don’t think I’ve heard any mainstream critics just saying “The graphics are amazing 10/10 game” and not talking about anything else. Even IGN has a Pros and Cons section at the end of each review
IGN say whatever they are paid to say. When they provide cons or criticism, its completely vague and inconsequential.
Yeah, but critics will knock it if the graphics aren't up to their expectations...
"This feels more like a re-skin of [insert previous title] rather than a new installment, so I don't think it's worth full price" -- that mentality is totally in line with how AAA studios want us gamers to think about our purchase
Digital Foundry, but they are graphics technology focused and don't pretend otherwise.
Remakes of Movies, games or any type of media that's great makes absolutely no sense at all.
I don't really game anymore because my console is suffering Troubleshoot issues I hope it gets fixed soon.
I agree. What makes even less sense is gamers buying them.
I just want ports. Though I will buy second hand most of the time.
I want to say that you should buy some remakes... Rather remasters.
The people quake 1 and remasters... that was done right. 10 dollqrs plus a new set of maps for the game.
Those are the kind of remasters we should be supporting. Getting old classics up to standard. It's not a remake. It's simply just taking the source code and making it run nice and a little tweak for our systems.
Yep. Very old games that are not accessible could be remade logically. But remaking 7th generation games is pointless.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 so like most people sell the ps4 /ps3 to buy the new console to save money which is the smart decision most people are not hanging on to ancient hardware to play old games that’s why we have re masters and re makes maybe think about other people other than yourself
What bugs me about remaking RDR1 is that the obsession with graphics is so extreme… most people don’t realise that it’s a damn regression in every other way.
Many people have been saying RDR1 is much better as a game than RDR2 which is an interactive movie. Alas the majority don’t consider those factors, they want the graphics. Fortunately I already knew it would never be remade in a million years.
Good on you regarding Starfield. I played it, it is exactly as bad as you’ve presumed.
Thanks bro. I've honestly gotten to the point where I just expect mediocrity at best from anything that comes from modern gaming. Its all corporate garbage.
I don't mind remakes as long they're good and they don't feel points
I really enjoyed the remakes for RE2 and RE4
"Boring, bloated piece of crap, Starfield.... I haven't played it" 🤣
I don't like Starfield but you lose all credibility with this statement. You've basically just admitted that your opinions are controlled by others, or at least formed with the goal of being contrarian or edgy. You speak like a teenager who is more interested in the negative discourse around the industry and going against the popular grain than having an interesting or original thought. You call people "ravenous consumers" because they buy games they're interested in, which just makes it sound like you can't afford games and you're bitter about it.
Stop being negative, stop creating straw-man arguments, learn to appreciate the artistry and hard work that goes into these games instead of ranting about how other people choose to spend their time or money.
I'm tottaly agree
"Artistry and hard work" You mean procedurally generated, repetitive crap?
Its funny how many response essays have been written in this comments section, Starfield was fucking abysmal and is a huge red flag for bethesda like having played it for like 20 hours its bad your not wrong about it
My big problem with Bethesda games, which I suspect is some kind of issue between my Operating System and live services is that after Oblivion, the games inconveniently crash or the display freezes while the game still is running. The GOG versions crash less for me.
I mean I only play on PC nowadays and I just want games like RDR to be ported to PC. I don't really care what a game looks like as long as its fun. Remakes are one of the only incentives for game companies to make PC ports of older games that didn't initially recieve them.
God bless emulation.
I agree with a few points in this video. Especially complaining about games like COD but buying them every year again. But altough many remakes or remasters are not needed, there are many good ones. For example the Resident evil remakes or the system shock and Dead space remake. Those remakes where not only better graphics but better gameplay, new additions and many improvements.
And i don't at all agree with this generation being the worst. We have many good developers and many good games came out in 2023. Baldurs Gate 3, Marvels Midnight Suns, Lethal company, Dave the Diver etc. There are many good games out there and excellent developers you just have to look out for them and not stick to companies like Activision-Blizzard, bethesda or ubisoft.
Although i have to say, many players are promoting lazy development. Like buying every COD, FIFA etc.
I suppose I am fighting a losing battle. Most people are easily corrupted by corporate and willing to be ripped off. It makes no difference to me personally, I can only warn people.

He's not wrong though. I think one studio name can sum this up, Rockstar. Smh
Try criticising anything Rockstar does and be swarmed with angry fanboys lol. Its a waste of time.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 I know. Love GTA but the time between games is just... whatever we all know it, especially the fan boys. Smh
I'm a GTA fanboy literally from the days of GTA III and I absolutely agree that they messed up so bad. They should have made the so called definitive edition themselves instead of hiring a mobile games studio. Also they messed up by not bringing RDR to PC because RDR2 is their best game so far in my opinion and I'd love to play the original as well.
Imo, it all comes down to a certain game franchise & the type of game genres.
Like some racing games like Need For Speed: Underground 2, really needs a remake, because is not that easy to remaster a racing game, especially when they're dealing with car licensing, & have to remove certain car models, including car parts that are not available during this modern times. Which is the whole reason why most of these old racing games gets delisted from the stores everytime. Which kinda hurts preservation. Racing Games are always tied to licensing, which is why a remake would make sense for a racing game genre, as long as they keep the race tracks, & car upgrade stats.
Another based take from NWG. Aesthetics and artsyle are way more important than general "good graphics." I'm also over remakes, prequels, sequels, reboots, etc. I want new fresh original media period.
Thanks. Sad thing is their way of looking at gaming is in the vast and I do mean vast majority. We are outnumbered greatly and the consumers will continue to consume.
Great video. As someone who played the original Demon's Souls NOT on the PS3 but on an emulator because I couldn't play it when it originally came out, I was amazed to see what the devs had accomplished. The world, characters and especially the soundtrack made me love the game to a point where I personally place it above Dark Souls II and III, even though these were more recent games that I played first. So imagine my disgust when I later saw the PS5 remake where they killed the atmosphere, butchered the soundtrack and made the design of both the characters and the levels look much more generic despite the improved graphics. The worst thing is that people kept saying that "If you don't like how it looks now, you're just blinded by nostalgia" or "The original game is not how you remember all those years ago, move on" Well guess what? I didn't play it all those years ago! I played and finished the original for the FIRST TIME a few months before the remake was released and I saw how Bluepoint completely disregarded what made the original so especial, and how everyone just followed the hype train because "OHH SHINY NEW GRAPHICS!!!" "IS THAT ANOTHER EPIC CHANTING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC LIKE DARK SOULS 3???, I'M GETTING CHILLS!" And then they forgot about it and went on to consume the next popular product the algorithm recommended. It's all so tiresome, really.
Thanks. These conformist consumers really are killing gaming. Its sad to think about.

I've never bought a remastered game in my life
If I want to remaster a game I like I go online and find mods
I've got friends who just can't play a game if it's over 2 years old... They just have to have the latest graphics. They scoff when I talk about old games, and about retro gaming. It just makes. no sense to me.
Same here. I also here things like "I would play San Andreas if it had GTA 5 graphics" Makes me go ballistic lol.
My buddy is nearly the same way, sadly. He doesn't outright reject games for being old, but he loves the $8,000 PC setup he built specifically to get the best out of modern titles. As a result, he refuses to give something like Half-Life 2 a chance because he's worried the graphics will turn him off regardless of how enjoyable the core experience would be,
@@southpaw117 I just finished playing Half Life 2 as it happens lol. I will be reviewing it quite soon.
Old games are where they are at. The graphics may be dated, but the artstyle is the king.
Always boggles my mind when I see the same people saying that modern gaming is trash spend their time praising remakes of their childhood games like RE4 or the new MGS3 coming out. In my opinion remakes are only okay if it's a complete reimagining or to give forgotten/"bad" game franchises that had good ideas a second chance by actually making them fun. Good games are good forever, so just rerelease them as is if they're stuck on a certain platform, maybe offer alternative control schemes so they're not a hassle for the modern audience at most (and for the love of god don't make then cost 70 bucks).
I also hate the fact that people think that more pixels = better graphics, I still think the original shemnue games look 100x better than any AAA slop devoid of personality of today (with some exceptions like Ghost of Tsushima), but leave it to the remaster to ruin it all by "upscaling" the graphics that were meant to be displayed at a low resolution. Playing Yakuza Kiwami 2 after Yakuza 2 and it's night and day, the game lost all its personality all so it can look better as a screenshot. When every modern game uses the same color palette to look realistic none of them end up standing out.
Someone said that about the Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion ("I would love a remake"), and it made my blood boil.
Yeah there is no need for a remake. The original is fine and has its own personality and feel to it.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 Exactly. It reminds me of what they did to Star Wars: leave it alone. It was a nice memory but let's move on to bigger and better things.
100%
I'm guilty of buying remakes/remasters...and I always seem to be disappointed.
Also, this push for photo-realism and motion captured animation takes a ton of creativity out of the art style and makes all games look and play vaguely similar.
Yeah photo realism doesn't age very well. A good art style is timeless.
I’m glad they remaster red dead og because I never got to play it and I don’t have a pc or Xbox
You could buy one. They are very very cheap now a days.
@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 your right I guess I’m to accustom to my ps5 I spend like 500 dollars on it
that gamers have no standards is the reason why there are microtransactions, loot boxes, day 1 dlc, invasive drm etc.
companies know that regardsless how shitty a release is and how predatory microtransactions are within their games, there are enough idiots buying that crap anyways.
If a remake is interesting enough, why not? 😂 if it flops then we can collectively laugh at their hubris.
But, RE2 was a pleasant surprise despite the tank controls and fixed camera angles being gone. It allowed for a different experience while preserving and respecting the genre defining gameplay loops.
Remasters are something I find harder to sell myself on however, due to those scummy business tactics we lets slide too often.
Master Chief Collection comes to mind and NO FRIGGIN-A CO-OP?!?!?!?!
I agree about RE remakes but I disagree about Master Chief Collection. Before it came out for PC, we only could play original version of Halo CE and 2, nothing after 2 came out for PC originally. MCC basically brought a native way to play Halo 3, ODST, Reach and 4 alongside improving graphics for the first two games. I'm especially impressed with Halo 2 when it comes to graphics. The only downside I see is the fact that they decided to not include Halo 5. I heard it's pretty bad but I'd still like to play it at least once. CO-OP is something I don't really care about but yeah they should have included it considering that it was there originally.
For me personally, I cannot stand tank controls and fixed camera angles, they're disorienting and frustrating to work around, whereas RE2 Remake has become my favourite horror game and the quintessential survival horror game in my opinion.
So what do you have to say about GOG or Steam. Those give you the same old game but it’s updated to work on newer PCs. Literally I wouldn’t run some of the old DOS games I get off GOG or Steam without their updated versions.

Money killed the gaming industry
The route of all evil as the saying goes.
Sometimes remakes sometimes add more to a story. Like RE4, they added so much lore.. and took out some very annoying quick time events.
Were you actually a fan of the original though? If you need a remake in order to enjoy it then I would argue no. Just my personal opinion. It is what it is.

Quake remasters
if we're talking about a reMAKE like RE4, then yes. keep doing stuff like this. but if we're talking about remastering the last of us part 2? i'm beyond good
i think way too many people get these 2 mixed up, not you per say. remakes can be very very good but remasters are almost always a cash grab
They should just port it to PC and that's about it.
I completely disagree with you. I think the games from 40 years ago are the ones that don't need remasters. Those pixel graphics are basically timeless as no matter how high quality our displays get, they'll always look just as sharp as they did back then, they just need to output with the right res of the screen, a basic port.
Games from 2000-2015 are all things I could see needing remasters or full on remakes. The main reason is the absolutely terrible textures they used to have compared to today. Just look at how much better the Jak Collection looks to the original games just from redoing the textures and nothing else. Otherwise it's exactly the same game but it makes it look so much better.
We also have way better lighting effects for modern games making some of those older ones just look bland or flat in comparison. Very few games aged as well as Dead Space 2 for example. Both Dead Space 1 and 3 look well below the bar of modern games.
The only thing I don't like about remakes is when they directly change the story or gameplay mechanics/ physics. I think the original Dead Space had a far better story than the remake and they remove some of the notable parts of the ship. I do like the new game, but it feels wrong when things are unfaithful to the original. Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary also looks so much better than the original, but I still don't like it for being unfaithful in the atmosphere. Halo 2 Anniversary in comparison is nearly perfect, the only change is the sound of the weapons which is weird with the new wrath and hunter sounds, but it's still far better than the original.
I will say the industry does have a tendency to make really crappy "remasters" though like the GTA one or the Uncharted ones. Basically just a straight port or still looking incredibly low quality while charging a higher price than they're worth. Something like Spyro Reignited or Crash Remastered deserved the $60 price tag, Mario 3D All Stars and Twilight Princess HD did not.
Fair points.
I totally disagree and am baffled how little NordicWarriorGaming seems to understand the gaming market. How on earth could you reduce remasters / remakes to "buying the same game over and over again"? Aren't you aware that there are people who didn't play the originals, either because they were too young, or didn't have a certain system back then?
Let's take The Last of Us, a rather extrem example, that although it was released merely 11 years ago, already got _two_ remasters, one of them barely a year after the original release. I bought the first one. Why? Because I didn't have a PS3, never played the original, and preferred to play a version with higher resolution and higher frame rate on the PS4 I did own. I also bought the second remaster. Why? Because I wished to replay it with the graphical fidelity (which is a huge part of what creates immersion) of its successor TLOU2 on the PC with whom I replaced my old PS4 in the meantime. Yes, I paid another 50€ for a game I already owned. So what? That's about the cost of going to the cinema two times, but for significantly more hours of entertainment. It's not a lot of money.
I started PC gaming in 1994 and I'm pretty sure it never was in a _better_ state than now. Many games back then weren't actually very good. They were held back tremendously by technical limitations and often lacked all quality-of-life features we now take for granted. Take System Shock for example, an incredibly innovative game that helped to shape a whole genre. Try to play the original - it's awful. The remake released last year may not be nearly as important for gaming history, but you can play it without getting eye cancer or breaking your fingers. I wouldn't recommend the original to anyone who started gaming in the recent decade, because they very much likely would have no fun at all. I would totally recommend the remake though. Same goes for later releases. I'd even say that games of the 2000's aged worse than 90s games, because they lack the charm of 2D or very early 3D graphics and often look absolutely awful by modern standards.
Way to completely miss the point.
When I finally got dragon Age 3for the ps4 in 2018, they scoffed at me cuz the game was like 4 years at the time and had "dated" Graphics by then.
Its mad that some people actually think a game released in 2014 is old LOL.
The thumbnail for your video shows why remakes are not pointless. "stop buying remakes" 🤡 people are buying them so they are not pointless.
I Love remakes and I say bring them on! I do hate remakes of games that aren't even a decade old. But older games, especially from the 5th and 6th generation, are great! Games from those Generations were very limited by the hardware and 3D was still a new thing so they would benefit a lot from a remake

Remakes are great, and it has almost nothing to do with graphics. Modern games are trash. So, if the only way you can get a good AAA game is if they remake a classic, I think it’s what they should do. The devs could learn how to make a good game. Most remakes should be of games that are 10 years old. However, I think exceptions exist. Some games were rushed out or had some other critical flaw that kept it from being excellent and popular. While some could be patched, some need to be remade and others could greatly benefit from a new release.
If you think shooters haven’t evolved, you are clearly a shallow thinker. I say this as someone who knows DOOM (1993) is still excellent.
The problem is not remakes; it’s people buying crappy products because they are new and or trendy. It doesn’t matter if it’s a remake of a 5-year-old game or a brand new one.
Ghost Recon (2001) is an excellent game. Yet, it can be much better if it was properly remade. There are so many ways that it could be improved and expanded. It is not going to become popular by me telling my friends about it. There would need to be a remake. If it’s done properly, it can inspire new games to be better.
TLDR: don’t buy bad games; buy good games, regardless as to whether it’s a remake.
Ravenous consumers will continue to ravenously consume, regardless of what you or I say. Unfortunately for the state of gaming.
I'm counting with totally overrated noob developers, with no clue about gaming and project management, but with a budget of half a billion bucks and a deadline of seven years for a new game, and a chance of 90% for it to fail. Okay, as we all know, even a remaster is often beyond their abilities, but at least the Halo 2 Remaster was a better game than Halo: Finite, and ME 1 from the trilogy better than Shitfield. Or Fallout 3 to 4 and Skyrim, which I've remastered myself ;) And nope, Bethesda has no fans anymore, just random people who eat everything if it has the right brand name on it.
I'm a game since Space Invaders, and we are practically living in the end times of gaming, but new gamers are born in it and have no clue how gaming once was.

@@nordicwarriorgaming4953 Good. Anything other than mindless positivity is downvoted like this these days.
@@F_Yale True. Most gaming channels make grifting, fluff pieces. Not me. God Bless.
This video is so negative. I had to stop listening to it. I love remake games Skyrim on the PS five is incredible.
Your part of the problem . Why should studios take chances on new i.ps. and creative ideas when they can pump out the same set of yearly releases you can set your watch too and re hash old games and your extremely lucky if the game is even fully functional anymore yet you all fork over 70 too 200 dollars . For the slightest improvements .that arelitterally free on p.c but you get quarter and dime at every turn because your scakled to a console . Take resident evil 4 it's been on game cube ps2 ps3 ps4 and now a re make on ps5 and the worse part the gutt half the game or add stupid crap that either adds nothing or totally ruins the pace .
@@flying1dead155 Yep. Sadly we are greatly outnumbered by the hordes of ravenous consumers and casuals.
I don’t play new AAA games. They are usually far too buggy. Independent developers make awesome games. A few series that come to mind are Silver Falls, seven days to die and outbreak. I never bothered to play resident evil 4 remake. Resident evil three remake was terrible. I’m sorry my opinion doesn’t align with yours, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get along.
Bloodborne needs remaster, I stand by this
