Game remasters/collections worthy of a purchase?

Still waiting on the Mega Man Star Force collection and the Mega Man 3D collection, which would hopefully include Legends 1, Legends 2, Tron Bonne, and that one Battle Network Gamecube game that everyone forgot about (but I liked).

I can't speak to the console ports, but the Crysis remasters are very solid. Totally worth buying if it's as solid of a port as it is on PC.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is the benchmark for my money. Castlevania Dominus Collection is the benchmark for porting 3DS games to stationary gaming devices. I played TLOU on Steam and it was really good. Mafia remake is.....decent. The locomotion and shooting is ass but it looks pretty good. Resident Evil 2 Remake is solid if you mod out Mr X and install a 1 headshot 1 kill mod.

I might need to check it out in that case, only because I have the Capcom fighting collection that includes Dark Stalkers etc, but I don't think that had one button special move option..(though I could be wrong)
Capcom Fighting Collection has a mappable button for specials and one for supers. Pulling off command grabs with a single press is amazing but charged specials are crap as you are stuck unable to do anything else.

I was actually thinking of that one lol, but the Advance Collection is great too! Although I might be the only one who liked Harmony of Dissonance, maybe because it was my first Metroidvania...

I kind of wish that Konami released a Collection that had Symphony of the Night and all the GBA and DS Castlevanias in one package. Not complaining but I have no interest in playing the non Metroidvanias games in each of those other Collection. Harmony of Dissonance is a fantastic game so no hate from me.

As for my first Metroidvania, it's Steamworld Dig 2

I recently bought Yakuza collection on psn for 40$. It has all the games from 0 to 6. Playing Yakuza 0 now and it alone is worth that price for me.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age.

Honestly it’s less a remaster and almost like a brand new game with all the additions and improvements. They fixed every complaint I had about the original.

The two most recent Aspyr remasters for Tomb Raider and Legacy of Kain were for sure labors of love for the OG games.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Uncharted Collection, and Atari 50 Expanded Edition are some of my favorites. I really like Tempest 2000's 60 FPS mode in Atari 50, but it does throw your timing off until you get used to it.

Is on sale for just a measly fucking $6 on Steam and Xbox right now.

Xbox version has 120hz support as well.

Absolutely no excuse for anyone whose been curious about these games to not give it a shot at this price.

Quake 2 Remastered

Contains:
The newly remastered and enhanced, but faithful, version of the original game.
Both original expansion packs.
The original N64 game also known as Quake 2.
An all new campaign designed by Wolfenstein and Indiana Jones developers Machine Games.
Lots of extra content.

I think that's sufficient to call it a "collection".
It's on Gamepass, but also is usually quite cheap to purchase.

It's worth mentioning that they both require a large level of tolerance for the way they play. Tomb Raider remasters technically offer modern controls, but they're even worse than classic and I disabled them after 2-3 levels. The games were simply built with tank controls in mind. A buddy of mine knows only the newer TR games (starting around Legend) and he almost immediately stopped playing.

From what I've read Soul Reaver games have also launched with plenty of bugs, I would recommend waiting a bit longer until they're fixed (that's what I'm currently doing).

You can’t play the original Tomb Raider games with modern controls. The entire core of the gameplay is that the methodical jumping is part of the puzzle.

It would be like being like “portals are too confusing in Portal so we need those replaced with modern QTE events”. You are supposed to go into a room, look around and know what what ledges require a standing jump, a running jump, etc.

Trying to completely remove tank controls is what made TR anniversary hot garbage.

The Atari 50 collection is a nice one, both for its historical interactive museum but also for the selection of games some of their best arcade stuff is in there.

One of the best gaming bargains of all time. I was also pleasantly surprised by how much the Javik, Citadel, and Leviathan DLCs helped flesh out my enjoyment of Mass Effect 3. Omega was kinda meh, though.

Get it on PC instead and use the community patch to fix everything wrong with this version.
