Shuhei Yoshida: If You Want New First-Party PS5 Games, You Should Support Remasters

They're good, actually
www.pushsquare.com www.pushsquare.com

"I joked about [PlayStation co-CEO Hermen Hulst] being criticised for making too many remasters," Yoshida says. "I think the people who complain about that are maybe thinking Hermen is doing that instead of doing something new. But I'm sure these remakes are made by a dedicated, different team, or some porting teams, especially the PC version. So I don't think he's sacrificing anything by doing [remasters]."

Yoshida continues, pointing out that a remake or remaster project is "much cheaper to produce, creates additional revenue, and creates new users to the IP, especially when you port the game to PC".

Making remasters, PC ports, and remakes can bring in "enough revenue to keep investing in big titles", Yoshida says. "Single-player games now cost so much, so they need additional income by doing remasters and porting to PC to be able to do that."

He concludes by saying that if remaster naysayers "like first-party's output, the big single-player games, they should support Hermen doing these porting and remasters so that he can keep investing in these great new games".

There have been a fair number of remakes and remasters this generation, not to mention all Sony's PC porting efforts, so we do understand where people are coming from when they roll their eyes at, for example, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Some of us have been asking for a Resistance trilogy remaster for the better part of a decade, Shu. Hell, even before Bloodborne was a thing.

Give us the remasters we want instead of remastering an already HD/60fps game that came out 2, 3 years ago.

Is it just me, or are the higher ups just keep saying/doing the wrong things lately at Sony?

I expect that shit from the dummies at Xbox, but Sony is sitting right there sharing a seat on the short bus with Xbox.

Direct quote from him where he's joking and having fun. And he says that playstation are making new games and that remakes/remasters are done by different teams that don't resources away from the main teams. OP being a troll once again.

Here's another direct quote from the interview btw. Everything he's saying makes complete sense and he didn't say anywhere in this interview that remakes/remasters are taking away from new games. OP being a playstation hater once again.

If you actually read the article and the interview you'd see that they're making new games and he literally says in the interview that remakes/remasters don't take resources away from making new games.

I feel like Sony has a steady enough stream of new IP, and if the remaster is good Win Win imo.

If the remasters aren’t as good, the quality of most of their first party offerings are still World Class, so I don’t mind waiting for them when they release

Bro i didnt pay for a ps5 and then for a ps5 pro to continuesly fuck around with remakes remasters.

The beginning of this gen or the first 3 years was nothing but crossgen games from sony.
And now its remakes and remaster.

Nearly 5 years in and they dare to say shit like this???

So where the fuck are the new games???

And i also bought thr psvr2 and sony released nothing but absolutely nothing on it. Oh it had guess what, another horizon game that is so shit my god. Got it with the bundle.

So excuse me but no

The absolute shittiness of the gaming industry, personified in one thread.

Your first party is shit. Your remasters are shit. Your system is shit. I have every remaster I need - it's called PCSX2, you money grubbing prick.

I have no issue with remasters.

But we don't need remasters of 5 year old games. Sony has a huge library of games and is only remastering PS4 era stuff.

There is a reason nobody has issue with how Capcom is doing it

People would knock down the doors for a GOW Greek saga remaster - they aren't showing up for a 2018 remaster. Naughty Dog remastering the Jak games to modern standards or even Uncharted 1 would be a lot more appealing than remastering TLOU1-2 over and over

Ans in the other thread sony just cancelled 2 more games.
One from bluepoint.

So mister yoshida.

How many remasters will it take to recoup this loss?

I am ready to by the next horizon remake

Yeah no. We've never had to subsidize your game development by buying remakes or remasters before. How about you give us some new stuff and new IPs and fuck right off with that attitude.

They can't remaster PS2 titles without reminding users how good the actual PS2 games still are.
Instead of remaking/remastering all of the great PS2 games PS needs to put updated PS2 HW back into PS consoles.
Studios could just add DualSense feedback to their existing PS2 games and sell them at full price.
Every time a PS2 game gets 'remastered' it causes masses of users to revert back to their PS2 or PCSX2 to replay the OG source game.

Agree that PS2 games shouldn't be 'remastered'.
If PS baked PS2 HW into the PS5 and studios added DualSense feedback to PS2 games they would be worth the same $60 as new PS5 games.
Making it full disc BC for PS2/1 games would sweeten the deal.
PS could make PS2/1 games load from NVME in the blink of an eye.

Who's fault is it that games cost so much to make?
PS was getting feedback from key studios like Konami et al back when PS2 game development costs were too high.
While PS game dev costs continue to rise the selling price of those games hasn't kept up with inflation.
PS needs to reopen existing dormant platforms like PS2 and PS1 that have lower game development costs.
