There are like RE4 Remake, which I've finished recently, but it's a pretty rare occasion. I talk about all those legendary classic games. First Twisted Metal, Burnout Takedown - games like that
Is it like evil greed problem?

 

[MidGenRefresh]

They're constantly remaking all the classics. I'm not sure what planet you're on.

 

[BennyBlanco]

That's the one thing we need more of, remakes.

 

[Represent.]

No thanks. Give us sequels instead

I mean like all the time. How many 80 and 90 games have been remade in the last 10 years

You're forgetting those amazing 70s games. Those were the days. We need more remakes of them.

 

[TintoConCasera]

More new games, less remakes please.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Ever heard of Nintendo?

 

[yurinka]

Why they are not constantly remaking all the classics - all the time?

Because it would costs way more money than the one it would generate.

Publishers are companies that invest their money trying to get revenue growth and profit, aren't a charity.

 

[Spyxos]

Do we really need even more?

That's the problem
If the world would be full of God we would get the games all the fucking time

 

[Ainem Enamas]

Do we really need even more?

Yes, as maybe smaller budget remakes

 

[Deerock71]

No sense doing it if you don't make money on the current iteration.

 

[Brakum]

Because those require a decent amount of work. Instead they can remake a game from like 5 years ago for a lot less money, and you guys still buy them.

 

[diffusionx]

A remake costs the same amount in time and resources as a brand new game. We are already getting them constantly.

Yes, as maybe smaller budget remakes

What exactly is a smaller budget remake

Like give an example. Preferably one that is good.

In that case where are the modern remakes that matter the most:

Metal Gear Solid 1
Metal Gear Solid 2
Metal Gear Solid 4
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Chrono Trigger
Chrono Cross
Valkyrie Profile
Valkyrie Profile 2
The Legend of Dragoon
Parasite Eve
Parasite Eve 2
Dino Crisis
Dino Crisis 2
Zone of the Enders
Zone of the Enders 2
Vagrant Story
Resident Evil 1
Legacy of Kain
SSX
SSX: Tricky
SSX 3
GTA: San Andreas (the proper remake, not that remaster crap)
Digimon World 3
Dark Cloud
Dark Cloud 2
Radiata Stories
Baten Kaitos
Xenogears
Xenosaga trilogy
Tales of the Abyss
Devil May Cry

... etc...

Yeah, we are getting remakes (from time to time; let's not pretend that there is really so many of them, when it's not), but that is still the big fat nothing, considering that they aren't what people were asking for years now.)

 

[PlayStaytion]

Good writers are rare these days. I wouldn't mind a mass effect remake from bioware, I really don't care.

You typed all this yourself? What's wrong with you?

Spoiler

SSX 3 is already perfect. It doesn't need a remake.

 

[justiceiro]

Why remake when you can just remaster? Cheaper and sells the same.

 

[tr1p1ex]

I see Ms Pacman machines everywhere.

 

[Liopleurodon]

Ah, I see...

You are yet another one of those very specific "The original still holds up, remake is unnecessary." type of people...

You know, the kind that uses the word "need" when it comes to remakes, being completely oblivious as to why exactly people are asking for remakes in the first place.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Ah, I see...

No you don't.

 

[Liopleurodon]

No you don't.

Yes, I do.

I've seen quite a few people like you already, and for a while now you guys were getting on my nerves.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Yes, I do.

Maybe you're the problem? You think you're so smart, like you can read people and put them in boxes based on one post, but you're not. Try taking some breathing lessons if you have trouble controlling your nerves.

Mwah!

and i'm also want to write this few moment ago...
Square will remake anything but FFIX or FFVI
in the contrary they will keep milking VII

Wasn't Link's Awakening pretty low budget?
Before actually making the remake, cutting off, maybe, not necessary extras. I recently finished RE4 Remake, but if they would reduce the dev-cost, carefully plan what to remove...simpler cutscenes, less detailed environments etc
