I don't know if I want present-day Rockstar revisiting Bully. Their creative "attitude" has shifted so much since the PS2 days, and the thought of a srs bsns version of Bully scares me. Outsource it to the Saints Row guys IMO; they're still making games in the PS2 Rockstar tone, just dialed up a bit.
Fuck no.
I like the trend of remakes so long as the games are actually good in the first place and it doesn't impact production of new quality IPs.
Remakes are dubious propositions. With old games I theoretically like the idea of "making them look they were supposed to look" but I think they rarely get the time/money/care that's necessary.
This was brought up elsewhere, but I don't dislike the idea of classy, boutique Criterion Collection-style releases for newer hardware, cleaned up and with extras and nice packaging. Sort of like Sega Ages was. I feel like there's probably a market for that, but most companies seem fine with just using their old games for easy extra revenue as downloadable or shoved onto cheap collections.
I'm playing TLOU on the PS3 now. It's pretty obvious that this game is demanding more from the PS3 hardware than it is capable of delivering. There are several sections of this game that become a slide show, once the action becomes too much for the PS3 to handle. I've already picked up the PS4 version from Target ($34) and plan on playing it once I get a PS4 for Christmas.
Yeah, I agree that we don't need a bunch of Xbox 360 and PS3 ports to the next generation consoles. But, there are a few exceptions that need to be considered. The PS2 games definitely deserved to be ported to the PS3, since the console had a lot of blurry interlaced games that deserved better.
