It wouldn't impact the enjoyment of the game - but I mean what was the point of buying a PS4 if most of the AAA games thus far have been remasters, and the rest of the games have been delayed until late 2015 and some to 2016.

Bloodborne was the first game I bought for my PS4 since The Last of Us Remastered, which is pretty pathetic -- I finally had a reason to play it again. With that said, if anyone asked me if they should get a PS4 now, without hesitation I'd say no, because there aren't enough games worth playing for it right now.

I could have played all those games by buying a PS3 instead -- it's cheaper than a PS4, and the games are too. So while I don't mind a few remasters here and there the quantity of them is makes me wonder what was the point of buying a PS4 in April last year... I could have waited. Even now, I could have waited until the end of the year.

Let's count how many of the AAA games have been remasters:

The Last of Us
Borderlands*
Final Fantasy X/X-2
Metro Redux
Sleeping Dogs
Tomb Raider
DMC
Dark Souls 2
GTAV*
and soon to be God of War
any others I'm missing?

*these are kinda grey areas since the 'remasters' came out within a year for each of them, same with Last of Us

'New' Exclusive AAA games:

Knack
Killzone
inFAMOUS
The Order
Bloodborne
MLB The Show

Cross Gen/Non Exclusive AAA Games:

Alien Isolation
The Evil Within
Murdered Soul Suspect
Far Cry 4
Call of Duty/Battlefield titles
all the sports games (FIFA, Madden, NBA etc)
AssCreed Unity
AssCreed Black Flag
Thief
Dying Light
Dragon Age
Shadow of Mordor
Destiny
Watchdogs
Evolve
Wolfenstein

Compared to last generation, yes, we're seeing a lot more remasters, but there was always a demand to be able to play older games on the newer systems, and they've been removing backwards compatibility.

 

[SpoonyBard]

Great news for me, I never owned a PS3 and have only played a bit of a demo of some UC game.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Awesome awesome awesome!

 

[ComputerBlue]

Oh I really hope so. But they really need to include Golden Abyss.

 

[Elfstruck]

Compared to last generation, yes, we're seeing a lot more remasters, but there was always a demand to be able to play older games on the newer systems, and they've been removing backwards compatibility.

The cost of making AAA games has increased significantly, so we will see less new AAA games compared to last gen. Even Shuhei admitted that there will be not as many big games from WWS compared to previous gens.

Considering Golden Abyss wasn't developed by Naughty Dog, I see no reason to include it.

If trilogy is legit, you're in for a real treat.

Well that's pretty weird. Remasters on PS4/Xbone are usually much much less.

 

[JP]

Would be very happy to play these again.

I think the claims of there being more remasters so far this generation is misleading as it took over three years for the first "HD Collection" to hit. The fact that they were still being released last year is simply because the last generation proved that there is a market for things like this.

If people keep buying them and they're beneficial to the publishers and the people buying them then companies would be stupid not to keep selling them to the people who are happy to exchange money for the pleasure they get from playing them.

As I've said, I'll be very happy to buy and play these again, I'm really looking forward to them.

 

[kevin1025]

I imagine this will be one of the very few announcements before E3, and given a short trailer during the conference. September 29 for North America, the 30th for Europe sounds like a good time to release it, in between MGSV/Mad Max and the gamut of games that October will start bringing.

If it's the whole trilogy then I'm definitely on board.

"We've been saying that the number of AAAs might be getting smaller because the cost of development for AAAs is getting higher," he said. "But there are so many indie games and great games coming out almost every week or every other week. We're seeing it on PS4. I hope you're seeing it as well."

Besides the link provided above, this has been a long running sentiment for some time now from all levels of the game industry; press to developers to console manufacturers.

Also hard when you have heavy hitters like SSM/PD that have nothing announced 2 years into the console cycle.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I know, but it would be a nice incentive for those who already own the trilogy but never played golden abyss.

 

[The Artisan]

Not everyone lives in USA.

Also would rather play the ps3 versions than PS now.

psnow is only available in America?

And the psnow versions of the games are the Ps3 versions, more or less.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Sacrebleu!

 

[VaultBoy101]

As someone who has never played through an Uncharted game, I would welcome this. I've also been expecting it.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Looking forward to this as I never played the Uncharted games.

Day 1. HYPED.

 

[Red Hood]

I hope it's a rock-solid Remaster.

I'd rather have a rock-steady Remaster.. SWIDT..

Spoiler

GIVE US CONFIRMATION, WB

 

[GeoramA]

Shocking news.

Would be awesome if it came out in September, though.

 

[Carl]

Please, Karl. Just.... Please be don't be real.

Of course i'm honest. Drake's Fortune and Golden Abyss are my favourite Uncharted games.

 

[Doffen]

I'm down.

 

[EGOMON]

Like everyone else I would love an uncharted trilogy but honestly who is going to do it?
ND are busy with UC4 and I can't see ND giving their precious franchise to anyone else since they can't guarantee others quality work

Bluepoint are generally very good and no doubt would be handling this.

I'd imagine if Golden Abyss isn't with this they'll put it on PSN separately at some point too.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I enjoyed all 3 of these games but for some reason I have no desire to replay them. God of War's in the same boat.

EDIT - I'd play Golden Abyss on PS4 in a heartbeat. I have it on Vita but I just don't enjoy playing it there. Also, this is a no-brainer if you haven't played them all before.

 

[NullPointer]

So how big would the installed size be, something like 70GB+?

 

[mike4001_]

So how big would the installed size be, something like 70GB+?

lol

The PS3 games are about 20 + 23 + 48 GB = 91 GB

Then add high res textures to that ...

They would probably fill one 50 GB disc for each game.

Otherwise with one disc they would probably be looking at a 100 GB day one patch

Real time cutscenes instead of video could help in the opposite direction though, no idea how much I will admit it.

I am still waiting for Kid Icarus Uprising Wii U.

Wait for E3

Fuck the mutants in the first game.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Not as bad as the monkey things in UC2/

 

[VanWinkle]

If it's 1080p and 60fps, I will buy it the second it's available. If it's 1080p and 30fps I will think heavily about it.

But, above all else, I am really excited, because these are some of my favorite games ever...assuming this is true, which I have no reason to believe otherwise.

Alright, this is obviously happening. Definitely will buy.

If they can get TLOU to 1080/60 then this will definitely be 1080/60.

Youre missing Saints Row 4 and The Master Chief Collection from the Remasters list

True, unless they outsource the ports.

BLUEPOINT!?!!!!!

Are you out of your mind?? That would be a disaster.

didn't BluePoint do the metal gear remasters? I thought they were phenominal. I thought that they actually rip the disc and rebuild it from the ground up, unlike the team that did the silent hill remakes...

God of War III
