There's nothing stopping you from playing new games, and every console generation has had ports of older games. The only thing new nowadays is that people like to complain about it on the internet.

Exactly what I was going to type. I missed a ton of PS3 games so I'm OK with this.
Why? It's a quick and easy way to bring games to the system, giving those who haven't played them opportunity to do so, while those who already played them don't miss anything. Development costs are rather low, and development can be outsourced to small, external teams. The profit made from remasters can be invested into the development of new games, which, as we all know, is expensive. So I don't see how remasters hinder the development of new games. In fact, they support it.
Everybody wins. Keep them coming. (Same is true for Xbox.)
Where the hell she at Sony?
Can't be long now. Please.
Isn't that exactly why they should do it?

Not sure why this doesn't work on Vita TV with the controller based touch controls. Although if it does come to PS4 it's a definite buy.

Yeah, because instead Armature and Iron Galaxy would be working on their AAA game instead right now.

I'd be down with resistance 1-3 remaster
Needs online play though and should be $40 max

That's exactly what they are doing and they are selling a lot of consoles and games with this strategy.
I think a lot of their first party efforts hit some speed bumps so they have to fill out their lineup with games, whether they be remasters or extensive third party deals.

Demon Souls would need more than a remaster. It's still a brilliant game, but it didn't age amazingly well.
I don't think there is a need for it with all the other Souls games coming out.

Yes. I think many people missed it on ps3.
They are easier and faster to make. But I agree, they need more new games.
I'd like a Ratchet and Clank (PS3) collection on PS4.
I've never understood this attitude. Releasing one remastered PS3 game doesn't mean subtracting one regular PS4 release.
I am not really worried by this when you consider that both Uncharted and GoW3 were both farmed out to other developers (Blue Point & Wholesale Algorithm)
If they stopped new 1st party games then I might have an issue.

Demon's Souls needs to be remastered, seriously.
You know what would be nice to but will never happen ? Yakuza 1-5 on PS4.
Also: 1st party studios are working on new games, remasters are being outsourced. So no resources are wasted (Bluepoint is taking care of the UC collection while ND is making UC4).

Oh this drought of games! Until Dawn, Tearaway, Everybody Goes To The Rapture, Sengoku Basara 4, Tomorrow Children, and Sony exclusive stuff like Dragon Quest Heroes!
Oh how you tease us, Sony, by promising games and not releasing anything outside my constantly extending goalposts!

RDR! I'm really ashamed to admit that I never got around to play this on PS3. I still have it, but my PS3 is gathering dust. :/
Also Heavy Rain. (But this was announced already, right?)

I really want Toyama back to Horror.
The genre is in dire need, after Silent Hills was canned.
It's using the Rage engine, same as GTA4/5 and MP3.

This better means that a Motorstorm Anthology is coming.
I could see Shadow of the Colossus being remade as an introduction to The last Guardian too.

We know the PS4 remaster is happening since the Korean ratings boarded had a posting for it. I'm guessing it'll be announced at TGS alongside the sequel.
Speaking of GR, Toyama and Naoko Sato (GR's story/scenario/event designer) did a livestream yesterday for Siren

Armature was a bad example since they're working on Recore.
It would bomb again. Same as Tearaway is going to bomb again.

Gravity Rush remaster is almost certainly happening.

It's not all. A remaster can be done relatively cheaply and relatively quickly by a studio like Bluepoint who excels at making ports. A brand new game for a new platform by a AAA studio would cost a lot more and take a lot more time.
Edit: sorry for the dogpile, I didn't realize 80,000 other posters were going to say basically the same thing

You're totally right. Rather than having some additional remasters on the release schedule it would be better if there was just nothing.
You're complaining about a drought in the same sentence and can't even follow your own logic.

Demon's Souls is the only one that's needed.
They fucked up Metal Gear Solid 3. Didn't they fuck up Zone of The Enders as well? Hexadrive fixed zoe 2 on ps3 at least. Bluepoint is the last company I want making remasters/ports.

You don't know what you're talking about.
MGS3 HD is perfect, and Bluepoint didn't do ZOE.

One of the many amazing exclusives they probably should have saved for the PS4 instead of sending them to die at the very end of the generation

What ? What did they fuck up in MGS3 ? Can you elaborate?
Bluepoint is one of the best studios when it comes to remasters and ports.

I would love some PS2 remasters/ports. Like Gitaroo Man or something. I don't need to play a lot of the last gen stuff again.
I've only encountered 1 scenario where the framerate dropped. That's while playing split-screen during shit tons of action. Otherwise the framerate was/is rock solid.
2009 seems pretty long ago to me.
