I don’t mind the remasters, because I’m too young to have actually played any of the remastered games when they were released. So, I played Oblivion Remastered, and that’s the only way I would’ve ever know about it. I thought that Skyrim was just a legendary standalone game that people loved (I’ve still never played it). I can see it as a waste of time for the studio and a ridiculous cashgrab as well, especially for the people that played the originals.
I don’t mind remasters if they are that - remasters. Faithful graphical updates to the originals (e.g. Halo 2 Anniversary). But a lot of the time they are janky remakes instead by outsourced development for as cheap as possible. They usually end up as insults to the originals.
Probs because they are usually outsourced for cheap with little direction from the main studio, “as long as its good enough”. And/or the main studio has completely changed since the original and they just dont have the same respect for it.

The problem I have with remasters is how they fundamentally change the art direction so often.
They’re good supplements to their original, but I don’t think they’re fit replacements.
Agreed.
