One generation, at least

Nobody asked me but I think it should at least skip a gen before it’s time to remaster. Gen over gen is a bit much. And for all the folks happy to pay the 10 bucks without criticism, PC games are regularly remastered and don’t charge for the upgrade. It’s almost a given on PC. – ClenchMask
If it’s a single console generation (PS4 to PS5) it should be a free texture pack, if the console has backward compatibility. A remake should require at least one console generation between. So PS4 games would be remade as brand-new versions for the PS6. Remaking a game that’s still new enough to be part of the modern cultural zeitgeist feels greedy. – Hnetu Matakai
