Do we even need remasters/remakes?

Hell, I even had issues with the recent Dead Space remaster. I played through the original game, I don’t need to buy it twice. That’s really what remasters are looking to do, another excuse to sell the game (at full price) for marginal audio and visual upgrades. Also, an attempt to keep the series relevant while we wait for the second season of the show on HBO.
I’d much rather have Naughty Dog devs work on the next Last of Us game itself rather than a retread of what they’ve already done. – Quetzalcoatl
Unless I’ve never played it or the game has outdated mechanics and graphics and also hard to access, I’m not too interested in a remake or remaster. I may still check it out when it’s discounted but I’m also not the kind of gamer that wants everything remade instead of something new. So I know I’m in the minority, at least judging from my experience. – boobsandbacon
