A game that’s less than six years old?

Will every Sony-published PS4 game get a remaster before the one players really want?

To be fair, six years is kind of a long time.

And, well, I guess it did.

That isnt the case anymore.

Instead, their profits help fund them.

Thats the purpose remasters serve.

Theyre a stopgap between the games you actually bought the console to play.

To that, I would say,Okay.

For a long time, I felt like this was just how things had to be.

The games were getting better, and that justified the lengthening development cycles.

But I just dont think thats true anymore.

Weve hit a graphical plateau.

If anything, games are too long and too big.

We dont need more.

We need less and better.

Remasters arent the obstacle.

But they are a symptom.
