Remember in 2012 when sony sold us a bundle of 5 god of war games for $40 and now ten years later we get the last of us part 1 for $70. Modern gaming sure is fun :)

[@thedarkemissary]

Remember how you (someone who never played Last of Us) paid $60 for Last of Us as a new game? (PS3) Now people (who have never played Last of Us) can pay $70 for Last of Us as a new game. (PS5) Or they and you can wait 4 months for it to become a $40 game. I really don't understand how you people can complain. You literally have no argument. You have no stakes. You either already own it, so what do you care about waiting. Or you don't plan to get it again, so what do you care about how much it costs.

[@Alex-ex8ob]

@@thedarkemissary Look, I don't want to argue with you. I'm just saying the remake of tlou does not need to be $70. Many remakes and remasters, and even collections like the crash and spyro trilogies were $40, and those offered more than what the remake of tlou offers. The game isn't even 10 years old, it didn't need a remake, it had a perfectly fine remaster on PS4 that is still accessible. Understand that people are upset because instead of remaking games that could benefit from remakes, or making a new game, they do things like these. There needs to be a limit.

[@Doge10YT]

.....Uh, the God of War games already existed lol. The HD versions were quick ports and touch-ups. Last of Us Part 1 is a remake for PS5 gen. It can't use the old assets so they have to rebuild. It more or less has the budget of a new IP.

You can either: A) Get the PS4 version, which is playable on both PS4 and PS5, comes with the PS5 upgrade, and possibly costs less than the PS5 version. or B) Get the PS5 version, which is the same game, but only playable on the PS5.

Hands down the best collection/remaster of this generation has to be Halo MCC. It was really rough at launch but now, being able to play all 6 games plus with their respective multiplayers and being able to queue up for any of them is fantastic. Aswell as the recent addtion of playing custom games. Makes you really feel like you didnt miss anything from the original titles. Sure with other remasters and collections, they let you play just the story, but they also miss the community from the original game and the reason why people loved the game

[@GammaBeta656]

Not to mention with the recent shutdown of all 360 online services, were it not for the MCC, the online multiplayer community for Halo 3, 4 and Reach wouldve been gone for good (save for some niche communities potentially running private servers). With the MCC, not only can you revisit the classic and iconic Halo CE and 2 multiplayer (already long gone by now on the original Xbox), you can continue to play Halo 3, Halo 4 and Halo Reach online as if nothing happened.

Scott talking about Playstation games is great!

[@SuspiciousScout]

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I always advocate for remasters/re-releases being done. I got to experience SO many games from past generations due to this, as someone who grew up strictly on Nintendo consoles. The Crash Bandicoot Trilogy, Spyro Trilogy, Uncharted Trilogy, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Mega Man Classic/X Legacy Collection, I can keep going all day. So I always support remasters, I see them as inoffensive/harmless at worst.

[@adamcunningham9947]

Same, it always helps me with games I missed the chance to play like Stubbs the Zombie for example or MediEvil especially since it is now my favourite video game ever and you can unlock the original PS1 version by completing a side task in the remake.

[@itsonlyme112]

Spyro and Crash are a different case because they were remakes rather than a remaster

[@ocarinadude762]

This is absolutely nothing wrong with them inheritly, the problem is companies charging more then what they are worth. All of remasters recently are only a generation or 2 old and have very little to no improvements. That is specifically the kind of “remaster” Scott is talking about.

[@SuspiciousScout]

@@itsonlyme112 The graphics were remade, yes, but the games still control and play exactly how they did back then (at least for the most part, minor differences here and there). That's why I still lumped them in because they're mostly exactly the same, unlike the brand new Crash 4 which is just it's own experience.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

For me, it was games like Grim Fandango that made me appreciate remasters.

[@ogmasterslay]

Scott, you know since you owned uncharted 4/lost legacy you could've gotten Uncharted Legacy of Theves for 10 us$? If you put either game disk in, you could've bought the game digitally for really cheap. I'm not sure if Sony is still doing this, but it is how I got the game, since I had uncharted 4 already.

Technically, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart can only run on PS5 because the fast storage is required for the "rifts between levels" to function without a loading screen.

9:44 that’s exactly how I feel. I treat my PS5 like a PS4 Pro Max since I don’t have any games that really take advantage of the hardware (Alan Wake 2 and Spider-Man 2 for example). If we get a PS5 Pro that’ll probably feel like true next gen. Maybe 4K 60fps minimum or more 120fps.

The gap between consoles in terms of visuals is reaching the point where you barely tell the difference because a lot of the games are still using the same engines as games from the previous gen and games with hyper realistic graphics have kinda already hit their ceiling or close to it.

[@damndanieI]

That's why I won't buy the PS6. The difference between current generation and next generation will be even smaller, so I think there will be many new games on PS5 even when the next generation has been out for a while

[@patrykpatty5835]

For me most of these remasters are just these games coming to PC for the first time. And if they are gonna go through the trouble of releasing them for PC it makes sense to put them on ps5 as well

[@nutmegandpeach]

The only noticeable difference for me with the Uncharted 4 PS5 remaster was 60fps boost. It's annoying that I had to pay 60 dollars for what was essentially a 60fps patch (which the Last of Us Part II got for free) but it makes a huge difference to me. I know it's a first world problem but 30fps makes my eyes bleed lol. It seems like 60fps is the new standard with this new generation and I hope that keeps going

The problem with something like Legacy of Thieves collection is that if it was any other publisher, an update that minor would be released as a free update. But with Sony, it costs $50 USD.

[@RandomBoo256]

Scott's being misleading, It was a $10 update for all owners of the PS4 version. In fact, if you only owned one game it'll give you the other for no extra cost. It's actually a great deal. I only owned Uncharted 4 and buying LL alone would have cost $10, so for $10 getting it and a remaster of U4 was incredible.

[@aoBubs]

*$10

[@barkevc]

To be fair FFVIIR is the only title in that PS5 batch that offered a free upgrade for all those features. Episode Yuffie was $20. If I wanted to play Spider-Man remastered at launch I would have to pay $70 for what should be a free upgrade and an expansion that builds upon its base mechanics less effectively than the thing I paid $20 for.

The Cowabunga Collection I kinda understand if both versions are the same price, people just like to have certain covers for consistency's sake. Also with FF7R, it had a completely new DLC scenario and I don't think I ever heard of a previous gen game having next gen DLC so it makes sense they went the whole "upgrade route" with that. Stuff like Uncharted though having an entirely new collection with very slight changes at 50 bucks when they could easily just make heavily discounted ports of each just with the PS5 box art is a bit of a headscratcher, ngl.

[@flashpoint7231]

Uncharted Collection was a $10 upgrade if you owned U4 (which can be bought for $6 used). It included Lost Legacy a new game and a free Uncharted movie ticket at launch. Also personally the 60+FPS, DualSense, loading times, graphics were worth it for someone who hadn’t played them before. These remasters are much better than PS4 gen simply because most have a paid upgrade path except TLOU Part 1 which I think had an outrageous price to buy again.

[@yashwardhansingh4787]

What really makes me mad is that no one really cared to do this when generational leaps really mattered. Like it would've so cool if GBC games were remade for GBA or PS1 games for PS2. Another thing that's beyond me is the wild obsession of polygon count and fps. Like when last of us was "remade" everyone was bullshiting about how it feels like a "modern" game now.

I’m interested in getting Metroid Prime Remastered for Switch. Mostly because I never played the original GameCube version in the first place. That’s what happened with Skyward Sword HD. I never played the original Wii version so that’s why I got it for Switch and loved it. So remasters/ports for new consoles can be decent ways of reselling the old game to new players that never played it the first time. Especially if the original was on a now obsolete console.

I was hoping the whole universal PS4/XB1 backwards compatibility thing on PS5/XBSX would mean we’d see less repackaged remasters of 5 year old games, and more new games that actually take advantage of the new hardware. Guess easy money is just easier 💀

[@tiredhippo82]

We consumers really need to start getting pissy about partial collections…if you’re going to ask us to pay for old games, give us more complete collections, the whole series plus spin offs.

as a guy who skipped ps4/xbox one era, now havin a ps5 I adore some of those ps5 remakes, notably ghost of tsushima directors cut and last us part 1. I never played either of those games before this gen, so experiencing them for the first time in this gen is pretty awesome with all the ps5 gimmicks.

[@HKT-4300]

I feel like FF7R and Legacy of Thieves collection are kind of bad examples as it actually showcases something really good introduced in this generation, that being upgrade paths, Itergrade was a literal free upgrade, just intermission cost a little extra which was understandable considering the quality of it. And Legacy of thieves collection also had an upgrade path for 10 bucks for both PS4 discs, meaning you got one of the 2 games free if you didn't own the other game already. Both games run and play significantly better, Uncharted and FF7R both were miracles on PS4 and espeically FF7R was absolutely held back by the hardware, Uncharted uses great motion blur so the lower framerate isn't that noticable, but going from 1080 30 to 4k 60 / 1080 120 on both isn't a minor upgrade i'd say, definitely worth a small upfgrade fee (as long as it's no more than 10 bucks) plus remember it's not like they're wasting years of development time on them, these games were both developed with higher fidelity in mind. And selling them at a more expensive price is defintely no not immeditely devalue the IP, Nintendo is very cautous with discounts or ports for the same reason. It also shows that they're trying to get a great experience across the board, the PC versions for all 4 games you showed being a thing is definitley a factor in some of these definitve editions happening currently.

[@aoBubs]

I thought uncharted was 1440p 60fps, 4K 30 fps, 1080p 120 fps

[@HKT-4300]

@@aoBubs yeah I was wrong on that, there have been updates to unlock the framerate so rn it’s at about 4k 40fps with freesync, still a considerable upgrade imo, for 5 bucks there’s no reason not to upgrade if you have the chance

[@Muxeroth]

The ps4 lo was limited to 1080/60, there were no 120 fps games on ps4

The good thing about the Uncharted 4 Remastered was the fact that with 10 bucks I got the dlc and the visual upgrades. Didn't own the dlc so it was worth

whoopee! I cannot wait to avoid my responsibilities to listen to Scott talk about random games!!

[@gamertoon8230]

I highly disagree on when you said Ratchet and Clank Rift apart isn’t that big of a jump from the 2016 game. Rift Apart literally takes full advantage of the PS5’s SSD instant load times that they literally turned it into a mechanic. The instant switching wouldn’t have really worked on PS4 unless you had a giant load screen at the beginning of the game. Also the environments and models are giant improvement from the 2016 game, to the point where Ratchets ps4 model looks off, especially with the subpar fur shading.

[@RodaMoonknight]

Pretty sure the "Rifts" effect has been done before as well as shown on Psychonauts 2. If you mean like Fur textures and so on sure, that's next gen and maybe the triggers and Dualsense vibrations but the game overall could be done on ps4. Look at Returnal and how it'll be on PC. It can be done, just like any brand, they try to sell you on with smart talk. The SSD is indeed fast, but we haven't seen a game that actually uses it to a full capacity because most games already feel like ps4 games enhanced. Even more when games weight a lot even if they said they could compress it, look at Horizon Forbidden west

[@StoinkyDoinky831]

Although a newer and more well optimized versions of 7th gen games is great, it would've been even nicer if the Xbox one and PS4 just launched with backwards compatibility and focused on games that were actually new.

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

I'm happy to see so many games being kept up so people can continue to experience them. Even if it's definitely about the money, it seems to at least be some form of preservation by legitimate means. AND im very happy they brought it to pc. But it's crazy how often they do this. The big benefit in my opinion for all these stupid remasters (I could already play these games on PS5....) is that they often use this as a grounds to also bring it to pc.

[@apathynoises6456]

I think we're underestimating how much help a lot of the more casual gamers need to buy a game. A good portion of people who play on consoles but don't pay actually attention to games don't understand backwards compatibility and won't buy a game at all if they don't see a PS5 version. I remember a few years ago Microsoft was releasing stats about play times on Xbox One, and the vast majority didn't actually use the Xbox 360 backcompat function at all, even though that was positioned as a big selling point.

[@lolmanftw5655]

I think most of the PS4 to ps5 is due to the PC ports were if the PC port was just released with improved graphics people would just get mad that they can't have that version for the ps5 and due to PC testing they can get the ps5 copies out earlier look at Spiderman the 2 games were a ps5 pack in but seperate on pc

[@CitrusRev]

I like the recent remasters because they're being released alongside the games coming to pc for the first time. So if pc players get all of the upgrades, why wouldn't the console players, so they just release it on pc as the game itself and then as a remaster on console. Also, I think they're great as a fan too, cause I get to experience the game again in a better way. Also tlou remaster looks genuinely so much better than it use to and it looks so gorgeous. So I don't mind the recent remasters....Also you DON'T have to buy them if you don't want to. Some people need to grasp that

[@puparn93]

The issue is the install base these games are being released on ps4 and ps5 because the install base for ps5 is so low.

I only got my ps5 back in July, and only did cause my ps4 was barely hanging in there. I've enjoyed my time with the console but I'm waiting for a game that will truly make the ps5 stand out.

All I got from this segment of Scott's Stash is that I should buy God of War III Remastered despite owning the PS3 original. Also, I had no idea the Saga collection exists.

Unfortunately some of the games in that collection are download codes and by now the codes have expired, so the collection is a lot small as a result. I just picked up a ps3 for the first time and was hoping to pick up a sealed copy and was disappointed to learn this. I ended up getting the gow 1 + 2 bundle instead as a result
