Apparently in 2024, what's old will be new again. Looking back at what has been released so far, I'm looking forward to to what comes outyou do discover the flood Number of video game remakes and remasters this year. As games become increasingly expensive to develop, take longer to produce, and are more risky to produce, the video game industry appears to be fully embracing safer strategies. The idea is to reheat leftovers that people already like and sell that stuff instead.
Of course, 2024 isn't the first time there's been multiple remakes and remasters. 2023, his 2022, and other previous years also had their fair share of re-released games. But this year, it feels like the floodgates have completely opened and the industry is drowning in remakes and remasters of popular games. So, so far in 2024, we've already seen. three different classics Star Wars game-Battlefront, Battlefront IIand dark forces— will be remastered and released on consoles and PC in the coming weeks.

You may have missed a few, but that still means over 30 remasters or remakes in one year. Basically once every two weeks. It does not include collections that contain multiple games.like Tomb Raider I-III–-This will further inflate this number.
Why is the industry reinventing everything?
And now I understand why so many games are re-released. Games are difficult and expensive to make.and many of them are Five or six live service hits sucks all the oxygen out of the room.. It's natural for the industry to look back, as Hollywood has done for decades, to take old hits and beloved classics and remake and repackage them for a new audience. . That's not only because these remasters and remakes are often cheaper and faster to produce, but also because they seem less risky to investors and people at the top of the company.
“People already love tomb raider. Clean it up, add some new features and sell it again. ” Probably the type of executive planning that is happening in many studios and publishers today.
I don't begrudge anyone working on these remasters or remakes. I also think that remasters and remakes are worthy endeavors in their own right and are worth playing. but, As pointed out earlier, when people are working on remasters and remakes, it means they aren't getting a chance to do something new. That's a shame. It's also a shame that so many people seem to want to spend money on a remaster rather than a brand new game. But as the price of games continues to rise,I think it's getting harder and harder to justify spending $70 on something new and different when the things you loved are back at half the price.
After all, remasters and remakes flooding the market may be something we have to get used to going forward. Games are only getting more expensive and bigger. Risk has a cost.Instead, here is lollipop chainsaw Also.
