Well I haven’t played those games and I probably would if they remaster them. I didn’t have a PS4 so I’m kinda the target audience.

Keep in mind that a remaster is not comparable to creating a new game or even a remake like RE4. This is low-effort and high-yield, so expect to see more of it.

I see this all the time on Lenny but it’s so pervasive it’s annoying now (“this” meaning people whining about things they’re not the target of). You’re 100% right. These are easier ways for studios to make back money via a newer target audience. They’re not meant for people who have already played the games. Not every product is for everyone and companies will definitely try to squeeze every dollar out of work already done that they can.
