I think it’s high time that we really start pushing for this – politely and logically of course – given that these games have been stranded on 7th generation consoles for well over a decade now, despite being some of the best games that the publisher had put out in that entire generation. We here at GamingBolt have no reason to believe that a Dead Space remastered collection is presently being worked on at any stage at any level and that is utterly disappointing. But it seems like they’re going to be the last – if it ever does happen. Given all of that you would think Electronic Arts would be the first ones to come up with the idea of a Dead Space remastered trilogy. So, the case for releasing remastered and remade versions of old games pretty much makes itself. Maybe they were young and just weren’t playing games when the original game came out or maybe they were just playing on a system that didn’t have that game for whatever reason, in either case it’s nice to give people ways to play games without necessarily having to lug out old hardware, look past dated visuals and fumble around with outdated controls. Secondly it also helps players in that people who might not have gotten around to playing it last time around can now enjoy a version that’s closer to their expectations of what games of today look, sound, and play like. all of the costs of making that game have already been spent many years ago, so it really only cost them what it takes to get that game touched up and re-released, which has fractions of what it cost to actually make a game. They make a fair amount of extra money on a game that was already made, so that means there is relatively very little overhead for the folks putting it out. These remasters are extremely useful for everyone involved. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered turned out really well and it’s looking like the Mass Effect trilogy is getting a much-needed facelift as well.
Now, we do on occasion get remakes and remasters of classic games from EA and most of the time they are fine. Unfortunately, it seems that the opposite is actually closer to the case. Given that EA has such a massive backlog of excellent games and legions of players who fondly remember most of them, you would think the game publishing giant would be churning out remasters and remakes around the clock.
