Yeah both Crash and Spyro were great when they were dine by Naughty Dog and Insomniac but they didn't hang onto the IP and the next gen bad sequels were made that dragged both series down

Nobody in their right mind would have cared about Crash 6: Bandicoot Boogaloo or Spyro 7: The Dragon's Dilemma; the original trilogies is where it's at.

Now if they don't gently caress it up, they could make new games and people would probably be interested in buying a new Crash or Spyro from the fellas that did those well loved remasters.

I want Spyro right now

No matter where Spyro goes in the future there's always going to be a super small yet strangely vocal subset of fans who are going to want his dragon girlfriend from the PS2 Era to make the jump with him.

It's like the same thing with Krystal from Star Fox.

They are very passionate about Cynder.

Keeping games available over platform changes is an inherent good to me, so I only have an issue with remasters when they blow like silent hill HD. Even something like skyrim annoying people is kinda weird to me tbh.

Yeah def, but it gets weird with stuff like Dark Souls remastered on PC being a paid upgrade to a game they never actually bothered to fix in the first place.

Oh yeah, the way devs handle "remasters" on PC can be incredibly weird. I think with bulletstorm they just put up the lovely duke dlc and jacked the price up to new release level.

I'm about 16 hours into Dark Souls 3 an it's fun and looks good but it doesn't seem anywhere near as interesting as the first one. At the cathedral with the huge smashy fist guys. Does it get better sometime soon? I got obsessed with the metroidy world in DS1 but never rated DS2 enough to finish it.

DS3 is a turd. The first two are great but not the third. It's the only DS game I played once and I even had to force myself to continue with that play through. Nothing about that game grabbed my interest. I too liked the world in the first game and DS3 is quite linear.

Enough with my probably controversial opinion.

If a PC port is done well it never needs a remaster, but there are many very bad PC ports.

They're all seriously flawed games that get specific things right that other, more polished but far less adventurous games constantly gently caress up, making them the only game in town for those purposes.

Dark Souls is really jittery on consoles performance-wise so I'm glad the remaster is a thing for people who don't play on the PC or who just want it on the Switch. I'd rather Demon's Souls get totally remade though because it's the jankest

I am so glad everybody gets to talk about Dark Souls again because I don't think I've yet gotten a exhaustive opinion on the series from all 39 people who still post on this forum. It's getting up there, but there's always room for more spicy hot takes and personal rankings.

I've only played four to completion but it's E&L>>>>Iris 2>Iris 1>>Iris 3

L&S is looking to sit between the good Irises. Maybe above Iris 2 if the story goes cool places.

My hot take on Dark Souls is that I played 1 and 3 and Bloodborne for a bit but they didn't hold my interest and Monster Hunter has better combat.

Monster Hunter needs to hurry the hell up and come out on PC, and with a mouse interface / controls at least as good as DS3's.
