. You even made my point for me that the PS5 will be backwards compatible and therefore we won't NEED a remaster.
"we"??? huh?
Buddy...speak only for you. I'm not telling you to buy it or not buy it etc. Thats your business. The issue you have is you seem to have this obsession with trying to force your own views on purchasing games on others. If you don't want to buy a remaster, special edition, definitive edition etc, thats up to you, not "WE".
enjoy buying the same product twice
? Maybe thats what you get for not reading....
"So I have no plans to buy this game on PS5"
Thats probably why you even think this is about me wanting it a PS5 version or something, if you don't read, how can anyone take anything you say seriously? Soooooo I made it pretty clear I'm not buying any PS5 version they release in the future, simply that I don't care if someone else does or if they even release one.
I don't even know how it could be the same product twice, the current PS4 version has ray tracing? 4k 60fps? enhanced models? Sooooo can you even answer how that can be seen as "twice" if that actually isn't what the PS4 version is?
Thats like saying you are buying the same product "twice" of a film cause you have a VHS copy and a bluray version came out.
OHHHHH you owned Titanic in 4K with behind the scenes and a whole documentary of the making of it...ON VHS? soooooo thats a far stretch to argue that is "twice" bud. You are not talking about the same product.
Developers have no ode to work for free, by that logic CDPR is greedy cause APEX is free, shouldn't we be singing the praises of EA? Let me guess, only developers you like should get paid and charge for games huh? smh. You can't have this one both ways. Developers do different things yes, its not a one size fits all though, that is just a silly assumption that even questions why CDPR CHARGED for their season pass!! Yet EA has several games with all free DLC and no season passes? No one publisher is some saint man, relax on this whole "ohhhhh but this publisher did" etc.
I think its great when any publisher gives a game for free, or free dlc and no season pass or gives free upgrades etc, but I don't go around arguing for it to be the standard and ALL DEVELOPERS should do it or anything silly like that.

Very likely. I wouldn't doubt it. Simply that we'll see many patch their existing games and we'll see remasters too. Folks need to stop thinking that remasters existing has anything to do with BC...
We got ports of PS1 titles on PS3 and PS3 was NATIVE to PS1. Having the system, doesn't mean you have the game. So I still expect many remasters, special editions with extras etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they'll just be saying stuff like "ray tracing edition" lol So I don't doubt we'll see patches for free, I also see remasters still happening as a market still exist for them. Many will own a PS5 that never bought a PS4 and when a game even gives a free patch for some upgrades, they might just buy the PS5 remaster edition that has ray tracing or something. I don't fault any developer for making a remaster as this is still a business.
Who am I to demand a developer work for free on features that clearly took time and cost money to make? So I'm fine with those that give it for free, its awesome when that happens, but I respect developers enough to pay them for their work if they charge cause the features clearly took time and money to create.
Will gladly accept it, will not selfishly demand it. Games are not free to make folks.
