Should a remake or remaster just deliver the same game so people can play it on newer systems? GT5 f.ex.

Or should they expand on the original story and ideas a d deliver a game based on the original, but expanded to take full advantage of the newer technology? Final Fantasy 7 f.ex.

And should we be paying for them?

Minor remasters that should just be offered as free patches or larger remasters that take more time and effort.

Should we have to pay again for a game we only just purchased within thy last couple of years?

How often should developed remaster or remake games?

Has current gaming fallen mostly into a state of most modernity? We hardly see a new idea and haven't seen a completely new concept in a long time. Wev moved thought the glory days of video games in the 80s. With the 16bit era we saw so many new genres being invented and expanded. Since Doom and the FPS what have we seen that's completely original and new? For the most part each new hardware generation since the PS1 has only offered better version of what already came before.

I suppose the newest completely new genre was possibly Horror with games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill revolutionising the genre and for thy first time making it rmtruly scary or uneasy. But that's really for another discussion.
