For me, it's Bloodborne (what a surprise, I know). I finished the game when it came out and put well over 100 hours into it, but I never played the DLC since I'd finished the game by the time it came out.

I'm very tempted to replay it with the advantages the Pro could bring, but if a remake came out after that, it's very unlikely I'd play it a third time. I just don't have that much time to spend on one game.

MGS4 is another one. It's been a looooong time since I played that one. I still have the disk and a working PS3, but it would be awesome to play it at a higher resolution and frame rate. Twilight Princess is in there as well (except I never actually played that one when it came out).



What about you? Are there any games you've held off on playing because you think a better version might come out? Or would you rather play the versions that are out there right now?

 

[Cakeboxer]

Waiting doesn't make much sense unless a remake/remaster was already announced.

 

[poppabk]

Well yes for replay on System Shock 2.

 

[DelireMan7]

I don't care for graphical or perfomance issue. So remasters does nothing to me. I'll play remaster if I haven't play the original game since it's probably more accessible.

Regarding remake, a potential or even announced remake makes me want to play the original first even more to compare to the remake.

So no, I never stop playing a game because a new version might come.

I recently stop playing Vagrant Story and hope for a remaster or remake, but it's was due to the fact that gameplay was too frustrating after 15 hours and it really needs some adjustment to make it more user friendly to navigate all its systems.

I will wait for my Final Fantasy Tactics remaster until I die.

 

[LectureMaster]

If it's replay that makes sense.
If it's something you never played, then sounds weird to me to put off because of a remake that hasn't existed yet.

 

[bender]

I put off playing Resident Evil 4 Remake because of this.

 

[Sethbacca]

Fallout 1/2. I've tried playing them but the interface and gameplay just feel so archaic at this point. How have these not been remade at this point with the popularity of the franchise after 3?

 

[Shifty1897]

I just play the best version of whatever I want to play. No point in waiting for a remake or remaster if one isn't announced or out.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Waiting doesn't make much sense unless a remake/remaster was already announced.

I'd disagree here. For instance, even though they're technically not remakes or remasters, there are some PS5 games I've held off on playing because I knew the PS5 Pro would be coming out, and the experience was going to be better on that system. I took a break from my FFVII Rebirth playthrough for this reason. Same with Elden Ring.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

I’ll do this with the next Horizon game probably.

Just wait 2/3 years for the remake

 

[analog_future]

Yep. All the MGS games, Code Veronica, and RE1 for me.

 

[Rush2112]

Enjoy never playing bloodborne again.

Okay that's not what you asked though. I am waiting to play Cyberpunk until I upgrade my GPU to one that can run it in Overdrive mode, waiting for hardware upgrades is not the same as waiting for a remake or remaster.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

This is also why I haven't bought Metaphor yet, even though the circumstances are somewhat different.

I got tired of buying 100+ hour RPGS from Atlus only to have them release the SUPER MEGA+ Edition a year or two later with no upgrade path for existing owners of the originals.

 

[wvnative]

Stuff like FF9/MGS3 which we know about.

Otherwise no.

Title said remake/remaster. If you are already happy with more power get a pc.

That's fair. It's a related point but not quite the same.

 

[theStartupSound]

My second playthrough of GTA 4 is on hold until they remaster it in the 5 or 6 engine

 

[Kerotan]

Gonna wait for the GTA VI re-remaster on PS7.

Come to think about it GTA VI will be the GTA played for the entire PS6 generation. We'll be lucky to GTA VII on the PS7.

 

[El Muerto]

Sony 1st party games - I'll wait a few years for the remaster since that's all they do is remaster games instead of making new ones.
Everything else i'll play when it comes out.
Zero interest in MGS3 and Silent Hill 2 remasters as i played them alot on PS2. I dont want to waste my time playing the same game again since i know how the story goes.

 

[nightmare-slain]

no. i'll only wait if i know for sure there is gonna be a new version.

i've learned my lesson from bloodborne.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Seeing how some remakes turn out to demakes in some areas, I wouldn't wait.

 

[mayham2199]

Put off my TLOU 1 replay because the remaster was announced. I've been waiting on Alien Isolation remaster at this point whether I wait or not doesn't matter I have plenty to play.

 

[ssringo]

My knee-jerk answer was "no" because I wouldn't wait for a potential remake/remaster if I want to play something but I will wait for PC ports of some games before playing/replaying. That doesn't mean I always wait though. I happily bought and completed Stellar Blade early this year but I am waiting for it's PC release to replay it with the new stuff they've added/changed.

 

[Fortress of Regrets]

Astrobot. I'm waiting for the 2025 remaster.

 

[jason10mm]

If there was EVER a game that needed a remake for "modern audiences", it's.......

 

[K' Dash]

not a remaster or remake but I'm waiting to get the Pro to finish Hogwarts Legacy and replay Alan Wake 2

 

[Sooner]

Remakes and remasters are completely different. A remaster often defeats the purpose of the original, but major remakes do not.

As great as Resident Evil 2 remake is, it does not replace the original. They are each their own game and both still worth playing.

 

[GymWolf]

I'm not gonna replay forbidden west until sony announce the remaster on ps6.

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

The og Deus Ex would be a great remake candidate.

 

[llLeonhart]

Dragon Age Origins and 2. Have been wanting to replay them. But I don’t want to play it in PS3.
Xcom was awful on ps3, had to drop it.

Before the obligatory “Just play on Pc”, no.

 

[Sethbacca]

not a remaster or remake but I'm waiting to get the Pro to finish Hogwarts Legacy and replay Alan Wake 2

At this point just playing through my backlog on my Pro would get me through the end of the generation

 

[Kurotri]

Persona 1 and 2.

 

[RSLAEV]

Metaphor Re Fantazio. I have plenty of other stuff to play in the meantime.

 

[amigastar]

I'm waiting for the Gothic Remake so i won't be playing the original until then. Unless the Gothic remake sucks so i will return to the original.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I guess playing on Sony consoles and developing this fancy new type of OCD doesn't go well together. You'll be playing nothing from first party studios.

Don't know about that - the remake window is closing faster than the PC port window. Pretty soon the remake will release day and date with the original.

 

[Celcius]

Persona 4 Golden
I assume the remake will come a couple of years after Persona 6. I can wait.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Only the Quest 3 VR games that are built with Quest 2 as a base.

 

[xrnzaaas]

RE Code Veronica maybe? It's probably the only "bigger" Resident Evil I haven't played. I'm not a fan of tank controls mixed with fixed cameras and I know I wouldn't return to RE2&3 after finishing their remakes, even knowing about the cut out content.

 

[Laptop1991]

While there are games i want remastered, i'm not waiting to play a remastered version, i'll still play the original version's, some of the games i would like remastered i play with mods anyway so no need

 

[EverydayBeast]

Dragon Age Origins and 2. Have been wanting to replay them. But I don’t want to play it in PS3.
Xcom was awful on ps3, had to drop it.

Before the obligatory “Just play on Pc”, no.

Despite not being remastered I not only played those but also Awakening, the frame rate dips are there which is expected.


Got the honor to play twilight princess hd, it’s a great hd remake, the Wii version was awful, I respect the GameCube version.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Persona 1 and 2.

Same.

Also SMT IV. I've already played and beaten it, but for a replay I'd love to have a remaster with HD enemy sprites and maybe better game balance.

 

[proandrad]

Still holding out hope we an Asura's Wrath remaster. I don’t need it to have much, just higher resolution and 60fps.

 

[diffusionx]

I played it in the 1990s but want to play through SS2 and been waiiting on Night Dive for over a year.

I also want to play Black Flag and that has had a remake rumored for a while. I would be fine with a PS5 patch on the PS4 version running at 4K/60fps, honestly.

 

[HoleinOne]

Waiting doesn't make much sense unless a remake/remaster was already announced.

And sometime ago, on top of that. Anything announced recently is likely not showing up until 2027.

 

[Fbh]

I mean it's not exactly the same but I've started mostly skipping current gen games that don't run at at least 1080p 60fps on Ps5. I've no interest in going back to 30fps and I don't want to play or support 720p games with shitty FSR upscalling.

I'll just play them at some point in the future on Ps6 or if I get a PC, with the added bonus that by then they'll be like $20 and fully patched.

If you have a decent PC, they are available on Steam at least. That would definitely be an upgrade.

 

[sn0man]

You know with Switch 2 Nintendo is gonna drop a metric crap ton of definitive edition Switch games with all the DLC. My recent restraint (past few years other than my spouse getting new Zelda) will be rewarded.
