My thoughts on it are, if you don't like the price tag then voice your disapproval to Sony/Playstation and not the people buying it because they want to, if you don't care about the remake and think it shouldn't exist then don't even bother telling that to the people enjoying it, I personally think it's absolutely worth it since I was disappointed with the direction Part 2 took with the story but loved everything else about it including graphics, gameplay and models and I imagined how awesome a remake of the first game with the same graphics and gameplay would be never thinking it was going to get made so I was thrilled when Part 1 was announced, is it a remake in a literary sense? Nope and it doesn't need to be because the first game is perfect as it is, changing the story would be a huge mistake but is it a remake on a technical level? Absolutely and it shows when you're playing the game.
Also the remaster is dated, it's a PS3 game with clunky animations, outdated models, pre-recorded cutscenes and just higher resolution textures than the PS3 version, I love the first game too but let's not blind ourselves with nostalgia and say both versions are comparable, yes it was an amazing feat for the time but it's not anywhere near the level of Part 1, just the transitions from gameplay to cutscenes are bonkers in this game.
Also this is a forum where we discuss dolls worth hundred of dollars and where people spend hundreds more on reissues and custom jobs for said dolls, I get that the average gamer hates the price hike in that's happening in the gaming hobby but for us of all people to complain about 70 bucks for something that will give you way more enjoyment and fun than a doll that costs hundreds of dollars just comes off as extremely silly to me.
. Those games are far older and required much more work to bring them up to modern standards.
