    That’s the thing - loads of people are also willing to shell out for a port

    Why make a decent profit by remaking the game, when you can have a small team port the game over a few weeks and rake in basically 100% profit

    I’d wager the difference between the number of copies that would see for a remake vs for a port is depressingly low

      That’s probably true sadly, but still only ps4 and switch… Which I guess are the two systems that don’t have back compat.

      That’s the thing about rdr1 though, they could basically name their price a true remaster and tons of people would buy a full one too. You could set a ludicrous number like 150 and I shamefully would still buy it if it were a good remaster.

        You might be willing to pay an absurd amount, but you’re definetely in the minority there, most people will definetely not be willing to pay more than $60 for a remaster
