I absolutely love Alan Wake, one of my all time favorites, but I don't really see the need for a remaster. Then again, I usually don't. I guess it's good if it doesn't mess up anything, and will just be a way to bring the game to a new audience on the new consoles.

Or when a game has long sense been dead for example Strife it was gone from everything and was pretty much abandonware only for awhile till people got ahold of it and rereleased it with added factors.. thats a case that makes sense..

I also can get Sin being remade because the O.G release and version not only is good it failed for Half life over shadowed it and it was a pc game in the early days of''release unfinished game patch it later '' bull and do to the early days of that it failed hard as it not only was from my findings a bug ridden mess fior a month after release but the patch one had to search up and go to a forum or dev/studio page to get was massive for just bug fixs and one extra map atleast for the time it was massive.. So ya remaking it now might give it a shot to thrive which I want to it thus hoping the ''Sin;reloaded'' game thats coming out soon which is a remake I am very hopeful for and do hope it comes to G.O.G and its one of the few games I will buy on Steam and G.O.G rather then just G.O.G via waiting for it to show up as its a game I want to not get screwed over again

This release seems sudden and not needed as today's PCs should run the original just fine. I'm not opposed to remasters. I find them to be welcomed when their original release is locked down to legacy tech/OS.

Indeed this is the trend. So I'm about 50/50. It's good to see games resurrected ala Stubbs

Agreed and people who never got to play a game for a game vanishing from everywhere or locked down to to legacy tech/OS prior is a good thing for exmple you gave Stubbs is one such game
