I guess we only have ourselves to blame; we BOUGHT all the previous
remakes the publishers vomited up, so we shouldn't be surprised if
they're going whole-hog into the genre now.

But I really miss new IPs. New ideas. It's great that we have the
Indies (although they often only seem fresh because there's so MANY of
them. Shall I count the number of Indie games that use the
platformers-with-small-children-in-gruesome-danger-that-use-a-
Chiaroscuro-art-style?. Indies are in a rut too) but I'd love to see
the Big Names put all their talent and resources into something fresh
rather than just rehashing old classics.

But rehashes are what we get, I guess.

Yay.
