@budwyzer: You are 100% correct in that we are getting plenty of new things. Smaller games have never been better. I just feel big AAA games are stagnant. Smaller games are fantastic, but there is something special about a big, unique, big budget game. It was so easy to hop on board last gen because there were so many new and crazy IP's. Be it Gears, Assassians Creed, Uncharted, or anything else. There was a ton of new big games doing new things, and this Gen we just have a lot of those same franchises.
I feel like some newer IP's are slowly squeaking out, but it's no where near the rate that last gen was. Once again I think this is because how risky and expensive newer games are.
@geraltitude: No one is robbing you of anything. The game still exists on multiple platforms, and it is still good on those platforms. Also it doesn't hurt me. You are making this oddly personal and I am not sure why. It's a bummer to me because it's a bad trend. Publisher's are pushing out these remakes to basically buy time/money until they can put out a proper sequel of that same franchise. If these remakes were being used to fund completely new projects, I wouldn't be so down on it. But the Gear's anniversary game is being put out to push the new Gears game. The Uncharted Collection is leading the push for Uncharted 4. In Capcom's case remakes seem to be their whole new business model.
I am happy that you and other people are getting to try slightly better versions of older games, but it's really fucking boring.
