With games no jumping from one generation of consoles to the next, when is the best time to play something? Is there ever a best time?

    I think you missed the point of the article. The Switch 2 is getting exclusive versions of older games that you have to buy a second time, at full price, on new hardware.

    So this is same as buying Crysis and then having to pay for remaster on PC. And a new PC to run it.

    Really? So the PS5 can play Crash Bandicoot? Because my PC can still play the copy of Half-Life that I bought in 2006.

    I won’t be defending PS5, situation there is dire, you could purchase Crash on PS3 in 2006 but it’s stuck there, hence I play on Xbox. I can play some games from original Xbox, loads from 360 (and I hope more since MS bought Activision) and everything from XbOne.

    Crysis was released 20 years ago. TOTK was released 2 years ago.

    This is not the point since author wonders if he should wait with replaying even more, until Switch 3.

    This whole thing is about something else entirely, I don’t know why we’re arguing over this but I’m bored at a hospital so I can go on :D

      Most of the time you do not have to pay for a remaster. They just continuously update the original, or they offer it via DLC (as I said previously).

      I’m just now seeing the TOTK remaster is only $10 so I retract my statement.
