Take-Two has plans for eight more remasters or ports: I hope they turn out better than GTA Trilogy – Definitive Edition

destructoid.com:

At least eight new Take-Two remasters or ports are set for release, according to a new financial report (fiscal 2022 results) from the publisher. This is all part of a massive section of Take-Two’s “pipeline,” which extends all the way from this current fiscal year of 2023 to 2025.

Take-Two not only shed some light on their plans to bring back the past, but what they’re doing in the future. Let’s take a brief look at their set of fully confirmed games.

As far as everything else goes, there will be 24 “immersive core” games, which most industry analysts would call “AAA” or thereabouts. Then there’s 10 independent [indie] projects, 20 mobile games, seven “mid-core” titles (Tales from the Borderlands is cited as a direct example), and eight “new iterations of previously released titles. Take-Two clarifies that “this includes ports and remastered titles: sequels would not fall into this category.”

Of course, the elephant in the room is the GTA Trilogy – Definitive Edition. There’s a question of how many times Take-Two can fool potential remaster buyers if they aren’t going to put the work in to polish a re-release. Of course, Take-Two is a massive company, and any number of remasters can be handled by a wide array of studios. But as a whole, it would behoove them to put their best foot forward if they want to continue down this path and keep their reputation intact.
