Remasters ‘Feel Like You’ve Run Out of Ideas’, Says EA COO Peter Moore

​

​

Remasters! Everyone’s at it. Sony loves ‘em, Microsoft isn’t afraid of ‘em, Capcom and Square Enix can’t get enough and stores everywhere are swamped with sexed-up previous-gen games.​

But it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing any from EA.​

Speaking to IGN, EA COO Peter Moore said he’s not a fan of remasters, explaining that he thinks they feel “like pushing stuff out because you've run out of ideas."​

"For a lot of companies, remakes are a way to drive revenue,” he added. “It's sub-cost, it's an IP that's there, you can remaster, and that's great. We don't do that here. I don't think that’s ever been in our culture."​

So that’s that. It’s very likely we won’t be seeing any remakes from EA in the near future. No Mass Effect Trilogy. No Dead Space remake. A no chance of The Simpsons Skateboarding: Anniversary Edition.​

It’s a sad day.​
