Remastered/remakes games releases what your opinion regarding them
Mel:
What are your thoughts on the recent trend of remaster games that have been released or going to be released in future like resident evil, the last of us remaster, Final Fantasy Type-0 and dark souls 2 remaster for ps3, ps4 and Xbox one? Do you think worth they are worth purchasing a second time?
TDIRunner:
I guess it just depends. I've bought remastered versions of a few games and so far I've been happy. I hope they don't flood the market with too many. However, if they pick just the right games, I think it's a great idea. If one isn't interested in buying the game a second time just for better graphics (and usually a few other improvements), then they don't have to buy it.
I have remastered versions of the following games:
Tomb Raider Legend
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Metal Gear Solid 2
Metal Gear Solid 3
Metal Gear Peace Walker
Medal of Honor Frontline
I didn't mind buying those games a second time because they were all so well made games. They didn't make any significant changes to the games. They only enhanced the graphics which helps to make the game more enjoyable to me.
I also have the Twin Snakes for the GameCube. This one for me was just meh. The new voice acting was rushed and forced and the control scheme on the GameCube controller just didn't work. I would love to see them remaster MGS on the PS3 or PS4 with the Fox Engine graphics with a proper Sony controller.

I like that Resident Evil is gonna be cheap (I think I saw $20) and the collections like Halo are cool too. I just hate the last gen upgrades like GTA V and Last of Us, there's no need for a rerelease on those already unless it's in a collection or cheap, not at full price again.

I like remasters of older titles but not this new trend of the PS3 to PS4 remasters. It seems too ridiculous to me because there was nothing wrong with the old version.

Only one I've picked up so far is DuckTales. It's certainly possible for them to be nice, but yeah... 7th gen titles "remastered" for 8th gen seems like a pretty blatant cash grab. Unless you're going from handheld to console, I totally approve of that. There's just not that big of a difference between the generations to really rate it.
