VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “A lot of video game enthusiasts complain about remasters, but I think they’re missing the forest for the trees. The video game industry sees thousands upon thousands of games released each and every year; who cares if a handful are remasters of old games? If anything, they’re a net positive. They shine a spotlight on underplayed games of yesteryear or bring old classics to the attention of a brand new generation. That’s certainly the case with this year’s shortlist, which includes a graphical overhaul of the legendary action-RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion; an expanded remaster of fan-favorite Final Fantasy Tactics; a return visit to 1930s Tokyo in Raidou Remastered; and a second chance at stardom for one of the very finest WiiU games, Xenoblade Chronicles X.”
