It's so that current-gen console users can play it.
The PC 'remaster' is pretty incidental (and pointless, since there aren't the backwards- compatibility issues). Probably just done to stop pc gamers moaning that they don't have it.

Having said that I'm with you with the remasters being gash for the most part

Resident Evil 1 remake and Resident Evil 0 remasters did a great job of bringing the 2002 gamecube games onto the PC. Without the remasters i'd have probably never have played them again as I can't see myself buying a gamecube, so for me Remasters are a godsend. I eventually hope to have all my favourite classic console games on Steam, starting with the old MGS games.
Games that are already on steam and work fine with mods, like Skyrim and now this I am less enthusiastic about.

Remaster is a term that has lost all meaning really. I think this one has to be the lowest end of effort put in unfortunatly but if other companies do it why shouldn't they. I do agree it makes sense for console only players if they missed it at the time. The 360 and ps3 versions are super janky
I wish they put a full force behind it and did more of a remake like the resident evil remake for gamecube, as mentioned above.

Still not going to buy it. Why should I have to pay for a game that's had an update for a game I already own? Utterly stupid.

Any chance this will come to GOG? I mean, it is a remaster of a game from 2011. Would be great if Namco Bandai could sell it to GOG users as well...

Released early already & oh dear £34.99 if you do not already own it & going by player reviews this is just a paid patch. Looks virtually identical as well. Greedy publishers never learn do they

£34 for essentially DSFix with proper 60fps is taking the ****, they could have released this for a few quid and people would love them but 'full price' for a patch job is.... YOU DIED!
Yup, literally a £17.49 patch. Don't get me wrong I have no problem with the remaster in terms of the console release, I might even pick up the Switch version, but the PC versions is a joke. If you really want to charge existing owners charge something more reasonable like £4.99, not £17.49. Even 2K and Bethesda gave away the remastered versions on PC for free.
The only reason I see to pick it up is for the improved multiplayer experience, but I'm not that into PVP anyway.

You get a loyalty discount to £17.49 if you already own on Steam.
