Why isn't GTA4 getting a Remaster?

 With GTAV, the not so great 3D Era GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition available on Modern Consoles, it's odd That GTA IV is not getting a remaster, especially as a "WAITING for GTA6 Stalling tactics game". 

While, yes, I enjoyed it a bit less than the Original GTA SA, it was a good game and it deserves at least a port to modern era consoles... with the end of PS3 era, a ton of gaming classics are going to be "lost" and that is disappointing. As much as companies love to hate on Piracy... it's reasonable because of self8 explanatory reasons, Piracy has preserved most of the 8-bit to 32-bit era games. N64 Emulation and beyond has been a tad problematic. That's why when news like this or this pop up, hopes get up. PS3 Emulation is difficult due to the Cell Processing. What SONY has now is streaming PS3 games through the cloud, which sounds like a logistical nightmare to folks with data caps and slower speeds 

My PS2 died and I need to get it fixed to play the shit ton of PS2 games that I have... that's literally the last gaming generation that can be fully preserved, because it doesn't require being online at all... once the servers for certain games go down. You can't play the games anymore... or at least the elements that require online. Unless, of course, the game gets ported to a more modern console...

Relying on online is "good for now" but not "good forever"... as studios die, get sold and butchered, licenses lost... games get lost as well... for example, now the only JoJo games are the Bandai  Namco JoJo games. The Dreamcast game by Capcom? Tough shit... Piracy is your only hope, because Capcom no longer has the license and can't rerelease modern ports. This is why the Cowabunga collection is such a huge thing. Sure, it's a lazy release for Konami, but at the same time it's an attempt at preservation of past games in an anthology...  but now with games requiring to "phone home" to be playable, relying on Patches and DLC to have the full experience, and going to digital format, where the players can lose access if the company goes broke, kills the servers or many other factors. Then there's the ends of certain licenses that cause content to be removed (GTA Trilogy is an example). In say, 10 years from now if Rockstar doesn't pull a port/remaster of GTA4,  it'll be unlikely that we'll be ablento play the game ever again.

Well, guess what? This was one of my favorite PS1 Games, Blast Chamber... no ports have been made. Since my PS2 died, well, I can no longer play the game... unless I use my PS1 disc on a pc with a PS1 Emulator. The game wasnta critical success, which explains why it wouldn't get any ports... but The Activision Spider-Man games were good (except Enter Electro) but again, lost to history due to licensing issues.  

It's scary to think that I can still obtain many of the games from my childhood LEGALLY, but games from my college years, are impossible to get legally.
