"A resurgence since the days of ps2"?

Every time a new major title came out during the PS2 era it practically invented a new genre or revolutionized a current one. Most devs these days can barely pull their heads out of their asses long enough to put out a half assed remaster for $60 or some shitty open world game that no one seems to know how to do right any more. Remember the waning days of the platformer where everything was a mindless collectathon picking up random shit for no reason and no actual gameplay?

Where are the actual quality remasters and outright remakes like REmake? A lot of these things I can't even tell the difference at a glance or even side by side with the original release.

I remember DKC and DKC2, and Tropical Freeze. Only thing I remember about the N64 is it maybe had enough good games throughout it's entire life to maybe compete against the SNES launch lineup.

Jak 1 was a collectathon, though.
