Love it or hate it, a notable PlayStation trend this generation has been remastering PS4 games for PS5. Even though the console is fully backward compatible, we've gotten dedicated PS5 versions of the two The Last of Us games and will soon be getting new versions of Until Dawn and Horizon Zero Dawn for PS5. I find these remasters understandable, yet unnecessary, but I'm more frustrated that Sony isn't giving this treatment to the games that really need it.

I might be beating a dead horse by complaining that PlayStation VR2 doesn't have good first-party support. A year and a half into the headset's lifespan, it's abundantly clear that Sony is ready to move on to the hardware, especially now that there's a PC adapter available.
