With generations, consumers will migrate and like different games. You don't necessarily need kids to experience the things you've experienced because everyone is wired differently.

Not every game that's a classic should be remade/remastered or re-released for a 3rd or 4th time. I might enjoy playing the classic Max Payne games (and I thing both games hold up pretty well 20 years after they got released) and I'm being nostalgic because I wanna see how Remedy is Remaking MP-1&2, but in my opinion they didn't actually need to do that because they are great the way they are (minus the outdated graphics).

I game that would definitely need a remaster version is GTA IV, which I would love to play on a next gen console, but probably won't ever get because of the architecture mess that was PS3.

The Last of US Part 1 definitely didn't need to be overhauled from the ground up since the PS4 remastered was holding up on current gen consoles, but probably was a fresh breath of income for Naughty Dog before releasing Factions (which I'm hoping releases this year).
