We live in the age of remakes. Some of the most expected games right now are remakes (RE4, SH2, FF7R, DS, etc.). This is stunning considering that vidya is a fairly recent medium.

Yes, sometimes there are moden few gems, but they are rare and far between.

What do you think?

From what I can gather, the remakes are for the new console systems. Not everyone keeps their old game consoles to continue playing older games. Or maybe I'm confusing remakes with remasters. Then again, I know absolutely nothing about this Vidya franchise.

It’s not just the games, it is other forms of mass entertainment as well.   It is the age that sees little value in  artistic exploration and risk and focuses instead on milking the familiar for all they are financially worth.
