Weekly Poll: Secrets To Everybody
August 07, 2012
Most of you would rather buy a new video game than a remastered old game. I also prefer new experiences to nostalgia that's been spruced up a bit, but I have a soft spot for replaying an old favorite game in high definition. I enjoy Sony's revamped classics line and I've rented a few of Nintendo's New Play Control titles for the Wii, but anymore I tend to split my gaming between both old and new with the new titles going to the PlayStation 3 and older titles landing on the Nintendo 3DS via its Virtual Console service. Later this month, however, that'll flip to New Super Mario Bros. 2 on the 3DS and the Ratchet and Clank Collection on the PS3. So while I prefer buying new original games, but actual habits are all over the place.

Do you want developers and publishers to be more open when it comes to sharing new information about past, present, and future products? Let's hear your thoughts.
