Along with everything else, I find it so annoying that these games that totally didn't need a remaster get one, and so many great older games just begging for a remaster that woud rake in cash dont get one.

Because those need work. These are easy to slightly polish up and push as new game.

Ps5 has literally only one new exclusive after all these years?

It has more than one... But it is incredibly lacking still.

But it got Astrobot, Destruction All-stars are both new IPs. There is also Spider-Man 2 and ~~Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart~~ for first party. And you can throw in Stella Blade and FF7 Rebirth for now as well.

I believe everything else is remakes or not exclusive to the PS5.

Edit - ohhh scratch Ratchet and Clank off as well, that's on PC. I thought it was the PS4 one that came to PC, but it is Rift Apart.

Wikipedia is only listing PS5. Spiderman and Miles Morales were PS4, but Spiderman 2 is only on the PS5

They did it so they can sell more data from requiring a PSN account, also just more money from people buying it, I guess.

It's because those remakes take time to do a proper remake. I get the feeling Sony needed something fast for this one and Guerilla was able to turn it around without much effort on their part, at least compared to making a new game or remaking something older.
