The last few years of remasters have amazed me with how much they HAVEN'T added emulator features even when the game is blatantly being emulated. Some of them miss save states or practice modes (particularly shmups) or proper key rebinding on the controller. I have 6x more buttons than the game originally needed, let me actually use them.
I also don't preorder, and I DO buy basically all FromSoft games on release because I know they'll be bangers. But I've been burned before with Dark Souls 3 suddenly increasing in price by 50% in my region right before launch. I'm torn. I guess I'll wait and see, again.
