What are you even talking about? Why are some games more expensive than others? I dont know. GTA5 PS4 was $110 AUD at most stores here, yet Bloodborne never seemed to go above $90.
I dont know why that happens. I dont take offense to it, though.

So that would leave about 9 games still worth playing. Hmm 9 vs 1. Man Rogue Galaxy must be some fucking amazing game to be better then 9 games.
Rare replay is an amazing value. I'm not going to shit on sony for what they're doing though. They want money and people will buy em. Still the asinine things being said are ridiculous.
You can charge more for something and sell fewer copies but still make more money in total.

I don't plan on rebuying any PS2 games on the PS4, so... you're welcome.

Even with all their business mistakes over the past decade or so, I would trust the business acumen of their marketing department on pricing these games over yours 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 day of the year.

Not at all.... i had a choice to buy halo after already owning all the other halos previously on 360 and i did
I just really dont see the difference between this and halo mcc, gears hd, or rare replay honestly
Why don't you ask Microsoft why they're charging $30 for Rare Replay but $60 for Halo 5.
It's free, and it has online.
And saves transfer. And there's forced V-sync, so no more screen tear.
Your niche anime taste doesn't discredit an entire critically acclaimed developers library, but it's cute none the less.

360 games don't have online? Wow.
Please show your workings, poster.
Did I say the entire library wasn't worth $30? No, I just said I'd rather spend $15 on something else.
Let's not do this. Value is in the eye of the beholder, not in each others biases.

Hey, give me Phantom Dust, Panzer Dragoon Orta cleaned up with trophies and I'll pay 15 as well.
Give me Mario Sunshine at 1080p for 15 and I'm in. Nothing wrong.

I doubt Sony cares what you think about their plans. Plenty of people will eat up these games for $15 a pop and they know it.
Ha. Haha. HAHAHAHAHA!
Ha. Haha. HAHAHAHAHA!
These PS2 games on PS4 is going to sell more than the Xbox 360 games on Xbox One.

Also true.
I could sell 1,000 copies of Dark Cloud at $5 and make $5,000 or sell 500 copies at $15 and make $7,500.
Higher prices doesn't necessarily equate to less revenue.

Problem solved. They aren't going to care about what you say in these forums. Speak with your wallet.

I complained about Nintendo and their pricing back on Wii when I spent $150 on VC. Different discussion and can of worms for me.

It's not worth $30. It's one of the worst collections I've ever had the misfortune of buying, because unlike Sega, Capcom, Midway, and Namco Collections, Rare's old stuff doesn't hold up.
Yup. To me the pricing is fine. Most PS1 and PS2 classics are 5-10 bucks. This program prices the games between 10-15 bucks. It makes sense. The price imo shouldn't be an issue and if it is either don't buy it or wait for a sale.
Again I've stated this countless times but I do think Sony should offer some sort of upgrade program.
This doesn't make any sense. If it was just disc compatibility, none of the people involved would get money as the PS2 market is practically all second-hand sales.
Just releasing these PS2 games on PS4 means more money, not less money in any situation.
Yup. That has set a precedent. Sony charging $15 for PS2 games with trophy support and uprendering, for only $5 more?
But Sony is insane, and insulting all of us, right?
Oh it looks good, but it becomes a mess. Those controls become the ultimate chore. Banjo Nuts and Bolts, don't get me started. They even tried to fix JFG because it was dated as all hell on a modern controller, but still is a mess. Battletoads, I dare you to beat the rolling ball level even with cheats. You have to be a prodigy or suffered 1000 deaths to get close. Conker is clunky compared to the remake, Viva Pineata is as bad as it sounds. There is a few that are decent, but its mostly just a shinny rehash. The 360 remasters can just be purcased seperately.
Yes, I know it will be hard, but I would be very happy if we get 6-8 classics a month.
You could do that before they added 100 Xbox 360 games to the Xbox One.
If you owned a Xbox 360 & the games on the list you only gained space under your TV,
Edit: & V-sync.

If your only defense is a comparison with Nintendo online services,you know you dun goofed
lets hope we see all the SMT titles and spin offs
All I need is Burnout 3 at 1080p and a locked frame rate.
They might need to change the music, but they need to make it happen.
Didn't you mean what the value added difference was between XBO BC and PS4 BC?
Does coop work on PS4 BC?
And resolution counts but not the lack of screen tear?
Are you claiming that consumers cannot dispute the value of a good? About anything? Gas? Food? Medicine? Shoes?
That is a weird idea. It's a short step to arguing that market regulation doesn't make sense because markets never fail.

The amount of content in most of these isn't too far off from a last generation game, and I'm sure the amount of testing and engineering that went into the process isn't far off from a bare bones HD remaster.
I think it's fine to charge $15/$10 and offer sale discounts occasionally. I'll probably pick up one game to see how it works and maybe others on down the road.
It would have been better if they were ps2 classics transferred over but this is what we have. Take it or leave it. There's no shortage of new games to play.

Couch coop should as it has shareplay support.
There is a huge difference between medicine and video games.
You're the one comparing video games to essentials, not him.

So approximately 3,500?
What about local coop?
If you read this thread, you would see thats not my only defense.
But lololol riight?
EDIT: And as I said up there, plenty of people buy VC stuff on the Wii and Wii U. $5 less than what Sony is charging for a ROM, pretty much. So how is this going to kill Sony, or destroy the game market, as people are claiming?
