why

Will people say this for each remaster that get announced?

Shit gets boring.

 

[Pennywise]

I really liked the game, but it's just to expensive.
Gonna snatch it later on when it's cheaper...
Already getting Beyond Two Souls and GTA5 remasters is expensive enough for now...

 

[Kojirospath]

Fuck yeah! Will get

 

[golem]

$60 is pretty ridiculous.

Though I do want to play it again.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

As long as people keep buying this stuff, they'll keep cranking them out.

Great game. I Platinumed it on PS3.

But...Would not play again.

I will play it again, specially because of the DLC and not having a decent computer.

 

[Ridley327]

Damn, why no Triad Wars...

Gamescom announcement, perhaps?

 

[il Diavolo]

YES! Hopefully a sequel is on its way as well.

 

[icespide]

Will people say this for each remaster that get announced?

Shit gets boring.

of course they will

 

[eunao]

Platinumed on PS3. Will probably do the same for PS4. No regrets!
60$ is a little steep though.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

So close to the GTA V re-release isn't going to do it any good.

Also, I forsee some games getting moved out of October, it's so packed.

It's getting announced right now as October, which is 2 months from release. Why announce it as October then move it within that time frame? Makes zero sense. It's staying at that date.

 

[Wickerbasket]

I loved this game when I played it on PC, but are they really trying to charge full price for this game again?

 

[Toki767]

The PC version was well, well above what the 360 and PS3 versions were. If this is just a straight port of the PC version, I imagine most will consider it on par with the other remasters.

I did play this on PC and honestly at the time it felt like the closest taste to what next gen would be like. I'm sure it'll look and play fine. I just think it's blatant price gouging for a port that probably isn't costing them very much to do. That and the DLC was nothing special.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Might buy day one...

 

[PanicFreak]

$60? Nope.

This will be selling for under $40 in a month.

 

[Killer]

$60... with possible GTAV coming in the same month.

 

[karma2578]

Text in the picture says rebuilt so I'm hoping for a remaster done like Tomb Raider not Last of Us

 

[diaspora]

Will people say this for each remaster that get announced?

Shit gets boring.

People will ask this for each full priced game that's essentially an upres, especially when that game can be experienced in its "Definitive Edition" form for like $10-15.

 

[KiDdYoNe]

Hopefully, that means a sequel is pretty much guaranteed at this point.

Yeah, and that's kinda the only good thing. I'm getting tired of this generation.

 

[MSMrRound]

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Didn't realise it was full price. Tomb Raider wasn't, was it?

why

Maybe people who didn't play it last-gen want to play it. Maybe even people who did play it last-gen wouldn't mind replaying it. Hey, maybe Square Enix want to get it out there to more gamers before the sequel or Triad Wars or whatever comes out.

 

[MoogleWizard]

it's not like they're doing this instead of a new game. who does this hurt?

IMO the release schedules for current gen are pretty barren, and many games are delayed so they pump out remasters just to release something. I wouldn't mind them if they weren't full price like newly developed games. 60 bucks is a joke.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Already getting Beyond Two Souls and GTA5 remasters is expensive enough for now...

What?
Since when is that happening? Did I miss something?

 

[Mortemis]

Nice, never got it last gen. Looks like Destiny won't be the only game on my ps4 in 2014!

Will wait for black Friday though. Can't see myself paying $60.

 

[Kane1345]

I really love this game but that asking price is way over the top

 

[PranooY]

Will people say this for each remaster that get announced?

Shit gets boring.

I used to be like you. But this is too much. Too many remasters.
I do get that it is easy to port a game. Entire 2014 is delays after delays and too many remasters. Very few games like Evil Within and Destiny to look out to.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

OMG OMG OMG

OMG!!! YES!

 

[Meneses]

Would triple dip if it was (much) cheaper, but I already own the game + DLC on PS3 and PC, so it's hard to justify this.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

The game was good, but this?

No. If it was £25 I would understand. SE are going to be disappointed with the results. That also means Hitman Absolution is next.

 

[neverknowsbest]

This was the second game I ever platinumed, and I never played any of the DLC, but $60 for a remaster w/ DLC feels a little steep if there's not going to be ANY new content. Either an additional DLC-size content pack or a slightly lower price would make this a must-buy, but as it is, it'ls probably going to end up as a "somewhat begrudgingly buy."

 

[KrM DeLorean]

Can't see myself pulling the trigger @ 60$.

 

[TheSpoiler]

I love this game but man, is this what the new gen is gonna be like?

Yeah, it's not like almost every generation before this had ports or anything like that.

Never happened. Nope.

 

[Sendou]

Will people say this for each remaster that get announced?

Shit gets boring.

The question "why?" is very appropriate in this instance though.

 

[Ridley327]

I loved this game when I played it on PC, but are they really trying to charge full price for this game again?

They're using the classic "over $X of DLC included!" bit to justify it. The game did have a lot of DLC, but the majority of it was strictly cosmetic, so it's hard to swallow.

 

[Raptor]

Probably not 60fps.

30fps locked, I take it.

This is the remaster I was waiting for.

 

[Pryce]

SO IN.

SO IN RIGHT NOW.

 

[Jinfash]

Will buy at a greatly discounted price, SE.

 

[Seik]

People will ask this for each full priced game that's essentially an upres, especially when that game can be experienced in its "Definitive Edition" form for like $10-15.

Oh shit, I just saw the 60$ price tag, shameless.

That said, all these ''why?'' already have an answer, and it's money.

 

[Kandinsky]

Nice way to fill that schedule, I approve.

 

[Seanspeed]

What's the point? It was free on Xbox and ps plus at one stage.

Everyone who wanted to play it would have done.

Not everybody would have had PS+ or Xbox Gold, many people might have just plain missed out on it in general, and those that did play it and loved it might be excited to experience it in 1080p(and hopefully 60fps).

 

[dorkimoe]

Hey cool another remaster

 

[JDSN]

Next gen is truly here!

 

[MyNameIsRye]

Love this game.

The main guy was my Tae Kwon Do instructor.

 

[Ridley327]

$60... with possible GTAV coming in the same month.

I'd be shocked if GTAV wasn't also $60.

 

[Oddduck]

Never played this last generation so this is good news for me.

Edit: $60 is a bit much though.

 

[SerTapTap]

People will ask this for each full priced game that's essentially an upres, especially when that game can be experienced in its "Definitive Edition" form for like $10-15.

The Last of Us or better yet Master Chief Collection should be a standard bar for remasters. All current DLC, significant visual improvement not just res, something that can't easily be gotten on a single platform in a single purchase (either console only games or a collection of games not previously all on one console). MCC is a bit above and beyond in that there's redone cutscenes and all multiplayer maps with the preferred multiplayer gameplay (halo 2), but the "remastered trilogy/collection" is a nice angle.

 

[Krejlooc]

I did play this on PC and honestly at the time it felt like the closest taste to what next gen would be like. I'm sure it'll look and play fine. I just think it's blatant price gouging for a port that probably isn't costing them very much to do. That and the DLC was nothing special.

It still looks great, too. Crank everything up as high as it'll go and throw it on a 3DTV for good measure and the game looks pretty stunning.

 

[Pennywise]

What?
Since when is that happening? Did I miss something?

Not confirmed yet, it's something for the Gamescom though.
So just rumors for now.

 

[iNvid02]

high asking price if it really is just a res bump with dlc

had a good time with it on PC, no desire to go back to it though

 

[Fracas]

I'd rather play it on console, but $60 is a terrible deal for a game that's been <$5 for months now.

 

[Anung]

I'll triple dip. Fantastic game that I wouldn't mind playing again.
