Loving this precedent that TLOU remastered is setting....

 

[icespide]

don´t get the hate for remasters or remakes, some people did not play the games on last gen or don´t have a good PC.

The more games the better, even if they are remasters.

thank you

 

[Uno Venova]

Should we expect Deus Ex Human Revolution Director's Cut to get a PS4/Xbox One release soon?

You should expect a re-release of any acclaimed game from last gen.

Loving this precedent that TLOU remastered is setting....

Why did you pick that game to set the precedent when there was rereleases before TLOU?

 

[Kouriozan]

Fast and easy way to get more games on current gen, why not.

 

[george_us]

Sheeeeyit that's another game I'm buying in October!

[Byron Bluth]

This game is $7 at Target right now here in Canada.

This is stupid.

 

[Toki767]

Loving this precedent that TLOU remastered is setting....

What precedent? Tomb Raider Definitive Edition was a thing.

Spoiler

That barely anyone bought.

 

[Hollow]

That $60 price tag put a real damper on my interest.

 

[Xater]

Well if you are going to base purchases on steam prices no point in owning a console.

I can definitely base my purchasing decisions on Steam prices for old ass games though. Zero issues with that.

 

[icespide]

Loving this precedent that TLOU remastered is setting....

pretty sure Tomb Raider is the one that set the precedent

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I never say this, but I hope this does poorly for them sales wise. It's time for Square Enix and the gaming industry as a whole to pull their heads out of their collective asses on these re-issues of last gen titles. It's fine when you do it, but to charge full retail price for it 2-3 years down the line is just insulting to gamers. This is a $29.99 title, no more.

the definitive generation

Last Gen Remastered

 

[Stone Ocean]

Loving this precedent that TLOU remastered is setting....

Ahh yes, porting old games to new consoles, what a new precedent that has never happened before.

 

[shadowfall]

I actually pre-ordered the ps3 version. While I loved the game and had a blast, I do not see myself getting this. The story was interesting and I liked the twist. The game also looked good on PS3, so not sure I would see the appeal in a visual upgrade.

Also didnt the game underperform according to the publisher. I am surprised they are remastering it. Honestly I would loved if they released a sequel instead.

 

[SmokyDave]

Sweet. The more titles are remastered, the likelier that I get my Saints Row: The Third HD Remix.

Not everybody has a gaming PC.

Why is that so hard to understand for some? :/

C'mon, you know how this works. All PCs run all games at a minimum of 1080p (locked) 60FPS, and everybody owns one.

 

[Salex_]

For reference, this was $7.99 (all DLC included) on Steam about a month ago.
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/35243/

It's $40 right now. Why are people trying to use a sale price to make a point? You'll be able to find the retail game on sale not long after it releases.

[Rosur]

Probably be picking this up. Hopefully ends up being £30 ish like Tomb raider and Last of Us.

 

[Majanew]

It also had an overhauled Lara and some neat environmental additions. That was enough to warrant calling it a remaster imo. Especially as that's probably how Lara will look moving forward.

Well yeah, improved Lara model with sub-surface scattering.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

Hopefully it gets the graphical update that TR got.

 

[DustyVonEric]

I went
"Oooooooooooh!!!"

Played it on ps+, bought dlc for it, and would still double-dip!

It's that good.

I have zero problems with these remasters.

I'd back flip and streak down the street for Dark Souls collection and Demon's Souls Definitive edition

 

[The Rain King]

Hell yeah. Now gimme Skyrim and I'm done with these.

 

[Seanspeed]

I don#t have a game PC but I still wouldn't pay that much money for this old port knowing the Steam prices. I will wait for it to bomb and then pick it up for peanuts.

Price is steep, I agree.

 

[BloodMoney]

Another full priced cash grab... This trend is getting annoying. I want to play the game but see no reason to do anything other than purchase the PC version during Steams holiday sale.

 

[Dolobill]

I already played it but this is good news. New players can discover the best current gen "Dogs" game.

 

[El_Chino]

PC version is definitive version.

Did not take long.

On topic, holy shit!!!! Bought so hard.

 

[Methamatics101]

Wei Shen motherfucker. I'm so picking this up for the PS4. My favourite open-world game of last-gen.

The price though. Yikes!

 

[Shadow Broker]

Great game but I won't be double dipping, I see why publishers are doing this but I'm not going to support it.

Up next the lightning trilogy definitive edition...

Spoiler

I'd probably buy that though lol, though only for my final fantasy collection if it had any good extra content

I'm not going to double dip on this either despite having fun the first go around and like you I will be there day one if they did a Final Fantasy XIII Trilogy Definitive Edition for $60.

 

[QuantumBro]

For $60 I can get either GTA 5 or Sleeping Dogs. That's a really easy choice for me.

 

[Dabanton]

Already seen everything there is to see in this game and with no MP plus being full price this is going to be a no thank you.

 

[Willy Wanka]

It's a great game but that price is ridiculous.

 

[SerTapTap]

The number of PS4 owners who've played it isn't really relevant. Incidentally, charging $50 for the same game at a higher res with some minor DLC is not a good thing.

Spoiler

Meh game too.

Did you miss the part where the original is still $40? Base game? It's barely any more expensive for one of the most acclaimed game with significant upgrades and like $20+ worth of DLC (only really care about Left Behind and that's $15). Sounds like you're letting the fact that you don't like the game/remasters in general cloud your value judgement. Aside from PS3 and PS4 cross buy/$10 upgrade programs (which were extremely limited), this is one of the best Remastered value offerings out there.

 

[VE3TRO]

Should we expect Deus Ex Human Revolution Director's Cut to get a PS4/Xbox One release soon?

I pretty much expect it will now. Push it out before the next Deus Ex maybe early 2015. I even wondered if Square would release Hitman: Absolution as well before the next title releases.

 

[W.S.]

Already own it both physical and digital so this is a pass for me.

I can't blame companies for doing this since it seems so easy to do for that extra money but it's getting a little too out of hand lately.

 

[Dunlop]

lol forgot about Tomb Raider, but TLOU is actually selling at the inflated price

 

[rich7sena]

Awesome. Since I missed my chance to play it on PS+ when I had my PS3 I've really been wanting to play this game.

The best remastered value is still inherently bad value.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

For those people disappointed with gtav and watch dogs this is the game for them. It was great.

 

[King Gilga]

I loved the game, but $60 for PC level graphics and the mediocre DLC?

Yeah, no.

 

[jon bones]

For $60 I can get either GTA 5 or Sleeping Dogs. That's a really easy choice for me.

yeah this is a no brainer: best open world game of last gen vs. yet another grand theft auto

 

[alr1ght]

It's $40 right now. Why are people trying to use a sale price to make a point? You'll be able to find the retail game on sale not long after it releases.

So you're saying the retail price should be.....$40.

 

[Backfoggen]

Better did some work for $60.

 

[El_Chino]

 

[Tiops]

Should we expect Deus Ex Human Revolution Director's Cut to get a PS4/Xbox One release soon?

Deus Ex Human Revolution Director's Cut Definitive Edition would be an awesome name.

 

[icespide]

lol forgot about Tomb Raider, but TLOU is actually selling at the inflated price

so did Tomb Raider when it came out at $60, which is $10 more than TLOU

 

[TheTux]

EatChildren, please post if you're ok.

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

Well they already said they're working on a game called "Triad Wards", didn't they?

Anyway it was a really great game, I loved that Hong Kong setting!

 

[Daft Bird]

This is pretty ridiculous. I have the game on the 360 and PC and really loved it but releasing it for the Xbone and PS4 is awful. I would rather have Triad Wars.

 

[Stone Ocean]

lol forgot about Tomb Raider, but TLOU is actually selling at the inflated price

50 bucks is not 60 bucks

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Spoiler

Meh game too.

Sounds more like you don't like the game and are therefore going to shit on it no matter what.
Yeah, TLOUR is incredibly underwhelming for someone who played the PS3 version. But there are a lot of people who didn't play it because they came from 360/Wii/PC etc.
Is that enough to warrant $50? I don't know. But if you don't like it, don't buy it.
