Family-fuelled downloadable title Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is getting the re-release treatment on PlayStation 4 later this year, publisher 505 Games has revealed. The original PlayStation 3 version of the game launched back in 2013, to much critical acclaim.
Following the story of - you guessed it - two brothers, the siblings embark on a quest to save their father from an illness. A whimsical and sometimes downright disturbing world awaits them, which is filled with both wonder and danger in equal measure. We reckon that it's one of those releases that's well worth playing at least once, so here's hoping the new-gen port attracts those who missed out the first time around.

I alread have it on PS3 as it was part of the instant game collection. I definitely enjoyed the game, but as is with alot of PS3 games I got on PS+ I didn't finish it. I think I got around half way. I'll definitely pick this up on PS4 as to support the developers and to actually finish this wonderful game.
I haven't heard about this game before it hits the PS Plus as I began to play i found myself fully immersed in the game, what a wonderful and sad history it tells.
So is there an established method for treating PS3 games on PS4?
As @WARDIE mentioned above this game was in the PS+ collection. (I finished it, it was a good game, except for 1 part where you had to hang from a pipe then jump to another, that had wonky control camera issues.)
Are people who have this game as part of PS+ expected to pay full price for it on PS4? I can understand all the remasters like GTAV and TLoU being "resold" on PS4, but an indie download that will probably look and play almost the same?
Just curious how PS+ games transfer to PS4.
@Neolit - So there's no set policy? Thanks.
If I were a publisher of an indie on PS3 that made it to PS+, knowing so many PS4 owners have PS+, I'd make sure my PS4 version was different then if I wanted to charge people for it as if it were a new game. Something like Guacamellee did w/ their STCE. Or Street Fighter constantly does.
Not saying they shouldn't port it, but they can't expect a lot of people to double dip for games like that, adn I know some people switched allegiances form Micorsoft this gen so it may be new to them.
And I may be cheap, but I don' texpect my game purchases to cross company boundaries. I don't expect games I bought in iTunes on iOS (had a Touch for a year) to be playable on Android. Or games I bought on PS3 to be playable on Wii U (there are 1 or 2). But PS3 to PS4, especially if I've been paying for PS+ and already had it, I'd expect it to be playable on PS4.
Of course I'd expect games I bought on Wiiware to be playable on Wii U, but Nitneod charges a $1.50 "upgrade" charge. Better than $8 or $10 though. Of course there are very few that even made the HD jump.
Not a bad game once you get used to the dual-stick control...
@WARDIE you should definitely go back and finish it, it's a great little game and only about 3-4 hrs long from memory (can't remember exactly but I know I did it in one sitting). One of the few games to really hit me emotionally.
