@Gelly This is laughable as a reply. So just shut up and take it is your argument? I've been a consumer advocate for 10 years now, because the continuing trends of the industry continually fail the consumers and bleed them more everyday. Actually you are wrong. When consumers complain and it begins to affect the bottom line of a product businesses often pivot to what consumers actually want. The reason we get live service games is you shut up and take it mentality. I don't care what's offered on PS+, the last couple of months have been lackluster in my opinion but I'm not griping about it. It just gives me more reason to not renew it in the future. Why support something I personally find lackluster? Also don't defend companies, they aren't children and will never acknowledge your 'contributions'.
Actually what I am doing is criticism. Charging MORE, not just full price, especially when the PS4 works flawlessly on PS5 is morally bankrupt. The full changes are TLOU2 combat mechanics in the game, that's it. Unless they are going to change the story, which is bull. I don't want to pay less for it because I'm never buying it. I refuse to give Sony the money telling them it's ok to upcharhe the customer for a game they probably already own. It's actually not that hard to remake this, it wasn't from the ground up. They used most of the base framework in the PS4 and ported it to a new engine, one that isn't exclusive to PS5. It's a cash grab. I'm not waiting for a sale because I can still play the first one, this is unnecessary.
@BadPlayerOne That's a stupid take. Games pass has a litany of great titles and gives me the opportunity to try games that aren't in my budget atm. Playing the Zero Escape games via games pass or Lost in Random or replaying Fable 2 for the millionth time, games pass isn't mediocre, you're just being a pony. I've been fortunate enough to own both consoles so I have no dog in that race. This remaster is still a cash grab and games being $70, especially for a game that released in 2014 at 50 is bull.
@Gelly This mentality is why we have live service games. Don't think just consume product and get excited for next product. Who gives a s**t if they've spent years working on this (hint: they haven't)? Just because you 'work hard' doesn't mean you are free from criticism. This coddling participation trophy nonsense is absurd.
@Ravix It's a cash grab because they already have a working version on PS5. They are charging premium for a game that isn't even 10 years old and has no substantial additions. Oh they added TLOU2 combat engine? So the gameplay are now only 10 years out of date rather than 15, amazing. These resources could have been used for a side story or other project with TLOU universe. They have set up a world where individual stories of survival, redemption, hope, love, anger, and hate can be explored in new and interesting ways. I have no intention of buying, I wouldn't even add it to my hard drive if it's offered as a PS+ game, I already own the game. There's no reason to get it again. Also for the hypothetical fan who played 2 and not one, that's on them fir buying a sequel before experiencing the story. The ps4 version has been around since 2014.
I actually thinks this looks like a dumb fun retelling of the first game. Yes, it seeps with early 2000's edge but to so fully revel in it makes it charming for me. Team Ninja is a good studio and I trust that the combat will be a ton of fun. I like FF enough, I love 6, 8, and 15 (go ahead boo me) but I think this is just different enough to be something new and interesting.
