The only reason I could see shelling out money for this is on Switch or Steam Deck for portability. It certainly isn't worth the full price though, even then. Not when you can play the original for dirt cheap. Might grab it when it's 50-75% off on sale for Switch. So sad Rockstar couldn't be bothered to even put any effort into giving this game the remaster it deserved.

DankSinatra251d ago

Blame take two. They're the ones who has all the say so for Rockstar games. And they're the ones pulling the price BS here.

PhillyDillyDee250d ago

They’re one in the same these days. If you dont believe me, check the long list of veteran staff departures over the last decade. Rockstar, like blizzard, is just a shambling corpse. We will probably never see anything other than lazy ports and a gta once a decade from here out.

badz149251d ago (Edited 251d ago )

Nintendo got lots of free passes selling ports of Wii U games for $60 though...

ken2813251d ago

They didn’t get 1 for me. I called them out. Nintendo only released about 5 brand new games. The rest was Wii U ports

DankSinatra251d ago

No they dont. This website is the most anti-Nintendo website and has enough articles to fill a museum. But nearly all of Nintendo's ports has actually upgraded aspects of the games. From frame rate to resolution to upgraded graphics to adding in all DLC(or new dlc) with the package. This is nearly a direct port (upgraded resolution but that's it) and they even removed the multiplayer. So compare what Nintendo does with what Rockstar (actually Take Two) is doing.

Smok91251d ago

I saw a lot of criticism toward Nintendo for doing so. That’s just me though.

badz149251d ago

what I really meant was free passes from Nintendo fans. they gobbled those games up like no tomorrow

Neonridr251d ago

pretty sure Sony re-released a bunch of games on the PS5 again.

Hypertension140250d ago (Edited 250d ago )

@Neonridr

The difference is that it will drop in price eventually, unlike Nintendo.
Sony or should i say everyone else does a better job at re-releases than Nintendo, locking features behind an amiibo? What the hell is that?

I've never played the original version. The only way I plan on buying this is if the entire game is on the cart when the physical version comes out in October. It will be a brand new experience to me and $50 really isn't terrible or a deal breaker, but it could have been maybe $30-40

MoonConquistador251d ago

It's such a fantastic game, and if you've never owned or played it then you'll certainly get your money's worth.

It just sticks a bit in the throat for those of us who already have the game for PS3 and paid for the DLC etc.

The pricing is just the same issue as the GTA remasters all over again

MetroidFREAK21251d ago

No, I get the discourse... trust me I understand... but as someone like I mentioned who has never played the game, I can swallow the $50 pill more than others. At the same time, yeah its a lot for a port. I get it

PhillyDillyDee250d ago

Theres a good chance that the cart will end up being a download key for this one. Make sure you do your research before you take the plunge.

MetroidFREAK21250d ago

Trust me, I'm watching like a hawk. Won't buy until I know the answer either way

repsahj251d ago

$20-$30 is the sweet spot for this port.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming16d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long16d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming16d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10116d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor16d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6916d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming16d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno16d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming16d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast30d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg30d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai46d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos46d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8946d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg30d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
