Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy Standalone Versions Delisted From PlayStation Store

Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy standalone versions have been delisted from the PlayStation Store, with only the bundle available for purchase.

[Petebloodyonion]

Why should you be allowed to buy a cheap 19$ option when you can pay 40$ for both?
That strategy reminds me of Bethesda who removed the original Skyrim from the store to make sure ppl don't purchase old games + DLC so they could get a cheap upgrade and replace it with a complete package at a premium price.

[septemberindecember]

It's probably some licensing thing and they will put it back on the store in a few short weeks. The same thing happened with DKC: Tropical Freeze and Pikmin 3 when they were a few months from releasing on Switch. They were pulled on Wii U, but then were added back within a month or so.

[Nitrowolf2]

I think it’s most likely due to the loophole of getting it cheaper
Because from how it’s worded if you own either of them u qualify for the bundle, so you never owned it you could have bought either one for $20 and pay the $10 upgrade fee to get the bundle, saving you $20 overall buying the bundle directly. ($30 vs $50)

Idk if that’s right, if u own either or u get the bundle discount?

[Petebloodyonion]

I think it's a different scenario since Wii U games can't be played on Switch.
On playstation 5, PS4 games can be played so like I said, I believe that Sony removed the cheap PS4 option to be align with the upcoming PS5 release.
And like someone mentioned (if it's true) why would you pay 50$ when you can buy the standalone 19$ Ps4 version and pay a 10$ to upgrade to the PS5 version?

[septemberindecember]

@nitro @pete

If they make it to where only those who have both games get the upgrade option then that would be $40 + $10 for the upgrade, right?

IDK, we will see if they bring it back, but I have a feeling they will personally. If not this is pretty scummy.

[Terry_B]

It will just be a matter of time before both cost 20 together anyway

[monkey602]

Yeah this is poor form. Just because the cost of an upgrade is low doesn't mean it's not too much. Upgrades should be free and removing the older options from sale is being stingy. Sony need to step it up. Their direct competition has them in a chokehold in this regards, having built an entire system around free upgrades.

Do better Sony.

[Magog]

They are allowing you to upgrade to the PS5 version for $10 so this makes sense.

[LOGICWINS]

Paying for an upgrade?
🤦‍♂️

[VerminSC]

You pay $10 if you own ONE of the games and get an entire other game for free.

It’s not like these games are cross gen. This is more than fair.

That’s like paying $10 to upgrade GTA 5 and getting RDR2 upgraded for free. But people love to bitch..

[Teflon02]

I would complain, but the fact I'll get to upgrade from 4 to both for $10. I'm not even mad tbh

[Petebloodyonion]

I'm suprised how Sony is getting a free pass because they give you a 10$ upgrade for Standalone but if role were reverse and let's say MS removed the Doom eternal standalone and replaced with a Doom Eternal deluxe version at 40$ and would charge a 10$ to upgrade to the Serie X version (with same beneifit of having complete version for 10$) this would already have been the #1 news with an uproar.

[VerminSC]

It’s not the same. In your example they weren’t Including a free game… if they charged $10 to upgrade to doom eternal remastered and you also got deathloop for free than yeah I think most people would find that completely fair.

@Vermin

I don't have a problem with how Sony is handling the upgrade, though the originals shouldn't have been delisted. But I want to point out that Lost Legacy isn't a full game. It was billed as a standalone expansion. So comparing that to Deathloop doesn't make much sense. Deathloop is a brand new AAA game, not an expansion. This is more like a GOTY edition rather than getting two full games.

[Petebloodyonion]

In Doom Eternal, you are getting 2 story DLC expansions (the Ancient gods 1 and 2) that could have been sold as a standalone expansion like the previous Bethesda Standalone expansion (Wolfenstein).
Just for the info the average time to complete both DLC is around 8 hours in Doom Eternal and Uncharted Lost Legacy
So I think my example holds pretty well.

[VerminSC]

Porkchop

No, that was their intention but the game became too ambitious and was made into a full game. It released on disk, and was longer than many single player games. It had a slightly cheaper price to honor the people who payed for the delux edition of uncharted 4 and because it was shorter than Uncharted 4.

[northpaws]

Because Sony's exclusives are just that much better.

[FanboysKiller]

Another reason to buy sony games on pc.

[VariantAEC]

Or you can buy them on disc.
I know that's a novel concept.

[Stanjara]

So I can't buy Lost Legacy only? Great Sony! They really fucked up this whole upgrade thing to pull more money from people.
Let's delist Spiderman and only have Ultimate game of the year edition for $70.

They will.

[GhostofHorizon]

You complain about everything, you ever just conside playing games for fun?

Lost Legacy came out 4 years ago, if you didn't get it up until this point you probably weren't all that interested in the first place.

The game was also on Plus and you can simply pay $10 to upgrade Uncharted 4 to PS5 and get both of them.

I'm open to constructive criticism but you sound really disingenuous in your complaints.

[Stanjara]

That is not how I understand.
First of all if a game is 4 years old, and everyone played it, than why do a PS5 version at all.
Second, there are 100 mill active PSN accounts and only 15 mill PS5. Go figure.

Third, if you redeem ps plus version of any game on ps store, you are not eligible to a $10 upgrade.

And last. $10 upgrade is for both games yes, but only if you own them. So i own uc4 and I can purchase an upgrade and have legacy upgrade. But I don't have last legacy game so now...
I have to buy a PS5 bundle of both for $60 if i want a lost legacy PS5 or a PS4 version.

That is the problem.

What is here disingenuous?

Please correct me if I'm wrong Sir.

They wan PC and PS5 equivalent price, as i understand and remove cheaper option of PS4 bc Wich basically what this bundle is for full price.

[GhostofHorizon]

"Players who purchased Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, or Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End & Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Digital Bundle have the option to pay $10/€10 to upgrade to Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Digital Version."

If you only have Uncharted 4, you pay $10 and you will have both games on PS5.

[VariantAEC]

And the game is still available on disc.

Sony gets a free pass charging $69 per PS5
Game. While Series games are $59. All Current gen upgrades are free with Smart Delivery, and tons of past gen games are also getting FPS boost, sounds like Microsoft is doing a horrible job, says no gamer owning a Series console, or PC.

I will get a PS5, but I am not giving Sony a dime, for games that get a free upgrade for my Series X, and have Sony charge me for the same upgrade , on PS5 for a game I already own.

Also Series consoles have a far better backwards compatibility offering. You can put a disk in going back to the OG Xbox, and play in 4K with FPS boost. You can't do that even with many PS4 games, on PS5.
Also, certainly not a PS3 game. Almost all 360 games work on Series consoles.
Sony has many amazing IP'S. Microsoft is giving us way more options to play games we already own, with free upgrades, and making the games feel and look fresh. Also with no hassle game progression save files.

Even Nintendo makes game file transfers easier than Sony.

[Stanjara]

Yes this!

[technophobia]

Sony fans, please don't defend this! It is not consumer friendly.

Removing the existing games from the store is a terrible practice that should stop. Sony can price things whatever way you want to get the desired behaviour, but this is terrible. This trend needs to stop.

Before you lynch me: I've been fortunate to have every Sony console released to date and would consider myself a fan of their first-party studios.

[Stanjara]

Totally with you dude!

[iplay1up2]

Of course Sony fanboys will defend this. Microsoft has become the most consumer friendly, out of th big 3. Yet Microsoft gets bashed over and over. The sad part is, it is mostly fanboys, who don't play games, on the Xbox ecosystem.

Now Sony is adding PC. Now is available on PC. So Playstation games are available to PC players as well. Game Pass on my Series X, and gaming PC. Thanks Microsoft. Oh, and I have spent more money on Xbox games this year than Playstation games. Including games included with GP.

Sony is developing something to rival GP. Now Sony fans will act like Sony came up with it.
