There was condemnation of the industry’s decision to transition to $70 new releases at the start of the PS5 generation. For many, this price point breaks a psychological barrier, with software simply too expensive to be justified. Some have argued that cartridge-based software in the 90s was more costly, especially when adjusted for inflation; others have pointed out that budgets on AAA titles have exploded over the past decade. Either way, the prices aren’t coming down.
Elden Ring Nightreign Review - Nightreign isn't merely a multiplayer spin-off; it's a testament to FromSoftware's ability to innovate.
Marketing analyst estimates over 2 million units of The Last of Us Part II Remastered sold during HBO Season 2.
If true, this is why Sony keeps making them. A lot of "gamers" might complain or cry about it. But as long as these things keep making money, they will keep doing it and ignore all those complaining online
You are absolutely correct end of fbe day money talks and so far their remastered/remakes have generated a lot of money
So y'all are more worried about a companies pockets than your own entertainment? Are you pretending to like the same game being re-realeased each year?
@cosmic That's pretty much implied. Keep doing the same thing because it makes the company money forget my entertainment as long as they get richer. Instead of demanding more. If this was anyone else there would be backlash and it would be real that's a fact.
In a nutshell yes that is good the game is getting more attention more than ever thanks to the show I understand and acknowledge that. I'm saying all it promotes is more re-releases and remasters from games that don't need it.
This isn't an argument for the low-hanging fruit, but this here is exactly why Sony - and others - will keep producing them. Dev costs are low. Profitability is high. It's low risk, high reward. And given the skyrocketing costs in the AAA space, projects like this help fund future titles. I don't like it, and I'd much rather Sony - and others - release new titles, but I sure as hell understand why it happens.
Whats the point of making new games when you can keep releasing old ones 😂 they keep buying so why not?
Pair open-world exploration with an immersive outer space setting, and the result is what players get in these incredible space games.
I am seeing more games doing early access for the more expensive editions. It’s the new day one. That’s on top of the $100CAD we’re already paying after tax. Something’s gotta give.
With the quality of AA and AAA games at launch...pre-ordering is for suckers.
I have no issues with companies getting money from certain gamers as long as it doesn't give them any competitive advantage. All this extra stuff keeps the base price down.
So if someone wants to pay $30 extra to play the game 3 days early. Go for it.
Its such a scum move to charge extra to play a game early. It doesn't affect me on a personal level, but these companies should WORK HARD for the money, and gamers shouldn't be supporting this B.S., bending over to these trash companies handing over their money for anything and everything.
You give an inch, they want to take a mile. If gamers had any brains left, they'd actually show that they have control over the situation, by not supporting awful business practices. Alas, its not meant to be!
Quote from the article I've been saying this since starfield and it drives the point home perfectly
"Make no mistake, “early access” is not “early access” – it’s the game’s release date. If anything, the traditional $70 versions of titles are being delayed in order to upsell fans on expensive Ultimate Editions."
