Forums - Sony Discussion - TLOU Dev Fires Back At Those Who Feel $50 Is Too Much For PS4 Version “It’s a Steal”

Some people are just very impatient. Do they even realize how it was a pain in the ass it was for Naughty Dog to port this game onto PS4, especially when they used all 8 SPU cores from the PS3 just to make the game shine on that platform?

Good grief.

TLOS + uncharted trilogy ps4 for 50 bucks = steal



Its most certainly not a steal. Its even less of a steal when considering the far superior deal of MCC being offered by M$.

This is just padding for their pathetic library, and they can't even price it like padding for people who already own it but would like to transition it up to PS4. MCC is padding too but its priced as padding, and provides two remastered games and two recent games all into one set, playable on the next gen console. The equivalent here would have been TLOUR + Uncharted Trilogy ported to PS4.



TLOU dev fires back at those who have opinion with a biased opinion of his own.

Why is gta5 and tomb raider off the hook? If people wanted to moan about value then tomb raider is the worst. The xbone and ps4 version is just a more stable pc version on high settings.

 


GTA5 on last gen was a money grab. they released it earlyer with a lot of bugs to grab some of the lastgen money.

and they havnt released the PC version the same time because that would have hurted the sales of the much inferior lastgen version.

Hot off the press, that is just retarded. It's as though you didn't read my post. Brush up on your reading comprehension skills, it'll help. Alot. 

you know, there simply is no way to read the Devs tweets as "basically tell(ing) people they're idiots for not wanting to pay $50 for a remake", which is why I disregarded anything related to that entirely (so much for reading comprehension)

what remained is that you think polishing/optimization of a feature complete game is not "real work", implying you are fine with (usually nearly unplayable) betas and that you don't want the devs/publisher to receive money from your buy, because you perceived somebody who doesn't even work on TLoUR as "a dick"



i will probably be banned for this but.. If Nintendo did the exact same thing with one of their games they would get so much hater that it's not even funny (and no WW isn't the same beacuse that's a 10 +year old game not 1+)



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

I'm gonna go rage at my local bookstore that they're not giving me the last book I bought as an ebook as well. I mean, it's clearly the same thing, there was almost NO effort put into making it into an ebook, so I DESERVE to have it.
Also, my folks have some films on DVD. Gonna go rage at the retailers because they won't hand me over the BluRay versions of that as well. And whatever will come after that, 4K or whatever. I deserve to get anything that will ever come out because I've bought the original in some form or another.

I dunno, it's only gamers that are so caustic about this sort of stuff. Heck, I'm pretty sure nobody was making a fuss over buying SuperMario on the NES and then not being given the same game for the SNES.
"But it's a rip off for consumers!!!!11111eleven"
Why?
Is the game bad now, thus making its value lower? I assume not.
Are you forced to buy it on your brand spanking new console? I assume not.
You did NOT pay to have it on the PS4. You have paid to have it on the PS3. It was a PS3 EXCLUSIVE. Moan and bitch as much as you want, but you only get what you paid for. I mean, if my customers came and asked me to change a system I've installed for them to work at wholly different parameters, they would have to pay full price. Even if it was to come and do 5 minutes of work, they would have to file it as a new project and pay the premium price that we charge for any work done outside of the original contract.
Far as I'm concerned, it's the same thing now. If the box I bought the game on doesn't specify it'll be available to me on any other system, for no extra price - cross buy a la PS Vita - than I accept the fact that it'll cost what it'll cost so I may play it on something different. If anyone doesn't like that, they can just not buy the damn thing.
Always vote with your wallet.



Here is a very simple, but very meaningful piece of advice:

"If you don't like it, don't buy it."
