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

1). I like what you did there. Talk about how my opinion is completely wrong. 

2) Ignore the fact that I listed a dozen games that show the Last of Us is a badly priced by your own criteria.

3) And then try and the change the issue to one about people hating the game and the ps4? Do you happen to be a politician?

1) Your idea of what makes a "bad pricing" was incorrect, was merely correcting you.

2) I didn't ignore the fact. Simply went by your own comments of stating that you felt that some of the abovementioned games were bad values as well. It looks more like you have an axe to grind more than one who was interested in a logical discussion.

3) How was that changing the issue? The point of the line was that ppl with an axe to grind can never be convinced to change their opinion. So discussing things with them usually become meaningless. Tho, to be fair, I'm still on the fence on what your intentions are so I've decided to keep the discussion going in case my initial impression about you was unfair.

In case you were serious about the list and continuing the discussion without biases:

How many of the abovementioned games are (if bought individually) is still being sold new at an equal price (in total) to the remastered offering? I am geniunely asking.

Not really a steal to me... That be like buying God of War Ascension with all DLC for $50, or Gears of war Judgement with all DLC for $50. TLOU is rated higher though.

as a PC gamer, paying $50 for a >1 year old game is unheard of


Lets be honest, a PC gamer paying for any game is unheard of



Why don't people let consumers decide if it's good value or not. Games sales should determined whether it has good value or not.

For people that haven't already bought it yeah it's a great deal. Those that have already bought it however...

That's irrelevant. I own the PS3 version and I'm not going to buy the remaster because it's not worth it to me. But that doesn't mean I think TLOUR is overpriced. I think starting at $50 for all the content that's on there is low. If anything I should be pissed that I spent significantly more than that to buy the inferior version of both the main game just one year ago and Left Behind. There's certainly no reason I should be pissed because the PS4 version is too expensive.

1) My idea is not incorrect. I was replying to someone who said "Only idiots would think that it wasn't worth $50." So my reply stems from the fact that many people can have many different reasons for thinking it's not worth $50. Whether they already own the game on the ps3, think it sucks, or just don't pay full price for games, it doesn't matter. Not everyone will think it is worth $50.

Correct me if I am wrong, but you are talking about badly priced compared to the indusry norms. Just like many other words and phrases. Badly priced can mean multiple things in the context of the situation. And in the original context the way i see it the person states that if you "as in you personally" don't think its worth $50 you are an idiot.

2) My comment was more along the lines of. While I still believe that all these remakes are ridiculous and overpriced. Even from your prespective, the game should be considered badly priced because most other remastered games are cheaper and/or come with multiple games.

3) And I thought you were changing the topic because I didn't mention anything about the playstation 4. And I never said anything negative about the actual game's quality. If that comment wasn't geared towards me then  I appologize. I just assumed it was since it was in a reply to me.

I don't give a crap about "included DLC" or "higher resolution". You released a game 1 year ago, I'm not gonna buy it again for almost full price. The people who wanna buy it and go on ahead, I'm not going to support these 1 year old "remasters".

Yes, evil Naughty Dog should never give people who never owned a PS3 / TLOU the opportunity to play this game on the PS4 they just purchased within the last months. They should make these people wait at least 3 years before they can be deserving of playing this game.

Why does time make any difference?

Well, when we complained at the price of Ground Zeroes, Konami ended up changing it a bit. So even if "it's a steal", complaining is never bad :P



why people who already played the ps3 version have to play it again on ps4?
just dont buy.

for those who didnt play the ps3 version, the price is very good.
