That is total bullshit, a game that has been developed for cheap should be priced accordingly and not be priced higher because it's a remake of a timeless masterpiece. Also by what metric is Wind Waker a timeless masterpiece and Shadow of the Colossus (you know the game that you get with ICO in the HD Collection for $40) isn't? Because it sells for more on Ebay? Cause if that's the reason, then I have another game that apparently is a much bigger masterpiece than Wind Waker and SotC together: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_nkw=ncaa+college+basketball+2k3+gamecube&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1 |
You want metrics? Well going by ebay (you know, the place where the rare things are more expensive) ico and sotc sold much fewer copies, 0.5m and 1.1m respectively, than wind waker which sold 4.6m. So you'd think ico and sotc would be more expensive and harder to find except Nintendo fans don't sell their games. Maybe it's because they are timeless as in they don't look or play like shit no matter how many decades pass by. If that's not a good enough metric for ya then see metacritic.. find your own metric. What ever works for ya. Imo a great work doesn't diminish in value.
