MCC vs. LoU remastered.
LoU is $30 on PS3 right now. A bundle with the season pass costs $80. That's $80 worth of content for $50. It's a 1 year old game.
Halo 4 is $30 now Goty edition. Halo 3 is $13. Halo Anniversary is $19. Halo 2 is $18. $80 worth of content I suppose. The games range from 2 to 13 years old (at time of release).
Both will be 1080p 60fps and feature improved online functionality from their originals. Lest we forget that Sony has done many a 3 game HD collection for $40 in which all the games were 1080p 60fps (Sly, Jak, Ratchet). Why is it that the LoU is the one catching slack again? I'm not saying MCC is a bad value but they're basically the same value to me. Just be consistent. If you're going to insult one's value insult the other's. |
If LoU is $30 and the season pass is $20, how is there an $80 bundle? Seems like it's $50 for $50 worth of content on PS4 by your own estimation. And as plenty of others have already pointed out, you are including (an inflated) value figure for LoU DLC but none for Halo except Halo 4.
There are other factors at play, too. The Halo collection includes access to the Halo 5 beta. We saw people on here excited about buying GoW:A more than normal and seeing increased value because it had a Last of Us demo included. No reason the same logic cannot apply here. And it's not just a SP demo like that was, but the actual MP beta. It also has Nightfall, which will apparently cost $15 standalone. So there is more value.
On top of that, the MCC will be the first time you can play Halo CE MP in its original form online on consoles. That is a huge draw. Not to mention Halo 2, which can no longer be played online. All DLC included. And Halo 3, the most popular title in the franchise (sales wise). All download content included. Also, these games will be 2, 7, and 9 years old when the game comes out. If you want to play LoU you can play it with all the same content online and offline on PS3 just fine. You can't do that with all the content in MCC.
Of course it's all still subjective. If you don't care for Halo, all the content in the world won't make it a better value. Which is fine.
