Well the signs are allready emerging. They are still taking PR shots at MS in 2014 where as Xbox reps are largely praising Sony/Nintendo. You have the $60 cash grab LOU remastered compared to the value-rich Master Chief Collection. PS4 PS+ games are nowhere as numerous or good (lack of AAA) as PS3 PS+ games. PS Now rental prices = WTF.

I dunno, seems Sony is starting to take advanatge of winning and price gouging where they can in subtle ways.  They are lucky their fans are doing most of the heavy lifting to preserve the notion that Sony loves them unconditionally.


This is very predictable bost for a huge MS fan to make.

This dig is especially cheap:

"You have the $60 cash grab TLOU remastered compared to the value-rich Master Chief Collection."

More value rich!? I challenge that!! How much does TLOU retail for? How much does all the DLC cost? So Halo 1,2,3,4. The last two won'tbe touched up and the 1st will be the equivalent of a 360 game. So only 2 is getting the full treatment.

Still, everyone and their grandma knows that TLOU on PS4 will look much better than Halo 2 on X1. 

One could argue that Halo 1,2 and 3 are showing their age so much that they will compare unfavourably with modern fps titles. Halo 4's multiplayer was widely criticized (by fans especially).

Most importantly, TLOU is one of the most acclaimed games of all time and it's just 1 year old. Hence the game (with regards to design, gameplay and principles) isn't archaic (as Halo 1, 2 and possibly 3 is).

How about we compare sales and see which game is appreciated more?

You can get Halo Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo 4 + all maps and DLC for $55, as I type this post out. TLOU is still $40 ($30 in some places). Left Behind is $15 and the 2 map packs are $10 a pop. So for $50, you're getting $65 in value at the least, $75 at the most. The MCC, $60 gets you....whatever you'd value a Halo 2 remaster to be, since all the other content is available right now, as it will appear in the collection, for $55. I won't put a dollar amount on Halo 2 , certainly higher than $5 remaining between what you can get right now and how much the collection will retail for, but at the end of the day, it's still just a remake of a 10 year old game.

But how dare someone say the value in TLOU is comparable. Getting $75 in content for $50 is laughable when you can get $55 dollars in content plus a ten year old game for $60. And the Halo collection is 4 games! And 4 > 1. That means the God of War Saga or MGS Legacy Collection must be god's gift to earth since you can get even more old games with HD remasters for $50! Even though if you just buy the games separately, you'd spend less money! Because that's how "value" works
