 Unsurprisingly, you defend Club.

Club an HD remake, not 1080p, with online multiplayer, costs 50$ while the original was completely free.

Tlou:RE was a 1080p 60 fps remake with 20 dollars worth of dlc, costs 50$, while the original was 60$.

Seems to me TLOU:RE is only worse for you because is made by Sony, yah I said it, 

You can't say biased crap like worse or better, no that isn't gonna fly, its either all bad or none of it is. 

You want to complain about a remake after a year that Sony made once, completely ignoring the fact that the reason you are so offended in the fact that the of TLOU:RE is because Sony, and to a degree MS with the 360, actually supports their console long enough for this to happen. Further more game of the year editions aren't new and only some of them of them are discounted.

 

Hell how can you even suggest TLOU:RE as a bad move is beyond me, if your suggesting a cross release on PS4 and PS3, then one an already completely game is delayed would be delayed for 8 months, consumers would be charged 60$ for both versions and the PS4 would not have any of that DLC, until it was released costing another 20 dollars.

You're telling me that saving the consumer 30$ is low brow and anti consumer? Really, how about that.

Wait a moment, something isn't right here. I'll explain.

Club is more or less an experiment by Nintendo over how people will react to a new pricing model ($1.99 day pass, $9.99 club pass for one sport). Well, sooner or later they realized that they badly needed retail releases, and released the complete collection on retail (after the release of the final sport on the eShop, naturally.) for $40.

Take note! The original Wii Sports was bundled with the Wii, giving the impression that it was "free." Wii Sports Club was released far after the original Wii Sports and Wii Sport Resort. I don't see it as a cash grab in that sense, but...

...It was a cash grab in the sense that it got a retail release announced after the digital versions had already been released. The same was true for the NES Remixes.

And, that, my friend, is why I consider retail Wii Sports Club to be as bad a cash grab as TLoU:R. A lot of people prefer physical ovr digital, you know. I purchase the PS3 version, and only then do they announce the PS4 version?!

I'm saying they are both bad in a sense. You could use that same rationalization on TLOU:RE because no other remakes have been made as close to the original release as this one. Can we really suggest that waiting longer to release TLOU:RE would make more sense? And frankly your decision to buy the PS3 version was required owning a PS3, yet that PS3 version was only GOTY till after the PS4 released.

Even if you bought TLOU after the PS4 released, can you really say that you would by a PS4 for TLOU? Cause that game was heavily underated until it won like 200 awards. The only reason a dev would make a lauch exclusive is if Sony paid for the losses the game would see by selling on a platform with no user base. Look at what happened to Knack, why do you think ISS wasn't a launch title and instead a launch window title.

The same justification could be used to defend  TLOU:RE.

And regardless of whether or not  its an experiment, its still a cash grab for the orignal owners of the game.

Thus, Sony and Nintendo are both guilty of it, Microsoft probably not but they have done many other things anyway. To suggest that Sony is the devil because of TLOU:RE is ridiculous.

And this offtopicness has gone far enough.

TLOU:RE will always have the haters, but its not like they are doing shit and they aren't even making good points for their claim.

I mean surely making you buy the game for entire generation to get the maximum sales of a game, and then remaking it to get even more sales is worse then a couple people double dipping over a couple of months.

And Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft have all made remakes, making you buy generation old games again. Where is that touted backwards compatibility for Wii Sports?
