| NightDragon83 said: Your comparison to movies / music is flawed. Difference is we didn't get VHS to DVD and DVD to HD/Blu Ray remasters of movies, or vinyl to cassette and cassette to CD a year apart from one another. I've no problem with say Nintendo rereleasing old N64 games with better textures and in 3D today for example. It's a little hard to swallow all these "definitive" rereleases of games that just came out within the past year or so at full MSRP however. |
That happened during transition periods, and it will happen again with 4k blu-ray coming next year.
Plus movies are all about remasters. They release in the theaters first, with a digital/physical remaster half a year to a year later. Movies have tons of remasters on the same format. For the big movies, you'll get an extended cut a year later. Then after a series is complete you get the box set. During the DVD era you had superbit collection rereleases, on blu-ray you have 4K mastered rereleases, or simply rereleases with better codecs. All at full price.
Games have always had so called goty editions on the same format, a year later, usually with some dlc or other extras included. Yet nobody cares about that. When the goty edition is on a new system and actually runs better it's a problem?
