| twintail said: So what besides the TloU and UC remasters have made them killer money? And you do realise that profits from remasters are a drop in the ocean to what they make off game services and networking right? Nothing will really stop Sony from doing BC and remasters side-by-side. They can release TloU2 this year (doubt it but who knows), get a Lost legacy esque expansion made and have the game re-released with both the main game and expansion combined only on PS5 (the re-release with all content doesn't come to PS4), and with some bell and whistle upgrades. Done. |
If your console supports BC than you will shoot yourself in the foot with selling the remasters. Because like Steam and Xbox, gamers would expect quility of life improvements for free. Remasters only really work if the system isnt BC. Why do you think TLOU RM sold so well on PS4? (Besides the forced bundling) because there was no other way in playing it.
In this case, Sony have major competitors offering free upgrades to games much like the X and Pro versions. If you start trying to milk games by re selling them while the games work on the platform, this will create noise from angry consumers wanting these improvements for free, much like how every one else is doing it.
