I'm not buying that the costs of 3 discs outweigh the benefit of those sales. So yeah, I stick by my original sentiment that this is rather dumb.


Sony seems to be the ones who are pushing this whole Classics HD thing, they've even got a new box specifically made for them. I'm betting Sony talked Ubisoft and Warner Bros. into making the collections and probably pushed them along during the production, it also doesn't help that they can use the GOW collection as an example of success.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

This was probably the nail in the coffin.  I'm guessing the reason why they probably won't bring it to the 360 is because they can't fit all of them into 1 disc.  So now Sony has this and Sly Collection releasing in November.  Along with GT5.  *Looks at wallet*

DAM YOU SONY!!!!

Again, I'd love someone to show me a source where the price of an extra disc made a difference in whether or not a game went to a certain system. Final Fantasy and Castlevania all have multiple discs, so are you telling me they happily ate that cost, while Ubisoft refuses (as if they didn't have the money)? I'd like a link showing me where the cost of a disc is an arm and a leg as it's implied in this thread.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

yes, but Final Fantasy and Castlevania both don't retail for € 30

and the whole Microsoft royalty scheme was made popular by ID complaining that they need to fit Rage on 2 DVD's because they don't want to pay for 3.

"Carmark believes that compressing Rage textures such that the game data fits on to two XBOX 360 DVDs would result in loss of visual quality. He added that including a third disc would shoot up the royalties that id would need to pay Microsoft. Carmack is therefore seeking a concession on the royalties from Microsoft, otherwise the Xbox 360 version of Rage could be a lesser port, he stated."

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

To those wondering why it's exclusive, it's probably because:

1.  This whole "last gen games going HD" thing is an initiative started by Sony.  The only reason these games are probably getting ported at all is because Sony has been actively courting publishers to support the "Classics HD" line.  The success of the God of War Collection in particular has probably been an important selling point for Sony, showing publishers there's a market for reselling older titles on ps3.

Basically, it's a ps3-centric initiative.  For now.  I could see one publisher making the jump to 360 with one of these collections at some point (why the hell not test the waters in the other lake), and if it does well, convincing other publishers to go multiplat as a result.

And...

2.  Cramming three games on one Blu-ray is cheaper/easier than using three DVDs.  Especially if, as is the case with the Mortal Kombat Kollection, they're redoing some assets for HD, thus increasing the size of the original games over and above what they were before.  In the grand scheme of things, this is probably a incredibly tiny point, but added on top of #1 I think it helps to provide a reasonable explanation of why publishers aren't making these collections multiplat at this time.
