Assuming that you're a WiiU owner and assuming that you aquired Wind Waker (the odds are about 1 to 6), what made you then, if it's your case, buying it? And the game is nerver bellow $40 right now. I also assume it was about $50 when it came out, but fans still got it and it is still selling despite the price being consistently above the mid-price mark. What excuse can you give about this?

Let's forger GTA and TR for a moment. How come nobody is bitching about porting Metro 2033 or Payday 2?

And as was already mentioned, there were dozens of GOTY versions last-gen, usually within a year of release, and most people were actually happy about it.

Only because of all these TLOUR haters, I so wish that the game sells two million copies. I know it won't, but it sure would be fun to read the forums...

Metro 2033 was never on the PS3 and is being remade using Last Light's graphics engine.  Plus you're also getting Last Light.

Yes, but it was on X360 and is still getting remade for XOne. And on XOne it probably won't be 1080p/60fps. 

So what's the point of that port?

Hey, don't be so pessimistic.

2mil is very possible in my opinion maybe even more, Sony is going to push this, maybe even bundle it around the holidays or something. I think it has become very apparent that Sony wants to make TLOU into one of their carrying franchises this gen, I'm personally expecting to at least get up to TLOU 3 on PS4 (though I personally would have been happy if it stayed at one) and I'm almost hundred percent sure that the secret project that is in planning stages at ND right now is TLOU 2.

Make it a Open world TLOU MMO and there will be one very happy user in VGC (and it isn't me)... how much would you love to have teenager Ellie hunting out the fireflies?

Oh, I've seen the sig of that user.

And if we got something like this, that'd be so freaking awesome:

Many PS4 owners weren't PS3 owners. The game is a gem and now new players to the Playstation brand can enjoy it. I think that fact alone makes it worthwhile.



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

It is Nintendo and all their games are gold and shouldn't ever be sold for less than 60 so they don't depreciate the immesurable value of the fun the onwers that bought it on release had.

It's going to sell a lot: people that migrated to PS4 from 360-Wii and people that like games at 1080p 60 fps, but I still think that remastering the game so early is bad. Bad because it allows them to not lower the price of the game of both versions in a year or two, and because the lack of backwards compatibility makes this remake necessary, even when the game is barely one year old.

Well, if Nintendo has shown us anything it's that you can keep the prices of your games high for years if you just have the right demand, no remasters or anything needed for that (fun fact: Mario Kart Wii is more expensive than TLOU PS3 on Amazon.com right now)


That's true. In my main videogame store Kirby Return to Dreamland and Mario Galaxy 2 are still 50€. The ones on the Select Collection are only 25, though. I have even seen Metroid Other M for 8€. Lol.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

For you it isn't worth the asking price (for me as well), but the posture of the article is that the game itself isn't worth and that Sony is just robbing everybody, while others when doing it is acceptable.

Oh right. Yeah this article is dumb. TLOU is better value than Tomb Raider or GTA V are as well.

I think it's too early to drop the price to that level, the PS3 version is still more expensive than that. Besides while it may be too expensive to people who already bought the original it certainly isn't for people that didn't.

No I know. I'm just saying that I won't consider buying it until it reaches that price. Also I haven't played the game before.

Do you want TLOU2 to be a music game??? To kill all the enemies with the power of your gig?? You can have that with "Rock of the Dead" on PS3 altough not with the same great graphic /jk... Ellie is a strong girl, she would be an stronger character than Lara Croft when Teenager, she have meet true horror in her childhood more than even Lara had.

I got Wind Waker for free with MK8.

You are sensible... I don't think to much will double dip at full price... the U$50,00 is aimed at the first buyers that hadn't had a PS3 or didn't bought there because tought (and right) that it will release on PS4... but I will certainly buy it for 20,00 if the game is good.
