Forums - Gaming - Sony is looking at remastering PS3 titles the same way Disney remasters movies

Cept you already have (and played) the PS3 game, this product was obviously not meant for you (tho you are more than welcome to get it), so what are you complaining about?


No, its not meant for us who have the PS3 version. Theyve made that very clear. 

Even EA, Ubisoft and Activision didnt have the balls to do this.

Logic dictates that a person wouldn't want to spend much (if any) on a game they already played/bought. So why should Sony cater its pricing for you?

And again, gonna go back to my Blu Ray collector's edition analogy. You don't get a discount if you buy the collector's efition after you've bought the normal one.

The practice of giving discounts or incentives to early adaptors just becase you're coming up with an improved product  is not a market norm. It is sometimes done when the newer improved product has trouble selling as a form of promotion but it is certainly not expected.

Well I dont complain about not getting DLC cheaper if I bought the game. The DLC are new stuff. CE of games usually come out at the same time the game launches.

No, I wont. I like many Nintendo products, but I dont give them any less shit if they pull stuff like this.

Alright, then start a thread bashing them for removing BC with the Gamecube, which actually would be easy and cheap (again, based on the same tech), just so they can remaster Gamecube games and FORCE people to buy them.


Ive never started a thread bashing Sony for the remasters either...

No, but you sure are doing a lot of that in here, while giving Nintendo a complete pass on their "cashgrabs."  Quite hypocritical.  Either bash both, or if you don't want to bash Nintendo, don't bash Sony for doing what Nintendo has done, and will continue to do, with some of their older titles.  And, as some others have pointed out, this isn't taking away from any other exclusive Sony has in the pipelne.  They have a MUCH stronger lineup, this year and next, both exclusive and 3rd party, when compared to Nintendo.  So, maybe Nintendo is the one who shouldn't have wasted their time on remasters.

1) Well I dont complain about not getting DLC cheaper if I bought the game.

2) The DLC are new stuff.

3) CE of games usually come out at the same time the game launches.

1) Ok?

2) Why are we talking about DLC now? Weren't we discussing remasters? 

3) My CE analogy was based on movies. And was (y'know) an analogy about purchasing a product again and not getting discounts for it.

Why is this?

1. Because Sony was too cheap to make PS4 backwards compatible.

2. Because they want to make $$$$ off of making people buy games again.

3. Because it's cheaper to "remaster" an already made game, than to make a whole new game.

4. Sony is in a bit of money trouble, all around, so for them, whether it seems tacky to gamers or not, makes financial sense.


3 and 4 i think. They probably can't make AAA games like they used to beacause of the financial disaster they got themselves into.

Instead of buying gaikai, they should have invested in new ips or big games sequels.

I just said that Nintendo did alot with WWHD. I never said it wasnt a cash grab. I cant complain about everyone in a thread about TLOUR or Sonys stance on remasters.

If I see a thread about how Nintendo are doing something I dont think is right, then Ill complain about it in there.

Nope. You said a few times that Wind Waker HD cannot be compared to The Last of Us Remastered. Cut the crap.

Yes, it cant. WWHD is a much more improved product imo.

Because you have a very unreasonable bias. You won't admit it. But it's in plain sight for everyone else.
