Director’s cut versions are the new Game of the Year (GOTY)/Complete/Deluxe versions with a few enhancements.
Don’t know why people are “disgusted” or complaining, it’s been happening for a long time.

I agree with games that have day one DLC, or DLC just a couple weeks after launch.
But to release an edition with extra content *2 years* later like death stranding? Clearly the full game was released in 2019 and it was worth what people were willing to pay.
Edit: And even in the case of GoT it's over a year after launch.

TBF on DQXI. The game was rebuilt and essentially remade for Switch Hardware on a different version of UE4. Switch did not support the older version of UE4. The new content was incompatible with the older versions. Rather than scaled down like many UE ports. The S version of the game was built for Switch. |
Which is weird cause the game was announced on the Nintendo NX in 2016, it's like they didn't know the hardware back then

There's a lot of games in the industry--it's impossible to keep track of every single game. But the first one that comes to mind is Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. They added a new story called Future Connected that they didn't charge for. It was included in the remaster. |
Xenoblade is actually a remake, the new character models and Future connected is a way for the game to appear more like a prequel to Xenoblade 2
| brute said: Remasters and ports have become more frequent than ever in the past few years. It's a way for companies to make a quick buck and they are popular among fans as can be seen by the sales of certain games. However (and this may also just be wishful thinking) I believe companies should do what Sony did with Ghost of Tsushima add new content to the remaster, vs just a resolution update or small quality of life improvements. This should be the next step for future remasters and ports. Additions like this will attract positive press and reviews and should increase interest in the release. The extra sales will make up for the extra effort. Plus, they'll have a valid excuse to charge full or near full price for the rerelease. Most remasters include the DLC (if the game previously had any) but I dont recall any other remasters or ports outside of Ghost of Tsushima to add new content to its release. At least note since RE4 for PS2! |
This isn't new. I can think of a few ports that had new content added in the past few years right off the top of my head:
Nintendo is giving you another chance to play Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker if you completely missed it on the Wii U. The gaming giant is releasing the puzzle game for the Switch and the 3DS -- it's even adding new levels and mechanics to amp it up for the new consoles.
The deal is sweetened by Bowser’s Fury, a short new 3D Mario game that comes bundled with 3D World and feels like a bonus world for the Switch’s native Super Mario Odyssey.

You're right, this is the exact same shit. This should not exist either.

It also had a hitch in development. Around 2017 or 2018 they said they had to move to a new engine and redo some work. Which caused a delay into 2019. We saw nothing of that version for a long time until close to release.

Absolutely disagree. Director's Cuts shouldn't exist, and remasters should be super cheap. True remakes are acceptable, and are really the only thing of this sort that I want to see more of.
Don't give them more excuses to re-re-release the same games again and again. Remakes, remasters, VR versions, GOTYs, Director's cut... They'll take any excuse to not lower the price, don't give them more.

A remake is built from the ground up new, updating character models does not change the description of remaster or remake. A good portion of remasters update models, textures, etc. a remake is remaking everything. It’s kinda the whole point of calling it a “remake”.
As for Future Connected, it doesn’t matter what you consider it’s “purpose” to be, that doesn’t make it invalid when it comes to extra content.
