Good ole' Sony - Take away backwards compatibility and then repackage old games.
But hey, I guess that's why they call them "cows"
do you have ANY idea how costly it would be to put ps3 backwards compatibility in a ps4? you'd be bitching nonstop about the price of the system because there's no way in hell they could emulate it.
But yes, continue trying to say them releasing a game plenty of people never played because it came out a couple of months before the ps4 launch is a bad idea.
I know you're right about the BC. But didn't the game recently post its sales numbers and they are quite impressive. How many more people are looking to play it for the first time, that don't own a PS3? Are you saying this meaning world population? Most of the people in this thread that are excited for this are people that played it already, and are just graphics whoring. Business wise as I said before, Kudos to Sony. As I did last gen when paying for the right to play MP on a disc I already paid for was bad, I gave kudos to MS for the same reasons. They found a way to make easy money and that's why they are in business. Now Sony is doing it with "True HD" remakes. Neither company is greedy or evil. They just sell what we are willing to give them money for.
i hope that's not the box art tbh. i hope that is some fan's homage.
That's obviously a mockup. Anybody who's taken an visual design course can tell you that that's far too cluttered and distracting and commits basic layout no-nos. Hell, people that haven't taken a course can tell you.
don't know how i feel about buying this. 60$ would be just a slap in the face in my opinion. i already have it for ps3 anyways. a 9.99 upgrade i'd have no problem with though.
Also the lems sounding off in here are gonna look really silly when MS announces the immense rehash of all the Halos in one lil package. Hell, silly still, if they just announce Halo 2 HD anni, heh.
Sheesh, Got Milk? Poor Sony and the SW Cows, you'd think they would at least wait 10 years to remake a game like MS did and is doing with Halo CEA and Halo 2A.
It already has the game play. So you can keep QQ'ing. Game is amazing and well worth another buy.
Guess the truth does hurt you. It already has the gameplay, and they're going to charge for that exact same gameplay again. At least with COD and BF it's got a number or a cheap "new" campaign. Gamers complain about yearly rehashes but you're buying a game that is a year old, that looks very good on the PS3. Really? 9 months and not much of a graphical leap later? Well we all assess value for our own money. But cows wouldn't accept that answer in regards to non Sony things. "QQ'ing"? Ooh he uses internet, cool way of talk!!!! Yeah, you are the target audience fella.

Halo 2A > Sony. :P
what does it matter how long it's been? Rehash is still a rehash. People coming over from the 360 can now play the Last of Us
OT: Here's the PS3 version....now imagine the PS4 version...holy..
Also the lems sounding off in here are gonna look really silly when MS announces the immense rehash of all the Halos in one lil package. Hell, silly still, if they just announce Halo 2 HD anni, heh.
What? Halo 2 is ten years old and never been in HD. This game is 9 months old and in high definition already. There isn't much comparison of those two offerings. One is from 2 generations ago, the other is from NINE months ago. A woman who got pregnant the night TLOU came out is giving birth and TLOU is being sold to gamers again. Halo 2 is being sold again and my nephew who wasn't born for it the first time, is 8. There is little comparison there.
I never want to read a complaint again about "yearly rehash" when it comes to Assassins Creed, COD, BF, Mario, Halo by the gamers who have played this and are wetting themselves about this, again. LOL

It's still a rehash and people will buy it again if they like the game enough. Just like TLOU.

Oh spare me. You know damn well there is some serious hypocrisy in gamers if they can piss and moan about COD, BF, Assassins Creed but will buy the same game in a new package with a slight bump in graphics a year later. And I'll take a 10 year old game getting the HD treatment the way Halo did. Do you think you'll be able to hit the select button and see the difference the time has made like you can with Halo Anniversary? Doubt it.
I don't think this is a bad idea at all, but not for full price. I'm hoping all next-Gen remakes aren't full 60 bucks price. Its really only better graphics and dlc. That goes for all Halo or if they do it, Gears remake. Just don't charge full price for better graphics.

Agreed. I think the consensus is that $40 would be the acceptable price point.
There's no way I'd buy this if I had a PS4, unless it was about 20.00. I've already played through TLOU and Left behind. I can't justify rebuying the game to with prettier graphics.

If you're putting it down to semantics like that by including those types of franchises you could say that one rehash would have been enough, now they are rehashed every year and have been for many years. MS & Sony rehashing, once, one of their top selling games for their brand new spanking systems that are capable of improving what was done in the past is a no brainer. So for people to whine about TLOU now and to later this holiday cheer for Halo 2 anni is ridiculous haha. Not to mention there could be revamps of allHalo games within that package, as per the rumour.

$40 sounds good. And for people who never played it, at that price that would be a great deal. I would certainly pay 40 for a Gears of War 1 remake on the One.

I'm guessing this and other remakes will be full price, like Tomb Raider and Zelda Wind Walker.

I think if it was on the store too if you waited a couple of weeks it would come down as well. Tomb Raider is like $30 on PSN right now.

Sadly, you're probably right. But I'm not paying full price if I already bought the game and this addition is just better graphics. I have no issue with double dipping, but now double full prices. No way to that.

Yep. Even if it is full price at first, it'll drop very fast.
@lancex2: games running on Windows doesn't make them Microsoft exclusives. Microsoft sees no royalties from that unless they actually published the game.

sorry Charlie
Again, name the OS that can play it that isn't Windows? The point for MS is if you play it on a MS OS you are in their ecosystem and you are staying there because you cannot play the game anywhere else. That makes it exclusive. Before you reply, again, name the OS that will play this game that is not Windows. Don't worry, I'll wait.
playstation exclusive so now we can say Microsoft exclusive and its fine right?
Since it seems as if you're talking to no-one in this topic in a failed attempt to get a 'ryse'(lel) out of people I'll throw you an(X)bone. I'm pretty sure arguments for titanfall always ended in 'Microsoft exclusive' regarding fanboy squabbles so I'm not sure what the problem is here. A few differences however, there is no PC version of TLOU which is the main reason Titanfall's exclusivity comes into question, and it has nothing to do with caring about what OS runs on your comp, people could have bought what ever Windows they run an age ago. The point is that you could buy a superior version of that game that wasn't on consoles*(*Both 360 & Xbone). So to say PS3 has lost its best exclusive is a pretty hollow statement considering the PS3's generation is done, add to that the snowballing success the PS4 has been and more 360 users dropping Xbox for PS this gen I doubt anyone is going to put money down for a PS3 just to play an inferior version of one game.
misterp , a game being on multiple systems means it isn't exclusive. Therefore TLOU will lose its exclusive title and become part of the playstation family not PS3 exclusive. Its funny actually

I'm sure people know that lol. But what you're arguing is that ps3 will lose its best exclusive at a time when no-one's going to be buying the console any more. Do you not see how pointless the argument is now? If this had been mid gen and TLOU was announced for PC then yes you can say that PS3 would have been losing one of its best selling exclusives.

I disagree. 10 years, non HD or 1 year already HD is not semantics. I just don't see how anybody can call these companies like Activision greedy anymore. I'd call them stupid for NOT releasing yearly. People will buy anything.

It is when they're both rehashes by definition. Just because one is older than the other doesn't defeat the point they're both getting redone for the new consoles. People may still have original Xboxs and may still play Halo 2, like a lot of people still have PS3s to play TLOU. More to the point they are both system sellers, both will sell comfortably to new audiences, it's not like they have announced the HD rehashing of both opposing libraries of Gen 7. I don't think I've ever called activision greedy. Agree on your last point.

yeah, still not buying it. Ever play Halo Anniversary? Did you see what they did? It wasn't just a tightening up of textures, resolution. You can flip from 2001 to 2011 and see what was done. It went from a SD to An HD with up to date, 10 year improvement in graphics. As I said nobody has a problem with upgrading those games that were from that era or older. I don't really have a problem with TLOU, I just love laughing at cows. The game is 9 months old, and these consoles are ripped for not being a significant jump. But people will buy it again.
