It was a fun game to play at the arcades back in the days, but after so many years, $8 is an insanely high amount to pay for a simple port without any value addition on a modern console.
They should consider themselves lucky simply because people invested in to the "vision" instead of the actual product that came out. For 90% cases, the studio would have been closed by now, but they got themselves a second chance--I hope they can redeem themselves and come out as the winner.
I loved this game. I was a regular player since the early days. I spent loads of "real" money to collect everything the game had thrown at me . It absolutely sucks to know that I can't even play an offline version of the game.
These games should have been priced at 10 bucks each...at best.
In their day, they were awesome games. But things have progressed much farther, and we can see better looking free to play games these days (Marvel Avengers Alliance 2 and Marvel Future Fight)
I loved playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance on PC. The game had a great story line and a lot of characters to keep things interesting enough for me to finish the game more than 10 times. As an added bonus, there were great mods that enabled us to play with many heroes that were available in other platforms or other games, too.
These so called "remasters" has none of the above, and thus charging so high is totally disgusting.
It is great that these games are getting released for current generation consoles and PC, but the price tag is ridiculous and it is a shady deal due to the fact that there won't be much value addition.
The only things that can make me buy the game would be having all DLC/platform exclusive heroes and missions within the games from the get go, and a fully customizable pro/anti registration roster in the 2nd game.
