I still play this a lot, and the updates look cool, especially the level cap unlock, but they really need to fucking move to XV3, the netcode alone in XV2 is just atrocious and some systems like cutscenes that interrupt game play need to go; really hope the current gen release will be the final hurrah and then they announce XV3.

hopefully the new versions will be free upgrades to those who already own the game on PS4/XB1?

It's been so long since I beat this game lol, not inclined to repurchasing or replaying it though.

Yeah, I wouldn’t rebuy, Budokai Tenkaichi should be out soon. I’d replay though if the upgrade is free.
