I find the upgrade really expensive

 

[GhostOfTsu]

20$ for the expansion is an awesome deal. Damn this thread is so lame as usual when it comes to price. Everything needs to be free.

 

[tmlDan]

Since Technology. Try googling "video games automatic lip sync" and educate yourself before you get flippant to defend your beloved corporation.

Also, haptics and 3D audio aren't content. They're features and stuff that is normally offered in free updates.

As for "what content," Microsoft Flight Simulator's World Updates include airports, tens of new models for point of interest, new photogrammetry, and higher level of detail for entire regions. Every two months. For free.

And that's on top of the sim updates every other month that add new features and improvements.

I did some looking into it and most dev blogs say it is very poor and a lot of manual work has to be done to make it authentic.

As i stated before, haptics and 3D audio take man hours of work, for me it adds to the experience and people work diligently to make it work well.

Also Sony has done that as well, giving free content in games, I already stated that in another response.

 

[G Boaty]

Am I reading it right that Japanese lip syncing is a PS5 only feature?

 

[odhiex]

Not that "really" expensive, but you could always wait for sale tho.

 

[e&e]

Was this the rumor?

 

[SafeOrAlone]

What flaws? The pricing?

Depends on who's post you are referring to. It seems that you're upset that people are critiquing this release.

 

[Abriael_GN]

But it wasn't even close to the amount of effort SP put in, i know this because i played it as well.

You can't run your mouth saying it's a rip off when it's justified for people who like those features. If you don't care just get the expansion and not the Ps5 version.

out of the big 3 Sony has been giving us free shit all the time, free MP expansions and free content, so soon people forget.

People can say whatever they want. You may want to stop being offended because people dare to criticize the corporation you like (and they may as well, but they're simply not blind).

You haven't looked well enough. The tech has been available for years. What these features do for you is irrelevant. They're still features most developers offer in free updates which are financed by continued sales of the game. You do understand that GoT has not stopped selling, right?

PS: Sony doesn't get even close to the level of "free shit" (for using your wording) Microsoft Flight Simulator offers, in any game. The fact that they're starting to nickel and dime next-gen upgrades is in no way a good sign.

As if Sony don't give any free content for their games. Legends was totally free too.

I think you should go back to make your dead flight simulator hype threads instead.

 

[Hezekiah]

So that $30 dollar upgrade to Ps5 with the DLC will no doubt become £30 in the U.K.

In which case, they can get fucked. I loved GoT, but I’m not forking out the same amount for DLC that I paid for the whole game!

I imagine it will be £24.99 like the Spiderman DLC.

 

[Maximus D. Meridius]

It's a nope from me, I have the PS4 game on disc, and for a first party published game to charge this much for an "upgrade"?

it's taking the piss.

 

[jshackles]

20$ for the expansion is an awesome deal. Damn this thread is so lame as usual when it comes to price. Everything needs to be free.

I would gladly pay $20 to upgrade my PS4 digital copy to the PS5 version with the expansion.

They're trying for the ol-double-squeeze and that $30 price point just puts me right over the line on this kind of fuckery.

 

[Skifi28]

30 for DLC + upgrade seems bad, but it'll largely depend on how much actual new content there is in the expansion. Certainly not paying for 2 hours worth of story and better rumble.

 

[Abriael_GN]

As if Sony don't give any free content for their games. Legends was totally free too.

I think you should go back to make your dead flight simulator hype threads instead.

Imagine comparing a one-off multiplayer mode with sizable content additions every two months with no end in sight.

And if you own MSFS on PC, you own it on every platform. No "new console tax" to pay.

 

[FunkMiller]

I imagine it will be £24.99 like the Spiderman DLC.

Eh… still too much in a world where so many games are offering a Ps5 upgrade for free. Happy to pay for the expansion, but even £25 is excessive for that.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Will nab at a later date for sure. Call me crazy, but I don't think $30 is a bad price for the upgrade considering what else has been added. But I also loved the game like a mofo.

 

[KyoZz]

Great game, can't wait to put my hands on that expansion !

 

[Epic Sax CEO]

That they really added Ikki serves as example of why the japanese "critics" loved this game and some said they they should had done it.

 

[NEbeast]

You can't be this ignorant. Last of Us Remastered had a lot more work done on it. Months of studio and extra work went into it.

For this is it seems like Sony is charging $10 to pay for the PS5 features.

You get the dlc too?

 

[NewYork214]

If the new island feels like a miles morales type game then it's worth the 30 dollars for me to go from ps4 version to ps5 directors cut. Loved Ghost, I'm totally down for more of it

 

[Kholinar]

THIS IS AWESOME!!! I was just about to start my BC re-run of GoT, but I suppose I'll just wait for this expansion instead!

 

[ANDS]

If the content is as substantial as Miles Morales then 30 bucks seems like a decent deal. Same with that 10 dollar next-gen tax.

"Director's Cut"

Wonder what was cut from the original they wanted to include, but couldn't? Because, from what I see it's just DLC.

Trailer LITERALLY tells you what you are getting. Should it have been called something else, maybe, but let us not be pedantic.

Where did i sound offended, you sound triggered as all hell.

And i did, why would i believe you when I literally read devblogs about it and how shitty the tech is if they just relied on it.

You seem to think the GoT online was nothing, I still play it to this day and its a ton of fun content - everyone values things differently and a few planes and areas in a flight sim is pretty much useless imo.

 

[FingerBang]

Fuck that! I'd be okay if it was just $20 to get the new content, but an extra $10 to get the PS5 version? Fuck that. Seriously, FUCK THAT!

 

[DeepEnigma]

Oh hell yeah! I will definitely double dip for the PS5 upgrade when I eventually get one.

This game is a gem!

 

[Warnen]

Really should nix this next gen upgrade shit already, throw a bone to your long term fans for Christ sakes.

Dont mind the upgrade to DC fee you are buying dlc but man talk about penny pinching.

 

[Hezekiah]

I would say £20 is probably fair.

Forizon Wildlands was £16 and that was four years ago.

That tech is already used in a ton of games since the times of Final Fantasy XIII, and it has improved massively over time. It's used by almost all games that run cutscenes in engine. The fact that they added lip sync only with the ability to run cutscenes in real-time says that they likely used that.

Also, lol at "a few planes and areas in a flight sim is pretty much useless imo." It's not "a few," and it's very relevant (way to try to minimize what you know nothing about). It certainly costs more to make than a one-off multiplayer mode. No doubt about that. It's not "Nothing" but it's not comparable. Not even close.

Indeed. It's really funny to see some defending this.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Yeah, I doubt anyone is critiquing them for charging for DLC. Especially because we know so little about it.
However, the decision to charge for the upgrade is becoming much harder to justify. Especially for a game so recently released.

We shouldn't conflate the two.

 

[Bartski]

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends fans, we’ll also be releasing some new updates, including an all-new mode that we’re excited to detail in the weeks to come

Not getting the optional lock-on part. The game has a constant auto soft lock on and it works perfectly fine, but I'm curious to test it out

 

[TonyK]

So the next gen upgrade is the same we have now but with better rumble. No texture rework? No better 3d models? Totally disappointed. But the worst part is that I will pay it

I think you're downplaying it more than me, i have flight sim on PC gamepass and you cant prove that it costs more than the Legends mode, but if you want to argue for the sake of semantics go ahead. When playing it the ground is low res and bland despite being impressive in scale.

You can keep saying the "tech" portion but i literally read about it so keep trying.

 

[j0hnnix]

already played it. Not worth Sony milking the teet today.

Don't worry, abriel bleeds green. Anything to take a dig at Sony and he/she will.

 

[jaysius]

Maybe in the directors cut the NPCs giving you side quests aren't board stiff when they're taking to you.

 

[Chaplain]

Any word on ray tracing?

 

[Antony1992]

Mamma mia Sony! 10 dollars for the upgrade. You simply made my day.

If you really think a one-off multiplayer mode costs more to make than upgrading entire regions of a flight simulator including 3-5 full-fledged airports every two months for a year, and with no ends in sight, suit yourself.

Also, your "literal reading" may have missed a few things. Since your google-fu is weak, I'll help you.

Don't worry, abriel bleeds green. Anything to take a dig at Sony and he/she will.

It's funny how fanboys will invent literally anything when someone dares to criticize their brand of choice.

I'm very, very eager to see you quote all these "digs at Sony." But not one or two points of criticism. Do show me an actually sustained trend, if you can.

PS: Good luck, since you can't. You can't show what does not exist and you just invented because you can't counter someone's arguments.

upset?
I am amused

LOL when they speak diff languages it look utterly horrible, especially the english.

You basically shot yourself in the foot with this.

 

[ManaByte]

• If you bought Director’s Cut PS4, you’ll be able to upgrade to Director’s Cut PS5 at any time for $9.99 USD
• You can also upgrade directly (from original Ghost of Tsushima PS4) to Director’s Cut on PS5 for $29.99 USD

Nice...just wish I could upgrade and ditch the physical disk portion. Oh well.!

 

[Esppiral]

Sony has really mastered Smart delivery, at least for them $$$$$

 

[Abriael_GN]

The fact that you arbitrarily define it "utterly horrible" because you're desperate to prove your false point doesn't make it so.

Incidentally, that's the channel of Jonathan Cooper, formerly Naughty Dog and one of the most respected animators in the industry. Apparently, he considers it impressive enough to feature it.

Do look him up. I have a feeling he knows better than you (or me) about animation.

 

[Mr.ODST]

Sony mastering Smart Delivery of £££

Like FF7R this is a joke, why not just sell the expansion and give a free PS5 upgrade.

 

[DonkeyKong]

Sony has really mastered Smart delivery, at least for them $$$$$

For the Payers

 

[mrMUR_96]

No graphical upgrades? ugh disappointing for $30

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Sony and selling a year old game at full price again. Name a better combo. Cool expansion but I wouldn’t pay full price for it again. If it’s not a free upgrade for my PS5 imma pass.

 

[FunkMiller]

I would say £20 is probably fair.

Forizon Wildlands was £16 and that was four years ago.

Dependent on size, that would sound about right. It’ll be a lot more than that though, guaranteed.
