I mean, the graphics/model quality is top tier and looks ace, prob worth the time they spent on it, but maybe not if you've played it to death. I watched the first 6 hours recently and was bored to tears at parts, I really don't get the hype, but since this was announced I've decided to wait on the remake and play it myself. I think I'll maybe just play it with accessability options to make the combat silly slow motion infinite explosive fun and focus on the narrative/story.
The play through I saw was like fucking 25 hours and thats someone who has beaten it 10+ times and knows where to go and wasn't like slowpoking through it. Is it really that long?! I guess essentially skipping the combat will make it much shorter but damn that sounds too long to me.

I think the price is fair. You just won't see me paying that for a game I've beat three times with very little changes besides graphical touch up.

Hard to argue with any of that.

WTF are you talking about. Im comparing it to the PS4 game. Why is reading so hard for people? This is the third time this week.
People like you bitch about journalists sucking up to publishers but when they finally speak up, you dismiss them as rants that dont matter. This is literally their only job. To bitch and hold publishers accountable. This is the sole purpose of journalism. Saying they dont matter is so naive it borders on juvenile. Im not going to lecture you on the necessity of free press.

Did he complain about Tropical Freeze costing $60? I’m sure he didn’t.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
But how is it worth the same as a brand new TLOU GAME? Math doesn't add up.

What time is it?
Still no. Especially at that price point. I must have cleared the game a half dozen times (3 times on the hardest difficulty) and I just don't have the urge to go back.

why is Mario Strikers a full priced game? did they put in as many man hours as LoU2? should LoU2 be $200?
The logic is not sound.
The LoU remake is worth that much to me (Fans), new people to PS, people who didn't play the first game and people on PC. It certainly holds enough value being upgraded to current gen standards.

Who the hell pays RRP for games though? All the "£70" games on PS5 I've paid ~£50 on or the day before launch (By buying physical, via discounts and voucher codes), some even £45, same with Switch games, I've only paid £45 for Odyssey, the rest I bought during sales for ~£35. They say you can't return games nowadays but thats bullshit, you can just argue with the customer service for 1 minute and they will give you it.
I refuse to pay that much for games, PC games were were £25-30 growing up, maaaaybe £35 once in a blue moon. I remember when GTA V came to PC I had to pay £38 for it through a grey key site and I was perturbed by that price. Console games in 2000+ I paid maybe £40 on launch day worst case, but mostly £35.
Grey key sites are the savior of my gaming life, its not like the good old days of Ubisoft Uplay keys for like £13 on launch day
thats what I paid for AC: Unity on launch day!

Nop, especially if you're already played the remastered.

Companies don't decide how much I pay for their games, I do.

I’ll gladly pay $70 for FF7 Rebirth.

“Worth” is usually subjective, thus pointless question.

Sony prevented 3rd Party retailers from selling PlayStation games.

I only played the first remaster, liked it but is there really any replayability to it? Maybe once to do the highest difficulty but that’s it.
Do what you want with your money but just be aware that if this is a success (and most likely it will) the next remake will be a three part one for 210 USD.

No, they don't allow third parties to sell digital keys. Retailers still sell PlayStation games.

You're right, it was fantastic.

Okay, that doesn't mean it's worth $70.
Don't get me wrong, I paid $350 for the CE for FFVII Remake....I still don't think a base game price is worth $70 lol.

He said he'll wait for it to drop to $40 from Cdkeys, which only sells digital games.

I just played through part 1 again last year. I may pick this up eventually but not for several years and $20 or less price point.

Lol. Also, games used to be $89.99 average! If anything everyone, to youngsters that just don't know, or you old fucks that just plain forgot, games have only gotten cheaper.

Absolutely not. £35 at the most and that's generous after three releases.

He's not wrong. Things are worth what people are willing to pay.
The point is that any reason given to the hike other than "because they can and want" is BS.

$70 is relative to the individual.
For me personally, I drop $75 everytime there is a UFC PPV and that is a fight card that lasts roughly 2-3 hours in length.
So for me, a $70 price tag for something that will give me dozens of hours of entertainment is totally worth it. Just to see the latest Naughty Dog tech and the improvements they’ve made is worth it to me.
But to each their own.
