Did the same
Traded in animal crossing which is only worth a fiver! Lol

I went for Super Mario Bros U. Worth a bit more but still such a good deal

I thought it was going to be a tiny list of eligible games. Very impressed with the list. Will definitely keep more of an eye on GameStop UKs deals in the future

I've literally said all of those in some form while playing MP.


another one I like is when you're being revived and an enemy comes up behind your reviver, you can tell them to leave you and save themselves/surprise attack the enemy. Works great if your team mate has a 2x4 or a nail board.

I need to find somewhere in the US that's worth it to trade in Watch_Dogs PS4 for this. I'm disgusted by having that game in my collection.

Makes me so mad that I bought it digitally, can't get rid of it now. Can't even get it off my UI with the crappy way the PS4 app list is set up.

Craigslisting or selling/trading to someone on here would be your best bet. Otherwise just head to PoopStop (which most likely has some sort of additional trade in % added when you put it towards One Of The Greatest Games of All Time).

Yea, we really need some organizational options and quick! I have almost every ps4 game (not all by any means but A LOT!) and I get tired of scrolling left and right to find things like a freaking Netflix queue.

They did have a deal at one point to get $40 back on a Watch Dogs ps4 trade but I think that ended in June. There current trade in deal doesn't appear to include TLOU:R because it is based on e3 stuff.

@antitrop - If you're not averse to gamestop I would give them a call and ask though. Sometimes these things aren't fully advertised.

I've been adverse to trading in at Gamestop since my dumb little 16 year old ass traded in my ENTIRE Dreamcast collection (console + tons of games) to buy a few PS2 games when it came out...

Now excuse me while I go bury my head in a pillow and cry. I got like $120 dollars for the trade in, because it was after Sega had already announced they were pulling the plug. x.x
 
So people are going to buy the same game they bought a year ago but now with "prettier" graphics?

Thank god the PS4 has backwards comp... Oh, right

My 2c on the graphics: from the (disappointingly little) we've seen of actual rendered footage, the port seems more about taking advantage of the PS4's to render The Last of Us generally as we know it with greater clarity and performance. Not online someone playing on a somewhat dated PC, doing an upgrade, and then being able to crank up the resolution, texture quality, filtering, etc. It is, in many ways, the same base game, but the increase in processing power allows for a natural increase in rendering resolution, the use of higher quality assets made during production, better filtering on shadows/aliasing etc, and of course improved average framerate.

It is a true "HD port" in the same way that a lot of lot of PS2->PS3 games were, and provides the best "experience" for the given assets and their made quality.

The difference between TLoU: Remastered and something like, say, Wind Waker HD or Halo 2: Anniversary is that the latter seem to involve more drastic overhauls of rendering systems and/or assets that more closely constitute a "remake" instead of a HD port. Wind Waker reused most assets from the GCN build, touched up textures, but completely overhauled the lighting/shadow engine (for better or worse) that on a technical level accomplishes stuff that was never in the original build (like ambient occlusions). Halo 2: Anniversary is a new engine and totally new assets, even if mechanically the base game plays the same way.

Some of this may be true for TLoU: Remastered and we just haven't seen it yet, but I tend to look at this port less like the above two examples and more like Resident Evil 4. Improvements have been made, some artistically others through nature evolution of technology, but it's not a true remake or asset/engine overhaul like some ports/remakes have. It's taking the base assets and rendering of The Last of Us and dialing all these qualities up to better suit the PS4 hardware. That is an improvement and will be a clear one when playing, and TLoU already looked outstanding on the PS3, but expecting a massive, full "next generation" graphical showpiece is perhaps a bit unrealistic.

The fact it's taken this long for a release and the fact they've been completely silent in terms of how it looks and plays during gameplay means they better have something good cooking up.

I almost sold off half my SNES collection to buy an N64 expansion pack before Majora's Mask came out. Turned out I still wouldn't have had enough money to get the expansion pack so I backed out. That was a close one.

Any idea if MP character models will get updated?

It still bugs me that we can't choose our race and gender in MP even though they are clearly there, or even customize our clothes for how we'd appear as both a Hunter and Firefly to compensate for when you appear as your unchosen team to others. Kind of a missed opportunity when all the assets are already made.

Funny, I traded in my whole PS2 collection to buy games for my new 360.

I got around $140 out of it.

The cycle will never end, a few years from now someone is going to talk about how they turned in their PS3 collection for a PS4, and cry themselves to sleep.

My ears are burning...is somebody talking about me?

Guessing this ban will be a quickie. Again, there is nothing wrong by expressing your opinion on a topic, but posts like these are embarrassing and not constructive.

You've also clearly never played TLOU if you think those two games together = TLOU

God all these talks about trade in mistakes just brings me to the dark, dumb day I traded in my SNES collection towards a PSX with Metal Gear Solid and Syphon Filter. And I'm talking about a 30 game collection that consisted of nothing but top tier (Chrono, FF6, Turtles in Time, Yoshis Island, Super Metroid, Earthbound, Link to the Past and every other 5-star rated game they made).

The GS employee was even like: "Man, this is pretty much the best collection of Super Nintendo games I have ever seen."

I just said thanks and walked out the door.

*sniff* *tear drop*

Yes I will, because it's better looking AND performing, it's a game I loved so I'm not opposed to supporting it twice. Also I'm not as naive as some who feel like remasters are taking away from new game developments, ND themselves have said the lion share of their team is working on UC4.

As someone who sold his PS3 before this majestic release, i'm looking forward to it. Hopefully while doing this remake they have learned a thing or two about the system and will make even better exclusives in the future. Knowing ND that will sure be the case.

Coco,

Don't you think that you are oversimplifying the Last of Us (ignoring the complexity of all elements that made the game)?

Do you really believe any developer can just take RE4 and 28 Weeks Later and create a game like the Last of Us?

I share your shame. I too have sold many systems and games I shouldn't have. =(
