$505 games: If you want a "free" upgrade to XSX/PS5 version of Control, you have to rebuy Ultimate Edition.

Hmm well if you have the base game and all dlc playstation often classifies you as having the deluxe edition, when you try to buy it in the store. I'd say theres still hope. It's a super shitty situation though considering the performance issues on the base game.

I believe this will be the case.

LOL the price ain't too bad, it's actually a bargain for me. I can get the base game on CD keys for 21 it was 19 and the season pass is 20 so it works out kinda well.

Unfortunate for people who had already purchased it. That why I never buy games day one
 
LOL good thing i did not cave and buy this game when it was release now i won't bother to even buy it at all will play it when it comes to gamepass but won't buy it outright.

I bought the Deluxe Edition on sale on PSN last winter I think for 50€ but I didn't expect this kind of fuckery...

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I'm confused, I have the Deluxe Steel book + Season Pass
Are they saying I don't get the upgrade?
Also what incentive do I have to buy the Ultimate Edity base on what I own already?

1. No fuck you, I heard
2. Nothing, it's same thing which you have

I saw someone say it's leaving ps now this month and there was a rumor in January about it coming to game pass.Guess I'll wait and see if it ever does.
I though that they have it there for longer

Lol and this is why you wait for the complete bs edition, or buy the gold edition at launch. There's no winning with these devs. I'm glad I waited on control, even though every sale made it tempting. I'll buy on PS5 so it will actually run correctly.

What a company 505 is. I guess I'm glad I waited for the steam version. This a big fuck you to people who bought it on consoles. I also heard that a bunch of people had problems running Death Stranding as well despite having capable hardware. Seems like 505 games is one of those publishers where you should either wait a little bit when they release a game.

Thanks man. I think its shit. It was between this and Avengers for a video and I felt this was just going to slip through the cracks if people didn' took at it closely.
I am not against this stuff at times, but I mean come on. This is just insanely out hand.

I watched your video and thank God someone calls this shit out as soon as it hits. I loved the Snowpiercer analogy :messenger_tears_of_joy:

This is one of them games that clearly was scaled to PC first and never was going to sing on console. I avoided it (even on PC) because RT is so....messed up right now) and am waiting to see how it will be enhanced.

That's not much of an issue, well it is, because on base consoles it's more like a buggy slideshow, but this decision is making this way worse.

This is what I expected originally TBH

If they can't charge then you are getting just a resolution change, maybe framerate at best.

If they want to put in more effort I can judge if its worth the $5 or whatever they want to charge

If they expect me to buy a whole new version of the game then forget it

Wonder how backwards compatibility would work with the current gen version...
Probably not as good as enhanced version, which also means that I would not expect much of the changes.

Even if it's that, it's important if you look on this video:

I can’t believe so many think these nickel and dime companies are all going to offer you upgraded console games for free. It’s one thing having a system in place but it’s a whole other thing to expect 3rd party to embrace that. How often do any of you find yourself getting something for nothing from these companies?

Im not saying a couple of publishers won’t do it. But some members of this forum have been acting like it’s going to be the norm going into next gen. Madness, imo.

Yeah well maybe, but other companies set the precedent and especially with poor performance indeed they should at least should let consumers to have better version on new HW. Watch them block the BC release...

You don’t happen to like Skyrim by any chance?

Premium digital 75$ edition I got, doesn't qualify as Ultimate is really disappointing to hear as a Remedy fan. The performance is still trash on PS4 fix that or reward your fans.

Thats the way it feels here. I mean its just so fucking stupid timing-wise, and offering wise price-wise. I used to have to deal with weird shit like this and I can say when I saw the timing and the price and the overall plan it just...nothing made any fucking sense.
 
I think that the idea of free console upgrades is a great consumer friendly position and advocate for it. With that said, when has this ever been the practice for consoles prior to this upcoming gen? I’m sure that they’ve done the financial analysis and see that the potential loss in revenue for pissing people off with this decision is less than the revenue from people double dipping. Look at Nintendo and their Wii U ports at full price on the Switch.

Yeah fuck these guys. Have an unopened copy waiting for PS5. And this is how they reward their customer.

Getting rid of it and never pre-ordering or buy anything anywhere close to launch from this outfit. If anyone else follows this lead, they can fuck off also. There’s enough other content out there.

Well in that case you can return in, sell it or something like that to have money towards the UE, if you haven't play the game and have sealed copy, I think that you need to act fast, till people find out.

The UE edition is the last place I’ll re-roll the cash into. I’m going to use it for toilet paper before wave 2 of COVID hits here

This is why I'm glad to be on PC. With controlled ecosystems you have no choice but bending over & getting fucked, but on PC you can fuck back. Scum like 505G will never get a penny from me.
 
We just got through every ps360 game being remastered for a quick ha'penny. Not a chance publishers weren't going to try some shenanigans here.

Especially in the inevitable pre and post launch software drought where nothing is ready.

This gen is totally different tho, consoles behaves and are expect to behave far more like a PCs. Both Sony and MS is on board with this, BC, Digital Sales, enhance patches, etc. And biggest games are using corss-buy like Cyberpunk and Vallhala (biggest in a sense how much money you pour into that bad boy)...

Don't buy their games, or certainly not a release, plain and simple. Unfortunately you will always have non-caring pork to throw money and not even complain (well most of them do but they deserve it so who cares).
