It also doesn't change the fact that a system with barely any content is being given a third release of a ten year old game, and people are cheering like they're the fucking Nerd Crew. I'm sure that Joel's reimagined beard physics will totally be worth the $70USD, and absolutely sends the right message back to Sony.
This is literally the first time they have announced a PC port simultaneously with a PS4 or PS5 game. This is a huge precedent that could very well mean a day one release for all we know. If not day one then 3 months or 6. We are no longer looking at the 2-4 year windows people were talking about in the Airbus Jr thread. Neil mentioned PC several times.
The game is about her tbhWhy is Ellie the primary character on the box art

Yup. I think you were spot on with the list of games all needing to contribute a bit each to hit $300M by fiscal end March 2023.
You will probably be able to pick it up for around $40 on PC if you shop around online. I agree though, i struggle in this day and age to pay full price for a 12 hour campaign only. Its not the 360/PS3 days anymore.
It seems kind of insane. Nobody really asked for it. At least their UC PS5 update was 10 bucks. At first I bulked, but ended up just getting it. This however…… this is pure greed.
It was greenlit because of the TV show, i'm certain of that. Which is why imo the PC version will launch when the show aires, whenever that ends up being.
It's probably delayed for a price break, because no one on PC is paying $70 for a single player game.
This is a classic case of people remembering a game looking better then it really did. It's a big improvement.In before “the graphics look the same”

Spoiler: they don’t
Weren't they working on a new engine so this was being used as an excuse to get some practice with it?
lol Best post of the thread.
You can thank the many open world games with big production values, as well as shooters with loyal fans. who'll play the same modes all year. Those studios upped the ante and most gamers trend to them.
Yeah i mean there were tons of PS1 gen games that were 2-3 hours long, hell 8bit and 16bit games an hour long or even less. Rightly or wrongly, gamers expect way more 'bang for your buck' these days.
I'd say this is more a reimagining rather than a remake, the AI has been redone the environments have been altered and increased in size, controls and movement have been updated. This is far more than a run of the mill remake and warrants the price tag IMO.
It really just takes longer to make these games. It takes more time to produce the art, it takes so much more to produce to the content. Can’t expect any dev to have the output they had in in previous generations.
It's a good strategy. TV series should be big. This game is goated and now it's full modernized too. It will sell a lot on ps5 but even more on PC later.
No one with an ounce of brain thinks the price is fair. But what can we do. Vote with the wallet I guess but doesn't help much cause I would definitely buy the game day 1 if I had the money and PS5. Nah something else needs to be done to get the ridiculous prices down cause wallet voting is obviously not working.
Well Naughty Dog is in fact working on Last of Us MP game, and a secret project druckmann is involved with. I would bet its Part 3. Why new IP when Last of Us is hot commodity? If I could guess I would guess the point of the remake would be to coincide with the HBO series, get more people involved in the last of us franchise. PS5 exclusive Part 1 would be good for that
It's not just the price. It's the fact that people are cheering on a THIRD release of a ten year old game as though this is some groundbreaking and revolutionary gift from Sony, and not a desperate attempt to pad out the library of their console with no software.
Well she's like the main character of the story so there's that. I'll just tell you a story about a game journalist that edited Ellie out of a magazine cover, which resulted in Druckmann confronting him why he did that. That should speak for itself.Why is Ellie the primary character on the box art
That's a good question. I would hope they dont pull it from the PS Store on PS4 consoles. It could totally happen they remove it from PS5 store tho so you just can buy the Part 1 remake.
