Because it’s a different game?
They are not talking euro's that's for sure..
As a counterpoint I’d argue that the PS4 Remaster actually was worth full price because they had to port from the PS3 but more importantly, they included Factions and all map pack DLC. This version has no Factions and costs more than the Remastered version. We’ll see how it pans out but I suspect the PS4 Pro version will end up being looked at as the definitive edition of the game.
Good to know, but we need to see the improvements to the gameplay in motion, which should be introduced through a SOP. Will Sony have one SOP for both this remake and Ragnarok, or two separate ones? I am curious about the timing of it all, especially if Sony intends to have a PS5 showcase some time later this year...

Different times. Putting a game in a different engine like this with all those changes is not some port from 1 system to the next, so yea...I'd expect that to cost way more money, but this isn't 2014 anymore..... so I don't get this weird thing of gamers making it sound as if time just stops for gaming. It doesn't ,cost rise and that will be reflected in the game industry one way or another. The MP made sense in 2014, the servers still existed, it was still be played on PS3 too etc If a game gets remade today and it had MP from years ago, 99% of the time I'm not expecting them to remake that too, makes mores sense for a remaster or a port from cross gen or something, not a default remake thing as most games remade, don't do that unless its literally a MP focused title or something. So I think they have their networking team focused on Fractions 2, vs a fractions remake which would take a fuck ton of time to actually pull off. Online gaming today is just as different as single player games today.
Same. I'm not paying full price for it, no fucking way. But I might get it when the price goes down.
I wouldn't be surprised if they don't add in additional context to help villainize Joel. I'm sure they want to setup part 2 better.

looks good? ok, is the AI more advanced though? Gameplay? Of course. They also will send you a PS5 if you still don't have one.
If they were selling the new one at $39.99, that would be one thing, but asking $70 is ridiculous if you ask me. Im someone who usually defends and gets excited about remasters, but that crosses my line. Loved what was done with Mass Effect. I am still holding out hope for New Vegas and Fallout 3 to get remastered.
I can't recommend someone play one over the other without playing both myself. The remaster is a great game, but its still a remaster of a dated title at this point.

70 dollar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The wording is baffling so I don't blame people getting confused. "Improved environmental storytelling and enhanced exploration" Ok great
Exactly and DS is an old PS3 game at a bad technical state. TLoU released at the end of PS3 and already got a remaster on PS4.
I'm just going to wait for when they do a native PS5 app for TLoU2 and buy it then with a double pack.
Demon Souls looks and plays the same as the remake? What?
Demon's Souls does this. It's a remake.
Anyhow, this one won't play 95% like the original, it will play like 2, but probably some with more refinements that will make it into a native app of Part 2 as well.

Demon's Souls remake plays 95% identical to the original. I won't say 100% because the new animation rigs make it "feel" better, but the timings and gameplay are actually identical with a few QOL improvements. On purpose.
My "wrong" definition that I will keep using is a game different enough in visuals and gameplay to warrant the asking price for me aka FF7, DS etc.
In DeSo you could only roll in four directions. The remake made it control like subsequent Dark Souls games. Every bit of geometry is new.
Yep. Hence... a Remake.
Visually and technically a world of difference and yes plays similar with added animations by design but at 60fps not a struggling 30fps. The game was brought to modern standards. It is a game that needed the remake.
It has nothing to do about how much I am willing to pay, it's simply overpriced, especially the 2014 remastered version holds perfectly fine and you can easily get for around 10 bucks. It's a story driven game, fully remake or not, experience is mostly the same.
Good thing about single player gaming. You don't need to day one, just wait for sales. Especially in the world of ever growing backlogs.
Overpriced to whom?
Overpriced based on general value/pricing metric for other 70 dollars games so far. I am perfectly fine with others spending whatever they'd like to, but that doesn't change the fact it is overpriced.
Nah. That’s the new baseline.
