Loved this game and went for the plat and I'm planning to do the same for this one on PS5, bring it!

robtion1070d ago

Hopefully it is a free upgrade for PS4 DS owners.

CrimsonWing691070d ago

It's a Director's Cut though and seeing as the original didn't sell as much this might be a double-dip sort of tactic to make up for not reaching the desired sales.

This won't be a free update.

According to that it was a sales success for Sony. Double dip tactic also does not make any sense. When it released in 2019 there where about 90+ PS4 potential customers but your saying it sold poorly. So would why they release the ps5 with only 8+ million customers and hope to be a sales success?

This is a quote from your article you linked:

“While the “acclaim” part is certainly true going by critical reception, the other titles have sold upwards of 10 million copies since release. If Death Stranding were in the same category, it would surely have been promoted as such by Sony. Director Hideo Kojima stated in May 2020 that the game was profitable but also didn’t indicate that it had sold millions of copies. Until Sony confirms as much, it’s best to take this revelation with a grain of salt.”

I have not seen any sales figures being touted like Sony has for their best sellers. There’s also a number of articles like these:

This was the NPDs:

Didn’t even make the top 20 the very next month.

As for the double dip, think about it. You want to make more sales off a release. Remastering doesn’t take a lot and I’m not sure what’s all additional content, but I doubt it’s anything substantially expensive to create. Then you sell the game at full price for next-gen.

Maybe it can do what Tomb Raider Definitive Edition did. Tomb Raider originally sold like 5 million and was considered a failure and then the Definitive Edition came out (Remaster) and made up the sales. That was a double-dip.

DarkZane1070d ago

I hope this get 60fps, I would get it again if it does. Otherwise, I don't see the point.

VersusDMC1070d ago

100% there is a 60fps mode.

LucasRuinedChildhood1070d ago

Hope they confirm some sort of upgrade path for this.

StoneyYoshi1070d ago

I feel that this will either be a free upgrade to current owners or it will be like FF7 Integrade DLC with the performance upgrade being free.

Snakeeater251069d ago

It don’t need 60fps the game is soo slow It wont change a thing

very nice. this and TLOU being remade for PS5 are two great games indeed.

StoneyYoshi1070d ago

I thought the same thing at one point but i was thinking that if they add TLOU2 mechanics, it would make the experience much much better if they aren't just doing a re-skin of the game.

AmUnRa1069d ago

You are very bad at trolling so yeah better keep sleeping.

waverider1070d ago

Kojima is amazing. Just wish he would another mgs and zone of enders, but he cant....

Yui_Suzumiya1069d ago

Snatcher sequel also.. been waiting since 1994 for that!

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond

PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?

VersusDMC31d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier31d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k431d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy8531d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga30d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS730d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto31d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies31d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.

GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.

But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.

Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.

SonyStyled31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS730d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast31d ago

Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.

I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.

DaniMacYo31d ago

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.
