100% agree. It was also nice to see a trio of free upgrades after all the paid upgrades and $70 games of recent times.

Let’s see how they price RE4.

CrimsonWing69691d ago

RE4 will be full price. I’m not sure why you think it wouldn’t be.

RickRoland691d ago

It's just an attempt to dig Sony and TLOU1 Remake

jBlakeeper691d ago

I think he means whether it will be 60 or 70 dollars.

CrimsonWing69691d ago (Edited 691d ago )

@jBlakeepeer

It’ll be $70, that’s the next-gen price for games.

The only variation of this I’m seeing are things on Xbox are mostly $60 (not EA or Activision games) everything on PS5 is $70. I don’t believe that will last for Xbox, but next-gen pricing is $70. 100% guarantees this will be $70.

Orchard691d ago

@Crimson Apologies, I may have been unclear, I meant $60 vs $70 - I'm not expecting it to be sub 'full price'. Will it be $70? I dunno. Village next-gen wasn't, but that was also a cross-gen game whereas RE4 won't be. On the other hand, Capcom has been extremely consumer friendly the past few years, so lets see.

@RickRoland Not everything is about TLOU1. There are other games out there. It sounds like you yourself are insecure about the price.

It will be 70. Let's not kid ourselves here.

@Rick Roland
Yep. And surprise! It's a gamerant article.

Orchard691d ago

Will it though? Village wasn't. Capcom have yet to launch a $70 game AFAIK.

CrimsonWing69691d ago

See, this is where the industry showed just how scummy this price hike was. There’s absolutely 0 justification for it other than they’re pushing to see what they can get away with. No other media has gone up $10 and I don’t care how they try to justify it, the fact they had two different pricing points is proof it’s complete BS.

Look at this though, last-gen version of Modern Warfare 2 is $70. If anything I can see next-gen versions being $70 and last-gen versions being $60, but once this cross-gen crap is done you’ll be paying that next-gen price for everything.

Orchard691d ago

The MW2 thing is a complete farce, especially after recent CODs being $60 for last gen - it's even $70 for PC. But also not surprising given it's Bobby Kotick + Activision.

pietro1212691d ago

RE4 will be full price and why wouldn’t it be?

Orchard691d ago

But will it be $60 or $70? That is the question.

Yes please and support physical as much as possible because once our only option is digital y'all can just imagine how greedy these publishers could become

MadLad692d ago (Edited 692d ago )

You can't monetize the people who go the emulation route.

Bigman4k691d ago (Edited 691d ago )

I agree but i don't think you should worry about physical games going away anytime soon now maybe once PS6 & Xbox Series X 2 gets here then maybe you should start worrying because i do think at some point Sony & Microsoft will make digital only game systems

neutralgamer1992691d ago

Hopefully it's way further out. The first company to go all digital only will need some great PR because the blowback will be severe

Bigman4k691d ago

We'll just have to see what happens between now and 5yrs from now

MadLad692d ago (Edited 692d ago )

I don't think the proper way to preserve videogames is companies reselling you old content, time and again, every generation or so.
The free upgrades they just rolled out were nice, but these sorts of updates are still a new thing that came from the next gen refreshes and forward. Waiting to see if the majority of the industry just use it as another way to make some profit moving forward.

mikefizzled1692d ago

This article has a tinge of irony considering what they just tried to pull with Resident Evil 2, though they rightly went back on it. Doesn't even mention it, strangely.

The 10 PSVR 2 Games You Should Own

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos54d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts54d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook754d ago (Edited 54d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka54d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka54d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

Neonridr54d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz54d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos54d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1754d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca54d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
