from a user standpoint it doesn't, from a business standpoint it kinda does

they'd be cannibalizing their own sales and risking potential confusion with people buying the old versions thinking they're getting the new game

Just saw the GTA III map for the first time in a while. Seemed so foreign to me compared to VC and SA

thats a lie, FF VII was marketed as a remake thats why I didn't list it

but funny you say that

because Mafia was marketed as Mafia: Definitive Edition

wait, whats this one called again? GTA: Definitive Edition

Crazy right?

And look what EA marketed Battlefield V as.. They didn't even remaster OR remake the game. EA & Rockstar got blood on their hands

….

Mafia was marketed as a remake throughout the entire thing???

Bro every description and video about it said “COMPLETE REMAKE OF MAFIA 1”

Same with crash, Spyro, and that Zelda game.
All the marketing was “remake” and those were remakes

From the start this was a REMASTER. And this s*** has way more work put in it than most remasters

nah , I don't care about graphics that much

but this is a rush job, they could and should have done better

if you going to do it, do it all the way

This is the final straw for EA

you can defend it all that you want at the end of the day this is still a cash grab

they're asking full price for a rush job and forcing people that want to play the old games to buy this version, because you can't buy the older versions anymore

yall defending rockstar and take2 like they haven't been a scam company for the last past years

they still make great games tho

so many hot takes in this thread and yet nobody has seen footage of the game

I thought it was $20 per game???

you cant buy the games individually for now , so you pay full game price

trailer with actual game footage out now

you know what i mean. gameplay, movement, driving, shooting - not cutscenes lol

if they had done anything new with that they would have shown it

the gameplay in all the games you posted are nearly 1:1 with quality of life improvements. except mafia 1 which is actually a remake.

this is gameplay 1:1 with quality of life improvements. the only difference is that they updated the graphics much more in crash, links awakening, and spyro.

not that i should feed you but what is being "rushed" that has been revealed so far.

the graphics, why would you release this and call it a definitive edition when it still looks like a 2004 pc game?

and forcing players to be the only version they can play? thats sleazy as hell

you literally just said you dont care about graphics that much, then talk about graphics style.

bye felicia.

you're dumb as f*** , I said I didn't care about graphics that much

but if take2 is trying to extort me than do it right

who wants to pay 60$ for some better textures and nothing else?

bully scholarship edition looks better than this

"and nothing else" yet im the dumb one?

Remaster/Remake/Definitive Edition who cares nigga, either buy it or don’t

whats new ? tell me ? ray tracing ? added fingers on character models

its not worth 60$ dollars

i care because they're forcing you to buy it , you aren't able to buy digitally other versions

As long as they are better in every single way but since it’s not backwards compatible in anyway it’s an odd move on console . That’s why the button to push between on master chief collection

I find it incredibly hilarious you keep only bringing up graphic features.

"Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition introduces wide-ranging modern control upgrades, including improvements to targeting and lock-on aiming, updated Weapon and Radio Station Wheels, updated Mini-Maps with enhanced navigation allowing players to set waypoints to destinations, updated Achievements, Trophies, and more.

they could give me the same graphics from 2001, put it in widescreen, give me 4k output, and id be visually happy.

real ones know the quality of life improvements are why we excited.
