  I don’t know about “better”. It looks different.

  But then again, I think the original look looks fine and that there’s no need for a remake. It’s just a way to milk suckers for more cash.

    They also Doubled game price on Uk store just days after the remaster trailer. Previously it was  £15.99 and now it’s £34.99. So they are definitely milking for cash.

      Paired with allowing people who own the original to upgrade for $10 (and I’m assuming something similar in the UK) when they’re charging $50 for the remaster if you don’t have the original, that makes sense. They’re just closing a loophole.

      I’d much rather they double the existing game’s price than for them to charge $25-$30 for the upgrade or to even just not have one outright.

      It sucks for anyone who’d been planning to play the original and who just hadn’t bought it yet, but used prices for discs should still be low, so only the subset of those people who have disc-less machines are really impacted.
