Everyone is saying it's a great version. Some are saying it's the best remaster they've seen, especially with everything being rereleased recently... then again it'd better be when it costs €32.

Enhanced or Remasters are much cheaper. Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 Enhanced Editions were fixed, supported higher resolutions and included every piece of content created for those games so you were looking at 80+ hours from Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and more for Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition. They both cost €20 each and added an expansion each and a few new companions fully voiced with their own quest areas which was pretty neat. Well worth the €20 if you're into RPGs.

Remasters today like the one just released for Indigo Prophecy didn't really add all that much except higher resolutions, fixed controller support and... that's it really but it was only €8 so it was a fair point to sell a good adventure game.

So, yeah.. considering the price point and content for remastered or enhanced editions for €32 they damn well better deliver. That's quite the steep asking price to be honest and would be nowhere near worth it if all they did was upscale everything and added HD resolutions. I think they knew that and threw everything into it because they plan on doing more with the franchise what with Homeworld: Shipbreakers already in the works(Which was repurposed from a F2P model to a standalone B2P model). You'll most definitely see Cataclysm being released as DLC if this sells well. Would it be right to sell Cataclysm though? Should have included it in the bundle if i'm to be honest but whatever, still getting two games and a functional multiplayer plus the originals for comparison.

On par with what you said then they should've made the Remaster 40 euros... Baldurs gate 20 euro... baldurs gate 2... 20 euro... wait a minute... thats TWO games... Homeworld... Homeworld 2... TWO games... so Homeworld Remastered is cheaper than the Baldur's Gate EE games.

Except each game is over 90 hours in a single playthrough, include two expansions and added companions that are fully voiced and may aswell be part of the original games... but whatever floats your boat. Not quite sure what you're saying here unless you're stupid enough to honestly suggest they sell HW:R for €40.

I had a good feeling that it was going to get a good review
