With inflation, a 2002 game would cost almost $90 today. 30 bucks is already discount price for new players that didn't grow up with it.

Nightdive has a great track record, and is one of the only remastering teams around, they more than deserve it.

$20 is the sweet spot along with a %20 to %25 release discount, if not, then for later, don't forget, winter sale around the corner and i still didn't even play much of my fall sale, except HROT, damn that game is amazing.

Yeah you don't get to use the Inflation argument until people's income is increased to match Inflation.

I don't even think NIghtdive puts a lot into remasters artistically, backed System Shock and really let down by the TOO retro graphics, felt like I was in some blocky tetris look game... If they really boosted the look, I'd agree on higher pricing. We'll see.

System Shock was a Remake, not a Remaster. And I disagree, System Shock Remake was absolutely brilliant.

Being able to afford something, and something being overpriced is not the same thing.

Go back to school and get some education.

Nah, I will buy the game and enjoy that instead.

Perfect reply imo

No matter how good the remaster is, a mediocre $50 PS2 game from 22 years ago is, in no way, worth only $20 less than it was in 2002. Nightdive's prices have gotten insane ever since the Atari buyout.

but it's not 20 less. 50 would be 90 today.

[Urosh Auberon]

It's 29 euros. Yeah I'll wait for a sale.

[The Ludovico Technique]

That would be a shame. Catherine Classic was remastered for PC and launched at $20.

[Squirt Beach]

Well it’s on the store for $30. I’ll wait for a sale.

Maybe I'm weird but I don't care about the price of a game that I consider old and mediocre. Wouldn't be worth my time even if free. Imagine food you don't like, does it matter how much it costs if there are lots of other options? Go eat something else. In the end you're whining for the sake of it, no other reason to be here.

Now I do understand if someone who is excited to play this is sad he can't affort it. That's a different matter entirely. But I'm happy this exists at all, wouldn't have dared to dream to ever see a re-release. And now we get a remaster with so much work put into? Insane. So I'm happily paying what they're asking.

These forums are filled to the brim with people who are perpetually unhappy and angry about everything. Having fun? Playing games? Enjoying something, anything? Nah, would cut into the whine-time.

If you can't afford $30 for a game, you are in the wrong hobby.

I have 1900 games just on Steam. Not being able to afford $30 is an issue. The issue is not willing to spend $30 on a game if all that's done to it is slight upscaling. If they want $30 I expect massive improvements and QoL changes.

Good thing this game has both.

“The remaster adds many significant upgrades in terms of gameplay, level design, UI, HUD etc., which go beyond a simple 4K reskin. Ron and I gave the green light to all of that, as well as consulting Andrew Curtis, the original game designer. In practical terms, I did a significant amount of C++ work as we wanted to really take the opportunity to make the remaster as good as possible.”

”People loved the original game, but had some legitimate complaints, e.g. the scripted burst-outs, the difficulty is uneven, the combat was a little janky, the boss fights weren’t great,” admits Atkinson. “We went hard on fixing all that.”

The Thing: Remastered also benefits from the addition of modern gameplay elements such as third-person aiming, quick select wheels, the ability to use a controller on PC, and more.

“Graphically, it’s a big leap forward,” Ashiani adds. “We’ve been able to use all the lighting technology of today, plus higher resolution models and textures. We even managed to add some assets that were cut from the original game, creature variations in particular.”

As someone who didn't play it back on PS2 (avoided it, heard bad things from reviews and friends), I was interested in giving this a try if it were, say, $15 or $20, is my point. The current price point is high enough that, especially without a demo, I'm not sure if I want to give it a shot.
