C-H-E-F3315d ago

and this is when being an early adopter to games bite you in the ass everytime. SMH

red2tango3315d ago

It's for Hong Kong so you're not missing out.

QUIMICOMORTAL3315d ago

You know that if you are an early adopter you played those games years ago don't you?

YAO-BLING3315d ago

Sony appreciates you sir

Pennywise1383315d ago

I don't mind paying to play them first but when Im an early adopter and the game sits in my backlog until the ultimate everything edition is marked down to 10 bucks before I even play it is when I start to get bummed out.

C-H-E-F3315d ago (Edited 3315d ago )

@Pennywise

I fall victim to that all of the time, it's annoying for example i bought deus ex only for it to be 19.99 now at Amazon lOl. The game just came out man :(

But yeah I agree with you all, price - wait ratio is outweighed by getting the games release day opposed to waiting 2 years for a price drop, but still just seeing games on a sale like this makes me cringe as an early adopter. Even after seeing this it won't stop me haha, but it just kind of sucks to always be "first" for games being released then the people who just bought the system get the super ultimate extended developer always wanted to make this version the perfect game edition for 30 bucks less than what you paid for the standard I have to drop another 60 to get the full game experience edition lOl.

Christopher3315d ago

@C-H-E-F: Some games it is annoying, but games like Deus Ex, I'm happy to pay full price for them and enjoy them day 1.

CorndogBurglar3315d ago

Not really. You had the pleasure of playing those games well over a year ago at this point.

Pantz3315d ago

Already got these games cheaper during sales this holiday. $22.26 for gravity rush and $10.66 each for the other 4.

KillBill3314d ago

@Pennywise - who's fault is that? Why would you buy a single player game if you aren't going to play it until a year down the line? Try making better decisions in your life maybe?

bouzebbal3314d ago

This bundle shows that Sony's DNA is about the variety

Artemidorus3314d ago

Days of me being an early adopter are over.

rezzah3314d ago

At least u get the time to finish them and be up to date with more current games.

Amazon also slashed 50% of some games. I think they are preparing for the release of some bundles as well.

IamTylerDurden13315d ago

Bloodborne is The Old Hunters Edition. That's a $20 DLC by itself.

XanderZane3315d ago

Excellent deal for anyone getting a PS4 for the first time. For anyone who have had a PS4 since lanch, they will probably already have most of those games. I wish Nintendo would do bundles like these with their 1st party games. I know, I'm dreaming. lol!!

FallenAngel19843315d ago

Are these packages in North America

81BX3315d ago

Not yet. Says Hong Kong... there has to be a word other than "deal". This is beyond that. Amazing price point for what you get

Aloy-Boyfriend3315d ago

It would be cool if they do this every holiday

Sony Remade Demon’s Souls, So Why Won’t It Touch Bloodborne?

The Outerhaven writes: Bloodborne is still one of PlayStation’s most beloved exclusives, but it remains trapped on PS4. Meanwhile Demon’s Souls got a full PS5 remake. But why?

Demon's Souls was a PS3 game.

Bloodborne is PS4 and can be played on a PS5.

There's no need for a remaster.

Relientk7710h ago

I completely agree with you on this. If you want remasters or remakes give us games from the PS1 or PS2 era like Legend of Dragoon.

Eonjay4h ago

I would say thats a personal oponion trying to be passed off as a law. Truth is thre are many people who would love a remaster.upgrade so they can play Bloodborne at 60 FPS. People would literally love that.

shadowhaxor6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

I mentioned that in my article, did you read it? I literally pointed out this is exactly why the game is still doing well, and why Sony has zero reason to remake/remaster it.

And there are plenty of PS4 to PS5 remaster/remakes, to counterpoint that.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
GTA V Expanded & Enhanced
Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut
Control: Ultimate Edition
Death Stranding Director’s Cut
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection
The Last of Us Part II Remastered

Eonjay4h ago

Either because they technically can't because From Soft wont allow them too, or because From Soft is sorking on the sequal, remaster themselves. Therre is a third option of course and that would be that they are working on it

MinnesotaFatts2h ago

Some part of me wonders if there's some sort of corporate war going on at Sony.

Daver5h ago

I want a new one not a remaster

victorMaje4h ago

TLoU got the remaster & then the remake treatment.
Where is the next bloodborne, or remaster, or remake?

Goodguy013h ago

What it needs is a ps5+pc release. The game absolutely needs a 4k60 update. Lots of money sony is sleeping on while the souls genre is still hot.

MinnesotaFatts2h ago

Tell me you don't know what a remaster is without telling me.

Bloodborne is infamously capped at 30fps on either system--a bizarre design choice given that speed and reaction time is central to the gameplay systems. This capped performance was never patched out officially, unless you jailbreak and mod your console. A remaster for modern hardware, not the infamously finicky PS4 devkits, would be a great way to both hyper-optimize the game *and* drive sales for the PS5, which still doesn't have a system seller title.

There might be some licensing red tape they cant get around?

shadowhaxor6h ago

That'd be interesting, but Sony owns the IP 100%. So, I can't see how that is part of the issue, if there is even one.

RaiderNation2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Maybe Sony isnt interested in doing it without the assistance of Miyazaki and he's not interested? (Just spit-balling).

MinnesotaFatts2h ago

That's the issue according to FROMSOFT. They'd *love* to do a remaster, but Sony won't even return their calls.

Inverno6h ago

Because they're saving that for the PS6 to lure in all the suckers that will think they're making a sequel, but the whole gen will pass by and From won't ever touch it because Song doesn't care for either Demon or Blood outside of remakes.

Furesis4h ago

Because they made them do something else, then they canceled it and who knows what they are doing these days. They dont understand what they have and honestly i dont think they know what they are doing either.

blacktiger3h ago

How bout forget remade and start making new game pls?

Id take 10yrs later over 10yrs + later and being charged again for it.

PrinceOfAnger49d ago

Oh.. when did PS5 get Horizon 5 ?

How many years ? 5 years !
but they got no problem here right ?

Halo CE is 2001 game

What about if PS5 get Sunset over drive
How many years ?

Dexterio49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

And PC gamers wallets always lose :) Gotta upgrade that graphics card constantly because you want to experience all those hyper realistic graphics with solid frame rate LMAO!🤣

Gridknac49d ago

LOL, you upgrade your console every 5-7 yrs. When you do get that shiny new console it has 3yr old pc tech in it. Not to mention 1/2 of your purchased games may or may not work and oftem show very little improvement. If you were to get this type of a remaster from sony, it would cost you another $70. PC can run pretty much any game ever made and will give you the option to remaster it as little or as much as you like for FREE. PC sets the bar and your console attempts the bar 3yrs later.

DustMan49d ago

LOL. I updated my 1080ti to a 3080 for $300 in a part swap. that was in late 2020. I'm still crushing games at higher frame rates lol. Bought the PC in late 2017 with an i7-8700 cpu. Still. Going. Strong. Maybe upgrade next year or around the decade mark.

In the meantime I'll play every game imaginable via emulation, and new releases as they come.

Good-Smurf49d ago

The only reason Sony won't budge with this is that they probably want it to be more than remaster which is how ShadPS4 is doing to Bloodborne right now provided that you have strong enough hardware.

Arslan10049d ago

This article shows how Bloodborne can now run at 4 K and 60 FPS on PC via emulation — a big leap compared with the PS5 backward-compatibility version. and for translation help try: https://www.translationserv...

andy8549d ago

I really dont know why theyre holding on to this so much when its been asked for so much. Unless there'd a plan of a demons souls style remake

Miraak82 49d ago

Probably because their expectations of how much a game should sell is too high now a days, it only hit above 9 mil in sales in the coarse of 10 years. When they have franchises that sell x2 or x3 that number in half the time it's probably hard for them to justify the cost since they've gone the coarse of appealing to the widest audiences ... and Bloodborne isn't exactly that type of game . Even looking at trophies only a small percentage beat it let alone got half way through it sadly .

andy8549d ago

That's because of difficulty and not really much cost in remastering games. Look at what the PC community do for free. Its guaranteed profit for Sony.

Miraak82 49d ago

It's also a Fromsoft game and uses it's own propriety engine so unless they go to FS themselves or remake it like Demons Souls remake it's probably not worth the hassle from them .
