That is what a good company that like it's fans does.
can't wait to play.

Kind of want to know who calls the shots for these. Like, publishers obviously but why and when? I gather, it's when they can? I understand (kind of) Battlefield 2042 doing this since the next-gen version is waaaay better than current-gen, and has more players, etc.

But for simpler, jazzed up frame rates and whatnot? Why charge for it? Extra money sure, but does it warrant it? Not a dev so I don't know.

bradfh1814d ago

Publishers buys the company's development team that doesn't have much money to start game or finsh and market team takes all the profit without giving a penny to development team that make the company in the first place. the original team leaves and new people take on the work but never the same. activision-blizzard and ea are big on this.

Publishers that are giving money to development teams without taking over the company makes better games for us all.

I wonder if that means the PS4/XboxOne versions will be $70? Or will the PS5/XSX versions of the game be $60?

Nitrowolf21814d ago

i bet $60 tbh
i think the only cross gen games to be $70 are the ones without free upgrades?

medman1814d ago

I like where they're going with this.

Soooo don't buy the PS5 version and I can get 2 games for a cheaper price than just buying the PS5 version? Got it!

why is that dumb? It's the same price everywhere else.

repsahj50d ago

Because it's Nintendo. Post negative first before analizing.

LiViNgLeGaCY50d ago

Because this is the ONLY version you can buy on the S2, correct? I don't think you can buy just the game for $60 like the other platforms. And if I'm wrong about this, then I take it back.

LiViNgLeGaCY50d ago

@repsahj - Dude, shut up. I like Nintendo a lot, actually. I just want the option to get the base game for $60 WITHOUT the DLC. I've done plenty of "analyzing".

Neonridr51d ago

Before anyone complains, this is the same price on PlayStation, Xbox and Steam. It comes with the Game and the DLC.

Elda51d ago

The game is $40 & the expansion is $40 so the price is right.

VersusDMC51d ago

The standard edition physical should have been 40 then with the expansion seperate. Why normalize 80 dollar games? Specially ports of old games.

If people accept this might as well make physical 80 dollar deluxe versions only.

repsahj50d ago

This $80 version is also available on PS5 and XSX.

VersusDMC50d ago

@repsahj

The ps5 has the standard version and the 80$ version so it gives you the choice...on switch 2 physical you can only buy the 80 dollar version.

I guess since they got the data that less than half of elden ring players beat the game and would probably not buy the DLC, they decided to just not make it an option and charge more...

GotGame81850d ago

Like it or not, the vast majority of game sales are digital. Just like movies, and music. At least Gamekey cards are shareable and you can sell them.
