So then the most "optimal" purchase would be buy Miles on PS4 -> get free PS5 upgrade -> spend $20 to upgrade to Ultimate?
Yup. It's a beefy remaster by the sound of it so I don't mind paying a nominal fee to upgrade from the ps4 version ($15-20 or less). But it's so weird for it to not be available standalone.
I'm not sure about Sony but decent stores on PC can absolutely grant entitlements based on ownership of other products. That's how Skyrim Special Edition handled it. The remaster was free but only if you already owned the base game and all DLC.
But in that case you had no other option since the PS3 game had to be made again on PS4.
Thank you for the info. Will this be compatible with the disc version of Miles Morales?
i think there is more incentive for them to do it because they dont have first party games ready at launch.
All of Microsoft's stuff coming to next gen and that should be enough. First party should be offering free updates.
But you absolutely can offer an upgrade if someone owns the base game + dlc. It happened "by accident" for Control.
What I meant is SIE can't just give away the DLCs just so that people with the base game can have a free PS5 upgrade. That would be a big FU to those who actually bought the season pass/DLCs separately.
Does it work in this industry though? I feel like there needs to be a bit more fluff and smoke to succeed here...
Sack boy Horizon and MM are getting free upgrades, just not the old stuff.
thanks. I do agree free upgrades should be different than something that takes more effort and cost. I understand it all must be weighed.
It's not that hard to understand. People want to see their loyalty to the ecosystem acknowledged. People who buy every Sony exclusive feel nickel and dimed. Sony is saying, "sure you already bought this game but please buy it again because we believe you are willing to give us more money.'
For real, you'd think 505 kicked their dogs lol
Yup, same cost, just more "stuff". And who knows, the PS4 game will probably go on sale sooner.
I hope so, that doesn't sound too bad.
When the dust has settled after launch, I'm quite they will release a standalone upgrade for this at around $20. That's a far cry from what Nintendo does with their $60 last-gen ports, so while it sure as hell isn't better than MS, it could be way worse. I'm curious to see the FH4 enhancements compared to what they've done here, like I said once the dust has settled.
They would pay 20 to upgrade to the ultimate edition of miles with the remastered included, not 70.
