That's OK. It was kinda boring anyway. Still would be nice to offer free upgrades on first party titles.
Are there any Xbox games getting remastered for free? Games that came out more than a year ago, and had real work done, new assets etc and not just a resolution or FPS bump?
I'm honestly not sure and don't mean this sarcastically.

Exactly this.
If TLoU Part II doesn't get a free upgrade, I'm sending a handwritten letter to Sony HQ!
Sucks, sounds like you can upgrade your digital version of Miles Morales. I might wait to upgrade to the ultimate edition if I don't want to play Spider-Man Remastered right away.
Weird way to do it.

How does it matter? Watch the same thing happening to TLoU and GoT later on.
Don't waste your time, some people simply have entitlement issues.
anybody expecting free are crass as hell. thats just a nice thing but i never expect. HOWEVER,
I totally get anyone not being offered an upgrade path if they skip out on wanting to play miles morales.
It sounds like the upgrade path is buying miles Morales and you have a chance to pay to get remastered if you play on PS5. Which looks like its 20 dollars. based on the ultimate price on PS5.
It doesnt really impact me in terms of play since ive yet to play spiderman(other than paying like 15 bucks for the game) which is annoying as hell.
I def didnt buy GoT because i wanted to wait to see what they do with it. So def a good option for me.

That would be the opposite logic
Having a save from the game with all the DLC's migrating to the base game would be problematic..not the reverse
Forza Horizon 4 is getting a free Xbox Series upgrade and that's also a 2018 game.
its not even being sold on it's own it's only being bundle with miles that's what got me the most confused
How much to play just base spider man remaster
if it's only with the 70 dollar deluxe version that is some straight up ruthless shit

Because a few publisher offer free updates everyone is expecting not that everything else is free as well.
It would be nice to have at least a 10€ Upgrade pathe or something. But it is what it is and no one promised us free Upgrades for our PS4 games. There is still backwards compatibility though.
I thought there is no standalone Spider-Man PS5, you can only get it through buying a copy of Miles Morales on PS5. Am I mistaken?
If we're talking about gaming, there have been A LOT of good news lately.
Did we really expect anything different when other Sony 1st/2nd party cross-gen remasters haven't been free? You didn't get a free TLOU: Remastered copy with the purchase of the ps3 game.
Gears 5 and Forza 4. I'm not sure if they're remasters though.
Mafia 2 and 3.
On PC, if you had 2, you got 2 DE for free. If you had 3 it was upgraded to the DE too (this happened on PSN as well - they gave 3 free on PS+ and made the DLC all free).
Fairly sure the Bioshock remasters were given for free on Steam once the Bioshock Collection came.
Not even stand alone huh? I would gladly buy a stand alone version of remaster.
Lookes like im waiting for a sale on ultimate edition.

What kind of upgrades tho? The console just running them better or actual upgrades?
I do think it is an odd decision, but we can still play the game we purchased.
It does feel like a decision that will be overturned tho. Sony is odd at the moment.
They are adding ray tracing to some games, doubling the frame rates, and doubling the resolution for those games for free. As of right now, Sony isn't doing anything like that for free.
Further elaborating from Insomniac
This is incorrect. If you have a standard edition of Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales (whether you bought PS4 or PS5), when you play it on PS5, there will be an in-game option to "upgrade" to the Ultimate Edition (aka, download Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered) for $20.
If they were gonna be stingy, I could see an upgrade path for people who just owned the base PS4 game that gave people the definitive edition for PS5 which comes with DLC.
But if folks own the base PS4 version + DLC or the GOTY edition, I think they should be allowed to get the Definitive edition for free.
Right now, the ultimate MM edition comes with MM + Definitive Edition. I think that bundle is fine for folks who own the base PS4 version.

But it's not really $20 since it's gated behind a $70 purchase and there's no way to buy it as a standalone. I have no issue if they want to charge money for the remaster, but at least offer it as a standalone purchase. Heck, make it $30 and you save $10 by buying the bundle if they wanted to give incentive to buy the bundle over the standalone.
That fake Insomniac Twitter account a few days back really got my hopes up.
I digress, but I was similarly frustrated over the last transition when there was no upgrade path for The Last of Us - I don't even demand a free upgrade; I can appreciate a compromise of a modest paid upgrade to support the devs for the additional work if my original purchase doesn't cover the publisher's new project cost. But, hey, at least there's BC this upcoming gen, so it doesn't sting as much.

If you already have Spidey PS4 and you don't want the upgrade you can keep playing it.
If you only want Miles on PS5 you don't have to pay for the Remaster.
If you want to own both Miles and the Remaster you can do so with the bundle or paid upgrade.
So, there are avenues for everyone to obtain the Remaster. Just not a free one. I am assuming this has a lot to do with Marvel, a notoriously cheap ass company. Maybe they just didn't want to give one of their best selling games of last gen out for free to more people. It sucks but that's the way this is going. At the very least, we have confirmation now and people can decide how they want to proceed.
The additional thing being confirmed here is there's also no way of buying the upgrade as a standalone option. It's only part of the MM bundle.
Yes it's entitled to think that there should be at the very minimum an upgrade path to get Spider-Man Remastered if you bought the PS4 version of Miles. This whole thing was handled extremely poorly.
Already have the Ultimate Edition preordered and wasn't really expecting a free upgrade to be honest.
ya whats the upgrade price? if its 10 bucks i dont mind. prolly worth the work they put into it
That was seven years ago and the expectations have changed a lot. There was no PS3 backwards compatibility on PS4, so no expectation that you could just put your existing copy in and have it work or be upgraded. Plus now Playstation's direct competitor is running with "Smart Delivery" as a marketing bullet point.
Yeah this should have been done in 2021, when more details about backwards compatibility were revealed because Spider-Man is already a great looking game, i can already run as is with boost mode stuff. And if this is a step up then i understand why they would have to charge for it.
You can upgrade and get the Remaster as long as you buy Miles Morales on PS4 or PS5. Is the market of people who want Spider-Man but not Miles Morales when the option for both is an additional $20 purchase that wide?
