Yeah, but it was also an old game that got a remaster and was sold back at 70 dollars.

No, I meant the negative reaction to The Last of Us Part 1 being in response to TLoU2.

Shadow of the Colossus was in a similar boat. We got a remaster on PS3 bundled with a remaster of Ico, then 4 or 5 years later we get another much more extensive remaster on PS4 without Ico but still priced the same. I think there was even initially some grumblings from PS3 owners that it wasn't going to see a release on their system. But seeing as that game and developer hadn't pissed away its goodwill people were generally positive toward it despite a third release quite close to the first remaster.

It could also just be a case of people being tired of this practice, with the 70 dollar price tag as a flick to the nose.

Technically when using new assets beyond mere higher res textures or display resolutions for the original assets, it would be considered a remake. What type of remake depends on how much they dig into it.

Anyways, in case this wasn’t posted yet -

Sony knows they can more than afford replacements. Sony: Power To The Players Suckers.

After all that money they made from scamming people. Now it's possible to do add a battle mode.

I'm about to turn in for the night, but I'll watch it tomorrow to see if Sterlings take aligns with mine.

In the meantime, my two cents. I don't have the raging hard-on that some have for Silent Hill 2, but I will readily admit it is a great horror game, and the reasons why it is great horror are the reasons why Bloober is an awful match. I haven't played all of their games, but what I played was filled to the brim with predictable cliches, obvious scares and on the nose theming, all qualities Silent Hill 2 does not have. Ffs, it does not speak well of a horror game's horror that whenever something 'scary' happened, like some dumb monster appearing, I'd make a beeline towards it, because sometimes that would get the scripted sequence over with faster.
