I was thinking with the Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Expansion being released as essentially the same game you already bought plus the new content at full price, and the HD collections of various games being popular (Silent Hill HS collection being the exception) why not go big with the Skyrim GotY Edition?
Generally its the edition that certain holdouts wait for so that all the DLC and bug fixes of game X are finished and sold bundled at a lower price.
But with DLC being largely a creation of this console generation, which is after a long term coming to an end, why not release said Skyrim Omega on the next gen consoles with all the bells and whistles?
Imagine having the current max PC settings available on the console version of the game on PS4 etc.
Finally the GotY version of a game would actually be vastly superior graphically to the original release. The games are developed on rigs that offer incredible experiences and then they basically need to be dumbed down to run on our old hardware. So with the new hardware approaching, wouldn't it be nice to get new life out of a wildly popular game that IS ALREADY MADE so that it could get in on that console launch goodness?
Seriously that would sell at least a few systems, and other devs would likely follow suit with things like Crysis 2 Console HD, or whatever. It would be a good way for Sony and M$ to really get the point across on just how much better the new shiny box is compared to the ones we already have. Show us the stuff we already love, only better than we have ever seen it.
It would also, barring the cost of rebuying said games if you already own them potentially, help defray the BS that comes with the utter lack of backwards compatibility.
They could be digital downloads, to ease people into the idea of getting more than the usual smallish games that way as most people currently do.
Idk about everyone else but I hold off getting a new console for potentially a few years before there is more than 2 or 3 games for it I want, so having games like Skyrim readily available at launch time with OMG graphics and all the DLC bundled would definitely get me interested in a PS4. Currently I am in no way interested in a PS4. Insert Halo, GoW, and Xbox if you swing that way instread.
Anyone agree that it would be cool to see Ultimate editions for recent blockbuster titles make it to the new consoles as opposed to rereleased as is in current gen Goty editions?
