With the debate about easy modes continuing on, I realised that there are some assumptions being made as to how they would work. I don’t agree, as someone just watching them for entertainment, but if the new way gets more pre-orders that’s all they’re interested in. I’m going to guess that both companies have got hold of data that suggests that this is better than having multiple games with only 30 seconds each. They had a sort of E3 event, that didn’t touch on any of the big stuff, but otherwise their State of Plays have focused on just one or two games at a time. I’m not sure why they’d want to go down this route but it’s essentially the same thing Sony has been doing this year. Splatoon 3 will be next and I’d predict it’ll be announced any day now. I think it’s pretty obvious that Nintendo didn’t do a Direct because they want to focus on one game at a time, with each one getting its own show. I work in behavioural economics so I might coin the phrase ‘Game Pass Dilemma’ for this phenomenon!

I love the Xbox Series X and Game Pass (more so now I have fibre optic broadband) but how I use it, is strange to say the least. Meanwhile, I have maybe a dozen games I’ve downloaded and not touched. The latter the only game I have actually ‘bought’, as it is not on Game Pass. This year, the only games I have played really are Halo and Elden Ring. Not to say I have not downloaded a lot, but I have not played half of them at all and the majority I play for maybe 30 minutes before going back to the ‘safety’ of Halo Infinite. I both love it but also seem to be playing fewer games because of the overwhelming choice!

Frankly, I think people are just using the term cash grab to mean ‘thing I wish was free because I don’t want it enough to pay the asking price’. Many people have argued that the remake doesn’t look different enough to the original but if that’s the complaint surely that means you’re missing out on nothing by not buying it? I wouldn’t argue the remake is a must-have, but I don’t see how anything about it is unfair.
What fans are more angry about is the price, which I agree is high, and the fact that there’s no sort of discount if you already own the original, which I think is unfair as this is a remake not a remaster. Sony want the game to make a good impression and yet the original is a nine-year-old PlayStation 3 game – not a great introduction for non-gamers. You could argue that’s taking advantage of a fad but that seems to be a fairly reasonable thing to do.

I don’t see that there’s anything cynical about it either, it’s just a remake, of which dozens are produced a year, and it’s clearly being produced for a specific purpose of tying into the new TV show. It’s being made from the ground up and is clearly very expensive, as you can tell from the trailer and how long it’s taking. The first thing that seems obvious is that The Last Of Us Part 1 was not cheap.
