In reply to red2k.

Yes, you are correct. I remember back when new games on the NES cost $45.00 or a little more. The price for console games has never really changed that much……they have just gotten better over time (not counting the post Atari pre NES Video Game Market crash).

In reply to Lostbytes. No sir/maam. You obviously have not watched the entirety of their presentation. Skyrim on XB1 and PS4 is getting integrated Mod support on consoles for free just like they did for Fallout 4.

If you would “gladly” dump another $60 on a game you own, just because someone plonked its assets in a slightly newer version of the same engine, they might be paying you a bit too much for what you do.

In reply to Andrew Bentz. i do know .... i own it on the 360 and picked it up last year on sale on the pc for 10$. (So i know all about MODS, i also write them) Also, i do not see where they state mod support will be ported to X1, So, it is just a GFX bump for the console

In reply to d0x360.

All fair points. I would put it from the developers and publishers standpoint as a counter.

Why would they spend their valuable time improving all those textures if they did not think someone would spend money on it? And having spent that time is their time not worth being payed for?

I get the idea that it’s an experience you already payed for and that is very understandable. However people went back to work on this. They have to be paid and the publisher needs to make money back on it’s investment. Maybe they will, maybe they wont, but they have to try.

I’ve already bought 3 copies of skyrim and gotten one free for my ps3s, thanks to my brother and my daughters. I will be getting it on ps4 too. More for faster load times and hopefully better stability. Nicer graphics is just icing on the cake.

In reply to Daniel Haze. First comment in these troll boards with common sense. I agree with you. Most people are not even putting a legit argument. I will probably buy it as will you. But it doesn't hurt to voice our opinions.
