Bionic Commando Rearmed

[Rem]

What the fuck IS remote play anyway? I really do not like the ps3 controller, so I might bite the bullet on BCR. But for Street fighter forget it, can you use usb converters with ps3 for ps2 crap? If so LOL at MS on that count.

Meh, Day One for me. Loved it as a kid, I'm getting the 360 Version.

1. Cause it'll have achievements
2. I don't own a PS3 =D

Nobody sensible was predicting things would get to the point where games would outgross Hollywood movies within 10 years, and nobody in 1994 was talking about HD so they couldn't have appreciated how that would affect development costs or how/why it would differ from VGA.

Perhaps, but you can't believe that they didn't have an inkling about the potential growth of the industry and that things were going to expand rapidly. You already examples of this in both Sega's and EA's massive growth in a relatively short time, as well as how many publishers from the 8 and 16-bit era didn't survive the transition to 32-bit, even with the switch to CDs. I doubt they predicted HD, but they were certainly aware of an increase in development costs and the increase in manpower to make games.

I think you just got older, had kids and learned the value of a dollar

Lol, it could just be this too.

Both Best Buy and Circuit City had COD4 for $40 two months after release. The only reason I used Amazon as an example was because it was recent. I still don't really get the nature of your complaint.

How about the fact that neither of the stores you mentioned exist where I live? $67 was the price here everywhere, after tax.

What the hell? Why all of this bitching in the Bionic Commando thread? This looks awesome so far. And multiplayer (but only local?) makes it sound even better.

Jesus, only on TNL.I'm blaming Melf. Ill gladly pay $15 for a kick-ass complete overhaul remake of one of my favorite games on the NES. It would have been $30+ if it was on PSP or DS, so its still cheap. Quit the bitchin.

After reading this thread. This is a must buy.

[Korly]

You're only taking into account Nintendo's greed for those cart prices, because Genesis games never cost that much.

Phantasy Star IV and Virtua Racing say "sup."

[Melf]

Two games out of close to a thousand?

No one is bitching about Bionic Commando Rearmed.

[BonusKun]

He still gotcha on that tho Melf. I remember paying a lot for Shining Force II also. Phantasy Star IV cost me 100 bones on release at a Software Ect.

[James]

In all fairness, Phantasy Star IV and Virtua Racer were exceptions even then. Average price for a cart was $50-$60, while average price for a new PS1 or PS2 game nearing the end of the console's life is $40-ish.

True James but saying that a Genesis game had never reached that high in price before is kinda shooting yourself in the foot on a board like this.
