However not everyone is a major fan so for people who are just genre fans but, not major "insert ip" fan then we see things not from a fandom perspective but, just as what it is. You will happily pay because you are naming games you are a huge huge fan of so your willing to spend money because your invested into the IP like that. and I'm willing to bet for most) new Fatal Frame game appeared for $50 with the guarantee that it looked and felt like the titles I loved 15 years ago, I was pretty excited. Tl dr: I'd happily pay $60-$70 for a new Fatal Frame game - especially if it played like the old-school titles. Survival horror fans could of had 2 weeks to play till RE4 Remake. This could of sold so well at a mid level price point. Yet they still slap $60 and sales already show it was bad move. That to me does not read $60 but, $30 which is still very reasonable and extremely profitable margin to be gained. In this case we got a Wii exclusive Fatal Frame game that was remastered not remade or anything just a overall visual/sound remaster. Especially when so many gamers today bemoan the practices and features of newer titles. Originally posted by Tyrant (My Vision is Augmented):Value is always subjective, but when it comes to video games, I'm always really confused when people say something is worth less because it is old. To be perfectly honest, that makes me more inclined to see it as valuable - not less. The game isn't less fun just because the core of it is 15 years old. We finally got the Fatal Frame holy grail - the one that was remarkably difficult to play for the majority of the world, and we got it on PC, with a graphics update. Have you seen what original copies of Silent Hill 1-3 are going for on Ebay today? You know if Rule of Rose or Eternal Darkness or any of the other "Horror Hard To Gets" got a PC release (HD upgrade or not) people would be throwing money at the screen. If Clock Tower 1-3 got an HD update and a release on PC, I'd be spending the same kind of cash on any of them. If Dino Crisis got a quick HD coat of paint and was available on PC for digital download with modern controls, I wouldn't hesitate to spend $60 USD on that bad boy. Value is always subjective, but when it comes to video games, I'm always really confused when people say something is worth less because it is old.
