As for just releasing a functional port, that's find, but then people are going to do a comparison. The new release is only PS4 and Switch, no Xbox, because Xbox owners can still purchase and play the original Xbox 360 release, even digitially, on their XB1 and Series S/X consoles. And that version retails for $29.99 for the digital, although it doesn't include Undead Nightmare, which is an additional $9.99 DLC. However, both have gone on sale before, as low as $9.89 for the game, and $4.99 for Undead Nightmare.

So I think that's what people compare against. $30 seems more reasonable than $50 for this old of a game that hasn't been remastered. And yes, the new release includes Undead Nightmare, but that's still $50 vs $40 to get that all on Xbox, even without a sale, and not everyone necessarily wants Undead Nightmare. If this new release had the same pricing as the Xbox version, $30 for base game, $10 DLC for Undead Nightmare, I think a lot of people would've found the price far more reasonable.

I'll definitely take a "wait and see" approach. If the rerelease looks good, I'll get it, but I'll at least consider just picking up the Xbox version next time it's on sale. I really just want to experience the story

Did you mean to post in the thread for the sequel?
