We're selling remasters before sequels now? Seems like a weird thing to dump resources in. Wonder if this is a product of weird bad management at MSGS. "Hey we've got 30 people with nothing to do for 9 months. What can we do..." The game itself was only good insofar as making me think with a bigger budget, they could make an actually cool game. This was like a proof of concept. Weird thing to remaster... before the sequel even. Gaming Journalists: investigate dis.

Unfortunately the upgrade path only exists for people who already own the original and all the DLCs. Then you can upgrade for the lower price. Otherwise, your only option is buying at full MSRP.

That's dog shit. So they're forcing me to buy DLC that I don't want just so I can play the base game on the new hardware. Yea no thanks.

Jesus Christ. It'n not even published by Microsoft for God's sake. If it's made by Obsidian then they probably were contracted to do that even before acquisition.

Maybe, but you won't be getting it because females with long hair are sexist and racist. So instead they'll offer you a terribly designed trans person with short hair, 200kg body and wheelchair bound. /sAre the next-gens powerful enough to simulate long female hair?

Really enjoyed the game, the dialogues, combat and quests and skills and perks. Not owning the DLC yet.
I wish there was a upgrade path for it, like get the expansion pass with this new release together.
I'm not sure if I wanted to spend ten Euro on better visuals and AI. Then again I paid 10 EUR for the GT7 PS5 upgrade that significantly lowered loading time by the factor 8. Felt worth it, although as a PC player I'm still kind of baffled to pay extra so the software can utilise better hardware.
Imagine upgrading your PC and in order to increase fps, resolution and loading times coming from HDD to SSD you'd have to pay extra on the software.
Seems weird, but this is consoles.

But you can already play base game on new hardware. That's remaster not some backward compatibility port.
Look of characters in this game was budget related. You didn't realized that literally every person in that game had same head with same face structure?

I knew I should have specified I know I can play the PS4 version. I'm talking about this upgraded version. Let me upgrade my base game only. They're just being greedy forcing purchase of the DLC.

Yeh the game certainly isn’t a looker. Had fun with it when it released. It also isn’t the best game ever made. Wonder why it needs a remake so soon unless they overhaul the graphics, gameplay and complete story.

Exactly. And they have the gall to force this DLC purchase bullshit.

I hope this lot sort themselves out for Avowed because although I enjoyed aspects of this game the fucking item pick ups were totally pointless....the game was filled with shit to pick up and none of it was of any fucking use at all....other than the odd health refill I had zero use for any of the items in this game,I just shot everything dead easily(and that was on hard difficulty).If you are going to make an rpg make all the stuff you put in the game have an actual use ffs.

This was not a very good game. HIGHLY overrated in reviews. I think people wanted so bad to like this game because of the Fallout76 shitshow that it clouded their judgement.

It's not remake but remaster and they are doing it so Take2 can sell it to you second time.

Store page says full price, but this says otherwise, but isn't active yet and 5 quid is even better.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Can someone clarify this for me, yes I see the tweets above but they're not clear.
- If I have the base game downloaded via game pass. And then I buy the DLC for it. - Will that make me eligible to upgrade to the new verison ?
Or do I need to have an owned copy, not a game pass copy, of the game to do the above ?

I can get this even without the game installed. Let me know if it actually works...I can get the upgrade for $9.99 and it says that it works with the Game Pass version that I have installed.

Played this when it came out originally. I think the most annoying thing to me was there wasn’t any romance options, not that the character models were that great anyways, but it felt pretty weird you could do a romance side quest for an NPC (for Parvati), but not yourself. Couple that with the fact that it doesn’t take much to get every “everybody is happy now” quest conclusion and the game didn’t really seems to have much meat to it.

The worst part is that the romance plot seems so out of place in this game. Like they started with this overwhelmingly cynical & satirical story, then the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion team added Parvati’s quest to meet their propaganda quota.
Why else would they even put this ridiculous quest in the game:
- Parvati gets a crush on some female engineer
- she confides in you that she’s a lesbian but she’s also asexual and she’s worried that her crush won’t be okay with that
- you encourage her to ask her crush out on a date anyway and explain her feelings
- she goes ahead with it and everything works out perfectly fine with no conflict
- she confides in you that she’s a lesbian but she’s also asexual and she’s worried that her crush won’t be okay with that
- you encourage her to ask her crush out on a date anyway and explain her feelings
- she goes ahead with it and everything works out perfectly fine with no conflict

No, OW is not an MS published game.
