Sony Announces New Line Of HD HD Collections!
As a direct response to the recent success of Sony’s Playstation 4 with virtually no original, exclusive content, the Japanese electronics company has announced their shift in focus to remastering all of our favorite HD remasters. Focusing on a new strategy to release one strong exclusive per year and pad their lineup in between, it seems as if Bloodborne is meant to tide us over, assuming any of us can get passed the first hour.
“We are very excited to take the next step in defining the next-gen experience,” said Andrew House, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment. “We’ve always said that Greatness Awaits. It turns out that greatness arrived ten years ago.”
After learning that gamers are willing to buy tens of millions of consoles with a library consisting mainly of games they could’ve played on their previous console, Sony is seemingly striking while the iron’s hot, realizing that it would cost even less and take no time to reprint existing collections with a blue box rather than give new titles the HD treatment.
“We’re running out of games to remaster as is!”, added House.
While full details are expected to come out at E3 this year, games that are rumored to be apart of the lineup include:
Killzone 1-3: The Do You Care About It Yet? Edition,
Jak and Daxter HD HD- Now With Jak X,
The Sly Collection 2, bundled with all those copies of Sly 4 that people said they wanted and never bought.
The Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection: Revengence, adding Platinum Games’ Raiden focused action title to the collection Konami has been slowly adding to since 2006.
And most importantly, the The Last Guardian Is Still Coming, We Promise Collection featuring Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.
New features will include longer install times, a handful of 10GB patches in the first week, an in-game selfie option and something something share button.
While Microsoft is expected to follow suit, Nintendo has responded with announcing 15 new exclusive Wii U titles that are all expected to be well designed and critically acclaimed. However, one gamer on their Facebook page said he couldn’t be bothered with “Kiddy games.”
