Old games are being sold at absurd prices. It's ridiculous how much cash is asked from a consumer for some old game.

In the case of contra we are talking about a game released in 1987. This is a 32 year old game now being sold at 20 euro dollars. Even if it is a pack of a bunch of games, it is still not reasonable.

How do buyfags justify buying into this ? You cannot even claim you support the dev, since the dev is either dead or working somewhere else. You would only be supporting the shitty publisher.

Explain this shit.

Anybody who wanted the roms, already has them, at this point the only people buying it are the ones willing to overpay for stuff like that.

It's not like they're going to do the reasonable thing and just sell the roms outright. Hell Sega BARELY was convinced to do it with the promise of more Sonic Mania type devs, and even then it's just their Steam collection in a decompressed format.

###############################

Then we can go onto remasters and HD versions. How much is it justifiable ? I get that there is some work done on the product, but it is being taken too far. AoE2 now has a normal, HD and will very soon have a definitive edition. All priced relatively high.

These are games with barely existing communities and these no longer developers but rather publishers are actively splitting what little is left of the communities in them. I don't see the starcraft 1 community surviving, nor the AoE1-2 community surviving a new game.

Blame copyright law. It creates artificial scarcity and drives up the cost of the surviving copies of everything made in the last 120 years (or author's dead +70). If laymen could freely pirate without any stigma or fear of prosecution, then scalpers would have little reason to jack up prices.

Because soulless NPCs only have products to try (and fail) to define them, as they have literally nothing else. No mind, no soul, no personality. No individuality. No self-awareness. No self-thought. Nothing. They buy something for a large amount of money, and show to everyone while saying: "See this? I wasted big money on this. That means that i am big too." Or: "See this? You like this. And i bought it. So i am the same as you now". That is literally it.

As always, be a sane person: pirate everything, and never compensate anyone. Let the mindless cattle waste their money, while you get everything for free.

Assuming they have to charge something, how much should they charge per game? Does it depend on the game, the console? What is the cut-off age? At what point does a game have to drop in price?

Should an NES rom cost 99 cents? Should an SNES rom cost 1.99? Should a PS1 iso cost 2.99? Should a game from 2016 drop in price? What about a game from 2014? If so, by how much? Should it be 20 bucks? I'm interested in seeing what anons actually think would be fair other than "every game should be free, fuck you".

Game age is irrelevant to me, as long as the quality holds up. I'd have no problem paying 20 bucks for a physical copy of Deus Ex, simply because 20 is the most I am willing to pay for a game and it's one of my favorite games ever. But fuck me if I'm ever gonna drop even five bucks on Sonic Mania.

If we are assuming that the games won't be shit then:

20 bucks for major new releases

5-10 for new indies

A rerelease is free to all who own the original copy, 10$ otherwise, unless it's from three generations ago, then it should be 5$.

A remaster is 75% off for those who own the original. 15$ otherwise.

A remake can be priced the same as a new game.

After twenty years have passed, the copyright on the game wears off and the developers are obliged to release the source code and the game becomes part of public domain.


1dd63f  No.16600431

>>16600307

Just a little over however much it costs them to upload the rom to your device (assuming we're talking digital, here). There's no manufacturing cost and the devs were already paid for their work on the game. Publishers are distributing these games for relative pennies, we should be paying relative nickles.

>>16600307

>Game age is irrelevant to me, as long as the quality holds up. I'd have no problem paying 20 bucks for a physical copy of Deus Ex,

I think the same. however I wouldn't buy that because none of the original devs will actually see a single shekel of my purchase and squeenix doesn't care about deus ex so I don't care about supporting them financially.


2cc303  No.16600912

If it was priced reasonably ($5 per game, tops) they risk selling a bunch more copies, which would spread them to an audience that doesn't know about the wonders of emulation, and ultimately prove that old games are more desirable than new ones (maybe because they're better? shit i dunno). Of course (((the industry))) knows this and won't shoot itself in the feet.

With this pricing they make about the same profit from the few zoomer idiots who still remember these games and cannot operate a computer, while selling fewer copies so they can point and say "see! old games are dead. buy the latest stuff, goy".

I'd like to see a remaster of some 10-ish year old "classic" in the same conditions as these to see which sells more. But you know that a remaster of, say, DmC would be preceded by months of commercials, manufactured outrage, etc, so you just can't make that kind of comparison in this timeline.

I pirated both the contra collection and the castelvania one to see if it was atleast a quality port and i've got to say they're both 2 of the biggest pieces of shit i've ever seen.

No settings, it doesn't go into fullscreen just maxes out a window to your monitor size, but not borderless either, and the controller settings are fucked too. Controller works to let me pick a game, controller works to start the game and skip cutscenes, controller stops working once i'm actually in the game and need to move my character. But the real kicker is it doesn't even do this in all the games, in some it works no problem.

Wouldn't most chinese controllers use lead paint? That shit was found on Barbie dolls.

I think the sole old games I've bought digitally were the PS1 Classics from the Playstation Store so I could play them on my Vita, at 617 yen a piece (although there are some exceptions like the Final Fantasy and Super Robot Wars games having x2.5 the initial price maximum, so exactly 1542 yen). I think those prices are alright compared to what I could find on the market of used PS1 games. Playstation games are generally less scalped than the Nintendo counterparts, with the mere exception of schmup and horror games.

The PSP had a good amount of nice retro compilations. Hudson also made some quality PC-Engine compilations for the playstation handheld

>>16604162

I recently finished Metal Slug 2 and 5 yesterday, but the sole thing that bothers me slightly in that compilation is the massive framedrop and input delay when browsing the game options. Not a dealbreaker, just weird.

That X Collection had a bunch of problems and bugs in the roms they didn't bother to fix, like Megaman X3 having tracks that ends and then loop instead of constantly looping.

I don't know if the new one fixed these problems, but the first collection was faulty. What I don't get is why it is 2 parts. Still great if you can pirate it.

Anon, you're giving way too much credit here. Remember the GBA's "NES Collection" series? Yenamoto wanted $20-40 EACH for the fucking legend of zelda, metroid, and castlevania fifteen years ago. I wasn't into homebrew but I'm willing to bet that 3 years into the GBA's lifecycle someone had already worked out, or was close to working out, running roms and hb on it.

It is if the amount of work put into the product is equivalent to something even a retard could do with an internet connection and some rom sites. At 20 euros there has to be something that the collection brings to the table.

There are "gamers" out there who apply politics to the medium wholesale. I don't mean SJWs specifically, I mean people who buy games as a form of activism. They bought fully into the "vote with your wallet" meme to the point where they buy games just to feel like they're making some kind of greater difference in the world. It sounds unbelievable, but just read article or forum comments for any remaster or rerelease which is poorly or arguably poorly done. Best recent example is Seiken Densetsu 3 not having any of the crippling bugs fixed. I read many comments which said "Yeah sucks they didn't fix the bugs, but I'm going to buy the game anyway because Square Enix needs to bring more games to the west." The problem here is that the purchaser can't possibly know how a marketer will interpret that data, and they usually do it incorrectly. They might think "We can get away with selling remasters of buggy games as long as we localize them" or "we can sell SNES games for $40." The fact that these retards want to be a part of a marketing data set because they feel validated is disgusting.

I just pirate everything, but lately I've found that I often end up playing games that are already free. They're often more enjoyable because the developer gave a crap of producing an actual worthwhile game instead of cashing in on some steam paypigs.

Downloading games like Contra somwhere I'd not even really consider even pirating tbh. I even still own some of these old computers and original disks.

This anon gets it. DRM-free digital > physical disks. Much easier to store, backup, and share.

I've gone through and created ISOs from all my old disks as well, so now I can play them by just mounting the ISO to a virtual drive. Loading times are much faster and my computer runs much more quietly without the disk drive spinning.
