£18 would be too much if this was a simple HD remake or up-rez of the original but it’s really not. For what you’re getting, £18 is even a little bit cheaper than I expected – this could very easily be a disc-based release at £30, from what I’ve seen and played.
Cross Play too, when the other platforms are released.
I think that’s a pretty decent price, all things considered.

meh. i’ll just wait until it goes free on PS plus. the game costs almost half of a years PS plus sub for crying out load. it will be free on PS plus before the end of the year.

It’s amazing how there’s always a comment that X game will be on PS+ within a year whenever a good non-AAA game is revealed.
The comments are obviously wrong most of the time, but still people keep repeating them.
I couldn’t get a summer job (at least not yet), so I hope you’re right, but I have a feeling I’ll be buying this one when I can afford to. It’s definitely worth it (comparing any game to PS+ in terms of value is simply unfair in my opinion, PS+ is way too good).

Given the US and EU prices and the usual trend when it comes to the UK price I think we’re getting a brilliant deal, I’ll be very happy to fork out £18.

£18 less 15%-18% if you buy credit online which means this title is around £15 in real terms. This is looking very tasty indeed…

Next week? That will be tempting..

Very nice and I agree on the fair pricing. Destiny Beta + this next week and then TLOU remastered at the end of the month for me then!

@oddworldinc tweets this is US only at the mo.. It’s not in the store yet but I suppose it is incoming. Not a lot has appealed on PS4 yet so this and the last of us are high on my to do list

At that price this’ll likely be a day one buy for me! Was expecting the usual US:UK price conversion (ie 1:1) so very happy with this

I’ve never played this before so I reckon I’ll give it a go. Now the World Cups over this will keep me occupied ’til I repurchase TLOU.
