But as others have said almost certainly the wisdom of pushing it as a PS+ title. Always feels like a really rough situation to convert. You're looking to sell to what seems like a thin slice of the Venn diagram - new players to an old game who feel like they are going to like a game enough to push through a rocky start.

And when you are coming to an older game you have to know damn well that you are jumping into a shark tank, so you need to be prepared to take your lumps from people who have stuck with the game since ye olden tymes. I think its worse with FGs: although they can have a much better shelf life (a great FG is as much fun to play now as it was when it was new) anyone that is into that game almost certainly already owns it or otherwise has ways to play it. Good point about TWEWY, I forgot about that re-release.Īwakening I think of as a different beast, and it sort of illustrates my issue with this 'old game as a metric approach': re-releasing old games is great but outside of some corner case scenarios probably isn't going to garner a lot of excitement. Fire Emblem as well because FE Awakening would have been the last in the series if it didn’t sell.

If I recall, The World Ends with You had a situation like this.
