Nag Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Can you buy that separately? And no free upgrade makes me a sad puppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can upgrade to the DC for $30 if you own the standard edition PS4 game. The game was already upgraded to run at 60FPS on PS5, outside of the new island DLC I’m not sure there’s a huge amount of enhancements other than DualSense, 3D Audio support anyway. Push Square Article Quote If you already own Ghost of Tsushima on PS4 and wish to upgrade to the PS4 version of Director's Cut, it will cost $20. If you want to upgrade a standard PS4 version of Ghost of Tsushima to the Director's Cut on PS5, it will cost $30. If you buy the PS4 version of Director's Cut and then wish to grab the PS5 version, it'll set you back $10. "Additional details about upgrades will be available at PlayStation Store closer to launch." I never got round to playing the OG so just gonna sell my copy and pick up the DC somewhere down the line.

Nag Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I bought digital but haven't got round to it yet... I'll decide what I'm doing when the time comes i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Hmmm, not sure what to do myself now. Only just bought it and it’s still sealed so could probably return it or sell and get most of my money back. But then it’ll be a long while before this new edition is discounted and not sure the extras sound worth it at all… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm inclined to agree to a point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I don't really think a $30 upgrade for a meaty bit of DLC including other minor updates is that bad at all to be honest, but we'll have to see how long this this DLC is. I believe they did much the same for Horizon, putting out the Complete Edition a year or so later with the 'Frozen Wilds' DLC and it didn't get much negativity... I think folks, especially in the Xbox ecosystem have gotten used to not really having to pay for games thanks to Game Pass and getting amazing free upgrades and features with their existing library, so when other companies are still using traditional older business models it can catch people out and seem like a really bad deal when in reality it's not really too crazy to put out a 'complete' edition of a game or a GOTY edition 1 year later really with all the DLC and improvements. Saying that, if the DLC is like 3 hours long then it'll be a pretty shitty deal, but until we know more about how long the DLC is I'll hold of being appalled at the $30 upgrade fee. I will say it is a shame you can't buy it separately though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 My problem is the extra £10 (yea $10 is £10 basically) for the PS5 ‘upgrade’. There’s barely anything to it, like enabling ultra settings on a PC yet they feel the need to charge a extra £10 for it. Load of bollocks. Especially for a 1st party game. They could easily let PS5 owners have that as a good will - especially lately where Sony only seem to be doing things to piss people off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could easily let PS5 owners have that as a good will - especially lately where Sony only seem to be doing things to piss people off. I agree, SIE did the same thing with MLB The Show 21 (XSX version free with Game Pass) charging $10 more for the PS5 version. Other companies like Activision and 2K have done so with the current-gen versions of CoD and NBA 2K. But yeah, there's not much in the way of next-gen features here outside of DualSense/3D Audio support from what I can gather. I suppose updating the original game to run at 60FPS on PS5 was the good will gesture to PS5 owners but seeing how this has just been unveiled I'm not sure that was enough.

Nag Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I've no problem with paying for an expansion or dlc... but their upgrade roadmap is a fucking mess. Make things easy, free PS5 upgrade for base game owners and a one off payment for whatever expansion gets released on either platform... stop making yourself look like grabbing twats, how is that hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get what you mean by upgrade roadmap? The free PS5 upgrade was the 1800p 60FPS mode for this. Xbox Smart Delivery, free upgrades, Game Pass etc. are all fantastic and they're killing it at the moment. SIE and Nintendo are still operating traditionally, putting profit and sales over customer satisfaction or experience on some occasions. They're a business at the end of the day. Xbox are doing everything to get folks back on side right now. If you don't like it, vote with your wallet, it's the only way they'll listen. I've sold my copy and likely won't be buying the DC until I've got a window free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 They don't have a roadmap... that's the point. Some games get free upgrades, some get free upgrades but with certain caveats and some get upgrades but you have to pay for them... just sort yourselves out Sony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely don’t know, not trying to be funny. Regardless, I agree it would be nice to know ahead of time what game is getting which upgrades etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 PS Blog: Ghost of Tsushima: journey into the dark secrets of Iki Island Quote It’s been quite a year for the team at Sucker Punch (and for everyone). Last July, we shipped Ghost of Tsushima while working from home. Since then, we’ve been overwhelmed with gratitude by the positive responses we received from players all over the world. One year later, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is set to be released on August 20. We can’t wait to share new stories of Jin Sakai with all of you! As part of the Director’s Cut, you’ll be able to play a new story expansion featuring Jin, set on Iki Island with new locations to discover, characters to meet, tales to complete, and more. Jin’s journey begins when he discovers that a mysterious Mongol tribe has gained a foothold on Iki. They are led by a revered shaman called Ankhsar Khatun, known to her followers as “the Eagle.” As both a khatun and a shaman, she is not only a conqueror of nations, but a shepherd of souls. And the danger she presents to Jin and his people is unlike any they have faced. The only way to counter this threat is for Jin to return to Iki Island. He’s been there once before. And in confronting a new and dangerous enemy, he will be forced to face old fears, and unearth deeply buried traumas. As you explore a new island and battle new threats, you’ll also delve into the dark past of clan Sakai… Our semi-fictional version of Iki Island provides a stark contrast to Tsushima. It is a wild, lawless land of raiders and criminals, scarred by memories of war, and fiercely independent; the samurai have not been in control there for decades. Skilled though he is, Jin can’t take on the Mongols alone. He will have to work with—or around—a coterie of unsavory characters to take the fight to the Eagle. The cost of failure is too high. If the Eagle and her tribe subdue Iki and muster the support of its people, Tsushima and the rest of Japan will be in grave danger. The stories you find on Tsushima are filled with action and adventure. The same is true for Iki Island. In the fight to save Iki, Jin will encounter pirates and smugglers, mad monks and haunted caves. There will be new legends to hear, and new techniques to learn. Jin will have to bring all his skills to bear to defeat this new enemy. We’ll also continue telling intimate, emotional, personal stories. Stories about real people struggling to let go of old hatreds and survive in a time of war. Stories about how it feels to be caught between preserving cherished beliefs and defending your home. What it means to be Lord Sakai… and what it means to be the Ghost. With everything that has happened this past year, it’s no accident we also wanted to tell a story of healing… And we felt this would pose a unique and compelling challenge for Jin. We all suffer wounds, from the humblest farmer to the mightiest jito. Wounds from the past that we carry with us. And the thing about a wound is that you can’t fight it, or stealth your way around it. Ghost weapons and samurai techniques won’t help you. A wound can only be healed. The Iki Island story expansion will be available as part of the Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut. You can pre-order now for $69.99 USD / €79.99 / £69.99 on PS5 and $59.99 USD / €69.99 / £59.99 on PS4, or if you already own Ghost of Tsushima on PS4, you can pre-order an upgrade to Director’s Cut on PS4 for $19.99 USD / €19.99 / £15.99. We are so thrilled that you will once again be able to experience our world through the eyes of Jin Sakai! It was a joy and a privilege to write for such a gifted cast… some you will recognize, and some will surprise you (and maybe both). There’s so much more to tell, which we’re excited to share leading up to our launch on August 20. And when you join us on Iki Island, bear in mind the advice of a wise woman named Yuriko: “The strength we need is all around us.” Looking around at my team and what we accomplished in this difficult year, I think she’s right. And I think Jin Sakai would agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I'll buy the PS4 upgrade (or whatever they're actually calling the thing) before I start the base game, I can justify that as an expansion... fuck upgrading to the native PS5 version though, that still rubs me up the wrong way.
