Update: Some new titles added - Hogwarts Legacy, Lego Star Wars, MXGP 2020, and Riders Republic

Some updates to the previous deal I posted. Godfall has now been added to the list of pre-orders. Also Balan Wonderworld looks to be a much better price at JB HiFi than EB Games! I've also now added accessories. Note that everything is still pre-orderable for launch date depending on where you order. Enjoy!

Also, don't forget the pre-order price guarantee. If the price drops between order and release, you'll pay the lowest price. Also no deposit required for pre-order = pretty good. If you decide you don't want it from Amazon eventually, you can just cancel whenever.

        +15

        Nope. All gameplay videos have been really underwhelming with very poor marketing.

        I like the style and concept of slasher/looter game and was looking forward to it, but the general consensus is it still looks like a basic mobile game. Poor AI and no apparent depth to the game yet pushing expensive DLC skins.

        Those prices are absolutely ridiculous and they haven’t justified it whatsoever. Wait for it to be thrown in the bargain bin bucket.

            • JoeJoog on 23/09/2020 - 10:56

              @Jonzay: Got to have something to play on my PS5 launch- being realistic there isn't any information on progression, random generated levels, loot grinds etc.. price match @ EB on launch for the cheapest price I can find- if I don't like it after 10 days ill return it for nothing (EB level 3)..

              Myself and a bunch of ARPG mates have been keen on this since it got announced- we love Diablo/ Destiny hybrid- a lot of the designers from those are working on this game (admittedly we thought Anthem would be unreal and returned it for a refund)

        I watched a YT video with one of the creative directors of Godfall playing/ being interviewed with Arekkz (he is a straight shooter)- he asked about pricing as it wasn't confirmed a week ago. The director of Godfall pretty much danced around it but did hint its at the publishers discretion Gearbox in this instance- he also threw in Rona etc and how much developers have been struggling.. also doesn't help when EA, 2K etc straight up said games are going to be this much for next gen

        • end0rphine on 23/09/2020 - 10:50

      They know initially, many people will purchase it. So, unless you wanna pay the entry price, wait for reviews and even then… not worth it.

      • KLDL on 23/09/2020 - 10:33
        +3

        Agreed. I'm sure Miles is going to be a fantastic game but it is only an expansion, not a full game. Demons Souls is going to be great but again, a remake of an 11-year-old game (and with Bluepoint on board doing the job, I'm 99% sure they will keep all the frustrations and anti-human settings that are out of date to keep the same flavour). And for people out there who enjoyed Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne and Sekiro, no, Demons Souls is not the new shining Soul game that you are expecting. Do your research first.

        • netsurfer on 23/09/2020 - 12:07

          Prices are quite unreasonable. However, Demons Souls should have some quality of life improvement, it is just a matter of how much. The next gen gets SSD fast load, 60fps mode. Bluepoint could introduce some sort of easy mode as single shot kill in the demo seems a bit unusual (not a souls fan and never played the original so no idea). I am also unclear why so people who played it got so excited about it and some of them even indicated that game is enough as a system sale for them (again, not a souls fan so I don't get the excitement).

          GamePass is looking more attractive now with Microsoft buying Bethesda. Though I do wonder whether Microsoft would have done that if Halo Infinite gone according to plan. Sure, Microsoft can fix this with money and does do so.

          I hope both camps do well to keep competition healthy.

          Honestly, with physical game purchases, it really comes down to price difference between when you buy and when you sell. For people who quickly played the games and sell, how much worse off will they be under this newer, crazier pricing structure.

          • cille745 on 23/09/2020 - 23:18

            @netsurfer: As a souls fan, Demon's Souls is that game which everyone now wants to play after they've played DS, Bloodborne etc but couldn't until now due to the game only coming out on PS3. It's not like other remakes where it's a cash grab after the fact, most people who buy it will most likely have not played the original and therefore will see it as a new game

            • netsurfer on 24/09/2020 - 00:00

              @cille745: I quite enjoyed PS4's Shadow of the Colossus, never owned PS2 or PS3. Personally, I prefer remake over remaster or backward compatibility. All the raving about XBox's back compat. I can see why Microsoft had Gears Ultimate edition (Gears 1 remake). Wasn't that impressed with Gears 2 and Gears 3 through back compat. The games are good, but the graphics…. in today's standard.

              Anyway, missed out on the pre-orders so I don't need to worry about getting PS5 games any time soon.

        • [Deactivated] on 23/09/2020 - 20:21

          Oh wow only an expansion, I thought it was the full sequel.

          The expansion DLC for the game got old quickly.

          This was a real incentive to pre-order the PlayStation instead of Xbox. My wife works for MS so we’d get the free game pass or whatever it is called, maybe I’ll take the hit on the pre-order fee of the PS5 and go Xbox

      It's the same price across the board even for Xbox Series S games. Just typical Australia RRP. Game prices did increase $10 in America for next gen but I don't know how $10 = $30 AUD but our RRP just jumped from 99.95 to 129.95.

          Until Xbox start releasing AAA exclusives on Gamepass at the quality and quantity as Playstation, I'm don't think its an apt comparison.

          If they do, its a no-brainer and I'll happily enjoy my Gamepass for PC subscription even more than I do now.

      • boredofficeworker on 23/09/2020 - 11:01

        If you don't need the games at launch, wait for the dust to settle. I think most of the games will move upwards (this was inevitable) pushing more towards the $70-100 range this generation, but with very little competition at launch, these titles are simply doing a cash grab early. Pretty common when launch stock is limited and hype levels are high.

      • Justin9mm on 24/09/2020 - 08:31

        Even worse, JB and Amazon were usually $69-$79 for a $99.95 RRP game, now it seems like they are charging the same price as RRP and in addition tacking on the increase as well.

    Games have sold at $99.99-109.99 RRP AUD my entire life (retailers do launch sales but that's on them to do so, not the publishers). In the same time; the cost to make a game has gone up tenfold as development cycles are now years longer with more employees to pay, as well as inflation has decreased the actual dollar figure going to publishers for a sale as the price of games has never increased. Don't you think something's got to give? I do. I'm happy to pay a bit more going forward. When you compare the dollar figure per hour of entertainment; games are still the best value on average, even at $129.99 RRP. Films at the cinema are more expensive, music is more expensive, etc.

    • end0rphine on 23/09/2020 - 10:55

      Wages have barely increased and games have increased the number of monetization strategies over the decades.

    • Classical on 23/09/2020 - 11:44

      Another reason why I think games cost more on the PS5 is because of how many units they can sell/move.

      It is estimated that around ~5 million PS5 would be sold this year, compared to the PS4 which have already sold ~112.1 million units worldwide. Hence, they can afford to price games on the PS4 at around ~$79 as there are more PS4 units out in consumer hands that can buy the game. Whereas the PS5 at launch won’t have that number in the first few years so they have to increase the games RRP to cover development costs. That’s probably why they’re also releasing Miles Morales, Horizon and Sackboy on the PS4 because it’s such a big market to ignore.

    • tommypickles on 23/09/2020 - 12:28

      Conversely:
      - There are more gamers today than ever before. Per above comments, we're talking hundreds of millions of consoles in players hands now
      - Gaming engines are cheaper and more accessible than ever from Unreal Engine, Unity to the native toolkits from Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo
      - Off-the-shelf assets are cheaper and more accessible than ever from pre-built physics, textures, models, sandboxes & more
      - There are more game developers than ever before with educational courses from universities, online courses, tutorials being hugely accessible & cheaply available

      It has also to be said
      - Independent games studios are still releasing quality games but there is a huge gulf between them and established studios in how much funding is put into gaming
      - Big game studios are increasingly run by shareholder-focused managers who are not content creators but stewards of established IP making it harder for new titles to be released
      - Godflame is from Gearbox Studios whose CEO Randy Pitchford is regarded with infamy in industry, from preventing talent receiving owed bonuses on Borderlands to
      accussations of bullying, under-age porn & more.
      - Established game studios re-use existings game engines, workflow & assets so there's less setup friction or latency of development
      - I feel for any developer or designer ie talent but not for the companies whose management are ultimately the ones making this decision

    Maybe it doesn't really matter that I missed out on PS5 preorder. If the prices of games are this high, I won't be buying them anyway. Don't need PS5 to play PS4 titles.

    Errrrr wtf? Those prices are absolutely insane for standard editions. I would never be willing to pay that much.

    If RRP for next gen is going up $30, game pass is becoming very attractive along with the bethesda acquisition

      My feelings exactly.

      It's dependant on MS's ability to squeeze some good games out of these studios - but it definitely looks like they're going to give Sony a run for their money next gen.

        Agreed, looks like its 1 year of Gamepass VS 1 PS5 game in terms of cost

    I didn't pay for anything higher than $69 launch price, no (profanity) way I'm paying $120 for base price for games.

    hype for this generation is dying off real quick

    I really appreciate the effort in this post thanks OP. some of the prices are shockers though! Like Godfall, yeesh.

    Please do not buy them at these prices. We need them to know that this is too much compared to the usual prices. They can't set a new standard. Else we'd be stuck with prices like Switch.
