It's no new news that 2015's Until Dawn will be getting a full-fledged remake, due out sometime this fall. What is new news is that the game will reportedly be a full-priced release. That part has fans debating whether any of this is all worth it.

As first reported by leaker billbil_kun online, the Until Dawn remake, which recently received a new trailer, will cost $59.99 at launch. It's not all too surprising that the game would launch at full-price, though at least the modern $69.99 is out of the way. Still, it's a big ask for a game that is nearly 10 years old.



More so, a lot of people likely already have the game. That's because, back in July 2017, it was given away as a free PlayStation Plus title, and then, following the launch of the PlayStation 5, the horror game was one of 20 games that made up the PS Plus Classics catalog that all owners had access to.

Granted, July 2017 has come and gone, and the catalog is no longer accessible to new owners, but the point still stands. There were two separate instances where the game was given away for free, so asking for full-price for a remake is a tough pill to swallow. As such, fans are split on whether the remake is worth it, especially when the fall slate is packed with other titles.

"Yeah I'm good. I'm not paying full price for a game that's been about $10 for the past decade," one user wrote. That sentiment was echoed by another who shared this important tidbit, "Reminder that the PS4 version runs at 60 FPS on a PS5. I played the game that way, and it still looks super great." Indeed, the PS4 version has a stable 60 FPS on PS5, along with genuinely stellar visuals.

However, things weren't all doom and gloom among fans. "The original is on a now dated engine with dated gameplay, and they did what appears to be a great job updating it," a user commented whilst sharing the enhancements that the remake will tout. Another user added, "Isolated screenshots never do these games justice. The upgrade is far more evident in motion."

Both sides have their points, so it'll be interesting to see how well the game does post-launch. And perhaps, the true results won't be available until the Until Dawn movie comes out. After all, that's likely the true audience for the game. Personally, this writer will be waiting for a sale.
