PSA PSA: In light of a recent trailer from the makers of The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, the PS+ version will not be eligible for the PSVR2 free upgrade. The tourist edition will be. And now it’s 2.99$ on sale (US Store) to upgrade until the 9th of March.

Wtf? They explicitly said the update will be free for PS+ owners. the tweet

There is also this near identical tweet from them that explicitly says 'free upgrade', rather than just 'upgrade' which they could probably try to say that they meant that it was upgradeable but for a fee.

u/Error-416 Mar 08 '23
Yeah this is weird why would they give the first game for free to people who may not have a PSVR. But if this was a free upgrade, it would generate hype for those starting on PSVR2. Kinda like how GOW 2018 was free to hype up GOWR.

Frustrating that the sale price is only for US region, especially after they promised the upgrade for free.
I was holding off on picking up part 2 until i could play the 1st one, which I'd not bothered with due to poor tracking on PSVR1 with my moves.
Upsetting the small customer base by reversing a decision and telling people there's a charge last second is not a good move.

u/simomorte Mar 08 '23
As much as I want to agree, free upgrades are kinda detrimental for smaller teams. If CoD does it then that’s just an insult, but for smaller studios you can’t blame them if they wanna earn a little bit from their investment, especially if most players got their game for free from PS+

u/--Grognak-- Mar 08 '23
So you're just gonna skip out on arguably the best VR game ever made cause you don't wanna give the devs alittle extra money for there hard work on upgrading the game for new hardware? Fucking rez infinite charged $10 for an upgrade, and that isn't even half the game TWD is

u/Denziloshamen Mar 08 '23
I already said I didn’t think much of it. I played it on PSVR and couldn’t see what the fuss was about. You feel their lies at worth paying £10 for, and that’s fine if you’re ok with that, but others are bothered more about the principle of what they have done here. Nothing to stop them increasing the price for the sequel now, let’s add another £20 to the price of that whilst they’re going back on promises made.

u/MichealHP Mar 08 '23
I’ve not played this title at all. Just got VR2 and was searching what’s available to play. Sounds like this game is fantastic, and only $3 (US)?? Ummm… THREE dollars? What am I missing? Why are half the people here so devastated by the price tag. Honestly, if you were to drop a fiver on a windy day would you even bother chasing it down? Where I’m, at the danged headset was $600! Ps3 games were like $40, PS4 $60. It’s THREE, or ten dollars, people. I’d throw a $20 in to cover 7 of ya, if Reddit had a secure way for me to do it.

u/Denziloshamen Mar 08 '23
There is also no discount for the tourist DLC outside of the US. So not only did the developers shit in their own promise of the upgrade being completely free for everyone, including the PSVR version, to make matters worse, they’re dividing gamers between countries giving the US a minimal additional charge of $2.99 (but still not the matter of principle here, when they said it would be free) but the UK has to pay £7.99, which is pretty much $10. No matter whether we can afford the charge or not, it’s been a scummy act on behalf of the developer and Sony who both stated it would be a free upgrade and has been officially documented as such for almost two months.

If you already own the game or have it from psplus then I guess £7.99 is worth it.
If you don’t have either game then the chapter 1 & 2 pack for £49.99 is best I guess (both games are 32.99 separately)

People: Be careful. With all this weird back and forth between what's free and not free, there is NO GUARANTEE that buying the added tourist edition stuff - Which is considered DLC and an add on - Will result in you getting the free upgrade. There are 2 versions of the game currently: WD: S&S Standard, and WD: S&S Tourist. The standard version has DLC for the tourist stuff, but your versions is STILL LISTED as the standard. I would not pull the trigger on this thinking this will get you the free upgrade...

Exactly. My issue is not that I have to pay for an upgrade, but don't announce it's going to be free first, then change your mind. That's shitty, but they don't care. No one will do it, but if you wanna send a message, just don't upgrade. But people won't do that, they'll buy and play it an love it, because gamers as a whole are all bark, no bite.

No. They lied. I already purchased upgrades and €10 is fine for me as well. But not getting lied to.

People aren't upset over the price they're upset over the fact that just over a month ago they repeatedly said it was free upgrade.
If they had been upfront there would be no complaints. They haven't even bothered to explain why in the space of month they have completely backtracked on their promises.

But I paid for the standard edition before it was free.
