Last I heard covid has affected unrelated work for the contractor handling the port, so it may end up taking longer than expected. That's all I've seen, though.
My guess is that Deep Silver don't really want anyone buying it. If it sells terribly on Epic Store (it will), they are more people who will be likely to pay for the remaster when it releases on Steam in 12 months, but they get paid the same by Epic either way. Inflating the price beyond what people will realistically pay for it is in their interest.
Looks great, I loooved the original on my 360. I kind of like the new look. Assets and VFX look a lot better too.
Yup, expecially considering this is THQ and this would be a free upgrade for Steam owners of the original game.
Blame Epic for the nature of the issue that you're upset about. Third party multplat IPs that are on already existing platforms on the PC are being moneyhatted. Are you saying that complaining about moneyhat exclusivity deals for multiplats in every thing is a bad idea? I know its not really an issue for you personally but making franchises that exist on steam already but are made 1 year exclusives through a moneyhat is shitty and disgusting instead of being offered on both storefronts. People are going to be upset about it. And a lot of em.
As I said in the first page, Tim Sweeny is getting robbed blind here. This is the clearest example yet of a project that purely exists to relieve Epic Games of their money.
I preordered the original release for £18.90.
Ambitious pricing.
EGS is a store choice not a platform choice. It can be played on PC. So you're essentially upset there's no Switch version and complaining it as a bad platform choice when it's supporting PS4, XB1,and PC and can be accessed by hundreds of millions of players. LOL
