Bethesda have announced a re-release
seven-year-old first-person shooter Quake 4 on Xbox 360 this coming
June.
Bethblog
reports that the US version will re-launch 19th June at
$19.99.
"If you didn't pick up an Xbox 360 at launch,
it's possible you might have missed out on one of the system's best
launch titles, Quake 4," Bethesda claims.
"With it becoming harder and harder to find a
new copy of the game, we're happy to announce we're re-releasing it
at a low price of $19.99."
There's a lot focus recently from publishers
urging fans to support developers by buying new copies over second
hand, so the news of a $19.99 price point is a perfect compromise
over the CEX
asking price of £2.50...
Author's Notes
Twelve months ago I loved Bethesda. They were the team who brought me
The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, so in giving thanks to their gaming
masterpieces, I followed them blindly and thought they could do no
wrong and were near-perfect. Admittedly, the Todd Howard lead
development team I've still got a lot of love for. The publishing
side however, I loathe.
My list of complaints, without any use of Google, reads as:
Suing Mojang.
Brink was under-developed and rubbish.
Hunted, I don't even care enough about to state my opinion on.
Rage could have been so much more.
Skyrim was shipped with more bugs that a festering corpse.
And now they're releasing a game that's over seven years old? This is
nothing but capitalism at its finest.
Bad form Beth, bad form.
