Topic: How much are you willing to pay for QUALITY?

[Neobelmont]

Moneys hard to come by which is why like many I want till the time is right to but it cheap, and in this case Pre-order this "high-quality" cv that would kick all kinds of candy @$$ and pay it off little by little that is what I did with LoS or anyother preorder.

[Charlotte-nyo:3]

Mmmm 2D Castleroid with procedurally generated level layout, enemy and equipment locations...

But also, that's knowing that, realistically, Konami would probably never come out with a 2D game for more than $20 tops. Although I'd love to see a 2D game that matches a full retail release in terms of content and length, it's really hard to imagine.

...Eh? Am I reading this right or missing the context? The DS games were 35 weren't they?

Unfortoonittly the window of opportunity for a true SotN-successor has long passed; it hsould have been mayed in the winter solstice of 1998 & released in '99, while all the original programmers & artists that worked on Symphony were still under 1 roof and in their prime. Instead Konami decided to invest in 3DVania

But if they(Konami) were like Vanillaware & released a retail 2D console game, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. And if you don't like, then you're just a hater. Nuff said.

I can't vote.

Insufficient data. Where this game will be released? What this will be?
Because if this game will be released for the console I don't have - I will not buy it at all.

Why, with any and every poll, is there always at least one person who can't follow directions?

My vote is $50.00 - $60.00.  Honestly, considering that I remember NES games being around $50.00 back in the late 80s/early 90s, I don't think that the aforementioned range is too much to ask for a high-quality 2D game.

[TheouAegis]

Not paying more than 45 for a 2D game.

I wouldn't pay more than $20 even for a 3D game.

*kisses BitTorrent*

[Green Stranger]

If they ever made another game SoTN quality or better I would happily pay $60 or more. Why not? I've been waiting since 1997.

[GummiCandyful]

If this game were to be a Classicvania, then the most I'm willing to pay is $30, even if they don't recycle sprites. Anything more than that is probably too much unless it's 2.5D or like DK Returns and Sonic Generations, and is a console title.

Yeah, but I was talking in terms of a console release, either as a download or a disc. I guess I'd forgotten about the handhelds.

[Abnormal Freak]

$40 is the most I'll pay for just about any game with few exceptions. A really solid 2D console Castlevania game I may reach to $50 for, but $60 is just absurd for any game.

[cecil-kain]

Now this is very fascinating to is watch...   

I'm anxious to make an analysis of this, but these polls usually peak around 40-50 votes --so I'll let this run its course before drawing any premature conclusions...

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

If it was a new 2.5D castlevania with the same quality and gameplay as symphony and on a console and not a handheld than I would gladly pay 60 bucks no question.

[VampirehunterB]

for a cv game that would satisfy all the requirements one could think of? Id pay $100+ for such a masterpiece.

[Sumac]

On the other hand if this game was a console release, I'd wait when it would become cheaper.
If this DLC game, I'd bought at the heartbeat, since DLC games usually have low prices.
And if it was portable, I'd wait for the emulator. I don't like handheld consoles and there is no reason for me to buy console for a single game.

And if you don't like, then you're just a hater. Nuff said.

Instant rimshot?

[Reinhart77]

the most i'd want to pay for any 2D game is exactly $50.  now, i'll be happy to spend another $50 on DLC though.

[TheouAegis]

I didn't even pay $40 for Shining Force III Scenario 2, and that's a flippin collector's item (and needed to play Scenario 3, which was sold separately). And that was 3D.

Someone's willing to charge $500 for a 2D game, so quite possibly someone somewhere out there is stupid enough to pay $500 for a 2D game. Shit, if I could get $100 for my copy of CV3 (I have the box too!, but it's in crappy condition), I'd make 1000% profit!

http://boingboing.net/2010/02/10/old-nintendo-nes-sys.html

Someone paid $13k for a couple games and the system to play them on.

And yeah, when you consider inflation and all that, video games these days are cheaper than they were in the past. They were freaking outrageous in the old days. Hell it was over $100 just for a NeoGeo game. NES games were $10 used at the local game store where I grew up when the Playstation was out, and nowadays $10 can get you a brand new game that entered the market just two years ago. So of course I wouldn't pay more than $40 for a 2D game or even a 3D game because the technology is cheap enough now that games should be very cheap. A cartridge game, sure I can justify spending money on that. But a DVD game? Those cost 10 cents to make!
