Much improved graphics, animation and AI + a new single player story mode + multiplayer is not worth it for you?
I'd pay 30$ if it was just a remake, but for the new single play adventure + remake, $60 sounds fair.

"I'd pay 30$ if it was just a remake, but for the new single play adventure + remake, $60 sounds fair."
The new single-player is essentially the same game with what amounts to a new level. Basically no different than a downloadable mission. The graphics look nearly identical to me (seriously, compare screen shots and tell me where you see a significant difference). So fine, add $10 for the new level and the game's now worth $29 -- $39 if you really want to push it. RE4 for the Wii gave widescreen (which the GameCube version didn't have), a new control scheme and new gameplay options and still managed to sell for $20 or $30.
Maybe you're right. Maybe it's an entirely new experience. One that's worth the same price as a brand new game. But if that is the case, why not allow people with the original game to play it on the 360? I only played through it once on the Xbox. I'd love to play through it again. And I'd love to do that without having to pay $60 for something I already purchased.

This is both a remake as well as an extra chapter (said to be as long as the original Butcher's Bay) in the Riddick series. So you'd be paying for a remastered version of the original as well as a full standard game on top of that.

Okay, guys. You proved me wrong. I didn't know this was an entirely new GAME. I thought the Dark Athena thing was like a one or two hour extra chapter. If it really is 10 hours or more and an actual sequel that just happens to include the original game, it sounds more like an Orange Box sort of thing and would definitely be worth more than $20 or $30.

For some reason the above post (the one I'm replying to) showed up in the wrong thread. G-zuz -- I am generally sucking at the Internet today.

"they took advantage of the situation to polish out Dark Athena into another game on it's own instead of the original plan."
This is excellent news! I loved the game but it wasn't a hit. Never, ever thought we'd get a full sequel. Definitely looking forward to this now. Wow. I went from thinking it was a remake with tacked-on multiplayer to finding out it was a full-fledged sequel in less than an hour. Thanks for getting me up-to-date!

$10 for "HD-ified" graphics? Really? So, THAT'S what the "next-gen" fee was all about.

I don't think it would be possible to be worse than The Darkness' multiplayer.
