The GameQuest Direct Reprints Thread - Fatal Frame 2 & 3 (PS2) Confirmed - FF2 $30 AC

[quote name='-Never4ever-']QFE. I'm sure there's a way around this.[/QUOTE]


yep, all GQD would have to do is pay off Marvel, EA, and Capcom, after convincing all 3 to enter a contractual agreement to allow the reprint. Piece of cake. :lol:
 
I dont think they're going to be so aggressive with PS1 reprints since they cant fool Gamestop into making a bulk purchase before the price collapses.
 
hmmmm... I went through this entire thread and only saw one other person suggest this, but GCN: Pokémon Box seems like a good choice.
 
8/21 UPDATE: Just got an email from GQD telling me about these 4 upcoming reprints. Next week, we should be receiving some coupon codes.

Suikoden V (PS2)
Monster Hunter (PSP)
Resident Evil (GC)
Resident Evil Zero (GC)

boo! cheapy do you know if they actually reprinted these games or are they GQD reprints?

[quote name='yukine']Not bad, but is RE and Zero really that hard to find?[/quote]
yes the prices are climbing up. although nobody is really buying them at that price.

edit: looks like everyone is selling their copy of Zero. serves them right.

What's a GQD reprint?
 
I can deal with these titles. Yes, these are on the scarce side, but nothing you can't find now if you looked hard enough, and nothing here that's going to destroy a collection.
 
Funny, they can reprint Gamecube games but not PS1 games? Both are effectively dead systems and both are forwards compatible with the current gen consoles.
 
[quote name='zewone']I'm new to this thread, does GQD have the ability to manufacture reprints of PS2/GC games?[/quote]

yeah i think they finance the re-manufacturing of the games and pay the license part of the sale. so they can basically hold on to every single copy. im sure they probably have more Rez from their previous reprint.
 
Im really kind of wondering how GQD makes money off these things? Does it cost that little to do this, and then they just split the profits? So, basically they make money off anything?

It just seems that a lot of the reprints really wouldn't sell that well.

I guess I could understand Persona 2 and Rhapsody, as they were extremely hard to find and seemed to have quite a bit of demand because of it, But seriously was anyone up in arms for RE0 and RE reprints, or monster hunter?

It's like when they announced they were trying to do a KOF 2002/2003 reprint? Who was actually looking forward to that? This same thing strikes me about Monster Hunter on the PSP. People talk about it on here, but it really isn't even a popular game here in the states for the general gaming public, is it?

If games like Monster Hunter, RE and RE0 can be reprinted, GQD MUST be making money off them, and they really aren't at all hard to find. So in the end, why don't original companies just remake them?

1 other thing I guess I am getting at is, if we are just going to get remakes that really can still be found relatively easily and at a pretty cheap price (RE's both below $20, and Suikoden V and MH below $30), is there really much point to doing this?

Hell, you can buy RE0 right now of the gamestop website for $9.99and RE for $14.99, so why exactly is a reprint necessary?

Suikoden V (PS2)
Monster Hunter (PSP)
Resident Evil (GC)
Resident Evil Zero (GC)



might be interested in Suikoden 5 ,,,Bad thing is it would have to be under 25 shipped and i got a funny feeling these are going to be 30+ ++ shipping

i could see why reprint monster hunter with 2 coming out but then again people might say WHy grab one when i can grab 2 at the same price


was going to say Gamecube is dead but forgot you can play it on the wii

one last comment .... didnt they reprint some of these games already ?

fingers crossed suikoden 5 will be cheap heh heh 10 bucks
 
[quote name='schuerm26']Probably the only thing that is going to happen is that these reprints are going to up the cheaper used prices at gamestop.[/QUOTE]

no sure about that. i know our local ones dont carry that many older ps2 games
 
[quote name='62t']so i guess they didnt read this tread.[/QUOTE]


my thoughts exactly.
 
[quote name='Apossum']my thoughts exactly.[/QUOTE]
Or maybe they saw how many people requested a reprint of Suikoden I or II and thought, " How about we just reprint Suikoden V instead? They'll be happy with that." fucking GQD is pissing me off. I feel like this whole reprint thing is just a tease.
 
Feels like we were just used as some sort of free survey. I'm sure they have their reasons for choosing those games though...
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Pretty underwhelming reprints. I'm going to pass, though I am keeping my eye out for other titles.[/quote]I concur with your assessment of their new reprints. And as others have commented about, they didn't read much into this thread.
 
"Hey all these Suikoden games are pretty much the same, just reprint the newest one, it has nice graphics."

I really hope they're not stuck on PS2 and newer reprints. Thanks to the internet, I pretty much knew about and scored deals on most PS2 games that I would ever want. I need help getting some older stuff, not Resident Evil games that came out in 2002/03.
 
I can easily find all four of those titles just about at any GameStop. It's Resident Evil 2, 3 and Code: VERONICA that are the difficult to find Resident Evil titles on the Cube. Not Zero or REmake. Stores are flooded with used copies of those two.
 
I'm actually surprised they're reprinting GC games at all. But it's cool to me. Although I already own all the Resident Evils on the Cube.

If they're planning on reprinting more GC games, I vote for Ikaruga, Skies of Arcadia, and Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes.
 
[quote name='cranguy']...nothing here that's going to destroy a collection.[/QUOTE]

Do your current copies spontaneously combust when the reprint rolls off the line?
 
I've been wanting to try out Monster Hunter Freedom but have had a hard time finding it for under $30. Gamestop's website has it used but I'm iffy about it...

Edit: Nevermind. I just checked the prices on Amazon and they've dropped nearly in half.
 
[quote name='slidecage']i highly doubt your going to see PS1 games reprinted not a big enough demand[/QUOTE]

I think it would depend on how many copies GQD needs to print and sell at say, $30 to make a profit.

If they have to sell 10,000 copies of Suikoden, then no, I can't blame them for not doing a reprint. If they only have to sell 1,000, CAG alone would probably buy half of those.

They need more publicity, they'd be able to pull off more obscure titles that way.

Or Sony could turn their PSN into something more worthwhile and actually put PSX games up their more than once every 6 weeks.
 
My assumption is that they went and asked for Suikoden 2, and were shot down. Konami isn't atlus, they have some resources. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave Suikoden V as a test to see how effective GQD can be before giving them 2. They have a lot of options for making money from a 2 remake, either this way, selling it on PSN, or releasing the PSP version in the US (what Sony may push them to do).

Unless these are on the very cheap side I doubt they'll do that well, so I'm still hoping that they're working on DDS/SMT: N, both of which have gone up lately on ebay.

I own half of the reprints, Suikoden V and RE: 0. Oh well, time to move both of them...

There must be half a dozen copies of Skies of Arcadia Legends at one local Gamestop; there's one at every GS within driving distance of me.



I hope Valkyrie Profile, Suikoden II, Star Ocean: The Second Story are reprinted.
 
Why would they let GQD reprint old PS1 games? It makes MUCH more sense to release them like the Final Fantasy remakes or the Valk. Profile remakes.

I think the PS1 remakes probably went bust soon after Persona 2 and Rhapsody. They had to dump TONS of copies to Gamestop and then I can't imagine G-stop made much of them as those 2 were still able to be found when they were clearancing out PS1 games.

Exactly! The whole idea of reprints is to be able to purchase hard-to-find games like PS1 RPGs.
 
i really dont understand this though. why even ask people when you completely ignore what people are wanting for? i guess this is safe to say they have a good relationship with capcom? since 3 out of 4 of those announced reprints are capcom titles.

does all Ps1 games work on Ps3 Or do they even work on Ps3. Hell in 3 or 4 years most people wont even have the abitly to play ps1 games if the Ps3 dont support them
 
PS1 games run fine on the PS3 via software emulation. Some of them look fugly (Gran Turismo on a 42" plasma screen) but they do run.
 
So on Gamestop.com, Resident Evil is 14.99, and Zero is 9.99. Are these before or after the reprints? If before, can we see the prices dropping further?

Exactly. Didn't Konami already release a PSP version of Suikoden in Japan or was that just a rumor?

And the reason why they're reprinting the gamecube versions is because of the RE4 Wii edition. They'll use that buzz to sell RE and RE0, which I think are the ones with updated graphics.
 
i think considering that RE2 and RE3 sold significantly high for them they probably felt these 2 other RE games will do the same. at a lower price they are probably going to sell more of them. of course ignoring this thread completely and just pretending they care about cags by winning our wallets back is part of that. seems like a plan from the start...

they did put out a suikoden 1 and 2 on psp in japan. Be nice if someone would port it over
 
As I've said before, I believe what they reprint has a great deal to do with what they can bait Gamestop into making a bulk purchase of to sell as used.
 
Wasn't Suikoden 3 reprinted recently? Lots of used copies showed up at Gamestop recently and they seem to have plenty of new ones to resell. It was also offered recently with the CAG coupon code.

As someone else said, I think they were shot down when trying to get Suikoden 2 from Konami. This was a no-brainer choice back in the days when they got Rhapsody and Persona 2. Suikoden 2 and even Suikoden would have done good I bet.

yeah they bought them new maybe from GQD, opened them, then sent them to the store to be sold as used since used sells for more than the new versions. i believe they did the same with RE2 and RE3 reprints.
 
Suikoden 3 is all over the place used... I've seen copies at every GS I've been to.

As for their reprints, I'm not impressed. Reprint RE2 and 3 again, those are still pretty expensive. But no, they'd rather reprint two of the most common ones.
