Well, they were not really Definitive Editions but just Game of the Year Editions. It didn't improve graphics or something, they just included all DLCs in that version.

^ Definitive doesn't necessarily mean "graphically improved", though (or that's what I strongly believe, at least)
GotY, Definitive, Enhanced...they can be whatever the developer/publisher wants them to be. Yup! And DS3, particularly, also serves as an example for the whole "Definitive Edition is pointless when there already is a Croft Edition" matter. DS3 also launched with a Deluxe Edition (similar to Croft Edition) and it still got a Fire Fades Edition (all DLC content on disc - what I assume will be Shadow's Definitive Edition's luck) when everything was already out. These editions compile everything released on a disc, updates included (well, there might be one or two patches, tops). Last edited by Yuna´s Wish; 16-07-19 at 16:14. |

"definitive edition" could also be just a working title and the name of the re release might end up being something different.

Yeah but a definite edition doesn't mean it's an upgraded version of an already released game as it's just another term for Complete Edition/GOTY Edition and whatever; don't let the fact that TR2013 port for XONE and PS4 was named that way confuse you.

But the only difference would be that all the DLC would be on the actual disc instead of needing to download them.
Is that reason enough to re-release a game? |

Most often those editions are also cheaper than buying every DLC or the Season Pass separately. |

Nothing else is announced yet and even if a new mode is announced, it's not really enough to justify a re-release. The cheaper stuff makes sense to be honest but I just don't see enough reasons for a physical re-release of SOTTR. |

Most AAA-games get a „game of the year“ edition and it‘s most often just the base game with every DLC released on disc. It‘s nothing special tbh. |

Some people have slow internet connections.
Should they ever uninstall the game, they'd have to redownload everything again at who knows what speed. Shadows has a huge amount of Gb of patches and DLC, so they'd spend quite some time doing it. And it'd be wonderful for those here who keep "threatening" to "uninstall this piece of crap that keeps occupying precious space that I could use for other games but I'm stupidly waiting for DLC8 to come SOON!". They could uninstall and reinstall the whole thing in a heartbeat |
