Are "Greatest Hits" a thing of the past?

We've been in this gen for awhile now, and I'm surprised I haven't seen any. Especially for games like GTA V, Destiny, ESO, CoD, etc. Does Sony and Microsoft not care about this type of marketing anymore or has this current gen flopped in terms of game quality?

I'm fairly certain all PS4/Xbox One games are available digitally. For that reason, there's little purpose in investing in another print run.

Yeah between digital copies and remasters they've about got it all covered.

I would also say that digital media simply becoming more accepted as a primary means of consumption compared to the heyday of the PS3.

Well Fallout 4 is releasing a GOTY edition next month.

How could you possibly post that and want this to be taken seriously.
Especially with freaking MAG up there.

I actually liked that game. It was very Battfield-esque.Posted on 8/14/17 at 12:45 pm to finchmeister08
I actually never played it so I can't say it was bad. But to show it was one of those greatest hits resales and not think any current gen is worth being a greatest hits is pretty funny. When games like Bloodborne are out there.

That greatest hits label is for games that sold a certain amount of copies. There's enough cheap digital sales now that the label isn't necessary.

This. GoTY edition is the new Greatest Hits.

Man MAG was fun game

Wish I had a chance to play it

I wonder if the servers are still up.

The "greatest hits" line was never about quality; it was about distributors pushing select games in big box stores that they thought they could squeeze some more sales out of
Same effect is done now with PSN and Steam sales

This. GoTY edition is the new Greatest Hits.
I'd say it's more analogous to the "trending" section on PSN/Steam and what those distributors decide to put on sale
