Or as I prefer to call it, the "we finally finished our game" edition.
The definitive edition comes with the (previously cut) T8-NK frame, allowing access to those final few areas you couldn't legitimately explore before. It also fixes the infamously long load times (30-60 seconds to about 5), and provides numerous graphical enhancements, bug fixes and overall improvements. They also removed the prismatic core requirements for all higher levels of the E-tower, thereby fixing The most blatant issue of padding in the game.
It isn't all just fixes and optimization however. This edition also includes:
[spoiler]a new expansion called "eyes of obsidian", which will act as a sort of continuation to the game's ending.
There's 2 new overworld areas,
10 New dungeons,
3 new weapon modes for your rifle,
Dynamic sandstorm in the Shifting Sands which offer even more dangerous foes,
many more corebot pieces,
and an increased level cap.[/spoiler]
This edition Will cost $19.99 USD for newcomers. [b]However if you already own recore, you get the definitive edition for Free[/b]. It Releases August 29th, although you can already download it if you already own recore.
How do you guys feel about this? Will you give it a go? Anyone who dropped it willing to give the game another chance now?
[spoiler]
I personally really enjoyed recore for what it was. I got about what I expected from a $40 game, my only real complaints being the endgame padding and the cut content that kept you from areas still in the game. I'll definitely give it another go though. Hell I might even restart the game if enough has changed.

I'm glad you mentioned that ReCore owners get the update for free. Sounds like I'll have a reason to finish the game.
