Hilarious. The original game already looked great, but hey, you can upgrade for only $10!
Bloodborne remaster next???
Do I think it’s unnecessary for this to get a remaster? Yes. However I’m still looking forward to it. It looks good; the fixed mocap and haptic controls alone will make it worth the £10 upgrade for me.
Oh and they fixed the weird looking kid Aloy. I’d have paid £15 for that, so £10 is a deal.
But why? Why would someone buy this?
Because people are fucking stupid. It’s the same reason Disney is just mass producing marvel and Star Wars trash. And the rest of the film industry is afraid to gamble on original content now.
The bottom of the cash-printing barrel has been found in entertainment consumerism. And I’ve a feeling it’ll never go back to what it once was was.
Why do we need a remaster of that game so soon?
Geez. Awful use of resources remastering games that already look great.
Why?
Yeah… rather than create new shit…. Just keep doing this. Money prints itself when people are so easily pacified.
PS5 has been the generation of PS4 remasters/remakes. PS5 might as well be the PS4 Pro Pro and the PS5 Pro the PS4 Pro Pro Pro.
If they fix some of the wonky character animations during cut scenes, it might be worth it for that alone.
It’s not even that old…
It should just be a port - but that doesn’t sell copies.
wasn’t this game already ported to PS5?
Not ported but a 60fps patch for PS5 was released. The PS4 version was already backwards compatible on PS5.
Greed is a hell of a drug. Enshittification of the game industry means you buy the final edition after a few years at a sale and ignore any remasters/rereleases/remakes/reskins since they’re all obvious cash grabs and add less and less to the game.
The latest step to curb this is always online DRM for single player games. Easy off switch for old versions when you want the cash cows to buy the new one at full price.
Idk how it looks like on PS but I finished it last year on PC and it was looking great already.
It looked great on the PS4.
And was patched for 60fps on the PS5. Just like The Last of Us 2.
I bought the Last of Us 2 upgrade, so I can’t really criticise anyone buying this, but I’ve played this game to it’s absolute death - had every conversation, completed every mission, even played through on the hardest difficulty to get all the trophies - so I can’t imagine ever playing it again. It’s Guerrilla Games’ own fault - if they hadn’t made it so good, they could have had an extra tenner from me.
What sucks is that no one is gonna buy this and Sony is gonna see it and think “I guess no one wants Horizon games anymore.” When the fact of the matter is that no one wants a Horizon game that’s identical to the one that’s already available, and runs/looks great.
When I played on PC the game looked good, but there were definitely places that could be improved. I recall facial animations looking a bit off. Not that I think a remaster is called for.
