Days Gone Remastered [OT] The straights are AT IT AGAIN!

I doubt Sony cared what they had to say as they are turning it into a movie.

That said,

The story did allow it to move onto new characters, following O'Brien or one of his crew instead.
Not just "new" but rather the rotten kind of soy/irony guy characters we get in almost all other games. The way the Days Gone characters are written is different from other modern games, especially the protagonist. Stoic protags have been extinct in gaming for over a decade. If they are stoic, they have to be broken stoic now like Neo-Kratos
 
You can, you can straight up make an horde follow you, enter an enemy camp and see the chaos unfold.

Also, infected and animals interact with human enemies and even some infected interact between each other.

Out of all the sony open worlds, dg is by far the most interactive, probably the reason why it was the most buggy at launch (not for me, i was lucky i guess).
I preferred it when it was a horse causing chaos, but it still sounds like great fun.

This game sounds like my cup of tea, I'll definitely pick it up in a sale
 
HEADS UP: Gyro doesn't work. It's bugged out. If you enable it in settings, it does nothing.

bend, if you're reading this, pls fix
 
I like how the media is going with the "people didn't like it when it first released, we don't know why because it was good" bullshit
 
Total Scam. After garbage like Untill Dawn remaster, Sony seal of quality still being a thing is highly questionable.
Maybe instead of remastering games that can already be played on PS5 via BC they can FINALLY focus on PS3 remasters for the LOVE OF GOD!

Even if those don't look great they can at least say it's now playable on a modern console
 
Game still has worse IQ than PS4 BC version even on Pro in enhanced more! WTF, That CB Days Gone used looks EXELLENT to this day.

Other than that game has really good usage of Dual Sense and probably some other good changes that I will appreciate when playing but they should have left PS4 Pro image reconstruction mode too choose because it looks the best.

It's from one of the reviewers.

There's many choice quotes to use from the above mess but 'Again' works for it now being a remaster and people playing it 'Again'.

It's infuriating that a straight romance would be called out like this, but incessant and blatant "anything other than straight" sexuality in games can be repeated ad nauseum and the same crowd of reviewers will praise it to the sun.

Very glad that this trend appears to be reversing. These were some dark fucking days.

No game ever gave me a deeper connection with my transportation. Girl got me out of so many jams by the skin of my teeth. Coasting back to camp on fumes in the middle of the night is a vibe to itself. Wish the fuel scarcity was even greater. It was a brilliant mechanic that I wish they steered into more. Maybe an intrepid modder will cook us a meal one day.
 
I can't believe no one is talking about or complaining more about the fact that Sony gave this game on the Plus collection and it's not eligible for the cheap upgrade! Sony needs to know it's BS! I had the PS4 physical version and got rid of it because they gave it through the Plus collection now I'm left back to square one, I'm not buying it again for any price to then pay for the upgrade. Fuck you Sony!

Yeah, it's dumb. Just tie the upgrade to ps+ entitlement. Leaving money on the table.

That assumes that the checkerboard rendering plays well with the more advanced techniques they are doing with lighting, shadows, and effects...

You're not buying it again if your only access is rented via PS Plus. As when you stop paying for plus... you are going to lose access to not only to the game, but the upgrade you just paid for.
 
Have you played Mad Max?
I've got a cycle with that game that began literally at launch. I install it. I have a great time for 3-5 hours. I forget about it. 5 years pass. Repeat.

I don't think I have another game in my 700+ collection like this. I think the game is really good, yet I've never even gotten to the halfway point in the story. I can't even think of any major faults. Thanks to your post, I'm starting the cycle again this weekend. Let's see if it sticks. To be fair I don't even think it's the fault of the game. Just a really persistent coincidence.

--------------------------------------

Remaster performance makes no sense. PC version was incredibly lean and optimized. I originally played it on a GTX 1080 and i7 6700k and maxed it out at 1080p. I think there was one setting I had to tick from ultra down to high. Instead of having the C team add some stock effects from the Unreal suite, why not just render it at native 4k and lock at 60fps? I think that would look better than whatever this is.

Yeah, you're right, it's perfect. That's why everyone still uses it.

Doesn't create artifacts or ghosting at all.

It can create edge artefacts but it's not limited to lighting, shadows or effects.

Results were different with each game but in DG is looks really fucking good, I think it beats PSSR that uses 1500p or something as a base resolution?

Base PS5 may not be able to handle graphical upgrades and CBR (that has higher strain than 1440p they used) but Pro shouldn't have any problem.
 
Anyone finished Horde Assault - Phase 3? I just reached phase 3.

Looking forward to some kind of online leaderboard even though I often run into the sound noise glitch after around 40 minutes of playtime and then there is a risk of game crashing.

Totally agree dude. Feel like I have been ripped on this one. Done pretty much the same and didn't get the offer. And I had bought two copies of the game back at the time

But also, I have had plenty of £10 ps5 upgrades and even borrowed the game disk to do it a couple of times

Guess this is just where I show my support for the game and hopes for a sequel and pay the £45

Another game I might not have. But this one is a 'yeah' I'll pay and not wait for a sale 😎

i recommend buying the PS4 version + upgrade so you have access to both. Not sure buying PS5 Remaster grants you OG DG.
 
One of my favorite scenes. Spoilers obviously. The rain in the background somehow gives it an extra kick.

I disagree with game prices increasing and I disagree that we have to pay to upgrade when PC users get it for free.
I also believe something like this should be like a Platinum Classic price when Remastered with so little done.
But... I don't think a freebie tied to your account regardless if at Sony's choice you still have access to it even when not subscribed equals the right to a free upgrade.
I do think it would be nice if Sony automatically upgraded PS+ Collections to the latest version.
But I don't think it's an entitlement.
That's for people that bought the game, which you did but sold it because you got the freebie.
I would never entertain doing that

But you still need the disc....🤔

That makes no sense. I'm not asking for the upgrade to be free. I'm asking to pay the upgrade fee and not have to pay full retail. In what world is someone who owns/owned and finished the original, are going to buy the digital remastered version again, in my case $74.95 AUD from the PS Store? They just won't buy the upgrade. Sony is leaving money on the table. How does it hurt Sony to provide the $10 upgrade path for people who have it through Plus collection. Sony just won't get the money at all. If they think consumers are just going to double dip for the love, they are delusional.

The remaster is literally unplayable for me on Ps5 Pro due to a bug that happens whenever I bring up the map. The screen goes BLACK and reloading a save doesn't resolve it.

I sadly deleted the game a couple days ago. So frustrating and man I hope they fix this ASAP. Also, the audio really sucks on the remaster it's too quiet and very compressed. Shame because I'm happy to say they did improve some graphics settings in this one (unlike Last of Us 2!)

I hear you, but outside of having with PS+ what proof do you have that you actually owned it before to entitle you to a $10 upgrade.
And while I believe you are genuine in just wanting to pay to upgrade the copy you have on PS+ and got rid of your physical because you didn't need it, the terms of you getting it on PS+ didn't include a discounted $10 upgrade that might release in the future.
And if they gave it to you then they have to give it to the hundreds or thousands of people that claimed it on PS+ who never bought the game at all when the discount is for people that own & bought a copy already.
It's unfortunate but you know what you would say if you was them...be honest.

But whether I'm in my situation or not of having previously bought it, what does that have to do with locking PS+ owners out of the upgrade? There is no win for Sony denying the upgrade path. 95% of people who have it on PS+ are not going to just all of sudden buy the game for the upgrade. They are leaving money on the table of all the people that potentially would pay the $10 vs not paying at all. Don't you see this? They have already provided the $10 upgrade path for games like FF7 remake, so why not for this!

If you were ok to lose the upgrade as well as the game when / if it rotates out of PS+ and/or you stopped subscribing maybe, but it would generate also more backlash. What some people would want is a way to buy the entire game and the patch for $10 and 1 month of PS+…
 
Great game but completely unnecessary remaster.
Sony is not delivering this gen. Pointless remasters, DEI garbage and Trans propaganda.

What games are those?
 
Big flaw with this game is the front half is loaded with the most piss poor human combat and it saves the big zombie hordes and best weapons for the end. The new horde mode might be worth the $10 upgrade though.

+1 for having the protagonist be a U.S. Army vet though, too many games have a regular guy magically able to use every weapon in a platoon's arsenal off the bat. At least Deacon has the background to be able to load an M249 properly the first time he's given one.

Horizon both versions. A last of us spring to mind. I think also Tony hawks. But don't quote me on that

There were a few back when don't got caught out with the 'ps4 to ps5 upgrade, won't cost more than £/$/€ 10 ish'

I'm sure there is another couple out there. The point being, sometimes you just don't get the deal. I could have waited till a sale or the remaster comes to psn. But I didn't want to and it balances out with me only paying around £5 for the original. Then not playing it for years 😂

But paid the money and can play without the disk as I guess it's not an 'upgrade' but a new purchase.

No biggie and already enjoying my first couple of hours, feels good to be scared and careful in the game again 😁😂

So you sold the physical copy you had to someone else, who then didn't have to pay Sony for a copy, and you're mad Sony won't give you a digital copy of the remaster for free? How can anyone be surprised that the console makers want/need to go digital only. I wonder how many million Gamestop has made on used PS5 software sales. Hell, I wonder what that figure is for used Playstation software sales in general. Gotta be an eyewatering number of commas. I'm sure Sony has done that math.

Are you mentally challenged? 1. I own the digital copy through Plus collection, this wasn't given in the free monthly games, this was given for the launch of PS5. 2. I want to pay for the upgrade, did you read that right? I want to 'pay' for the upgrade on the digital copy 'I already fucking own!' What does Sony lose by giving me the $10 upgrade path for my digital copy? You sound like you've been gaming for 5 minutes. You're definitely young, you can tell by your comprehension and comment.
 
Almost in the end. I want to go back the Oregon woods.


Its a shame they didn't add the option to make snow in the first area, aka woods.

In their preview gameplay a long time ago I do remember snowing in Cooplands camp.
