God of War Greek Saga Remastered in the Works

Greek God of War is special for a lot of people as well, and I say this as someone who loves Gravity Rush and doesn't really like pre-2018 GOW.

Eh, I think the $60 price tag is what hurt it the most, rather than the competition. I don't see much overlap with RE7 and Nier, and then HZD and BOTW were released a whole month later.
But God of War, everyone now has a PS2, PS3, PS4... And they can play them at will... They even have the games for $9.99 dollars. Gravity Rush is a beautiful work that has few systems... And people should know it.

The price they gave on Gravity Rush 2 was correct because it is complete and has free DLC... It was the launch window. And there was also the disastrous Fortnite that year.

But Gravity Rush is available on PS5, though? It has way more reach than the greek GOW games (bar 3), which are only available through cloud streaming that isn't even supported worldwide.
I'm not saying that Gravity Rush 2 didn't deserve a $60 price tag (it did), but it most likely hurt it from what is a very niche and weird looking game to most people.

yeah? no one wants to play ps2 games that were already remastered on ps3 at 60 fps. killzone 2 never got a ps4 port and driveclub and bloodborne never even got ps4 pro ports.
Oh yeah, 15 years ago, on a console that most people aren't even using nowadays, but even if they did, they can easily play Killzone 2 there as well, you know? Not to mention that Ascencion didn't get a PS4 port, either.
Again, you're talking nonsense, greek GOW games are by far more wanted by PS5 users than either Killzone 2 or Driveclub, Bloodborne *may* be a different story (which is why I didn't mention it initially).

But all the God of war games are on ps5 too.... 😟. Plus Gravity Rush 2 deserves to be in 4k and 60 fps... Plus Kat looks beautiful as a Jazz singer and Maid.

The same way you can use your PS3 for god of war, you can also use it for killzone 2 while driveclub/Bloodborne are both playable on modern platforms.

I don't understand the whining about choosing one game trapped on the PS3 instead of another. Ideally we want all of them ported, but you gotta start somewhere.

Hopefully this means all the old games are also getting ported to PC. Remember if you don't like it, don't buy it.
 
What the fuck. All these God damn remakes and remasters (some of which have already been remade and remastered) and still no word on Bloodborne or Gravity Rush 1 and 2.

Kinda weird to complain about remasters and then asking for other games to be remastered.
Ok, why exactly Bloodborne or Gravity Rush deserve it more than, say, Boku no Natsuyasumi 3?

This would not hurt my feelings at all. I feel like we’re getting to the point in the generation with bigger game bundles.

Fine isn't the same as a perfect and if you are looking for a perfect experience, From Software games probably aren't for you. As it stands, it plays fine.

I mean, Sekiro ran pretty much perfectly on my PC back when it came out. played it day 1 on my old PC. locked 60fps on basically max settings.
Armored Core 6 runs perfectly as well... as did Dark Souls 3 afair.

and making Bloodborne run at 4k 60fps seems to be pretty easy if even modders can do it 🤷 noone is asking for anything more than that.

thankfully, soon, we will be able to just do it ourselves through ShadPS4

I definitely want to play a remastered God of War trilogy on my PS5. I also want to play a remastered Killzone2 along with an upgraded Killzone Shadow Fall and Bloodborne. What's wrong with wanting all of these things?

lmao. 2 million in the first 8 months. Gets a greatest hits edition. sells 4.7 million units.

I'd love to see a new and improved DriveClub, but I think it (remaster or remake) is unlikely due to all the licensing involved. If they're going to bother licensing the vehicles (maybe utilizing their partnerships from Gran Turismo), then they might as well just create a new game in the spirit of DriveClub, than attempting to revive the old game.

Come Sony where are the remaster of:

Fantavision
Irritating Stick
Viz Ribbon

There was a new FantaVision game that was made recently.

Kojima creates an aura which attracts hardcore supporters. A driving game like a DC 2 sequel wouldnt.

I gotta admit, I didn't have "PS5 Pro enhanced PS2/PS3 remasters" on my PlayStation bingo card.

I am a fan of the ps2 trilogy along with the 2 psp games, but ascension is a steaming pile of crap and doesn't deserve any remasters. Ascension's best moments are the the first 30 or so minutes of the game, and that's it.

Holy crap, how many time they remaster that shit? 1 on ps3, 1 on vita, other one on PS4 (?)

The only one of the early games that was remastered on PS4 was God of War III. None of the others are directly available on PS4/PS5, aside from streaming for subscribers to the PS Plus Premium service.

The goal is to make the games available for these systems, and presumably extend that to future Sony systems as well.

I would be a bit surprised if it was true. I wonder if it will be closer to a "remake" than a "remaster".
The gameplay probably still holds up but I suppose they could slow it down and make it more visceral.
 
This is the generation that keeps on giving. If this is legitimate, we get more remasters and remakes. GOW2018 will probably be next. Let’s do Ragnarok remaster in 2026 as well.

Sure why not 🤷‍♂️


Ive been meaning to try out cel shading filters on pcsx2. It can apparently give some games a completely new, remastered vibe. Have you tried or recommend any?

It's crazy how emulation hobbyists are putting billion dollar companies to shame. So much money left on the table.
 
this is so stupid. If you are going to have nixxes work on something, port games like DriveClub, Bloodborne, and Killzone 2 to PS5 first.

give ps5 fans what they want. but no, they port a horizon remaster and now this.
As a ps5 fan, I would take a god of war 1-3 remake over any of those that you mentioned.

Driveclub was a new IP, in development for god knows how long, from a studio that had already flopped on PS3 with Motorstorm, it was delayed like 2 or 3 times missing Playstation 4's launch window, released with countless issues including the fact you couldn't do online races for god know how long, most of their features came through updates including rain races.

Death Stranding released in 2019 while Driveclub released in 2015. a 4 year gap and still Death Stranding almost caught up with Driveclub's sales. (which i'm sure at this point it aleady done better) By the way, that table you just shared shows Driveclub in terms of net sales (money) well below Death Stranding, even though it released 4 years before and it was a Playstation studios released by an internal studio...which Death Stranding wasn't. It barely surpassed LittleBigPlanet 3 net sales...

About Until Dawn that game wasn't nearly as expensive and was developed by an outside studio, come on now. That's important as well.
