[Begleiter]

What a terrible waste of resources. Hulst will be out of the company before the year is out.

 

[FeralEcho]

Will get it on PC,seems like a decent upgrade over the original and worth a replay but jeez if this isn't the most useless remaster,the original is barely 7 years old...

 

[YCoCg]

We get it Hulst, Horizon is your baby but please stop.

 

[iHaunter]

It's a $10 upgrade. Stop crying.

 

[Portugeezer]

Remember they gave this game away during COVID for anyone with PSN, no Plus requirement. The upgrade is fair here.

 

[Humdinger]

it's me or Chibi Alloy looks better now?

She looks better than in the HFW trailer - ol' fat-faced Aloy.

 

[Skifi28]

What more could they add to the pc version?

If you compare the first game maxed on PC vs forbidden west you'd be surprised how much difference there is. This is basically the first game brought to the second's tech. It also seems that gone are the days of talking to dead eyed motionless NPC and they recaptured the performances to be more like in FW where they were quite impressive.

 

[RoboFu]

Lunar was more exciting lol

 

[bitbydeath]

They really did it, lol.


Days Gone announcement next?

I hope it gets the $10 upgrade treatment as well.

 

[ElCasual]

The head of child Aloy is unfixed.

 

[EDMIX]

They've lost their fucking minds.

ikr

a game moves 25 million units and you are shocked they remastered it after 7 years?

Nintendo to shadow drop Switch 2 and BOTW remake.

You mean $70 Port? That is what they'll do lol

What a terrible waste of resources. Hulst will be out of the company before the year is out.

How would this be a waste? lol this is literally the fucking thing they've been doing for generations. Companies remaster titles all the time, Sony especially.

Get new hires
Grow the install base
Make extra revenue

Keep in mind, that isn't just a Sony thing, Square, Capcom, Sega etc all do things like this.

Why should they leave money on the table to get new consumers to their IP? Not everyone is willing to play a last gen version of something and might be willing to buy a remaster instead.

 

[Sanepar]

Looks gorgeous and for a 9.99 upgrade fee it's day 1 for me.

On steam is free?

 

[kruis]

It does look nice. Even though it's a remaster of a PS4 game the visual upgrades are easy to see. Plus the game is finally rid of that horrible fake looking 3D model of young Aloy.

 

[//DEVIL//]

One of the upgrades is changing Aloy to the fat version of forbidden west right ?

 

[Elios83]

At 10$ it's mine.

 

[Diddy X]

Can I upgrade the steam version?

 

[Robb]

What an incredible waste of their time and resources.

Herman Hulst - PlayStation GAAS to release day and date on PC, SP games "at least one year" after console release​

Another 4545646th lie by this tasteless Concord stan, Fuck This guy honestly.

because this isn’t a new single player game and it’s already on PC

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

$10, fully redone acting and mocap, full Forbidden West graphics, save compatibility, and a ton of QoL upgrades?

Sure, sounds great.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Y’all really complaining about a game that has a 10$ upgrade path?

In what way is it bad updating your games visually? Didn’t see the complaints for games like The Witcher 3 or something like that.

 

[Fake]

 

[StueyDuck]

They could (should) rerelease all of these today on PS4/5 and PC and I'll buy them in a heartbeat (yes jak is already on ps4/5 and yes i already have all 3 on there but they are emulations, i want the HD remasters)

 

[digoutyoursoul]

It was a great looking game as is

If they are going to keep up with this remasters shit, why not go back to the PS3 era and give some of those games some love instead

 

[MMaRsu]

Sony needs to fuck off with this shit. I used to adore this game, I was proud of an actual Dutch game being amazing.

Now it's just a dried out tit from a milk cow. Disgusting and gross.

And they expect people on PC to pay 10$ for a slight graphical upgrade lmao Get real Sony you clowns

The game is already on pc. It even has an upgrade path. Trying too hard aren’t we?

 

[semiconscious]

The head of child Aloy is unfixable.

fixed that for you...

You could not play those games on PS3 (other than launch unit). Horizon fully playable on PS5, 60fps in 4K (CB, but looks good), looks good enough I would say and don't need remaster.

 

[Draugoth]

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Unnecessary, but in closeups the changes are very noticeable can't deny that.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Bloodborne Remake is probably going to be a PS6 exclusive, like Demon's Souls Remake was for PS5. Lol

 

[StreetsofBeige]

At least Hermen can brag to the CEO this game will have a high ROI.

Horizon released 7 years ago. You really thinks is a new game?

 

[SweetTooth]

 

[thekillergreece]

True, but hey $10 upgrade for an even better version if you already own it is not too shabby. Looks great.

For PC too?

 

[Chuck Berry]

Sure I’ll plat it again for $10

 

[hououinkyouma00]

This shit didn't need to be in a State of Play. Could have just been a blog post.

At least it's a $10 upgrade though. If I ever want to go back and play it I'll probably drop the tenner just to play the best version.

I still wish they wouldn't waste resources on shit like this however.

 

[Tommi84]

Unnecessary, but in closeups the changes are very noticeable can't deny that.

From sexy Aloy to Aloyn't

 

[PatientGamer]

just don't see what the point in this release is at all? Unless it's to entice first-time Horizon players...

 

[Begleiter]

It shouldn't be necessary to point out, but Horizon already looks good and runs well on PS5. What improvements can be made are marginal at best.

This is different from producing collections of games that weren't playable on then-current hardware (unless you got lucky and had one of the back compat PS3s).

It's a decision that's stupid on its face, like the remake of TLOU that followed the remastered version.

Which is before and after lol, I hope there is more to it than this.

 

[GHG]

What makes this funny is that they captured this trailer on PC but I bet there won't be a discount for existing owners on that platform.

 

[Neofire]

Hulst slowing creeping more and more day and date PlayStation games out

 

[FUBARx89]

Surprised at the £10 upgrade. Thought Sony was gonna tell everyone to eat shit.

Dunno if I could go back to it. FW plays better with more weapons.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Helmet Aloy new, non-helmet Aloy old.
It looks like they also changed or added new camera angles or animations to cutscenes, I can't find the exact match of that cage scene.

 

[K' Dash]

Fuck this mediocre IP and fuck you Hermen. I hope the next game bombs hard enough to never see anything about this shitty game ever again.

Put resources on new games and innovation or fuck right off.

Are you talking about the face hair?

Seriously, I don't see that stark difference. Either the original HZD is already too good visually or the remaster add little.

 

[Diddy X]

IMO current version already looks great, also I don't like sacrificing performance, I think I'll pass.

 

[adamsapple]

Witcher 3 was a free upgrade.

This remaster is the proof that if Satan is the father of lie, Sony is his house
