ummm why didn't they fix the cringe model of Aloy as a child. It is so creepy looking.

 

[Emet_bp]

Have her ears become bigger?

Character models are 99% the same. That 1% is different hair for Aloy.

 

[FeralEcho]

Most of the trailer looks like difference in color grading and some higher draw distance in some far shots.

Rost looks less detailed in the remaster for some reason. They removed the blemishes from his face and changed his hair color.

While it definitely looks worse I think the reasoning is they de-aged him for those scenes. In that scene Rost is with a young Aloy whereas in the original in both the young Aloy timeline and grownup he has the same old man model.

That's why both his hair and skin are less grizzled

EDIT: Looking closer seems like it was different models even in old version which makes the remastered model look terrible.

 

[Schachtier]

I know this is easy money. But all the resources could have gone in new projects (or Killzone remasters...) IDK, Gaming has become a strange...

 

[Erebus]

Am I the only one who is tired of the constant influx of remastered games that aren't even a decade old?

 

[NahaNago]

I was going into it hating the idea of a remaster of this game, but it looked a lot better than I was expecting it to. I'm still iffy on whether I'll pay for the update.

 

[Thebonehead]

Leaks of the new sweet baby collaboration on the remaster.

 

[RJMacready73]

whilst i enjoyed the two Horizon games, failed to finish the newer DLC, i have no desire to replay em especially with the ARE YOU GUYS BLIND!! massive jump in graphical quality, definitely brings the first one up to the eyeball melting standard of the incredible looking sequel, i just wish Nixxes would bring Uncharted 1,2 & 3 upto the quality of 4, id definitely replay those for 4th time.. man UC2 with the graphical quality of 4 would be incredible

What the? Is Sony selling us downgrades?

God of Horizon

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Shaders look way better. Instead of plastic dolls they actually look like something with skin.

Not a reason to replay this whole game, for me, but I guess it's nice for people who haven't played it yet.

 

[M1987]

You lot are blind if you think it looks worse

 

[Rockman33]

I really don’t like their “hero light”.

Everything has some kind of 3 point lighting system to the character. The backlight on the characters just look fake to me.

 

[HL3.exe]

This is so stupid. There are like, a dozen games still stuck on the PS3.

The fuck Sony? Feels like a 'out of touch' scam, or some sort of sweeping move to ignore their older catalogue.

The Horizon franchise feels like an industry plant; Sony really wanting it to be a beloved success while in reality, most feel 'meh, it's alright I guess' about it.

 

[seb85]

What a waist of time and resources

 

[Radical_3d]

New :

Old :

So, is the Remaster for PS3?

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Everyone got a Botox treatment.

To me, it looks like when phones do that AI face smoothing thing.

I genuinely fear that new developers were raised in this environment and believe this is how humans actually look. The original Horizon looks far better.

Even the “new” mocap looks worse. Near the end of the trailer it just looks like those AI generated mouth movements.

It also seems they did the thing that most remasters do where they mess with the lighting and everything is overly lit.

 

[Negotiator101]

This has to be free? They can't possibly charge for this?

 

[solecon64]

Still can't get over the fact they used the fat cow model of the second game for this.
I really liked Zero Dawn, but man, this whole Hulst-obsession of a series needs to go, just like Hulst himself.

 

[RoboFu]

This is a free upgrade?

 

[Germuso]

 

[violence]

I was gonna say this looks different not better but Aloys model is better however I prefer the lighting and everything else in the other shots. This is $10 for horizon 2 hero lighting.

 

[mdkirby]

Environments look better,
Characters look worse

 

[SnapShot]

Does this patch also give her a personality

I think the remaster is worse looking.

 

[CGNoire]

New :

Old :

Looks worse in every shot like they literally turned off Self shadowing.

 

[violence]

Calling this a “remaster” is really stretching it as a word. I suppose if you want a new play through to feel a little different, this is worth the $10.

This is a “paid update” not a “remaster”

 

[Jacob0101]

This is a free upgrade?

$9,99 upgrade or $49.99 for the complete edition

 

[PianistaMacabro]

Are they messing with us? Hahah
The only substancial difference is the color grading and it got way worse. Wtf

 

[MisterXDTV]

It's just an optional PS5 SKU

The good thing is that you can still play the original PS4 version, no problem

It's not like the sad GTA Definitive Trilogy that is worse than what came before. Too bad the previous versions were delisted

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Today’s takeaway - more GAF users need vision improvements than once thought!

 

[Exede]

This game simply does not need a remaster.

 

[MasterDerico]

its $10, just dont buy a coffee for a day and you can upgrade.

ill play it again

Coffee > this game.

 

[MisterXDTV]

This game simply does not need a remaster.

If that's the case, keep playing the original version for free

Problem solved

This, so much this

This looks horrible, reminds me of the Prince of Persia remake.

What nots to ignore from bandwifth limit exceeded.

Try directupload.eu ?

Done, thanks.

You’d think this would be something a 4th grader could decipher. But, here we are.

 

[Hookshot]

It all looks too clean, look at the blokes little arts and craft thingy. It's way too blue and pristine now. Like he hasn't spent a day outside.

You think this game was made by people who go outside?

I want a more dirty Aloy. Make it a menu toggle, I don’t care.

 

[Xaeroxcore666]

The most unnecesary remaster, even if it has some noticeable upgrades, which turns out havent even showed properly. Dont understand the Hermen Hulst obsession with this IP, while PC gamers are able to enjoy Killzone 2 and 3 on 4K thanks to RPCS3, on PS5 while that we have this Horizon remaster no one asked and Lego Horizon ....Killzone remaster would have been 100x more worthy.

 

[mhirano]

Were you expecting different from a GAF Horizon Thread?

Not sure how some of those comments will age once gameplay gets compared.. 90% of this is Pre-Rendered vs Real-Time.

Looks like a cute kid now instead of a horrendous halfling

 

[RagnarokIV]

Looks proper wank. A $10 downgrade to PS3 version.

But the child Aloy still looks terrifying.

 

[SmokedMeat]

They didn’t even fix that ugly fucking kid Aloy?!!

What’s the point of this?

 

[Rat Rage]

Alright folks, let's see if we can spot a difference!

 

[GermanZepp]

i can't stand Aloy, its so lame uninteresting and boring.

 

[King Dazzar]

Looking forward to this. The landscape shots look great.

 

[FrankWza]

This is by far my least favorite Playstation ip but this forced/fake outrage for a $10 optional purchase is embarrassing. It sells. That simple

 

[Vick]

Today’s takeaway - more GAF users need vision improvements than once thought!

I love GAF.. Horizon Threads though..

 

[King Dazzar]

The eyes look soulless in the remaster
