You're going out of your way to look for an argument.
Here are the facts:
90% of people who bought MK8DX didn't play MK8.
Everyone who bought MK8DX received a large amount of additional content.
Online subscribers received approximately double the content.
Could Nintendo have done better? Absolutely.
But MK8DX is not the system's best selling title because
Edit: corrected sell through numbers

Do you think people buy MK8 because of graphics lmao.
People are getting into the insane territory. Horizon wish to be a Mario Kart franchise.

Thank you, people on here are trippin balls sheesh.You guys are nuts. they are literally reusing hfw assets and lighting which were a huge step up from the original. some character models will look different. Rost in that screenshot is literally only in there for the intro cutscene. he's much older after that.
every other character looks to have gotten a huge boost. This guy looks insane.
In gameplay, they have brought over the same exact foliage quality, hero lighting, character models and lighting.

How can you say that when everything has been upgraded from assets to lighting. those other games have the same exact assets, lighting and character models.

I feel like if you had someone play the original without seeing the remaster, and vice-versa with someone else, both experiences would be pretty much identical. I don't really see the person who played the original going off on how bad it looked or anything like that?
Feels like one of those upgrades where you are making something that's completely fine better, but not changing in a way that would impact anyone who has already played it.

yeah, thats why its called a remaster and not a remake and why they are only charging $9.99 for it instead of the usual $70.

They are just porting this game to the newer version of the engine and almost all those assets were already made for Forbidden West.
End result is much better compared to TLoU2 (no updates there) remaster but still not worth any money.
Who said they do? Doesn't mean they didn't have to pay $60 for a near identical game when they went to a new gen to play the same game. Doesn't mean those who wish to play HZD now do so for the graphics either even if this remaster is better on new gen compared to the old.

You are really trying too hard to compare a colossal franchise as MK8 against HZD?
Nintendo could ask $90 and nobody would complain. The games quality speaks for himself.
In terms of sales? No, whatever gave you that idea. Not sure why you're going on tangents. In terms of excitement or improvements for the gen, yes.
I rest my case then.

I don't understand why the characters suddenly look so much younger.
Rost, Aloy etc look like they could be 5-10 years younger.

Absolutely not.
However, the biggest issue (my only issue, actually) with the game was related to visuals: it's side-content facial animations being lacklustre at best, this awful at worst:
This creates an absolutely massive discrepancy with its sequel, where every single NPC in the game was performance captured. And it's apparently being addressed with this Remaster.
I think you should stop assuming you're interacting with people interested in honest conversations. And you should really know better at this point after so many years on GAF.
The moment you read this work is not worth any money, not even $10, you know it's time to let go.

They most certainly do get a pass, particularly in conjunction with Sony. Plus, I see the argument of “quality” being thrown around, but neither company has any issue there.
Nintendo receives more backlash for its handling of copyright infringement than anything remaster related!

Their remasters are too expensive.
The most blatant recent example is the upcoming DKCR Wii port.

That's reveal trailer Aloy, which none of is featured in the actual game, so they didn't use "fat" Aloy.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.

Don't bother, that user already ignored being corrected with actual evidence in two different occasions across two different Threads. He doesn't care, just wants to keep spamming for some reason.

No doubt theres some improvements that may also change the tone of the game, but bottom line is, if you played the OG already especially on PC/PS5, ud be an idiot to upgrade. If you havent played the game, then sure, get the updated version.

There originally was a Netflix show that was supposed to start filming soon, but the showrunner got canceled a few months back. Now it's in limbo. It's why Sony remastered The Last of Us before the show aired

I really cannot believe that still people don't understand that compressed videos, being 4k or not, kill HDR, fine detail, and aside poligonal edges, they kill everything that makes an image "next gen". The real direct feed images on HDR screen would show much more difference.
You can even take movie cg, and after some compressing, it could be put aside some good realtime graphics showing not much difference (aside the lighting realism given by ray tracing, which get perceived by the eye as "realistic" even in low quality).

Girly?!
The landscapes kinda have a more girly appearance?
The biggest diff here is the lighting model and more foliage. There's nothing girly about flowers

Four years in and gurellia gives us a remake of a 8 year old game lol.
Four years in and we have last of us remasters left and right.
Four years in and not a single brand new first party blockbuster from any studio.
It is by far the worst console generation ever.
Why would anyone care for this? Why even make the effort? Why use all those resources for this stupid upgrade?
Nothing makes sense anymore

I wouldn't call Returnal a blockbuster. And it isn't first party.
I mean it's a super cool game and all but...yeah. Not what Al is looking for.

Hmmm…. Time to pick apart more bullshit…
1. This is a Remaster
2. Spider-Man 2 dropped last year
3. We have TLOU PT 1 Remake and Part II saw a Remaster… two games.
4. Don’t care for it? No problem. Plenty of people do and that’s why it exists.
Chuck Berry
Yes, Returnal is 1st Party.

I had to look that up, because I couldn’t believe it. But holy fuck, imagine the sales if Aloy actually had charisma.
