I heard that Gravity Rush 2 Remastered is internaly planned for around January, so annoucing It 3 months before launch would make sense I guess.

All news to me. Would you mind explaining where did you hear these from, please?

Even I as a big Horizon fan, 100% trophies in Zero Dawn and Forbidden West and enjoyed every minute of it, thinks a Zero Dawn remaster is pretty insane when the Horizon Lego game was just revealed for the first time recently. It feels like overkill and oversaturation of the franchise.

At least stagger these titles over time better. And is there still a Horizon online game in the works? By the time Horizon 3 is unveiled, will there have been any time to miss the franchise and be actually excited about a new entry? It’s a bit much.

So Until Dawn, Horizon ZD and this third remaster are their big games this holiday season? Get Herman outta here. Just send him to the moon.

There are very few games left from Sonys PS4 era that havent been re-released as PS5 remasters.

Here is everything they have already released on PS5 or will soon release.
- Uncharted 4
- Uncharted Lost Legacy
- Spiderman
- Death Stranding
- TLOU2
- Ghost of Tsushima
- Horizon ZD
- Until Dawn

This leaves the Ratchet remake, GT Sports, Days Gone, Infamous Second Son and KZSF. like whats the point?

It's the Nintendo Wii U -> Switch strategy but at least there Nintendo had valid reasons. Complete architecture differences messing up any native BC, and poor Wii U sales limiting total sales caps for games released on it (even tho Nintendo's own games more often than not did extremely well despite Wii U's low install base. Honestly really impressive in certain cases).

PS5 is fully BC with PS4, and the PS4 sold almost 120 million units. Not exactly a bomba or niche. These remasters of their big PS4 games, assuming there are are more, are just feeling like complete cash grabs and milking of the current audience. Or just as bad, an excuse to "justify" more simultaneous PC releases, particularly in light of a diminished GAAS output which was supposed to fill in that role.

...Assuming any of this is true. Grubb is more wrong than right, and loves to talk just to talk. Most of these insiders are the same. But aside of some one-offs (like the recent Astro Bot), this is feeling too much like the most unambitious era for SIE in terms of 1P software. A glut of GAAS, safe sequels, safe & unnecessary remakes, and safe & unnecessary remasters (outside of ones like the recent Freedom Wars).

Xbox has had some decent showings for sure

That they have, but on the whole things have been a bit on the "eh" side.

Sony feels like they're just coasting because they know Microsoft is struggling, so they feel like they don't have any competition anymore.

So its cheap remasters and games you already played, $700 consoles and controller price hikes.

Feels eerily similar to the early PS3 days.

I’m in the same boat as you and completely agree. I haven’t replayed HZD since getting my PS5 (no point because I have all the trophies for both the base game and DLC), but didn’t they add some PS5 improvements after the console launched?

I could swear they dropped a patch to make the game run at 60fps in backwards compatibility on PS5. It already looks great, does it really need a “remaster”? I don’t think so, and I certainly see no reason to buy it - and I say that as a pretty big fan of the franchise.

Remastering a 2017 game with existing PS5 enhancements that’s already sold over 20m copies just screams “desperate cash grab”.

Indeed, HZD runs at 60 fps on PS5 and it plays really great. It was actually my first time experiencing it on the PS5.

But yeah, agreed and this remaster would have to be mighty impressive for me to care at all really when it plays so well on the PS5 already.

So the understanding is that there's a SoP tomorrow.

If there's no announcement before noon I'd then think they would do a special SoP on the 26th and then pre-orders go live after. I'm guessing but could be possible.

yeahhh let's see. In previous years, many bigger games were revealed at TGS though, wouldn't surprise me if they decided to wait until after

What are you guys looking forward to the most? For me it's RE9 on the pro, and maybe Ghosts of T 2, first game really pushed the graphical fidelity and delivered something I didn't even think was possible on the ps4

For me I think personally I'd like to see some of the games that will take advantage of the Pro. So really any game for me.

Anything specifically I will just say that I've tempered my expectations greatly for SoP in general. No disappointments this way :pie_ssmiling:

What Sony should do at least is show their roadmap for 2025. But I doubt they will do that, will be another shit event like the last one.

No, they already revealed their TGS schedule with little PLAY! PLAY! PLAY! stages for some titles (Astro Bot, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Monster Hunter Wilds, etc.), and a special PlayStation Presents stage for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for the last day of TGS.

If the rumor is true Sony buys WB Games, then Batman & Harry Potter will be exclusive to Playstation.

I really hope this doesn’t happen since having exclusivity to PlayStation with these large IPs doesn’t sound like a great idea.
