Support NeoGAF

[Setsuna Mudou]

Fucking sick and tired of these pointless remasters... Should be illegal to remaster a game unless it came minimum 2 gens before.

In a time that any new game takes 6 years to be made, we spend years and years remastering games that are available and play (and look) absolutely fine...

 

[Reaseru]

I have the physical version of Horizon Zero Dawn and the Frozen Wilds DLC bought, yet the 10$ upgrade isn't available for me, even with the disc inserted on the PS5. What gives? The option to upgrade it for 10$ will be only available at launch?

 

[Edellus]

"No one" seems to be a lot of people indeed. I'm glad the franchise keeps on picking up.

I do find it odd that so many people in here seem to be interested in a franchise they don't like being popular. I would have thought that if they weren't interested in the game then they wouldn't talk about it at all. It's almost like conginitve dissonance.

 

[Damigos]

So they were listening to "data" when they made Concord and Outlaws and suicide squad ? ... I personally think their "data" system is completely broken this gen.. and listening to gamers, even neogaf incels, just a little probably would be a good thing.

I agree. But you cant disagree that wanting to get on the live service games sounds "right". I personally believe that it never was in their DNA to do so, though Helldivers proved us wrong

 

[Diddy X]

If you starve your players long enough they will buy anything you feed them, Sony masterminds at it once more.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Bruh you about to summon the horde .

Damn you weren't kidding. 4 pages for games no one wants or cares about is a lot

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Well to be fair, that Concord thread went on to forever and no one actually wanted to play that game.

Methinks you should have a word with your senator.

Its not just about their gaas initiative... its everything imo .. outside their second/third party deals with asia developers wich have been carrying the ps5 this gen . Their first party output its just awful, even the sequels we got were mostly subpar. Their western branch its just not delivering imho. They are lost.

Except Astrobot.. astrobot its my goty. No suprise it came from the only japan studio.

 

[VictorVectors]

My boy Raziel's whole thing is rising from the dead. Hoping Legacy of Kain remastered does the same.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Wow, Dragon Ball is dominating

17 years waiting for this game, the hungry is real

 

[sainraja]

First time on Gamepass. I know nobody is rushing out and buying an xbox for "free" COD but with the offer also on PC it has to have some sort of effect, even a little bit. Lots of folks have more than one platform already.

Going to be interesting seeing what transpires, if anything.

Oh I see. I forgot about that. It will be interesting to see what type of effect that has. I will be surprised if those who mostly play COD will convert to Game Pass because I think what they pay yearly right now for COD should be less than what Game Pass will cost them overall but perhaps with their new tiers and pricing it's closer in price? I'll have to calculate that to see but yeah I get what you are saying now.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

The difference between this thread and those other threads is that they aren't usually created as a defense mechanism.

So it's okay to create topics to trash stuff...but not the other way around? damn...everything okay over there?

Western devs in general are in a dry period. I agree, japanese studios lead the industry

If you already have an Xbox its much more cost effective to sub to gamepass. In fact if you only game on Xbox and don't have GP then I'd say your doing it wrong ( not you personally obviously).

PC is a bit different economically as you don't need gold to play of course. Off topic though, sorry for the derail folks.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Why do some people have such a problem with Horizon? I played it it on the PC and it'as a great game.

 

[Kacho]

I mean, it's fine. Most people don't deify Sony IP so it's just another game to them.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

People also said nobody asked for TLOU Remakes or PS Portal.

Statements like that are meaningless and a fart in the wind.

 

[ByWatterson]

Thread title should be renamed to, No one with taste and not a vanilla normie wants these games.

The irony here - via the most basic take possible - is so, so thick.

 

[clarky]

People also said nobody asked for the Until Dawn remake either.

 

[XXL]

Until Dawn should have just been a remaster that you could upgrade to...like Horizon is. Imo.

Broken clocks

The people who enjoy hzd, is it like the general mass casual audience? Like ubisoft/asscreed enjoyers? I tried to play it before and couldnt get into it. Wanted to, cuz the setting n all that but played soooo basic.

Maybe it just isn't for you. Nothing wrong with that and there's no point in forcing yourself to like something.

 

[EverydayBeast]

For the record I love remasters but you can have horizon and last of us remaster, games made after 2015 shouldn’t be remastered yet. I think remakes are even better.

 

[Exoil]

I don't mind if they remaster games or not. I played it on the PS4 Pro at the end of the last generation and couldn't do with the 30 fps so I decided to wait until the PS5 released to give it another go incase we got a 60fps patch.
I guess I would've paid 10 bucks to play it remastered for the PS5 if I hadn't already played the 60fps patched version

 

[GymWolf]

"No one asked for..." is dumb af.

I'm sure no one ever asked for Maruchan chicken ramen flavored Funyuns either but when I saw a them at Costco I bought a bag without even thinking twice

Little secret, you can also find pringles sour cream and onions flavoured noodles...

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Fuck yeah I want these games.

Name of the anime?

 

[ReBurn]

Little secret, you can also find pringles sour cream and onions flavoured noodles...

But dear god why would you want to?

 

[bundylove]

Industry is in shambles but they have time and money to waste on these games.

Sony , other than astrobot, i played better games from third parties. You suck

 

[Roman Empire]

Dragon Ball doing amazing numbers! I'm inclined on getting it but I'll wait to see more about the online connectivity and other stuff. I miss the Tenkaichi combat so much but I don't want to jump the gun and regretting it.

 

[GymWolf]

But dear god why would you want to?

I mean, if he likes funyons flavoured noodles, that looks like the natural evolution

 

[ReBurn]

Yeah I can see that. I was at a gas station on Monday and I saw Funyuns flavor potato chips. I didn't try them because whatever they put in the seasoning makes my tongue swell.

[nial]

Except Astrobot.. astrobot its my goty. No suprise it came from the only japan studio.

Polyphony Digital is vastly bigger and more successful, you frickin' tourist.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Awwww..

I gonna see it...

 

[Danjin44]

Awwww..

I gonna see it...

It’s goooooood.

 

[Paasei]

I actually think I’d like the lego game. Remasters are unnecessary as a whole for me.
Even the most beloved Bloodborne doesn’t need a remaster. It just needs a 60fps update and a PC port.

I also don’t preorder games as all my trust for any game working as intended on day one is long gone. And I also don’t feel the rush/need to play something asap.

 

[TGO]

Best selling looks like this to me

 

[Games of Today]

I want the new graphics for Zero Dawn. That game has an arguably sicker map. Bryce Canyon, Arches, Monument Valley. Unreal.

 

[Astray]

Horizon is honestly more elevated than most of the post-Black Flag Assassin's Creeds IMO.

But yes, it's a general mass casual audience that likes it.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

GAF never has its finger on the pulse of casuals. If GAF was any real world indication, CoD and Madden would sell nine copies each every year.

That said, GAF is pretty accurate for hardcore gamers, and most of us don’t give a fuck about these games.

Already released games, not pre-orders.

 

[Heisenberg007]

The echo chamber was wrong?! How?!!!!

 

[aclar00]

Are pre-orders a good indicator of midterm sells? I can see the initial sales window (first week or 2) being relatively high, but the rest...not some much.

Also whats the average ratio of pre-orders vs day one sales for most games?

I ask these questions because i can imagine 10,000 people who were really anxious to get the game but then see sales tank immediately after because the general population dgaf.

With that said, i see the lego game outselling the remake.

It's always been like this for some reason. If you own a physical game that has an upgrade coming out, you need to wait until it's released. You can't pre-order with the disc in because it's a different version.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Will play LEGO Horizon on my PS Protal just because why not.

HZD doesn't need a remaster, but iut's a $10 upgrade for the majority of people and it will do just fine.

Boy, the drama threads are always something.

 

[Reaseru]

Thank you for the reply. I remember that also happened to me for The Last of Us - Part 2 Remastered. So that's Sony MO for physical version remastered upgrades.

 

[Ogbert]

Great news.

Here’s hoping they’re already working on and Horizon remastered remake for 2027.
