I think game companies realize that there are always people born that never got a chance to play the games at the time they launched.
The GTAV effect. We always question who are these people buying them, and it’s always the “coming of age” as the answer.
Sure, there may be a crossover with those who have already played them, but I think the majority are those that are of age now where those games were not on their radar at one time.
No need to be so doom and gloom. With the Horizon TV series on the way, this is simply a cross-selling opportunity to wrangle TV viewers into the gaming market, similar to TLOU Remake. We will have a next gen showcase for PS5 before year end and all of the cutting edge, current gen only games you're asking for will be shown.
That shouldve been everyone's first clue as to the new direction of sony studios. The fact that they fired Shu after he produced TLOU, Uncharted 4, GOW, Death Stranding and TLOU2 all won the most GOTY awards their respective years. Thats 5 games in 8 years with HZD coming runner up to BOTW. To fire a guy with that kind of track record is unthinkable. Demoting him to run fucking indies is straight up vindictive.Get Herman bitch ass Hulst out of first party.
What a massive downgrade from Shuhei Yoshida.
Yup, we all know what their motivations are (the ones who will be using this as their ammo in silly console war discussions later). I respond to that when I feel like it otherwise I just ignore 'em. Given the choice, I would have taken something else. There is so much to play now that it doesn't matter that much.I agree, and of course the usual suspects will use it as fodder for anti-PlayStation/anti-Sony ammo. But when you're picking games still as modern and playable as HZD to remake only 5-6 years later, it's not like Sony is making supply for those narratives hard to come by.
Yeah, definitely. I think getting remakes for games like the ones you mention or other titles that have not been re-introduced would have been better but I don't necessarily see a big problem with this, if they do it.Hopefully we get some remakes or just straight-up sequels in IP that would actually do something to maximize the idea of a remake or such (especially for me). People want a Bloodborne update, remake, or sequel. Other people ITT have mentioned The Order and Driveclub, both perfectly suitable for a remake. I personally would love a remake for something like Omega Boost, or Legend of Dragoon, or suchlike, even though their chances are probably quite slim in reality.
Yeah, if they are prioritizing this over making the next game it would be a shame. If they are going forward with this, they must feel confident in other stuff that they have planned.Expectation: MGS remake.
Reality: Horizon remake no one ever asked for.
If that meant that the next Guerrilla game would be delayed for years it would be a complete shame.
I mean, we can fault them when its shown that releasing this is affecting other content they are working on. If they really are mis-prioritizing then it is a big shame. Right now, I don't know if that is the case.true but Sony providing us with top tier entertainment what next GOW Remake ?
And Part II, that game is over 2 years old nowThey should remake The Last Of Us Part 1.
13 of them was PC ports too.Remember when Sony bragged about 25 games in development? We’ll Horizon Remake will be one if them.
Damn over 400 pages on this already? If this is just outsourced to a different team while GG works on something else what does it matter?
But, they did make a sequel. Seems they are making a native app for HZD where the multiplayer will probably launch from both versions, not unlike Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy.Ok but this has always been a thing in the gaming industry - as in new generations arriving after certain "milestone/landmark" titles have released. It's just that the industry has become so creatively bankrupt - instead of focusing on creating new landmark titles for the new generations of gamers, they can't think of anything better to do other than to re-release the old stuff with a new coat of paint. It's risk adverse, it's boring and it's lazy. There is nothing stopping new gamers from going back and exploring pervious works to give them some context and appreciation for how we arrived at the point where we are today. It would actually be valuable for them to do so in many ways and that's how you create true hobbyists.
Once you've created a masterpiece your focus needs to be on creating your next masterpiece, not milking your previous work to the point where people start to get sick of it. You've created history, time to make new history, not constantly relive and ressurenct the past.
My issue with all of this is that there's a clear opportunity cost. It's also not an isolated incident, it's a number of games. There's a clear pattern emerging.
This so much. Sony studios are in an incredible position compared to their third party peers who are forced into chasing trends. Sony studios are given the time and the budget to create true single player masterpieces. And they have, but they got complacent and decided to ship straight sequels instead of Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2 style leaps. Where is the ambition? I remember ND, GG and SSM devs used to try and top each other game after game. Now they are blowing each other on twitter. Where is the friendly competition? the drive to be the best?Once you've created a masterpiece your focus needs to be on creating your next masterpiece, not milking your previous work to the point where people start to get sick of it.

If you want to slander other games then at least have better standards than stanning for what was one of the worst game releases in a generation.
Selective standards in a nutshell.
I can. Putting time in to bleeding edge and then attempting to convince others it's anything but a steaming pile of horseshit.
Sony literally do not have a Japanese first party.That requires Sony to actually care about their Japanese first party which this gen they dont.

Let's not pretend here that Sony is going broke.With high inflation and industry consolidation, Sony has to find new revenue streams to continue supporting the new innovative IPs we both want to see. Unfortunately, unproven IP = risky so something has to give. I honestly think remakes, live service, TV/Film focus are a "necessary evil" in order to support those fresh games. Without this, Sony would end up being the next Sega Dreamcast.

Amd it wont even have ray tracing. Sorry Aloy, I liked Ellie and Joel better anyway.
What do you mean, it sounds like it's supposed to be more than a next-gen patch.Nah, this won’t be a remake like TLoU which was a PS3 game, this will be akin to Uncharted 4/Lost Legacy or Ghost of Tsushima.
Next gen patch already happened unlocking framerate.What do you mean, it sounds like it's supposed to be more than a next-gen patch.
They're not the only ones reporting on thisIs mp1st.com reputable? It's the first time I've ever heard of them.
Ehhh, Monster Hunter is the king and a MP Horizon isn't going to dethrone it.Yeah I cannot rock with this. The original game's still perfectly playable, even more so than TLOU Part 1. In fact some people seem to prefer HZD to HFW (I'm not one of them).
If this is a free update for the existing game and something in a package those who don't own the original can get for say $40, then...fine I suppose. There are other PS games that could really do with a remaster or a remake that would grab my attention a lot more, but at least this way people who already have the game aren't paying out for features you can probably enable for free through hacks on PC.
If that isn't an option though, and full-priced to boot...just not worth it. The rumored MP game is the more interesting of the two rumors anyway, I just wonder what that may entail for Monster Hunter on PlayStation going forward because there might be some competition between the two, same as that rumored Certain Affinity MH-style game for Xbox. Could give Nintendo a chance to work out a really good deal with Capcom on future Monster Hunter games.
See, THAT'S a game that would actually be worth doing a remake for. Lots of potential unrealized. But somehow it's too "risky" to do? Makes no sense to me.
In general the recent remakes strategy from Sony isn't really doing what it could be doing. These are really safe picks, TLOU and Horizon, with original versions still perfectly playable by modern standards. I preferred when they were remaking stuff like Demon's Souls, Shadow of the Colossus, etc. Remake Legend of Dragoon, Omega Boost, or Tomba! That's the real potential for remakes IMO.
I really wish this is true but tbh I don’t think it will be. I think this will be a full $70 game without an upgrade path, but I hope I’m wrong.This is probably going to be a $10 upgrade
Oh…but they’re coming….next year or the following year.To be fair MS arent releasing any games at all
Or the year after.....Oh…but they’re coming….next year or the following year.
