Again, you guys can have your all digital future.

 

[sainraja]

It's $10

Yeah, I edited my post.

 

[IDKFA]

At this point,slowly but surely a new industry wide crash seems to descend upon us. I give this industry 5 more years before it implodes on itself.

I think it needs it.

I don't know any other entertainment industry that attempts to rip off its customers more than the gaming industry.

 

[Trilobit]

Anyone who has played both who can recommend playing Zero Dawn if you've only played Forbidden West? Or are the game mechanics much more unpolished?

 

[tommib]

That’s pretty gross. Just keep both versions on PSN. Fucking Hulst and his Horizon greed. I hope this remaster fails but who am I kidding.

 

[ungalo]

Anyone who has played both who can recommend playing Zero Dawn if you've only played Forbidden West? Or are the game mechanics much more unpolished?

I wouldn't recommend it because why would you want to play more Horizon after playing Forbidden West ?

 

[tommib]

They’re both mediocre but Zero Dawn is the better game. Less bloat, less tedium.

 

[MasterDerico]

I've never seen a scam like that. And fast.
I don't care because i don't like this game, but that was brutal.

The mechanics werent unpolished and Im going to assume that Aloy will control and feel just like she does in FW in the update

Definitely play it if you enjoyed FW. I still think its the much better game in every way.

Welcome to the world of digital downloads.

nah, it's a world without competition, MS killed themselves, but the fanboys cheered about MS pulling out of the race. These are the consequences.

You wanted no competition, here is a world with no competition: 4 years in and endless remasters of PS4 games.

Little Concord tax here, little over there. Sony will be fine.

That's the Concord tax.

This happens with all remasters with a $10 or free upgrade though. Same thing happened to TLOU Part 2 remastered before Concord even existed.

 

[Punished Miku]

Again, you guys can have your all digital future.

What you dont get is that it is going digital. The point is to have multiple competing stores and a company that doesnt nickel and dime constantly running it.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

It would be lovely if it lasted but those motherfuckers will kill disc drives in consoles in the next few years.

They literally can't without preventing significant numbers of gamers in worldwide regions from buying games anymore

The problem is with pretending the US is the whole world here

We had to pay a price for the destruction of the ultimate evil. Nothing comes for free.

 

[LectureMaster]

The complete edition was free to claim during COVID along with other bunch of good indies. I hope folks already all have the game in their library.

 

[Mr Moose]

[Bojanglez]

I only care about whether the free PS+ version is eligible for the upgrade. Everyone who cared got that free with their PS5 anyway.

I think it has been removed from the store. It used to be there as a selectable version, now I can't see it.

 

[March Climber]

This is why I was so glad I bought this game on a deep sale a bit ago. I saw something like this coming.

 

[Kacho]

Again, you guys can have your all digital future.

What does Sony's greed have to do with digital? This isn't the norm.

 

[Fake]

Wow. Big brain move.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I also noticed it today.

What app is this? Is there a steam one to?

 

[FeastYoEyes]

Got my PC key while it was still cheap. Feel justified now.

[Little Chicken]

He needs to stop trying to make Horizon happen. It's not going to happen.

Out of all of Sony's IP it's the one I'm least interested in. Despite the first game being good, it's entirely forgettable.

 

[soulbait]

I only care about whether the free PS+ version is eligible for the upgrade. Everyone who cared got that free with their PS5 anyway.

I believe it does. This is from the PlayStation blog:

For existing owners of Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4, PC) and/or Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition (PS4, PS5, PC): you can upgrade to the digital version of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered for $9.99 on both PlayStation 5 console and on PC (via Steam or Epic Game Store). This includes fans who added the game to their libraries during PlayStation’s Play At Home initiative. 5

Owners of the Horizon Zero Dawn PS4 game disc can access this offer by inserting the game disc into their PS5 console (and will need to keep the disc inserted each time to play the game). PS4 game disc owners who buy the PS5 Digital Edition disc-free console will not be able to access the upgrade offer.

For the PC gamers before this nonsense also hits PC stores:

Deals - Platform - PC Gamers - Get Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered ~$20

Step 1: Go here (you will see a list of sites where the game is available for ~$10, I can vouch for both gameseal and CD Keys being reliable) - https://gg.deals/game/horizon-zero-dawn-complete-edition/ Step 2: Redeem your key and you'll then be eligible for the $10 remaster upgrade when it...

[omegasc]

Remember when it was free for everyone?

 

[bundylove]

Now can we say whats the point of this remake remaster what ever shit they call it nowdays?

listen sony , make some games already.

 

[killatopak]

There was a thread asking if Herman is OUR guy again.

I found the answer and it is no.

 

[simpatico]

I bet the PS6 version of Forbidden West is already well into development. "It's just $10 bro"

 

[Physiognomonics]

Someone has to pay for Hulst concord mistake.This is how a manager would solve the $400 million problem: By milking the traditionnal console SP players.

But many of us were saying this kind of thing would happen after Jim Ryan got in the place.

 

[JaksGhost]

The complete edition was free to claim during COVID along with other bunch of good indies. I hope folks already all have the game in their library.

Their pride/ego wouldn't allow them to download it.

 

[adamsapple]

What app is this? Is there a steam one to?

It's the PSdeals.net website.

Very good for seeing sales

 

[JaksGhost]

Someone has to pay for Hulst concord mistake: Single Player gamers.

But many of us were saying this kind of thing would happen after Jim Ryan got in the place.

This has happened to all of their SP games that got PS5 remasters. From Spider-Man on down to now Zero Dawn. It's not some new conspiracy because it's been a thing. People have had over 7 years to get the game dirt cheap just like The Last of Us Part 2 ($10 during various sales before shooting back to $39.99).

 

[Camreezie]

Arrogant Sony back in full force in that state of play

 

[rm082e]

I might actually give up gaming.

This issue seems minor, but it could be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

If you quit gaming, it's not this issue that did it. It's that you're a quitter.

 

[Timberwolf25]

That's why it's important to have all 3 hardware companies remain viable and competitive.
Imagine the shit Sony would pull when you have no other alternative for your console gaming.

[rm082e]

He needs to stop trying to make Horizon happen. It's not going to happen.

Out of all of Sony's IP it's the one I'm least interested in. Despite the first game being good, it's entirely forgettable.

Because the sequel (which hasn't been given away for free) sold a lot as of almost 18 months ago:

Horizon Forbidden West has topped 8.4 million sales

With sales like this and not having to pay for an IP license like Spiderman, it's one of their largest IPs. I don't care for it one bit myself, but they're pushing it because it's making them money.

 

[near]

I also noticed it today.

For existing owners of Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4, PC) and/or Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition (PS4, PS5, PC): you can upgrade to the digital version of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered for $9.99 on both PlayStation 5 console and on PC (via Steam or Epic Game Store).

If this is intentional, it's an absolutely shameless move from Sony. Typical corporate scumbag behaviour.

I think it has been removed from the store. It used to be there as a selectable version, now I can't see it.

I have the complete edition showing from PS+ but I think I bought frozen wilds.

What does Sony's greed have to do with digital? This isn't the norm.

This isn't Sony related and is the case with digital prices in general (even physical, though physical and second hand is much slower to react to business plans spiking price)

For example look at Fallout 4 GOTY Editions best price across all these stores (Steam, EGS and Windows Store.):

Notice during the hype of the TV series in April it went up from its all time low of $8 to $33 then again in May when the free update released. This is normal gouging of digital prices based on trends.

 

[graywolf323]

Didn't Witcher 3 do the same? seems like a common tactic after a "next-gen" version is released.

so did No Man’s Sky

 

[Crunchbox]

Pure greed

And there will still be people defending Sony when some of us say they've changed for the worst.

Nah gamers change for the worst. Sony just adapting to survive.

 

[Bojji]

They literally can't without preventing significant numbers of gamers in worldwide regions from buying games anymore

The problem is with pretending the US is the whole world here

After Pro presentation I'm sure they will keep disc drive optional on PS6. Many games won't even be released on discs most likely...

Arrogant Sony back in full force in that state of play

Without any competition they don't need to hold themselves back. Market is theirs basically.

 

[Hohenheim]

Got a better one to worship?

How about stop worshipping in general? It feels quite good you know.

 

[Bojanglez]

I have the complete edition showing from PS+ but I think I bought frozen wilds.

This wasn't a monthly claim and keep whilst you have a subscription game was it? It was in the catalogue and removed?

 

[Three]

MS is pulling this stuff too and they're not even popular.

 

[Three]

This wasn't a monthly claim and keep whilst you have a subscription game was it? It was in the catalogue and removed?

It was,as far as I remember. It was also offered if you had a PS5 near launch window I believe. You get to keep those specific games with PS+, they don't remove them.

 

[Clear]

Of course they put the price up! Its an exploit they need to close if they are offering the remastered version with a discount to existing owners .

I have zero problem with it.

 

[Business]

Keep eroding that goodwill
