Game News 2.0

I'd say definitely not an upgrade. Seems like it's a full priced game, especially if they're calling it Remastered and it's being age rated for release and everything.

There's obviously a market if they keep doing it, and if it was a upgraded version of [game you personally like] there wouldn't be as much of an issue. I think there's also a sense of certain hate/dislike against the Horizon games that it doesn't deserve, they're brilliant from a technical and gameplay standpoint, albeit with bloated open world mechanics which, again, a lot of people seem to still like.

Each to their own. How many times have people bought GTA V over 3 generations? Even Naughty Dog are not as bad as Rockstar in that regard. But because GTA V is near universally lauded it's ok. And no doubt the PS5 Pro version of it will sell again.

Personally I'll probably give it a go if it's a free upgrade, but meh on paying any more for it.

Probably just being done due to the ease of it rather than demand, and like I said if they squeeze a bit more out of the graphics in terms of raytracing, better lighting etc, it'll probably be used as a good showcase for the PS5 Pro.

Pretty much. There are some differences though, such as the changes to the joycon rails and the increase in size.

I basically expect every game to have a 60fps mode now. That, imo, is the "next gen" leap we should have as standard, what with 4K tvs nearly being the norm now (66% of Americans had one in 2023 and the average screen size sold in 2017 was 49" so one can assume is >50" now).

That makes all the sense.

Read this somewhere about PS5 pro ...

"The PS4 pro pro pro"

😁

Two easy things Sony could fix with PS5 pro hardware wise ... make it consistently quiet and not have a lottery where some machines are ok and some as noisy. And also, hall effect sticks.

..

Rumours abound that Horizon Zero Dawn isn't the only first-party Sony game getting a PS5 Remaster. I miss when studios made new games....

But those Days are Gone.....

I want them to do it, not because it's a good game, but I want them to do it while excluding the butt hurt guy who's been giving out about Deacon being in Astrbot. That'd be nice.

These remasters of basically new games are getting quite ridiculous now if Days Gone is actually getting one.

I don't understand why they don't do something like a Jak & Daxter remake. For an entire generation, it will essentially be a new IP and Astro Bot has shown that people respond well to bright and bubbly platformers and then you have old folks like me who will bite due to nostalgia.

The only remaster that matters ... might be more than a rumour.

Hopefully it's bundled with a special edition PS5 Pro.

Money for old rope. Can increase a few specs which may have been previously limited due to console limitations, SSD can boost performance of other aspects etc without a huge amount of work. Whereas a full sequel likely isn't feasible.

I think it did relatively okay. It wasn't a failure or anything, but it lagged a good bit behind most of the other single-player Sony first-party games and just didn't get the hype or attention they really look for, so it wasn't deemed a franchise worth continuing with.

Just give the Days Gone rights to Microsoft. Days Gone 2 - an Xbox exclusive.

Zero would surely buy an Xbox then.
