Higher resolution, solid 60fps, and nearly 3x faster loading times. Great update!

darthv721186d ago (Edited 1186d ago )

Great update indeed. i am loving the trend of making old games feel new again with 60fps support. i hope it continues for Bloodborne.

GamerRN1185d ago

But when Xbox did it, everyone said who cares because they didn't buy next gen for old games?!

It's amazing how these console wars work

darthv721185d ago (Edited 1185d ago )

^^correction RN. When Xbox did it, it was PS fans who said "who cares, I buy a new console to play new games..." And to some extent they are right. We buy new systems for new experiences and what we have when these existing games get given improved performance is quite literally a new experience. some would say its still an old game but it is an old game given a new lease on life by providing a different overall experience through the power of new technology.

And honestly there may still be some who have yet to even have played (this game for ex) some of these. So to them they would be new experiences.

F0XH0UND9221185d ago

@gamerrn

You're leaving out a major part of that. Xbox currently only has last gen games while PS has released multiple current gen games. See the difference?

1nsomniac1186d ago (Edited 1186d ago )

..Higher resolution??

It’s exactly same resolution as PS4 pro 2160p checkerboard from 1440p. Not sure why this video showed comparisons for resolution and draw distance as It’s only FPS and loading times that have changed. Definitely time for me to go back and finally complete it though.

Ron_Danger1186d ago

Notice how the preview pic has ps4, ps4 pro, ps5?

SeTTriP1185d ago

Wow so accurate facts = thumbs down.

metabolicfrolic1185d ago

Officially runs better than on my PC.

gamingtext20201185d ago

So true, even until this day, the PC version still has some issues.

PrinceOfAnger1185d ago (Edited 1185d ago )

Runs 120 fps 4k ultra on this PC
https://youtu.be/KaUDpGgVJ2...

BLow1185d ago

Yes, nice. And I don't care what anyone says, the fact that this game runs 30fps on the OG PS4 is nothing short of amazing. I mean it did dip 1 whole frame during this video but I don't think you would notice that during gameplay. Amazing achievement by GG.

I can't wait for part 2. Loved the 1st. Happy Gaming y'all.

@rex

People like you are the worst lmao You focus so much on specs and belittle people that enjoy the game for how it looks. There's absolutely no doubt that HZD was one of, if not the, best looking open world games to come out last generation. Pulling off those visuals, in an expansive open world, on a base PS4 is a technical marvel whether you think so or not. Go away lol

Neonridr1186d ago

perfect, I haven't beaten the game yet, so I can't wait to try this out on the PS5 now.

masterfox1186d ago

Is unbeliavable how this game looks at 60 fps, kinda strange in this comparison it shows modes performance and resolution in the PS5 segments, cause for me those Options it shows to me Unavailable and cant switch options and by default is already 60 fps , not sure if someone else has this problem or is just only me.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1185d ago

Same for me it shows unavailable

IRetrouk1185d ago

They are the ps4 pro modes, you don't select either because it now gives you the best of both modes on ps5 as standard.

Reaper99371186d ago

What a lazy update, no reactive foliage, AF is unchanged, they could have bumped it to 16x. They just changed two lines of code to get it to run at 60FPS, so PC is still the best way to play. GG you are bloody disappointing.

EvertonFC1186d ago

PC games look better? We get it. Move on ffs with the same old record.

Eonjay1186d ago

Even today playing the game at 60FPS, this 2017 game looks better than most games and looks current gen. The FPS boost is all I wanted. Its the only real requested graphical feature.

Ron_Danger1186d ago

Dude it’s a patch, not a remaster or a remake.

I swear some of you PC master race children really need to get over yourselves.

jukins1186d ago

Most of these "pcmr" are juat xnox fanboys claiming to have a pc juat to say that their games "look better"

RaidenBlack1185d ago

He was actually comparing the minute graphical effects that Guerilla added to the PC version.
A game doesn't need to be remastered for those little effects to be added. PC version got the reactive foliage via a small update only.
What OP meant to say in his first statement is Guerilla could've added those minor tweaks via the same patch/update, as it was already available in the PC version. This could've made the updated game a little more appealing.

babadivad1185d ago

Has it released yet? Might power up my PS5 to download it. I don't think I got through a quarter of this game before I put it down.

Neonridr1185d ago

don't listen to all of them. I love my PC, but I also enjoy my PS5 and Switch as well. He's clearly just trolling here.

babadivad1185d ago

From all the down votes I got in my innocuous remark, I'm guessing 9 out of 10 people don't want me to power on my PS5 and finish Horizon 乁( •_• )ㄏ

Mr Logic1186d ago

Sure, but speaking as someone with a fairly high end rig there's a 2 reasons I'm willing to dismiss the better graphics.

A) I already own it on PS.

B) I have a save file of 40+ hours. I'm not about to redo all of that.

Profchaos1185d ago (Edited 1185d ago )

Same I've got a more than capable PC but I'm finished hzd and half way through Ng+ no chance I'm starting again even if it's at 4k. I can't live without my regen armour now

Shiore2u1186d ago (Edited 1186d ago )

@EvertonFC @Ron_Danger
You two couldn't sound more insecure over such a general observation.

darthv721186d ago

i get what you are saying but... it's not that kind of update. It only unlocks the frame rate allowing the game to reach 60fps. What you are looking for would be something of a remaster type of upgrade.

Sunny_D1186d ago

Bruh the game is almost 5 years old. GG are too busy developing the sequel to add all of that right now.

JEECE1186d ago

Imagine getting upset that you got something for free because you wish you would have gotten more stuff for free.

VileBrute1185d ago

Yeah , this .. Spoiled children lol.

justadelusion1186d ago

pc players who say stuff like this reminds me of a simpson tv char, you know the one

Ron_Danger1186d ago (Edited 1186d ago )

Worst… update… ever…

😂 love that guy

(Boy I wonder who keeps giving everyone a single downvote almost immediately after comment posts like the even matter 😂)

Ron_Danger1186d ago

No love for the comic book guy I guess. Must’ve hit too close to home for some users.

Eonjay1186d ago

Game was hardcoded to run at 30 so it was more than changing 2 lines of code.

Petebloodyonion1186d ago

Last I checked they improve the loading time by a lot and it's now running at 60 FPS
So the way it see it, it's a way better version compared to the previous one.
Now If Sony would have to charged you for that then I would have agreed that it's a problem.

Profchaos1185d ago

PC looks incredible yes but it came out years after the PS4 the ps5 edition is just a 60fps patch on the pro version with all the Dev time being directed to hfw I don't mind this approach

1185d ago
1185d ago
frostypants1185d ago

It's not an update, it's literally just an FPS patch. Since when is a free patch "lazy"? What are even you going on about?

Flakegriffin1185d ago (Edited 1185d ago )

"GG you are bloody disappointing"

If you're that heart broken over console players being able to enjoy a 60fps update then how about you, I don't know, play it on PC and get on with your life..

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Graphics Analysis – How Does it Compare with the Original?

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered brings a fresh new coat of paint to what is one of the best open world games of the last generation, but what has exactly changed under the hood?

potatoseal21d ago

Looks much better. I really like the upgrade to the character models epsecially and the robot dinos too.

GotGame81819d ago

Not worth the money. It isn't like remastered games going from PS3 to PS4, or 360 to Xbox One. Sorry, but those jumps in graphics were extremely noticeable.

REDGUM19d ago

To before it's only 10 bucks i hear if you have the original game. It's worth the tenner in my opinion.
If you didn't have the original you can pick that up for 5 or 10 bucks too on marketplace.

GotGame81819d ago (Edited 19d ago )

You are right, my bad. I didn't know the remaster was only $10 for the update. I thought Sony was pulling a TLOU again. That was ridiculous.

Exvalos13d ago

Its only 10.00......and if you dont have the base game ive seen it in stores as low as 9.99. At max its 19.99. Just admit u broke.

Horizon Zero Dawn's PS5 Remaster Is a Massive Upgrade

Spot the difference

darthv7225d ago

Upgrade... sure.

"Massive"... ehhh

I_am_Batman24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

The only thing I'd call a massive upgrade is the water. The lighting is also more accurate so one can cherrypick examples where the "Remaster" looks significantly better.

With that said I'm not a fan of the oversaturated foliage and in places I prefer the color tone of the original. Frankly this isn't even worth the 10 bucks to upgrade for me, especially since I've just recently replayed the complete edition.

Cacabunga24d ago

Still pass.. enough with this series already

MDTunkown24d ago

It’s an 10 buxx upgrade. Imagine if we had such options during ps4 era instead of being offered full price for remasters. So those 10 buxx upgrades is one of few good things this get brought up

I_am_Batman24d ago

The remasters were rarely full-price. We got plenty of full collections of previous gen IP for 40-50 bucks. The lack of backwards compatibility made those remaster collections a lot more sensible than what we're getting now.

The 10 bucks for the upgrade for this is fair enough, I'm not gonna knock them for that, but I still question why these unnecessary projects are even greenlit in the first place.

If we're gonna act like a remake is necessary as soon as a game shows any sign of aging, soon the entire industry will be preoccupied with regurgitating itself, because these kind of remakes are just band-aid solutions that will run into the same issue come next gen.

TheEroica24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Can't imagine being this much a sucker.... Sony fans get milked real hard. It's gotta be tiring.

Valkyrye25d ago

I feel like you should play both versions cause some areas also feel very different.

TheEroica24d ago

No thanks... Some people don't like being bent over for things like this.

Notellin23d ago

There is no way anyone would notice unless the other version was running right next to them simultaneously.

just_looken24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

compare it to pc og gog version maxed out then
https://youtu.be/ef6D2OGjNJ...

Pc version got a update before they pulled down the og version for a forced remaster for more money scam

just_looken23d ago

@andy85

I played it maxed out native 4k 120hz it did not look "worse" there are better textures on some models in this "remaster" nothing a mod would not do on the gog version.

No account no drm is better than a texture mod locked behind drm i say.

No i am not tossing in the upscale tech i am talking native vs native 4k ps5-pc or steam pc- gog pc

andy8523d ago

I've played it maxed out too. The lighting is miles better on the new version and naturally textures. Sure you can mod it, ive modded Days Gone and it's looks better than pretty much every next gen game. But that's not what your comparison video shows

truthBombs24d ago

It does look better to be honest. It takes more advantage of the PS5.

Good for anyone getting into the franchise for the first time.

just_looken24d ago

On console yes pc get the original version that does not need a forced psn login and is $30 cheaper its still on gog for now.

just_looken24d ago

19 dislikes this right here is why sony wants to price gouge do the swap scam and is going into gaas.

People want to give them there info to sell or loose and love to cheer for sony being the new apple the ps store has games 4+ years old still full msrp but no were else to shop such a scam.

Gog version just play it offline or without a account
https://www.gog.com/en/game...

Steam version sign away your personal information then agree to a tos that acts like a blood document
https://store.steampowered....

Both right now are $50 but i seen the gog one go on sale alot but i get it its playstation people would sell there first born for a free ps6.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition Scrapped To Make Way For Remaster, Requiring a PSN Account

The Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is now unable to be purchased on Steam, prompting players to purchase the remaster instead.

"...they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?"

Jim Ryan's impact is still deep within PS Publishing. I don't know why they have this hatred for their legacy that they'd rather rebuild everything from before 2020 than simply honor it as it was.

Unless it's Bloodborne, that can stay a 30fps jitterfest.

gold_drake49d ago

yeh the Jim Ryan thing immediately came to mind.

Vits50d ago

Sony really seems intent on inflating their user numbers to look better for their shareholders, don’t they? The original version is DRM-free, available globally, and, based on comparisons, it’s not significantly worse than the remaster. Yet they still try to push the PSN nonsense on new buyers with quite literally gives nothing to the user and locks a good chunk of the market out of the game.

Tacoboto49d ago

Ironic huh?

Two years ago, people were spreading fud about Microsoft taking away games from other platforms.

Instead - the reality today is that Sony is taking away their own games from their own players.

Rude-ro49d ago

Microsoft was first to require pay to play online.
Microsoft was last to do crossplay.
Microsoft was first to force crossplay between their console players and pc players.
Microsoft was first to push a Microsoft account to play on pc.
Microsoft lead the third party contracts of exclusivity.

Sony… want a free account of psn to play their games, like an already existing standard of third party developers like ea, Ubisoft, Microsoft….
And they lost their way.

Must really suck being that blind.

Tacoboto49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

So what you're saying is... Sony's becoming more like the Microsoft and EA you claim. What a great prospect!

Edit: Forgot to add - Even all three of MS, EA and Ubisoft are learning not to force logins in their latest Steam releases.

PRIMORDUS49d ago

Can't take away torrents of games now can they LOL. Sorry but I'm not spending money on games that can be pulled from stores I'll just take it. I won't make a difference but I know my $$ is not going to them.

Christopher49d ago

Yeah, there's definitely no way both companies could do shit stuff. Only one.

Honestly, this generation has been a shit show from practically every major publisher.

49d ago
Rude-ro47d ago

@tacoboto

A person can not play on windows pc without a microsoft account. Period.
And Microsoft counts this as a Xbox gaming scenario.

It is in the code of their operating system and tied to steam.

They very much require you to sign up even though it is disguised.

It is 100% mandatory.

Jingsing49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Not about inflating PSN numbers, it is about piracy. Have you looked at how popular Sony games are on pirate flag waving sites? The number far outweighs what they sell on Steam or Epic. Will it lead to even more piracy? probably. But Sony dug this hole themselves.

Jingsing49d ago

@PRIMORDUS
"Can't take away torrents of games now can they LOL. Sorry but I'm not spending money on games that can be pulled from stores I'll just take it. I won't make a difference but I know my $$ is not going to them."

I basically stopped buying PS5 games early in this generation because of their PC strategy. Why am I going to pay $70 for a game if I can get them free on my PC. If a company can't protect a customers purchase then I'm not going to buy.

Vits49d ago

If this were about piracy, they would be adding Denuvo or some other form of powerful DRM, not a PSN requirement that is so flimsy in execution that people can mod it out.

This is 100% about inflating PSN numbers. PSN numbers are a known KPI reported to investors. You know what isn’t? Piracy conversion or avoidance. Sony is not a small operation; their focus lies in what their investors care about, and they care about growth.

isarai49d ago

God PlayStation is so lame compared to what it used to be. I really hope the change in leadership starts showing change in this kind of bs soon

badz14949d ago

Yeah. Releasing on PC is super lame!

MDTunkown49d ago

The new guy was hyping concord and was telling to buy the devs of that game

Bathyj49d ago

Is this not to avoid redundancy so anyone buying the game is getting the remaster? Seems like it to me. That's had better include Frozen Wilds but.

The psn account is a separate issue so cry about that if you want but seriously whining about not being able to buy a game you had 6 years to do so and didn't? Fkn gamers now days shit me

49d ago
Nitrowolf249d ago (Edited 49d ago )

I mean, not all remakes/remasters are improvements, case and point, the Until Dawn Remake which is a buggy, broken mess on both PC and PS5.

Some people prefer the original over the new, other the new over the original. Some are limited by hardware, and whole they've had plenty of time to buy, may now be forced to upgrade because they can't play a version that could have worked on their system just fine.

Personally I think it's dumb to take options away, especially since the original was playable in basically every region Steam sold on, and now the remake isn't.
