It has to be Mass Effect and Yooka Laylee for me. Can't wait for both of those

JoeBloggs3181d ago

I really think Yooka is going to slip into 2017

Hewso3181d ago

yup I can see that happening...

JoeBloggs3181d ago

I think for me it is Mirrors Edge and No Man's Sky. They both look like something special.

ninsigma3181d ago (Edited 3181d ago )

Horizon, yooka laylee and uc4 for me from that list.

Horizon Zero Dawn PSN Price Secretly Increased by Sony Following Remastered Announcement

Sony has secretly increased the price of Horizon Zero Dawn on PSN from $19.99 to $39.99 a day after announcing the remastered version.

Knightofelemia1d 8h ago

Just another reason why physical is better then digital.

sam0119h ago

But that's still a pretty greedy move

PRIMORDUS10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

If you also play on PC just take it from them for free, or if not just seed it out of spite LOL.

jwillj2k417h ago

Has absolutely nothing to do with physical the same thing could happen. You just love pushing this narrative, don’t you?

KyRo4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

They weren't pushing no narrative. The benefits of physical outweigh digital in everyway except that you have move your ass off the sofa to put a disk into the console.

JackBNimble2h ago

The only benefit is resale, you only hold a physical key .

Goodguy011d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

holy crap this is funny lmao

Edit: just checked and it is lol. Google still says it's $19.99 but once you get to the store site, there it is.

blackblades1d 6h ago

Not surprised buisness wise why have the OG low price low when people can just buy that and then upgrade. I don't think its the 1st time that happened considering its not the 1st remaster/enhance of a ps4 game. So as said it was expected tbh. Whoever wanted the game wouldve had it by now

Petebloodyonion20h ago

The same happened with TLOU part 2 when they did the remaster.

JackBNimble2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Keep making excuses for Sony, this is why they do these things because fanboys like you accept anything Sony does.

JL29301h ago

That's some god tier shill. Holy shit.

Extermin8or3_1d 4h ago

It's to stop people buying it really cheap and then just upgrading. Considering people can upgrade even if they own the free version given away during the pandemic though they are being pretty generous anyway.

excaliburps21h ago

"It's to stop people buying it really cheap and then just upgrading" -- yes, and they took that away and you're OK with it? No wonder Sony can pretty much do anything when it comes to pricing. LOL!

VersusDMC19h ago

I guess they should have gone the Nintendo route and just kept it full price? There are 7 year old switch launch titles still at 60.

InUrFoxHole17h ago

@VersusDMC
Is your take that this is ok or a shady move?

Michiel198917h ago

it's to make them more money, simple as that.

JackBNimble2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

They double the price of a ps4 game so they could hopefully make a sale on the upgrade. That's a pretty shitty way to treat your fan base/ customers.

I own the game but I won't give sony my money for this. Ya it's only $10 but so what.

andy8520h ago

And this is why physical needs to be backed for as long as possible. You can buy the physical game for £5

Hofstaderman20h ago

Me inserting my physical disc I bought used in the drive. Long live physical.

The Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster Proves You Don't Need A PS5 Pro

Why do you need a better PS5 when there aren’t any games that will utilise its power?

Read Full Story >>
thegamer.com
derek4d ago

You technically don't "need" the ps5, ps4 or the ps3, lol. You don't need any videogame console, it isn't a necessity of life. If you want the best playstation console money can by, that would be the ps5 pro.

CS74d ago

While the article is pessimistic and negative, can we agree that typically playstation hardware allowed experiences that no previous generation was able to deliver?

With the PS5 and Pro that's changed and its because its first party are having trouble making exclusives that harnesses the PS5 power. And with so few using the base PS5 to the max, the Pro just seems pointless in a way that no other major Playstation ever has.

Idk, you guys keep defending Sony, first it was covid, then chip shortages, then live service won't hold back single player games. Now here we are with barely any good first party games in sight and the defense continues.

Sony needs to get their head out of their arrogant rear and get back in touch with what gamers want. And it's not live service games and it's not a $700 PS5 pro to see more detailed bleachers in Ratchet and Clank.

And just to rest my case, when you are showing your most powerful system (PS5 Pro) using a last generation game (TLOU2) something is very very wrong.

smashman984d ago

I don't think you quite got it. This isn't the ps3 gen where the cell was difficult to use and there was a period of time where the console just was not being properly utilized. These consoles are on x86 architecture and are performing at or around the level of comparable PC's. Sure there's SSD stuff more 3rd party devs could do but this isn't going to result in a big graphical leap.

_SilverHawk_4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Drinking water proves you don't need a ps5 pro. Get a brita water filter

rippermcrip3d ago

They could make games that PS4 couldn't handle. They've chosen not to. They did not want to abandon the huge existing PS4 console base. It is a shift in strategy from the past.

DustMan3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

"when you are showing your most powerful system (PS5 Pro) using a last generation game (TLOU2) something is very very wrong."

This 100%. Doesn't exactly build confidence in the performance of a machine that can't even be advertised as playing something new. Just older...but better lol.

Why does a random remaster do that? There's going to be plenty of games that utilise it over the next 4 years. And plenty already released that will benefit from it. If you don't want one fine, but what's with all the nonsense bashing of it

jambola4d ago

it's like saying "upcoming indie game on steam proves high spec pc's are useless"

Grilla4d ago

Gotta get those clicks. Later they’ll write a “I was wrong..” for more

Chocoburger4d ago

They'll never admit that they were wrong.

TheEroica3d ago

Sony has been milking their fans with unnecessary remastered/remakes all generation. They bet their first party budgets on GaaS games and failed so to save themselves they're gonna milk their base with more of these....

ClutchManeuvers4d ago

Uhhh. I was going to write something but it's so tedious knowing that everybody will just rip me.

TheEroica3d ago

Who cares what internet people think of your thoughts... You think they're opinion is more righteous? Please.

monkey6023d ago

I couldnt tell you how many times in the last number of months I've started writing a comment or reply here, only to hit the X to clear it and move on. There's no engagement or discussion to be had here. Just petty arguments.

Einhander19724d ago

There are over 8500 games that use dynamic resolution scaling and struggle to hold fps that out of the box will utilize its power.

Games are already lined up for patches and more games that haven't been announced yet will use it.

But of course talking about what it actually does won't get as many clicks.

Obscure_Observer3d ago

"But of course talking about what it actually does won't get as many clicks."

That´s because nobody knows what it "actually does" in real world yet.

DustMan3d ago

We were told that we get better bleacher resolution in Ratchet and Clank, and that The Last of Us 2 Remaster look really, really, good now. This is from the reveal...the absolute weakest reveal ever.

jambola4d ago

no
it adds to your opinion
it's doesn't prove anything

and even besides that, one game wouldn't prove that anyway
that's silly

The Metroidvania genre has captivated gamers for decades! Discover the best Metroidvania games of all time.

gold_drake100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

blasphemous 1 for me.

i love the artstyle and how they didnt shy away from their imagery

but symphony of the night is also superb

DarXyde99d ago

SotN and Blasphemous are phenomenal.

RiseNShine100d ago

GBA Metroids and Castlevanias are up there with anything else imho.

jznrpg100d ago

Catlevanias GBA and DS games are the best! But there others that I like a lot such as Hollow Knight, Chasm etc

BrockEmSockEm100d ago

As much as I want Silksong, adding it to the BEST is a little premature. It's not even out yet.

Guybrush100d ago
