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.

Knightofelemia211d ago

Just another reason why physical is better then digital.

sam01211d ago

But that's still a pretty greedy move

PRIMORDUS210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

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

Amplitude210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

PRIMORDUS
People worked hard for years on Horizon, dedicating their lives to the thing. Punishing the developers because of Sony raising the price by a couple bucks after redoing so much of the game is flat out absurd

I don't like Prime energy drinks, so I don't buy them. Doesn't mean I steal every single one I see and give them away, while chugging them every day. That would be lame af

jwillj2k4211d ago

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

KyRo210d ago (Edited 210d 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.

JackBNimble210d ago

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

CS7211d ago

Arrogant Sony back at it again.

Giga_Gaia210d ago

No, anybody would have done the same thing. What, did you think they were going to let people get the game cheaper by getting the PS4 version for 20$ and then paying 10$ upgrade rather than 50$ for the PS5 version? That would have been stupid on their part.

NotoriousWhiz210d ago

Horizon zero dawn (the ps4 edition) is no longer on most retailer shelves. Amazon has already bumped the price of the game, and anywhere else you buy it from would be a pre-owned game.

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.

blackblades211d 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

Petebloodyonion211d ago

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

JackBNimble210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

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

JL2930210d ago

That's some god tier shill. Holy shit.

Giga_Gaia210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

@JackNimble Every single company on the planet, without any exception, would have done the same thing, it's not just Sony. Did you really think they were going to let people get it cheaper by getting PS4 version + upgrade rather than the PS5 version? How stupid can you be?

blackblades210d ago

This idiot Jack calling someone a fanboy you stupid for even saying that. It's business its not the 1st time its been done if y'all can get y'all head outta y'all A* y'all would know this

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.

excaliburps211d 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!

VersusDMC211d 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.

InUrFoxHole211d ago

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

Extermin8or3_200d ago

They are letting tend of millions of people that were given the game for FREE upgrade for a tenner. Why would they leave a means of getting the game deliberately at half the price it's going to be on sale for. Devs worked on it presumably for months to rerecord all that mocap and dialogue and bring it up to forbidden west level graphics and they gotta get paid. It's a business not a charity. It's this or they just don't offer upgrade pathways anymore in the future. I know what I'd prefer.

Michiel1989211d ago

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

JackBNimble210d ago (Edited 210d 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.

andy85211d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

Used. Not new. Most retailers don't even have it on the shelf anymore.

generic-user-name210d ago

Used, new, who cares? Cheap is cheap.

Hofstaderman211d ago

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

Sony Announces Ghost of Tsushima Anime, Helldivers 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn Movies

Sony is hosting its press conference at the start of CES 2025 in Las Vegas. As usual, PlayStation took the spotlight during the presentation, but not in the way you'd expect.

pwnmaster3000108d ago

I can’t even imagine a helldivers 2 movie.
Hopefully they do it good

Cacabunga108d ago

Next is Horizon card game… the milking is unreal

Grilla108d ago

Yeah but with terminator style bots and the Illuminate. More potential imo.

mkis007108d ago

They better not be afraid of leaning into it hard.

S2Killinit108d ago

Im most excited for the Ghost anime.

vTuro24108d ago

I was about to say, they can just copy Starship Troopers homework and change it up a bit so the teacher won't notice.

SeTTriP107d ago

How when the game is literally inspired by a movie?

Goodguy01108d ago

Lmao, sony making more shows, films, and remasters this generation.

Lightning77108d ago

Yet let's ignore Ghost of Yotei, Intergalactic, wolverine and Santa Monica's New IP.

Yep all TV shows and remasters alright.....

Hereandthere108d ago

Ghost of Yotei looks like a ps 4 pro game at best, intergalactic only showed 4 seconds of in game footage, despite being in development for more than 4 years, wolverine might be good, Santa Monica's New IP was just for you to fill space and cover for sonys lack of 1st party games.

DarXyde107d ago

Remasters aren't games?

Didn't realize the same folks making games are also making films and shows (which Sony actually has been making before games, but ok).

Silly comment aside , Ghost of Tsushima as an anime sounds grand. Don't care too much about Horizon or Helldivers media, but it sounds cool to get more Jin.

Army_of_Darkness108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

You do realize Sony has a completely separate movies and tv series division right? They are simply catching on and actually taking advantage of their popular gaming ips

Redemption-64108d ago

Naaaaa, you are supposed to pretend they don't have a completely separate movie/TV division

Lightning77108d ago

@Here uh huh Right watch Ghost Of Yotei get the highest score on meta this year. ND doesn't miss so I expect Intergalactic to be a damn near Master piece, insomniac making Wolverine so you know they'll knock it out of the park. Santa Monica will probably announce their new IP this year and it'll be epic. It's about track record and all these studios have great track records. You wanna argue facts go ahead I'll win.

Lightning77108d ago

I was hoping for live action Ghost but an anime will be just fine.

Grilla108d ago

Last I heard the guy that made the John Wick movies was working on it.

Lightning77108d ago

Now that's gonna freakin dope.

-Foxtrot108d ago

I really hope they get the guy who played Jinn to play him in the film.

Elda108d ago

If true then there's hope.

gigoran8108d ago

out of all the titles they could have chosen, those 3 could actually make decent movies.

-Foxtrot108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

They’ve tried a Horizon series and it fell apart, what makes them think a film is going to work with a shorter run time.

I was hoping the GoT series would focus on Jinn after the main game.

S2Killinit108d ago

Im not sure about the show or why it allegedly fell apart, but the story in Horizon is pretty cool. I can see people enjoying it.

Michiel1989106d ago

they probably recorded some footage for it and now want to make a quick buck out of the remnants. You know what they say: fail once, rip your audience off.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic151d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23151d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger141d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

lukasmain173d ago

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

GotGame818172d 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.

REDGUM171d 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.

GotGame818171d ago (Edited 171d 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.

Exvalos165d 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.
