Upgrade... sure.

"Massive"... ehhh

I_am_Batman202d ago (Edited 202d 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.

Cacabunga202d ago

Still pass.. enough with this series already

MDTunkown202d 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_Batman202d 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.

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

Valkyrye203d ago

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

TheEroica202d ago

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

Notellin202d ago

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

just_looken202d ago (Edited 202d ago )

compare it to pc og gog version maxed out then

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

just_looken202d 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

andy85201d 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

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.

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

Cacabunga134d ago

Next is Horizon card game… the milking is unreal

Grilla134d ago

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

mkis007134d ago

They better not be afraid of leaning into it hard.

S2Killinit134d ago

Im most excited for the Ghost anime.

vTuro24134d 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.

How when the game is literally inspired by a movie?

Goodguy01135d ago

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

Lightning77135d ago

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

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

Hereandthere134d 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.

DarXyde134d 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_Darkness134d ago (Edited 134d 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-64134d ago

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

Lightning77134d 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.

Lightning77135d ago

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

Grilla134d ago

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

Lightning77134d ago

Now that's gonna freakin dope.

-Foxtrot134d ago

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

Elda134d ago

If true then there's hope.

gigoran8134d ago

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

-Foxtrot134d ago (Edited 134d 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.

S2Killinit134d 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.

Michiel1989132d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic177d 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.

Storm23177d 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.

lockedongamer1177d ago (Edited 177d 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!

Chocoburger168d ago

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