Game News 2.0

Sony remaking or remastering Horizon Zero Dawn for PS5, with graphical and accessibility additions/features, and quality of life changes.

Seems like it's probably because of the TV show in development, same with TLOU Part 1 remake. But unlike TLOU1, HZD isn't nearly as old, doesn't need the level of work they put into TLOU1, and already has a dedicated PS5 patch anyway. Sony really need to be very careful with how they do this because another €80 price tag simply can't be justified.

It will be €80. These remakes are there to tie in with the TV shows and any new Playstation players. If you never played HZD/TLOU and are just after getting a PS5 you would be inclined to go for the PS5 version.

I think the comparison is more that Capcom are remaking games from 20+ years ago, while Sony are remaking ones from within the last 10 years that don't need to be remade, have diminishing returns in terms of graphical upgrade, but still charge the same price as a full new release.

I mean, they're gonna keep doing it until people stop buying them. It must make money, they wouldn't do it otherwise. I have zero intentions of buying TLOU again. Plenty like me. Let the fools waste their money on a "remade" modern game. I'll wait for these to come out on PS+/GP. And then, maybe, play them again. But it would want to be a fantastic game to make me play it more than once, and while I thoroughly enjoyed HZD, I couldn't play it a second time.

However, in FAR MORE IMPORTANT NEWS... Crystal Dynamics is sending out surveys (or you can just complete as some sites are giving the link) regarding Legacy of Kain. Something is happening. Questions range from would you prefer a reboot/remake/remaster, a new story or continuation, what your favourite parts were, what you liked about it, etc. I obviously completed it and basically asked for a Bluepoint-style remake, keep the original audio, expand the world but keep the story the same.

Just don't fuk it up!

I actually think a horizon zero dawn tv show could be good .

It seems to be set in the very near future/present so they can cheap out on sets and skimp on the giant robots.

It's going to be cheap

I think it was revealed the show was going to be called Horizon 2074, indicating that it's set in the year in the past.

Even then, I liked how the events of the past were dealt with in the game. We find out everything as Aloy finds out everything, and using the holograms to just show us the most important conversations. I'm not sure how much more of the past we really needed to see. It does feel like setting the show during those events will be done because it would be cheaper to make.

It's only to fill out at the moment, don't imagine we'll see results, as interesting as they would be!

Tbh, the link seems dodge, but it's reported by a hape of sites so must be real?

Back when publishers were attempting to fight off used sales by upping retention there were a good few traditionally SP games and franchises that added a MP that did very well.
