Hilarious. The original game already looked great, but hey, you can upgrade for only $10!
Why do we need a remaster of that game so soon?
Because Sony likes money and doesn’t give AF about gamers
Idk how it looks like on PS but I finished it last year on PC and it was looking great already.
It looked great on the PS4.
And was patched for 60fps on the PS5. Just like The Last of Us 2.
PS5 has been the generation of PS4 remasters/remakes. PS5 might as well be the PS4 Pro Pro and the PS5 Pro the PS4 Pro Pro Pro.
I bought the Last of Us 2 upgrade, so I can’t really criticise anyone buying this, but I’ve played this game to it’s absolute death - had every conversation, completed every mission, even played through on the hardest difficulty to get all the trophies - so I can’t imagine ever playing it again. It’s Guerrilla Games’ own fault - if they hadn’t made it so good, they could have had an extra tenner from me.
It’s not even that old…
It should just be a port - but that doesn’t sell copies.
wasn’t this game already ported to PS5?
Not ported but a 60fps patch for PS5 was released. The PS4 version was already backwards compatible on PS5.
Ugh that makes it even worse
Why?
But why? Why would someone buy this?
Because people are fucking stupid. It’s the same reason Disney is just mass producing marvel and Star Wars trash. And the rest of the film industry is afraid to gamble on original content now.
The bottom of the cash-printing barrel has been found in entertainment consumerism. And I’ve a feeling it’ll never go back to what it once was was.
If they fix some of the wonky character animations during cut scenes, it might be worth it for that alone.
Greed is a hell of a drug. Enshittification of the game industry means you buy the final edition after a few years at a sale and ignore any remasters/rereleases/remakes/reskins since they’re all obvious cash grabs and add less and less to the game.
The latest step to curb this is always online DRM for single player games. Easy off switch for old versions when you want the cash cows to buy the new one at full price.
Geez. Awful use of resources remastering games that already look great.
Yeah… rather than create new shit…. Just keep doing this. Money prints itself when people are so easily pacified.
Bloodborne remaster next???
Why are people so insanely obsessed with Bloodborne remaster?
Quick non spoiler: Faster paced than souls and the theme style as perfectly executed. Horror elements blended really well as the game progesses over places you’ve been before. A key nonspoiler difference is the addittude toward boss fights. Souls end with victory achieved and Bloodbourne ends with prey slaughtered with major bossed getting and a spoiler text.
It’s an excellent game, was a lot of peoples first From Software game, and unlike the majority of big titles from that time period, hasn’t been ported, updated or remastered.
Additionally, out of all the “Souls” games, Bloodborne is still the only one that can’t be played at over 30fps.
I think it was my first FS game too, and I played a decent amount of hours on it on the PS4, but I just thought there were newer an better FS games since then that would fill that desire. It didn’t seem to me that Bloodborne was that special. And it’s not like FS had just been sitting still doing nothing since then.
I think bloodborne holds a lot of reverence because of the themes it portrays. Besides Sekiro, which also has a cult following, all the other Souls games are based in and around medieval fantasy of some sort.
Bloodborne starts in Victorian England with a Van Helsing story and the descends into Lovecraft really fast. For a lot of people, myself included, that’s inherently a more interesting setting than medieval fantasy. People who are into victorian England are really passionate about it, and people who are into Lovecraft are really into Lovecraft.
The blood starved beast IS a pretty hard filter for people who don’t think the game is special. I don’t blame you.
Because its a very good game and its currently only available on one platform?
Wishing for a remaster isn’t what I would call INSANELY OBSESSED. Chillax bro
If they remaster it there’s a chance they’ll release it on PC and then I won’t have to buy an entire PlayStation just for one game.
Puts on mask pretending to be Sony
“Bloodwha? Whatborne? Never heard this word before in my life. Doesn’t look anything to me”
Do I think it’s unnecessary for this to get a remaster? Yes. However I’m still looking forward to it. It looks good; the fixed mocap and haptic controls alone will make it worth the £10 upgrade for me.
Oh and they fixed the weird looking kid Aloy. I’d have paid £15 for that, so £10 is a deal.
What sucks is that no one is gonna buy this and Sony is gonna see it and think “I guess no one wants Horizon games anymore.” When the fact of the matter is that no one wants a Horizon game that’s identical to the one that’s already available, and runs/looks great.
When I played on PC the game looked good, but there were definitely places that could be improved. I recall facial animations looking a bit off. Not that I think a remaster is called for.
