[scydrex]

Hell no. Really liked the first one but no thanks... not paying for a non necessary remaster or remake. If they offer a $10 upgrade maybe will think about it.

 

[EDMIX]

but fucks sake, come up with something original rather than re-creating

Well...the amount working on this remaster isn't the same as the folks likely making the engine for part 3.

So that isn't a instead of or "rather" or something. It will be years before they might be done with some Decima 2 engine or something. The team that makes that engine stuff will work on it, the other half will do the MP stuff, remaster etc as they still need jobs until then.

Its not what many think. This isn't being made in place of Horizon 3, just like The Last Of Us remaster wasn't made in place of The Last Of Us part 2.

The remaster took less then 1 year, part 2 took 7 years and 2000 plus developers. Think carefully here...to ask them NOT to make the remaster, oh but start part 2 instead, The Last Of Us not only sells less units, the team has to lay off a lot of that staff until the engine to part 2 is done, the staff they do have knows PS4 even less as they didn't do the remaster and it doesn't take 7 years, it would likely take 8 or 9 or something, consider they'd have less money.

So....let the 100 or so who work on this get paid, learn PS5 more and then move on to the other 400 plus still working on Horizon 3, that shit could literally take 6 years before we see it, having them have less money won't help that situation.

 

[hemo memo]

Why would you buy something that will be at a bargain bin price in a very short period? I don’t burn money.

 

[Danjin44]

FUCK NO! I actually enjoyed original TLOU but I still refused buy the remake, let alone Horizon which I didn’t enjoy original game on PS4 at all, no amount of eye candy graphics gonna get me suffer through that game again.

 

[Banjo64]

Wouldn’t even play it if it was free. Platted the game in April 2021. Seen and done it all, and there’s nothing that could pull me back for a second playthrough.

 

[Alphagear]

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I haven't even finished the PS4 version.

 

[EDMIX]

Same.

I like the game and all, but after 100 hours....I've seen what I want to see lol I rarely play RPGs twice nowdays. Back in the day, it was nothing for me to go thru FFX like 4 times or FFXII many times or Xenosaga or something, but I'm about that once over life now. Give me the fucking cliffnotes, once over and move on.

I'll return 2 generations later for that remake lol

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Two ways I think this will go:

1. They release a remaster with a $10 upgrade fee for the people who own the first game already
2. They will release a bundle for 1/2 that will be remastered specifically for PS5 and will include DLC and Co-op for $70

The MP mode will definitely be free to play but I doubt they will just release Horizon 1 for $70

 

[iorek21]

No. Unlike TLOU1, I have no love for Horizon (pretty meh, tbh) and it doesn't really need an update.

 

[Freeman76]

No fucking chance.

 

[Shifty1897]

This is a slap in the face to Bloodborne players everywhere.

Your point is well made, but I still feel that this is becoming more the norm for most developers (remakes or reimagining that are then charged full price for ...or in this case, potentially more than the original title cost). I've been into video games for a very, VERY long time and this is not a precedent I will support.

I didn't buy The Last of Us Part 1 either, and likely won't touch it till it's $20 or less.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

No. I got HZD for free on PS+ and couldn't even finish it. I thought the game was garbage.

 

[Samrf89]

let's just keep playing the same games over and over and over. let's keep perpetuating the soulless, devoid-of creativity-or-ideas, greedy, dead-eyed gaming industry. let's just keep fucking doing it.

christ in hell some of you are fucking dumb.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

We literally have a 1800p 60fps release. The hell we need another remaster?

 

[Doctor Hades]

The PS5 remake will no doubt include the vast amount of next gen improvements:

• Instant load time
• Ray-tracing
• 4k60fps
• Higher texture resolution
• Better 3D models
• Better lightings & shadows
• Better visual effects
• DualSense Haptic Feedback
• DualSense Adaptive Triggers support
• DualSense gyroscope support
• 3D Audio
• More accessibility options
• Bug fixes

Assuming it cost $70.

Personally I can’t wait.

... but still ultimately the exact same game... so, no, thanks.

 

[Interfectum]

 

[Deleted member 471617]

I passed on The Last of Us Part 1 remaster and will do so here. No reason for me to buy this game which will most likely be $70 when I already completed it years ago.

 

[Spukc]

I miss a fuck no option in the OP

If it's a free upgrade for us that already own the game, then I am in! Not that I would play it again

 

[Ogbert]

No.

 

[Quantum253]

That's a no for me.
I can see someone picking up the "definitive" edition if they've never played the original.
However, the story/game mechanics/fights aren't enough to pay $70 for only visual and performance upgrades. For me, Horizon was/is a one play through game and not worth going back.

 

[Akuji]

this would be a yes from me. but whenever its pretty cheap. like 15-20€ max or second hand.

 

[remember_spinal]

Unless they include a glider im never playing this game again

 

[Haggard]

No

 

[Camreezie]

Don't really want to encourage this sort of thing tbh.

Precedent was set with TLOU

 

[TheGecko]

Imagine wasting time making this instead of making something new?

Mind you, they know their market audience really well don't they. #milking

Will it have uncapped vrr support?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I'll be getting the VR game and HFW DLC, but not going back to HZD.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

This is a silly question.

Of course, most here won't buy it, because they probably already played it on PS4 and it's too young to warrant a remaster anyway.

That said, for players who never played it on PS4 and bought a PS5, then it will be the definitive version for them.

I'm not gonna lie, I do think Sony is dumb for remastering this, if true. A free PS5 patch would have garnered Sony a lot better PR. That said, I'm not naive enough to think there isn't a market for it.... I'm clearly not part of that market. But it does exist.

 

[kyliethicc]

It's going to be a native PS5 app like all their games are getting. They will add the lighting, textures, shaders, I/O features, haptics, etc, to bring it up to HFW levels.

My bet, if they have a multiplayer element as well, it will be accessible from either game, just like UC4/LL with their multiplayer and $10 native PS5 app if you own the previous one.

Yup. The Horizon Online game is def standalone, but it could sold bundled too idk.

Seems like a similar thing could be done with The Last of Us. Two story games, and an online game.

Yeah, and you're the fucking problem with this trend bru.

 

[playsaves3]

It's already 60fps on PS5

I’d like to see an uncapped vrr mode like forbidden west though

 

[Beechos]

Hell no. Game is good but not a classic by any means and is also fairly modern. Gow of war triogy remake on the other hand.

Hope it is announced like you said. Not because I want it, but for the entertainment these forums would bring

 

[Schorschi]

I think all the time, why? So it is a no for me

 

[playsaves3]

Yes of course, I love games that are specifically coded and built for the PS5 and this is no different. I got the game and finished it 5 years ago and go my moneys worth and I’d be happy to pay for it again and play it with enhancements.

However I hope it’s more open than the previous game as in if a ps5 pro released it wouldn’t need patching or anything and would run at higher fidelity etc, thus removing the need To remaster again in the future

That’s the only reason I’m cool with this it better have uncapped vrr support in all modes

 

[playsaves3]

Nah, you can tell the game could use some work on the cutscenes and animations, but I'm good.

Remember, Sony remastered Spider-man 2018. It's all about how Jimbo is gonna handle this. Horizon Collection (Remaster + MP + FW)? Who knows

That last part is also why I’m likely not buy it

 

[YukiOnna]

Good god no. The meaning of Remaster & Remake will be lost at this rate.
Not even if it's $10 as this should be a free update.

 

[playsaves3]

Won’t be 4K60. More like maybe 1440P or 1800P 60.

Cards weaker than the ps5 can do 4k 60 in this game maybe if they target max settings they won’t do 4k 60

 

[Crayon]

Heck no I liked that game and it was fuckin looooong. Same for the second one. I'm horizoned out till 3 comes out.

 

[bentanchorbolt]

No lmao. Like zero percent chance. If this was the PC those changes would be free patches ffs.

 

[Max_Po]

I would like to say NO

but my answer is HELL FUCKING NO

 

[Foilz]

Absolutely NOT. I played it for 2 hours and then was bored out of my mind.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

only as an upgrade for 10 dollars.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Hopefully they'll start making the remasters at the same time as the original game so they can get them out faster. I'm thinking in a couple of years:

Launch:
Standard Edition
Enhanced Edition (w/ cosmetic items)
Ultra Edition (cosmetic items, season pass and a horrible plastic statue).

9 months later:
Game of the year Edition- priced as Enhanced Edition but includes season pass

14 months from launch, announce remaster.

18 months after launch: now with (lower case: dynamic) 4k (!) And 120fps (1080p) mode. Doesn't include season pass.

Only works for single format games, nobody cares about games that are multiplatform.

 

[reinking]

No. I have played it before. However, if I had not played it, I would definitely wait for the remaster.

 

[MayauMiao]

No not even if I have a PS5. I'm not giving Sony money to encourage more remasters of last gen games.
