Yeah it's a false dichotomy to act like it's either remakes or else devs get fired. There's plenty of other smaller projects GG could do
Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition leaving PS+ Extra May 21st (Remake/Remaster incoming?)
- Thread starter Dest
- Start date
People will buy it.
Like big movie studios, big game studios just seem content with playing it safe.
Can't say I blame them with the inflated cost of production.
Not like it's leaving the PSN store or whatever. It'll go on sale eventually too, now if it were being delisted with no way to get it then I'd understand, also let's not get console picky here Xbox has its fair of stupid stuff too when it comes to digital stuff, it's just not Sony. Also, if they can "remaster" The Last of Us 2 with just some stuff added into it then Horizon can get a re-release too but if it's a remake with more stuff that we don't know about then that's great too, it's all a matter of how Guerilla executes this.
No, they'll charge us 80$ for it. Hence pulling out the "free" version.
Bloodborne remake when?
This is no TLoU, I doubt it will sell that well.
Going by those reports, it wasn't very far along at all. It wasn't even greenlit. I don't think that was a serious attempt at cross-media synchronicity.
HZD remaster this year
HZD Complete next year for PS5 Pro
HZD Deathbringer edition in 2026 when TV show is released
I just wonder what the version will be called when its remastered again for the PS6

I think this will be day-and-date on PC btw. They did the same for the Uncharted 4/Lost Legacy remaster, and the TLOU Part 1 Remake released on PC just a couple months after PS5, mainly due to the port not being ready (evidently).
I'll laugh my balls off if this is a separate release for PC and not just a patch for the PC port the game got years ago. Releasing a PC port of a PS4 game, and then 4 years later releasing a remaster of it on PC too would genuinely make me laugh. It's like releasing a PS5 remaster of a PS5 game.
Yeah, it really depends on if we have a remaster here, or a proper remake. AFAIK we don't know that for sure yet.
If it's just a remaster, then maybe they don't even release it on PC at all. If it's a remake that brings HZD on the level of HFW for example, then it's a different story.
This was part of the PS5's PS4 collection right? So if you redeemed from that you have it in PS Plus indefinitely?
Just checked the document in which it leaked, and it's named a Remaster with no mention of a PC release
Ah ok, so probably just brining the benefits of the PC version over to PS then.Just checked the document in which it leaked, and it's named a Remaster with no mention of a PC release
Do you understand the difference in resources needed for a smaller game or even a DLC over a remaster/remake? It's not even in the same ballpark.
I think on Gamepass you can play the original Gears of War backwards compatible and also the remake/remaster. I just like having the sub with every first party acessible and the different platforms/versions. I'm not just console warring because it's honestly one of the reasons I got on the Xbox platform.
With remasters, sure, but I don't see how that's the case with games that are remade from the ground up. Last of Us Part 1 for some reason even made new concept art instead of using the original one
Last of Us Part 1 still used the same story, level design, voice actors, and mocap. The best example I can think of is the difference in resources between Spider-Man remastered and Spider-Man Miles Morals.
I'm sure some of that is residual effects of the COVID pandemic (development stalled in some areas, so remasters/remakes can fill the void), but this is a year where they've released Helldivers II, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, and another MLB The Show.
All in all, the quality has been superb, which isn't including their third party partnerships such as FF7: ReBirth.
It wasn't part of the PS Plus Collection. But I think it was available for free for a limited time only as part of a Play at Home promotion.
Even a 10 dollar upgrade with a $50 remastered edition is a halfway decent way to bring in more revenue for a studio that really only has single player games out on the market.
This likely has almost no impact on Horizon 3 which is probably a 2027 project.

I'm more hoping it'll be bringing it at least on Forbidden West's level.
GG already dropped an extremely content heavy game this generation with solid DLC and top tier visuals.
And tons of PS4 games got PS5 upgrades. This is really no different.
They're actively developing many new games and their studio count has grown significantly this generation.
As their business continues to operate under slim margins, remasters are pretty basic ways to keep teams engaged while bringing in revenue.
Spider-Man remaster is still largely a remaster though. And while Last of us part 1 reuses the same story etc. it's still a full length game whereas something like Miles Morales is shorter and reuses the map from Spiderman 1. It wouldn't surprise me if the budget of those two is in the same ballpark
Honestly, I'd only really be interested if they've gone back and done proper face and motion capture to update all the animations, both body and facial, in the cutscenes character dialogs, and updated the character models to make that possible. That's really where the game shows its age relative to HFW.
Unforunately, that would obviously be much harder to do with Sylens. :(
