Rules:
It's also a remaster of a game that aged very well in my opinion and didn't really need a facelift.
100%
So many people defending this, is insanity. $10 is still $10, which I'll save to put into a different game.
See, I used to be against remasters and remakes too but nowadays it’s like, yeah, whatever. Either I already have played the game and don’t care about a remaster or don’t care about said game or will play it in a few years at which point the remaster will come in handy.
If this was released halfway through the PS6 life I wouldn't have complained. Releasing it now is just greedy and lazy.
Sony still releasing games on PS4. Still remasters PS4 game.
I'm on the side that a remaster of a PS4 gen game dumb, but HZD was always the butt of the joke in regard to those awful generic bobblehead animations during every single dialog. It was laughably bad. With the reveal trailer, it does make a pretty big difference. Everything else? Not so much.
If this had been a PC game all along, these animation overhaul would have been a patch of the original game, but since the trailer insists that they re-recorded all motion captures for the dialogs of the whole game, they get to sell it full price again.
HFW was so much worse for conversation animations.
I genuinely don't understand it, the game itself is gorgeous.
Glad the complete edition on GOG is spared from this bullshit, and I hope GOG pushes hard against this kind of stuff on their store.
There was a lot of noise surrounding GOG a few months back about something like that. GOG was going in that direction but had to pull back/remove the game(?) to due backlash.
There was Hitman in 2021 that caused some backlash

Hmm, I thought it was more recent, but it sounds about right!
I agree with that stance, if a game doesn't work when the service is pulled or if the system is offline, then it doesn't belong on GOG.
Yeah, it's why I always choose GOG over Steam when I have a choice, even if it costs slightly more.
Don't buy this or you're just letting Sony know this shit is okay. If you absolutely must play it:
Pass.
🤦♂️ Sony being Sony.
I'm in the middle of a play-through right now.
Is this going to boot me? Can I block the game from being upgraded? Or is remastered a new SKU?
There's no way they're giving you an "upgrade" for free. Don't worry, as long as you don't pay for it, you're not getting the new version.
Anyone know if this affects its ability to be played on steam deck?
