Sony & Guerrilla Games recently announced Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and if you're wondering how it compares to the original, read ahead.
Wild Arms 4 joins PlayStation Plus Premium.
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered will be available to PS5 players, and Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition will be available to PS4 players to download.
As part of Sony’s legal assault on Tencent’s rip-off Light of Motiram title, the company’s revealed that Horizon’s franchise sales have topped 38 million units worldwide.
We last got word of the Guerrilla series’ commercial performance in April 2023, when the platform holder confirmed that the franchise had sold through 32.7 million units. This updated number means it’s added another five million units to its tally in the two years since.
and people wonder why sony wants to do a multiplayer title and released a lego game. the franchise is massive.
It's the SP games that got them to this. They let LEGO make a very lackluster game and are working on an MP game w/o news on future SP content. Companies shouldn't ignore how they got to be popular in the first place. Don't pull an Ubisoft.
Yeah. All they are doing is diluting the franchise so when the third main game comes out we'll be more fatigued.
They've done far too much with this franchise in such a short space of time, it should have just been the first game, a new IP, the second game, the new IPs sequel, the third game in the trilogy etc and when that's done THEN think of spin offs, TV shows, films, board games, VR titles and comics.
The core gameplay mechanics of horizon is really good so I can see this being a good MP game if done right.
I miss the days when MP were a part of the actual game. Now it's an either or situation 🫤
I think Lego was a big flop, which isn’t that bad.. i might try it when it releases on ps+
The second game was also given away for free one Christmas with every PS5 sold which inflated numbers. Horizon are good games if not the most generic when it comes to gameplay out of Sony's IPs
“Which inflated numbers” you don’t have evidence for that. At best, you’ve made a baseless assertion, as packaged in games don’t contribute a whole lot to overall sales anyway
Panic mechanic, of course either inflates numbers. Wii Sports is one of the most "sold" games of all time dispute being given as part of every Wii console sold. Every bundle game ever is considered a sold unit since forever.
Horizon is a polished, ubisoft game. If Sony didn't make it, no one would care. They are beautiful showcases with shallow gameplay.
Playstation writes: "Starting with tomorrow’s release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PC, we’re working to add more benefits to playing with an account for PlayStation Network. The Last of Us Part II Remastered (coming April 3, 2025), in addition to God of War Ragnarök and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, will all soon be adding in-game content unlocks for PlayStation Network account users.
An account for PlayStation Network will become optional for these titles on PC. Players who still opt to sign into a PlayStation Network account will also enjoy added benefits like trophies and friend management."
There's obviously some work done with character models and foliage but I thought the original looked better in a lot of scenes.
7.22 for how they changed her face.

Kinda liking the original in some scenes
IMHO, they shouldn't have remastered it and kept the original's style ... it has its own unique charm ... the first game was not build with the new lighting system in mind.
For PC players, since Nixxes is handling this time, the upgrade might be worth it purely from performance pov.
Looks great in many places & imho the original maintains its charm & still holds up, I’ll gladly play HZD remaster on base PS5 over HFW on the pro.
Now that $10 upgrade cost for owners of the original is the right way to do it.
It’s also the ultimate proof TLoU part 1 was never worth $70. Whoever bought it at that price that owned the original got scammed.
Remember, fooling someone is easy, what’s incredibly hard is for them to accept they’ve been fooled.
looks great!
