So glad I own the original on steam, no way I'm ever getting a game that requires an extra account

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 hours ago

Enshittification of the past

If you own the original it's only $10. Still not clear that it's worth $10 though.

This remaster is pointless. It's a remaster of a game from 2017.

I would love HZD on PC but fuck the PSN requirement. As long as Sony keeps trying to monetize the player's info via PSN they will lose business. Why can't companies be happy when we buy their game? Why do they have to steal info from the players now?

The OG version is still on GoG! Includes all of the original DLC but none of the new PSN bull.

They removed the OG version. Who didn't have the PSN requirement.

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 hours ago

It’s still on GoG!

Sony and completely unnecessary PSN login requirements. Name a more iconic duo.

Theres a remaster for this game? What could you possibly remaster so soon? Its still new

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 15 points 8 hours ago

They redid her face, tons of lighting across the gameworld, and re-recorded tons of voice acting. I think maybe they also redid some motion capture. The original faces and animations were memorably pretty awkward. I read a bit from a developer suggesting they learned lots about what they would have done differently, so they did that.

As a huge fan of the original though, I'm hesitant to ever touch this since they changed so much. It'll feel like some ripoff or something. I find the original a gem, with flaws and all. Every game has flaws, and that's okay.

It feels like those creators who can't just leave their music or movies as it was and keep fucking with it.

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 hours ago

I do think the voice acting is god awful in a lot of places in the original.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

This was a George Lucas move for sure. I feel like these issues described here could possibly have been an update instead of a complete rerelease? At least the animations could have. I wouldnt be willing to buy this game again had I bought it only seven years ago. I bought some indie games around the same length of time ago and I'm still playing those. Shit, Rain World is getting a new DLC next year and its about the same age.

[-] stardust@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

That's how I was with Spiderman. Played through the entire game with the original face so that is the Peter Parker I associate with the first game. Little interest in the remaster as a result.

I'm in this comment and I don't like it.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 4 points 10 hours ago

I don't think it needs a remaster considering how good the game still looks, but it's 7 years old now. That's not exactly "new" anymore.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 11 points 8 hours ago

Graphic power and displays didn't significantly evolve since then, gameplay mechanics neither, so the experience is still good.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

The lifespan of a game is much longer than it used to be. Games no longer look or feel out of date the following year. Roblox is 20 years old, Minecraft came out in 2009. Seven years is really not that long to be getting a remaster. Shit a Killzone could probably use a remaster before any of the Horizons.

[-] drdiddlybadger@pawb.social 55 points 11 hours ago

Remastering a game that isn't even that old just seems weird.

[-] telllos@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

It's like they don't want to release new games.

[-] drdiddlybadger@pawb.social 10 points 9 hours ago

New Games? That's risk we can't have that. Gotta have a sure thing or investors will revolt!

[-] telllos@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I'm still a bit salty that naughty dog hasn't announced anything yet

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 16 points 11 hours ago

I'm playing it now, I haven't noticed any serious glitches. Also, the game asked me to sign-in to the Playstation Network when I first started it up, I said "nope" and it hasn't bothered me since.

Edit: Ok, scratch the part about not running into glitches. Just within the past five minutes the right trigger has stopped registering twice and I've had to restart the game to get it to come back.

[-] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 hours ago

Good to know you can just nope the PSN login. I haaaate games requiring accounts for single-player experiences, but if you can just say no, I don't resent them asking as much.

[-] Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 12 hours ago

Yeah.... Pass.
