Thanks to some reports, Sony recently announced a kind of remake or remaster from Horizon Zero Dawn2017 open world action adventure from Guerrilla Games.
This is not official informationsorry, but with multiple sources confirming this from various aspects, there doesn’t seem to be much doubt about the Japanese company’s plans.
Frankly, the internet has already taken over people torches and pitchforks to this news. Recall that the media’s view of the remake of The Last of Us Part I has been negative, at least in terms of the slice the public uses for commenting online. However, the situation seems to be even more serious when it comes to Horizon Zero Dawn.
Everything is clearly connected “ages” of their respective games. The Last of Us had the pretense of being a 2013 game born on PS3, at least to some. The remaster version of the PS4, playable on the PS5, pricked the conscience of many, but for others, the remake’s technological leap was enough to justify the operation.
Horizon Zero Dawn is a game instead. 2017. Assuming the rumored remake/remastering is coming in 2023, it would be just six years out of nine for The Last of Us. Also, since it was born on PS4, Zero Dawn Remake is unlikely to have a much higher graphics impact. The impression is that it will be the first game to feature Forbidden West graphics. It would be a lady of graphics that rank among the best in the current video game landscape as far as the open world is concerned, but aside from the characters’ faces and some animations, there wouldn’t be a real generation gap considering that Forbidden West is also running on PS4. .
It is undeniable that the operation will take place. not interesting For a certain segment of the public, but also for Sony, this is a really easy investment to approve. It’s not fair to oversimplify the conversation, but there’s a risk that the Zero Dawn remake would require taking “only” the graphics of the Forbidden West and applying it to the old episode, with no difference in gameplay or content. Of course, it wouldn’t be as tedious as making a real PS5 remake or even developing a new game (actually the new game in development).
So the question for many is: Is it wrong that this game exists? In fact, we gave the answer above: for many, this is wrong. We’ve seen instinctive reactions and people (figuratively) tearing their clothes. It’s exactly like in The Last of Us Part I, but they still don’t really understand the stress that such operations cause.
As someone likes to say: We can’t wait to ignore it and move on with our lives. Honestly, the author—while greatly appreciated the saga—wouldn’t have played the Zero Dawn remake even if it was free, because the Forbidden West is already in circulation and takes quite a long time to complete. Horizon isn’t exactly your typical game that you can play over and over again, and having a graphically revised version isn’t particularly interesting.
And please let’s not say that the reason Bloodborne hasn’t been brought to PS5 yet is because of the remake of Zero Dawn and The Last of Us. Things don’t work like that. Bloodborne hasn’t made it to the PS5 yet (“yet”, maybe it’s coming, maybe not) because it sold at most one-sixth of Zero Dawn and The Last of Us. It’s not coming because it’s not part of an epic and a TV special isn’t in the making.
And as long as you continue Buy GTA 5 and Skyrim For every platform available every three or four years, you can’t complain about a few remakes like those made by Sony.
Play what you want to play as long as you enjoy it and spend your money to finance projects, epics and development work that you want to develop. That’s the best way to tell Sony that the Horizon Zero Dawn remake is useless. And if the rest of the world doesn’t agree, we’re going to have to deal with that, and maybe a big thank you to Sony for missing out on other big productions, creating a gap and allowing us to save some of the games left behind. accumulation.
