Literally nobody was complaining about how Aloy looked in the remaster. 1 incel complained about her “beard” from the tech demos for the PS5 version of FW, but there’s been zero noise about how she looks in this re-release. People were complaining that it didn’t need a remaster, considering more people play PS4 than PS5 and the PS4 version still looks fantastic.
I don’t think it’s really that bad, because it enables them to sell the upgrade for $10 without just being a steep discount path for new purchases.
I’d much rather previous owners be able to upgrade for $10 than new buyers be able to get it for $20. Funding a remaster on new customers instead of double dipping is way more fair, and price conscious customers can still likely find used physical copies cheap.
Shhhh… Don’t let everyone else know how cheap you can get physical PS4/5 games for (not even just used, but new games on sale too)
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Complete Edition has gone for less than 20 at GameStop, Best Buy, or Amazon (or all three) on sale. There are ways to find the lowest price a game has ever been…
My (non-)issue is more with the fact that she looks too polished for a character that exists in a post-apocalyptic world. Both her clothes and some facial characteristics, like the perfect eyebrows.
This game is already great IMO. It really doesn’t need a remaster.
I mean, that’s a problem with the original as well. But it’s not because you live in a primitive way that you can’t take care of your appearance, if anything prehistoric people were already shaving themselves and styling their bodyhair for dozens of thousands of years before writing was even a thing. If you want more realistic characterization then give her sunburnt and rough skin, callouses on her hand, scars on her limbs, that sort of thing…
How about “if your game received a backwards compatibility patch that makes it look better for the current geberation, your remaster is coming in too early”
I noticed the announcement trailer doesn’t even show any footage of the original, which makes it the only remaster trailer I think I’ve ever seen that doesn’t do a split screen or other comparison at some point.
And the first thing they mention is new Spatial Audio and haptic triggers. It’s like selling a new car and bragging about the cup holders first.
Thanks to Sony the prices for videogame hardware and software keeps getting up. Something that never happened before in the history of videogames. At least not by a large main console competitor in the gaming market.
Quite a few people appear to be playing this game and its sequel for the photo mode, which isn’t surprising, given that the gameplay is nothing special, contrary to the visuals.
In order for Sony to sell the game again and a PS5 (or PS5 Pro) to you - or at least, in a couple of years, the remaster to those who bought the original PC port. There are still about twice as many PS4 than PS5 consoles due to a lack of both exclusives and actual reasons to switch over to the newer system. It doesn’t help that more and more people are realizing that one should replace any mention of “the economy” in the media with “rich people’s yacht money”, given how little average people are benefiting from it anymore, which means disposable income is down. The PS4, despite being almost 11 years old now and still relying on a mechanical HDD (unless you upgrade it), is simply “good enough” in the eyes of many. Microsoft has the same issue, of course, except from a much weaker position in the market. The law of diminishing returns makes newer consoles a hard sell.
At the same time, PC gaming is highly accessible, PC hardware is lasting longer for gaming than ever before (in large part due to the longevity of the previous console generation keeping hardware requirements of most multiplatform games in check) and now that former exclusives are finding their way over at a reliable pace, there are fewer reasons for those that are primarily playing on PC to get a console just for the exclusives. As fantastic as Astrobot looks and as much as I appreciate the return of the classic 3D platformer with physics and shiny new graphics, it won’t make me purchase a PS5 any time soon or ever.
Sony is still producing both PS4 and PS4 Pro (whereas Microsoft discontinued both Xbox One consoles four years ago; they are still supporting the previous gen though), games are still being developed for them, despite first party studios having switched over to PS5 by now. Third party developers who were once happy about the low number of hardware variations they had to deal with now have to handle up to nine different systems if they want to release a game on all currently supported games consoles (ten when Switch 2 comes out) - plus PC and Steam Deck, which might just as well be another console as far as developers are concerned. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen cross-gen games that aren’t just yearly sports titles being made for this long into a new generation at such a large scale. We certainly haven’t had such a wide variety of systems since the early home computer era, even if their architectures and capabilities are much more similar now than they were back then.
Is it just me, or the fabric in the the shirt look better in the old model? At least in that screenshot it looks more like something that was handmade Vs the remake model (look at the end of the sleeves for example)
