I love the Horizon series so much that I’ve purchased this upgrade on both PC and PS5 and plan to finish it on PC in the week before the Pro comes out and finish it again on there. Looks amazing. Thanks for the video.
@@rangokfunkazuul8344he didn’t say it was the first one if its kind. He just said it needs a name. You did not say the name it got for diablo 2 or metroid?
Ikr...In remastered you have few graphical enhancements/ frame rate and resolution bump...but here they've put 'Remake' ish amount of work ngl...I also used to think what if Zero Dawn had Forbidden West style graphics and here we are ! A few more hours to go, can't wait to revisit the game again.
I don’t think anyone said that this was a bad upgrade, just not a needed one since it already looks beautiful on the ps4 and has the ps5 patch. People are mad because games that truly requires a remaster and/or remake such as days gone, bloodborn, infamous and various others haven’t gotten it but games that are already a technical achievement on the base ps4 and runs at a locked 60 fps like last of us 2, zero dawn are getting it. Games like days gone and assassin creeds unity that didn’t perform well due to the hardware limitations needs a ps5 remaster more than anything but that’s just my food for thought
This might be the first PS4 to PS5 remaster where the difference is actually very noticeable and a marked improvement. Certainly looks like it's worth 10 bucks if you haven't played the original in a while.
@Cthulhu8762 Last of Us Part 1 is a PS3 game, so the jump for that one is less impressive. Plus that was a full price game, even if you owned the original and the PS4 remaster.
This upgrade is a graphical improvement across the board which is great, but I do feel like some of Zero Dawn’s unique artstyle was not properly translated into the PS5 version. The comparison at 2:17 is the most glaring example. It’s really cool that they improved the visuals and the NPC interactions, but I’m gonna stick to the original, especially because it has 60 fps anyway now.
I was wondering about that. I mean, it's a completely different time of day so I feel like we need a better comparison. Especially since, I believe?, you can select the time of day by resting somewhere. For that scene specifically they should have lined up the weather and sunset because otherwise it looks completely different and I do love me a good Horizon sunset.
lol there is NO WAY you're showing me a 30fps version and want me to believe it shows better than a 60fps version , no matter the -not so big - differences in resolutions. 60fps ALWAYS.
I thought I was going crazy reading some of these comments, my brain was straight away thinking the PS4 looked better. xD They should do a comparison of the PC versions, that would be truly interesting.
I would have preferred 150+ fps and the PC version, but this video isn't about that. Framerate aside, this is about comparing the graphics between the versions, not how well it plays at higher framerates. You can tell this by the fact there isn't a moment in it that features combat.
Guerilla is most likely never going to work on Killzone ever again I don’t think they really liked it. Zero dawn also sold more copies then every Killzone game ever combined
wdym, isn't this video enough for you to see all the changes and improvements that have been made? fps have nothing to do with the realism and graphics
@ digital foundry says there are quality and performance modes that target 30 and 60 fps. What we are saying here is that the ps5 footage of the remaster seems to be quality mode, which to many people is not the mode they want to use cause of the 30 fps ( th-cam.com/video/yNkC2BOaboM/w-d-xo.html&si=md7jEA2OjfHB_s8A )
I feel that remastering games that are less then 10 years old, when there are so many older classics that should have already been remastered or even remaked,makes me a bit sad..
Well, Sony and Guerilla hired Nixxes to work on this game so it is in line with the sequel graphically. Did it take away resources from Sony or Guerilla to do so? No. Keep wishin'.
@@minbari73 im 40 years, been playing such other great classics, do you look at horizon zero dawn og and did you felt "oh this game is not pretty enough, it feels old?"... My opinion if they want to remaster do so but sony could allways look into games they launch way before this game, its my opinion.
This comparison definitely should match time of day a lot better if possible. Other than that it's obvious I will never touch the original again. Just an absurdly huge update to the visuals and sound.
While the Remaster looks visually better and just as good as the sequel, something about the asthetic of the original's visuals resonate with me more, because that's how I remember playing the game for the first time and absolutely loving it.
Yeahhhhhhh, that’s gonna be a no from me dawg. I like the way the colors look on the PS4 version better. Of all the games that are needing remakes: Horizon, Until Dawn, and TLoU were not it.
This comparison was really cool and really showed the difference between the two games. That being said, I feel like it would have been better if the time of day had been better lined up so the comparisons could have been more 1:1. Sometimes it's impossible to truly see the upgrade because it's mid-afternoon in one game and ultra red sunset in the other, for example. Do we get those stunning colorful sunsets in the Remaster?
Brought the complete edition 2 days ago on the ps4. Installed it onto the ps5 started playing and now the remastered version is out shouldn't I be able to upgrade that for $10 dollars? Or am I missing something? The game is at full price. $75 dollars as I'm in Australia hmmm can anyone help please
Looks the same we need more games I'm tired of these graphics comparisons we peaked at PS4 nothing is major bro ...you need 4x the horsepower for a slight difference just stop, back from PS1 - 2 that was leap 2-3 another leap 3-4 that was the final step we looking at tiny details nothing revolutionary so hooked on minor graphics that there's no more games to make coz all we care about is another pixel and a little light 😂
looks good. the problem is this game's story is it's most interesting aspect and now that I'm familiar with it I have no desire to play anymore. I didn't even finish forbidden west because I just didn't really care about the characters
Though these remakes are quite impressive as a whole performance wise but remastering the PS3 games would be such a crazy idea and that would really make sense.
@minbari73 Yes why not, Nathan Drake Trilogy should be remastered for the newer audiences who have not played this PS classic, The Arkham Trilogy, The mass effect Trilogy, The OG red dead redemption, MSG 4 Guns of the patriot and many more
You know who has to be pissed off about this game? George Lucas. He added new dialogue, new npcs in the villages, change the visuals with updated techniques to make it feel more like its sequels. And everyone hated him. But here everyone loves it and can't wait for Sony to take their money.
Amazing comparison with its sequel's menu background music every aspect of remaster is perfect except one little thing that is i want focus from forbidden west as the triggering sound of focus is more ear catchy for me the zero dawn and also focus view of forbidden west is more eye catching then zero dawn s focus version because this remaster is now almost on the same level of forbidden west so not just the graphical implementation is from forbidden west some other littel details should be implemented from forbidden west to this zero dawn remastered otherwise the ui, characters and camera settings+character movement and conversation are best now.
I think the way to play is quality mode with 40fps.... im very interesting to see it on ps5 pro mode. If i had a pro then go on max fidelity with 40 fps.then u have a masterpiece
Looks awesome. I'm all for it but there are a lot of people that don't even want to pay full price of a game. They want to wait till it goes on sale. So for a remaster those type of people are even going to be worse about it. In my eyes if you live the game you will pay for it. If not then there not going to want to spend the price of a game/remaster
Didn’t need remaking, hopefully this flops so Sony get off this remake remastering shit. It’s sad what PlayStation have become under Hulst’s watch, this PS5 generation is without question Sony’s worst. 🤢
It won’t flop and Sony will keep making remakes. It’s all apart of the industry. There’s been quite a few new IP’s like Returnal but ppl just want to focus on the negatives

This goes way beyound a remaster. Check out Shadows of the Damned remaster to see how little can be done to call it a remaster. Very disappointed in Shadows that is a cash grab for sure. This Horizon remaster is the way they all should be done cough Bloodbourne cough.
@@mythicalgnome2527 Are you sure? For example at 01:57 the building ruins are much better. You can see the individual rocks, the leaves on it, the yellow trees on the right behind much crispier and the light is much stronger at ps4. Look better.
Bs Edit : This was my first open world game ever back in 2017 I Purchased in February and was forever left with an amazing impression on this game , it’s one of my favorites . This didn’t need a remaster The only reason my remake station 5 is getting love is silent hill 2 and stellar blade ….

Do you think this graphical revamp is worth the upgrade fee? 🤔

NO...

Absolutely, this game sold 23 million copies for a reason.
If every remastered gets this type of treatment, I'll pay $10 for all of them.
for 10$ absolutely
The gaming community needs to create a term for this: this is not remake nor a remaster. This is a REMAKESTER
It already exists tho (kinda), used for Diablo II or Metroid Prime R

If it was set on Mars, you could call it a "Re-Mars-ter".
It’s ridiculous that people legitimately claimed this was only a minor improvement over OG. Wtf
Tbf they did a terrible job with the marketing
People always say that no matter how wrong they are.

@ it is a PS3 game but the remake on PS5 is much better than the PS4 “HD Remaster”
This is gonna be the first game I'm going to play on PS5 Pro
Same, can't wait
I want to mess around in the the Demon's Souls Pro upgrade
The background effects in remaster feel so much more alive
Now that’s what I call a remaster
They clearly put alot of work in to this remaster, its leaning into remake territory
10 bucks is more than reasonable, plus Sony had already given this game free to download for everyone back February 2021.
Exactly. I have the original HZD, so the $10 upgrade to remaster is more than reasonable for me to get this
Got the game for free back when they gave it away during Covid, so worth the 10$ upgrade

I just replayed the original like a week before they announced the remaster. I won't be playing it for a long time
They worked with the original artist of the first game on the changes. They have all been approved by the OG art team, new one is better.
You would be incorrect. It's not the same time of day, and there's a sandstorm impacting the view. There is no "lost in translation" situation.
It's only $10 lol

This is going to be the perfect remaster out of all the games that have been remastered this one is perfect
Would of preferred a remake of Killzone. A PS2 to PS5 graphical leap would of been more impressive.
I agree big time but sadly it's never gonna happen.
Yeah but that would cost actual effort and would not be a simple cashgrab like $ony is used to do
@@HB-mj2jzdam so your saying sony doesnt do big planned out cash grabs? They only do the minimal effort simple cash grabs. Thats a new take.
Guerilla is most likely never going to work on Killzone ever again I don’t think they really liked it. Zero dawn also sold more copies then every Killzone game ever combined
Why don't you compare 60 fps mode PS4 vs 60 fps mode PS5? This comparison doesn't mean much.
wdym, isn't this video enough for you to see all the changes and improvements that have been made? fps have nothing to do with the realism and graphics
@hortitol you don't know what you're talking about. Graphic settings are lowered in 60fps mode
Agreed, the remaster footage seems to be 30fps which would mean quality mode. Playing 30fps to get these improvements would be a downgrade

Totally paying $10 for the upgrade, much more honest paying for the upgrade than paying full price for a "new game"
This is a message to every game developer/studios. This is how you should remaster a game
This comparison definitely should match time of day a lot better if possible. Other than that it's obvious I will never touch the original again. Just an absurdly huge update to the visuals and sound.
So the game is now set on planet Earth rather than on Mars
that transition at 1:04 is insane 🤯
Game was stunning and looks even more amazing..im ready to play this again
Shame the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition weren't given the same treatment 😅
Wow. I didn't expect THAT big of a difference. That is impressive.

It was looking nice before, now it’s looking wonderful! A masterpiece of a game!
The lighting, water, and conversation character animations have definitely been improved significantly. I think it definitely merits the $10 upgrade.
Yeahhhhhhh, that’s gonna be a no from me dawg. I like the way the colors look on the PS4 version better. Of all the games that are needing remakes: Horizon, Until Dawn, and TLoU were not it.
Until Dawn no, HZD is arguable. TLoU, most definitely. Just not by that studio.
Remake not Remaster
It's not a remake
Yeah looks great but what I am more hyped about is that the characters won’t move like cheap animatronics in conversations anymore !

Could've lined up the shadows and time of day better with photomode.
I'm here hoping they didn't fix a certain exploit that lets you get a very good item early in the game.
$10 is a reasonable price for an upgrade? Heck yes.
Does it have gyro aiming now like forbidden west?
Happy about this. I much preferred Zero Dawn over Forbidden West. This upgrade is great.
I've upgraded as for £10 it wasn't bad price to play it in best way BUT PS4 version still looks amazing. Especially on ps5 back compat

Actually a very solid upgrade, just a shame that the resources poured into this weren't poured into literally anything else.
So knack remaster instead?
If I have the original downloaded digitally to my account, do I still get the new one for $10
looks good. the problem is this game's story is it's most interesting aspect and now that I'm familiar with it I have no desire to play anymore. I didn't even finish forbidden west because I just didn't really care about the characters
Looks nice but I'm very particular to the original look. Besides the water look and vegetation collision
Tbh I like the ambiance from the old one more, but details in new are good enough.
Damn I still think this is like one step behind Forbidden West but looks absolutely fantastic.
imagina the witcher 3 in this graphics would be epic
Great remaster for someone who hasn't played the game yet, but no way I'd pay full price for this to play the same game again
It's 10 dollars for people that already own the game so they wouldn't be paying full price.
Did they change the Controll too? , I started first forbidden west befor zero dawn.

How? It ran it @ 30fps - most low end pc's can do the same. People acting like games running poorly on old hardware is a miracle or something.
