Uhh, now I gotta play this game again
Looks decent but completely pointless, of all the games they could remaster they chose a game that has aged very well graphically, why not make a remaster of a game that need it and isn't easily available like a ps2 or ps3 game
Guerrilla Games at the top of their game with these remasters. Great stuff Nick930!
Are you going to do a comparison video between Stalker 2 release and "Strider trailer" (2023) and/or E3 2021 trailer? Thanks and keep up the great work!!!
They definitely made Aloy's face chubbier. There's absolutely no denying it now when you see the same scene side by side.
Remastered? Wasn't this game called modern Crysis when it-
"First released in 2017"
…
Now was this remaster needed… No there many sony exclusive that is locked in ps2 and ps3 and more worthy then this
I grabbed the $10 upgrade, it wasn't a bad deal because I really enjoyed the original game on PS4. If I had to re-buy it at full price then I would pass.
Why did they have to ruin Aloy's face structure in the remaster though
Music? 0:59
I loved this remastered, REALLY worth It for the 10$ price of the upgrade. Now, I like to see one of your comparisons between Zero Dawn Remastered and Forbidden West.
and there are people who continue playing skyrim lol
Its a good remaster but its to early ,I prefer ps1 remasters or remakes
Mwa was planning to do a replay of Zero Dawn on PS5 with 60fps anywayz (last time I played was almost 7 1/2 years ago on PS4) and for only 10 euro upgrade price why not. Good time to get through the story again before starting LEGO Horizon Adventures 😃
I think Aloy is now so much more masculine. I liked and find her far more feminine and attractive in first part.
Upgrade seems pointless. But good for Nick930, I enjoy his content a lot
Still kinda mixed on this. Like on one hand it's certainly looks different. However, I still feel it was unnecessary. While still outdated in some areas, the old game still looked modern enough where it could've easily gotten by without a remaster.
Is the PS5 generation all about remasters and remakes
Upgrade for 10 bucks and you get a free PSN account requirement.. Pass
This is one of my favorite games but artistically this remake just doesnt look nearly as good as the original too me😅
The biggest downgrade to this remaster is Aloy herself, she looked more feminine in the original, now in the remaster she looks chubbier and more masculine.
I bought it immediately. It's on the visual level of the sequel in many ways and I got the game for free back then so I would rather support this new release, which is also cheap as hell.
Can you show us your current PC build?
This is tough for me. I actually like the look of the original better, almost half of the time. 😂
Last comment got deleted. Stop promoting this abhorrent behaviour nick930.
Is it Just me or does Nick930 voice sound a bit different?
ooh i’ve been looking waiting for this one
jfc
It's looks great! Is ot just a $10 dollar upgrade? I may consider it.
unnecessary remaster
I feel like the upgrades are way less noticeable in Meridian, unfortunately. Probably because it uses a whole bunch of different assets they would have had to redo completely.
2:46 I actually prefer this scene on the left more colors aren't as washed out
When you said ''PC'' you lost me
This game must be compared only on console, since original artistic things can be observe only in OG game, not PC port
Well, back to 4 hours of Prince of Persia video 🙂
Anyway, do I really need those hair on Aloys cheek? Will I ever look up closely her face? Or do I need extra animation during the dialogues? I'm not on acid trip to have this amount of sharpness in almost every way possible, without even talking about oversaturated colors. Unless, you are a freaking robot or was born in a test tube to swallow this crap and call it a great. Peace out
Ok, what the hell this is actually a decent remake, the dialogue animations alone already make it much more sophisticated. Guerilla is just that good isn't it?
Not buying it that soon tho, just played the original.
Yt also wants to contribute to sound comparison by picking a perfect timing for ads. Not
I thought the original version looked good until I played the Remaster lol
One thing i dont like is the jank hasnt been fixed, and ive even expirenced way more glicthes than the original, im kinda disappointed
Possible to switch to fpp while in battle?
If u never owned the original and just bought a ps5 it’s a worthwhile remaster
Just like the last of us part one remake, this game did not need a remaster. Going from horizon on PS4 to the PC port is enough of an upgrade. The original game looks SO GOOD on PC already.
Does it look better than forbidden west?
I love how they updated the virtual lighting from CRI 70 to 95. 🙂
