The Alchemist Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Article "Sources claim an update of the 2017 game is in development, along with a multiplayer spin-off. That’s according to a report by MP1ST, which VGC can corroborate via our own sources. "The updated version of the 2017 Guerrilla Games title will feature improved visuals to bring it up to par with this year’s sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, in the form of new character models, lighting and animations, it’s claimed. "In addition, it’s claimed the new version of Zero Dawn will add accessibility features, graphics modes and quality of life improvements to the gameplay itself. "In addition, the MP1ST report claims that Guerilla Games is currently working on a Horizon multiplayer game for PS5 and PC, which matches what VGC reported last year. "VGC understands that the studio has long intended to expand the Horizon series into the multiplayer space. Sources had previously told us that co-op was first planned for the original Horizon game but was ultimately scrapped so the development team could focus on other areas of the title. "Zero Dawn concept art that leaked online in 2014 – verified by VGC – even shows initial plans to have multiple players battle the game’s huge mechanical beasts, in a scenario similar to Capcom‘s Monster Hunter games. "Sources said that Sony had been keen to include co-op in the game’s sequel, Forbidden West, but Guerrilla decided to save the feature for a future project, which they believed would either be a standalone online spin-off, or Horizon 3." I wouldn't be surprised if this is true given the frequency at which Sony releases remasters/remakes. With a Horizon TV series also, well, on the horizon, I can definitely see them doing this as a way to garner fresh interest in the property closer to that show launching, but that's only speculation on my part. If you weren't a fan of this remaster/remake trend beforehand, then you won't be happy with this news, but keep in mind that you don't need to buy it! It won't stop other projects from being worked on and released. For people who are yet to play the game or perhaps want to revisit it, I'm sure this (if true) will be the best way to do so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helyx Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I'd prefer to see Guerilla work on a new IP. They've shown proficiency in FPS and open-world adventure games, let's see what else than can produce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JediKnight_327 Posted October 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2022 I'm not liking the pattern of Sony going back and changing stuff from how it was originally created. They've already messed with TLOU and spider-man character models, It comes across as unprofessional and disrespectful to the original team of designers and developers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1andonly654 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) If this is true and a remaster of HZD is coming... I wanna laugh, but it's kinda sad. Really? 5 year old game that I can just pop in my PS5 and play without issues, remastered? Seriously? I'll care about improved visuals when the original visuals will seem old the way 20 years old (at least) games seem visually outdated now. I have a feeling that this will become another game I once loved, but can't stand anymore because of all the milking.

Darling Baphomet Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 ... Why? Horizon Zero Dawn ran at a decent resolution at 60fps, which is more than I can say for Forbidden West. (And yes, they have fixed up performance mode a fair bit, but they did so using sharpening which causes its own host of problems.) I fail to see how much they could improve with a remaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Conor Posted October 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Oh boy, this thread is just destined to be a shitshow of negativity since that's what we all thrive on these days so here's a different take that shouldn't really be all that different but here we are: honestly I think a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster bringing it in line with the beauty of Forbidden West is a rad idea so long as it doesn't divert too many resources from new development (e.g. the multiplayer spinoff it literally says is also coming, DLC for Forbidden West is also probably on the way and have we already forgotten Call of the Mountain for PSVR2 is also coming?). No, it's not a necessary project (cue the echo chamber of "this isn't necessary") and I'd much favour new ideas but the way some YouTubers and gamers are acting based off a rumour you'd swear this was the gaming apocalypse.

They may have further improved the performance mode since I played it, but Forbidden West in many aspects looked worse than Horizon Zero Dawn in performance mode, e.g. massive resolution drops during cutscenes and constant flickering on foliage. If the 'remaster' simply allows the game to run at a native 4k and 60fps, fine, but one could very well argue that HZD does not need the ~beauty~ of Forbidden West.

Yeah it would appear to be the case, although not necessarily launching directly alongside each other. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection - Uncharted movie TLoU Part 1 - HBO series next year Rumoured Twisted Metal project - Twisted Metal show launching on Peacock Potential HZD remaster - HZD Netflix show 14 minutes ago, Stan Lee said: No, it's not a necessary project (cue the echo chamber of "this isn't necessary") and I'd much favour new ideas but the way some YouTubers and gamers are acting based off a rumour you'd swear this was the gaming apocalypse. This is how I tend to view the situation. No, these remasters/remakes typically aren't necessary, but at the end of the day nobody is being forced to buy them and if you do happen to be interested in them but don't want to pay the expected €/$70 launch price then waiting for a sale is always an option. I've never understood why people get so up in arms about remasters, not just recent PlayStation remasters, but remasters in general even going back to the PS4 generation. I genuinely enjoy revisiting some of my favourite games a few years on, for another platinum and some nicer visuals if for nothing else. It isn't as though these remasters stop new games from getting made. If they did then that would understandably be a different situation, but it's not the case. It just all seems a bit hysterical and melodramatic if you ask me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sendai-Horatio Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Well going down the list of stuff that's being made into movies and TV, Ghost of Tsushima already has a PS5 version, God of War has a sequel coming, Twisted Metal is very much unknown what it's game is going to be and then you have Gravity Rush. Everything else has a PS5 version and with this Horizon announcement this brings it to be in line with everything else. I really can't view this as a bad thing if it's supposed to give a second life to a franchise. Was not the common complaint that Horizon got snubbed both times by other releases?

iriihutoR84 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Kind of pointless except for filling Sony's pockets but it's probably a smaller project using the tech in the second game to enhance the first. Nothing to be upset about. It's not being made by hundreds of developers instead of Horizon 3, Killzone or a new IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
