The next "unexciting" Sony remaster is Days Gone, says VGC guy on twitter

What time is it?
It really wasn't, when played on any of the harder difficulties it had a ton of systems that you were forced to utilise along with emergent gameplay opportunities. There's nothing "generic" about doing stuff like this:





I played for about thirty hours (enough to see the "reunion") and ran into two hordes total and I'm pretty meticulous about doing side content in games. The hordes were definitely the most interesting thing about the game filled with otherwise uninteresting things. I'd say calling the hordes woefully underutilized is apt and a pretty big failure of the games structure.

No competition means this company will just continue to do stupid shit

Naughty Dog taking the generation off has left some holes in the lineups and remasters are a way most companies are filling in thee gaps, but I mostly don't understand why they aren't going further back in their catalogue.

"less exciting"?

I have the Horizon plat too, love both and while I don't know if I'll find the time to replay either with so many other games to play if you *haven't* played these before you're in for a treat. And there is no way in hell Bloodborne isn't getting re-released with all this other stuff coming but my guess it's a Demon's Souls like project, only a matter of time.

Why not a Twisted Metal remaster collection to line up with the TV show's next season? Oh wait, that would make sense and the game actually could use a remaster.
 
Except when it comes to ones they don't do. Right guys?
Nope. No hidden message or sarcasm or anything in my post. Anything released on the PS4/XboxOne doesn't need a remaster. Those graphics still look good and are all playable through BC. It's literally pointless unless you're a pixel whore.

The reason so many people are asking for PS3 remasters is because those games are locked into that system and can't be played via BC.

I’ve never played Days Gone or Horizon Zero Dawn so fuck yeah boi!!!!

Enjoy Bruv!

I like HZD much more, but Days Gone is still a good game too.
Remake Legend of Dragoon you fucking cowards.

That would be a masterful undertaking, I have no clue who would be tasked with doing it though, maybe Blue Point games or something


Days gone 2 Will be great on a PRO.

True, they'd probably be using UE5 too

5.5 years ago. yes.

we want Days Gone 2. Not Days Gone 1 almost 6 years later. Sony has gone absolutely mental.
? What does this have to do with Days Gone 2? We are not going to sit here and pretend THIS REMASTER being made is in place of Days Gone 2, stopping Days Gone 2, hurting Days Gone 2's development or anything weird like that

We got remasters and ports before for generations now and they've never stopped some other game from being made as they have nothing to do with other development going on. This is still a fucking business and it makes zero sense to leave money on the table if they can bring more into the install base of fans of this IP, so if you want Days Gone 2 faster, I'm pretty sure money would be a requirement.

So what would you rather have?


Those 25 developers who are talking 8 months or so to make this remaster, work on Days Gone 2 instead with a team of over 300
Sony would get less money as no remaster
Less would know about the IP as...no remaster


or 300 working on Days Gone 2,
with millions from sales from the remaster
with more fans thanks to the remaster

Keep in mind, in both fucking examples, Days Gone 2 would still be made, you are just basically choosing a option that has them getting less money and less people know about the IP

oh but hey, at least you don't have to see a remaster or something? smh

This is pretty bad, but I still think it's more exciting than HZD, because Sony isn't spending a baffling amount of time and money trying to make Days Gone a thing.

For those who said they will play the remaster version , but why ? You can already play Days Gone now perfectly on Steam . The remaster isn't going to be much different . WTF

Whats different with the remaster, like is it in a new engine or larger hordes or something?

At least use Unreal Engine 5 this time.

They could even use Temporal Super Resolution.

I can only assume this means they have nothing else for the quarter this will come out. Sony has completely fumbled this gen so far imo.

A lot of people swear by this game but personally I dropped it after a couple of hours.
Remaster seem beyond pointless IMO, didn't Bend even manage to get the load times really short beyond just upping the res and framerate?

Older games = more work = more expensive = higher risc = possibly less or no profit.

Remastering PS4 games is a safe bet, it will 100% make profit.

Side note - I've considered getting this on steam. Any good mods for it? Like better stealth or anything?

I don't recall any mods that deep, but tbh I didn't really look that much into it, but there is a mod so you can play as HUNK from RE series lol

I was talking about everybody asking for a bloodborne remaster which is also a PS4 era game too. I wasn't implying there was sarcasm in your post. There was sarcasm in mine though.

Can't wait to hear what the former director thinks about it. ;)

It's a good game to run on a better hardware, but not as a separate release.

The only thing that will come from this, that will be worth our time will be seeing the directors melt down on X when this gets officially announced.

I liked days gone. But then, I bought it two years down the road. I'd like respawn to remaster Titanfall 2. Only remaster I want.

I doubt this project has an high enough budget to migrate to another engine, even if it is just a newer version of the same engine.

But hey, i would fucking love that.

The dream would be Days Gone Director's Cut – with all the cut areas! 120h game length? Yes please!
1080p@120fps, 4K@60fps, 4K@40fps ultra graphics.
Smoother loading of game data/textures without any hitches (impossible without leaving UE4?)
DualSense trigger effects.
Also, would be pleased with a tower defence game mechanic such as Fallout 4 Settlements System and some kind of multiplayer/co-op functionality.
