Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered - Before You Buy

Sony has released a shiny new version of Horizon Zero Dawn for PS5 and PC. How is it? Let's talk!

Sony, stop "remastering" PS4 games and start remastering PS2 games.

$10 upgrade isn’t bad… but can we PLEASE remaster/remake games that aren’t so easily accessible or are at least 2 generations old???

[mrpetebojangles]

I will NEVER forget playing this for the first time and discovering the story. Incredible game.

[J.T._Game]

The accessibility options have been updated to match HFW version as well. One I suggest turning off is the the pickup animation so you can just run past crafting items to pick them up.

I literally can’t describe how much I love the whole horizon franchise! Every little thing about it, Zero Dawn, The Frozen Wilds, Forbidden West, The Burning Shores, and everything that comes with it! The amount of freedom and happiness I feel when I play them is indescribable. And I’m so happy to be able to revisit the first game with refined graphics, motion capture and frame rate!❤️❤️

I feel Forbidden West looked miles ahead of Zero Dawn. Like i remember playing it for the first time and my jaw dropped, getting the same visual quality om ZD for $10 is a no brainer imo

[Mango_Pnch]

Has to be the most unrequested remaster since release

[CKatanik]

How about we save remakes and remasters for the old old games. Silent Hill was a perfect example. Best time for a remake

For $10, it's a steal. I've tried to replay it for years now, but I couldn't. But now that I've started playing the remaster, I'm already four hours in, and I'm enjoying it very much.

Good game. The story is very interesting! For anyone who plays it I highly recommend trying to find every bit of lore in the game. There are things scattered from the past that really helps tell the story as you find them. As you find them and uncover more of the world from the past and compare to the future the game is set in, there are some crazy story things that come up with some twists of the people involved with what "Zero Dawn" is.

[Ryzza]

Part of the reason why they did this is because it was relatively easy compared to other older games. And yeah, the original facial animations were really hard to ignore if you played HFW first. Some new QoL settings and features are nice too.

This remastered version is a great example of, "But that's how I remembered this game back when it was released."
Coz the remastered version is actually very well done!

[Ghost-In-The-Machine---o]

The Decima engine is my favorite, for me is practically impossible to say no to this 10 bucks upgrade.

[schools]

I'm actually really looking forward to playing this again. Earning all of the trophies again is just a bonus. $10 is fully worth it in my opinion.

[eternal]

I like Forbidden West way more because of how we find out more of the world is out there with their own customs, politics, and weapon options. I don't think Zero Dawn needed a remaster but for 10 bucks I'll get it. Thanks Jake 😎

HZD is my favorite game of all time and the world Guerilla built is nothing short of sci-fi brilliance.

[lordbrainsick]

now horizon 1 and 2 and eventually 3 will all look gorgeous together. this i can appreciate

[NoName-Me]

Hearing Ashly Burch voice Aloy always reminds be that Hey Ash Whatcha Playin is still up and that makes me happy.

[larrythompson]

I have still seen glitches in the remastered. Dead watchers floating in the air. Medicinal plants stuck in trees. Transparent rocks every now and then.

[akinun]

absolutely love it -- gameplay, replayability, story, character depth all there. no idea how people would dislike this game.
