Will you be revisiting this PS4 classic or is this your first time? 👀

For a $10 upgrade, the improvement is INSANE. I feel like people were faking outrage / lying about being offended by this release because grifters / conservatives hate this series for some reason when it’s not even remotely political.

[garysena]

Yep and i got the game for free during the play at home initiative, so the $10 upgrade is not bad at all.

[GhostsLuvBooffets]

10 dollars for a massive visual upgrade for my ng+ run? Honestly sounds like a pretty good deal

[gamingodyssey]

haven't played hzd ever since i first got my ps4, can't wait to play again, just 6 more hours till release

[reeceholmes]

The trophy’s not popping is not a problem for me because I was wanting to get the platinum again from fresh

[josetomascamposrobledano]

The story of this game is better than Forbidden West.

This is a great excuse for that maximum difficulty NG+ trophy… and a free platinum obviously

[bigbri]

I'm definitely getting the upgrade. HZD and HFW are some of my favorite. I've only played through them once each, so it's looking like time for that NG+ playthrough on both. I wish that H3 was coming soon, so that I could play the trilogy.

Paid £25 for the game years ago on PS4 while it was discounted during a sale. Now with a £10 upgrade fee, that'll be £35 total. I'm very happy with that.

I find it funny how some people will happily pay full price every year for an essential re-skin of Call of Duty, but complain about this. Talk about miserable... Zero Dawn didn't technically need a remaster, but for only 10$, they offer a massive graphical improvement along with new mo-caps for the stilted npc interractions. It's a good deal for anyone who likes this classic.

[mattburkey]

The trophies not carrying over is actually a positive for me. Having previously platinum'd HZD I had little reason to do every last sidequest on repeat playthroughs. Starting from scratch will give me more reason to enjoy re-discovering everything HZD had to offer!

I'm thinking I'm gonna get me a PS5 for Christmas, and when I do, this is an upgrade I intend to get. I own a disc copy of the complete edition for PS4 and I loved completing it fully. Nowadays I stream and I'd love to replay it and stream it and try to see what I can pick out that wasn't there before.

I just started this game, in hour 1...My backlog is ridiculous, over 60 games .I have a problem, whenever I get my paycheck, I dish out $100, could be for a new game, but that's very rare I wait months for games to fall in price.I stopped gaming During Halo 1, started back up in 2018.So I been playing catch up with all the classic games out there, which is good cause the most I ever spend on a game is $40 on Amazon, plus I got all the game of the year editions, complete editions, legacy editions, legendary editions, and gold editions for dirt cheap

[LucieOne]

I will definitely and gladly dive back into this game at some point. It is a big commitment if I recall correctly though.

[HeartlessMoogle]

Love this. Idk why people are complaining about this remaster but requesting bloodborn

[sartavin]

I like this game better than Forbidden West on a pure gameplay level, so I'm super stoked about this. That water looks incredible compared to the 2017 original!

[cool]

I didn’t have a problem with the side quest on the original.

[tmoney]

I got to a point with Zero Dawn where the gameplay started to get monotonous but the story kept me interested. Forbidden West gameplay kept me interested far more than the first. I may go back to the ZD remaster since it's been a very long time and Alloy was far more likeable in ZD than FW for me.

[Etheral]

This was the first pre order Ive paid for since Cyberpunk (which put me off for years) Cant wait to replay this masterpiece

[gazray]

never got the ps4 plat so im going for it on ps5, love this franchise.
