    Just pirate anything Sony puts out. This shit makes it clear that it’s not worth giving them a single dollar. And if we’re being really honest, all their games are super generic and very mid, you can just ignore them as a developer completely and you won’t miss out on anything.

    Fucking called it LOL

    I knew this was the whole point of the “remaster”.

    The original is still available on GoG.

    I also REALLY hate how confusing the Steam store is. If you look up the original game, it does not say its delisted, it just has the Remastered bundle inside the listing, which is a completely different product.

    Along with everything else, I find it so annoying that these games that totally didn’t need a remaster get one, and so many great older games just begging for a remaster that woud rake in cash dont get one.

      Because those need work. These are easy to slightly polish up and push as new game.

      Ps5 has literally only one new exclusive after all these years?

        It has more than one… But it is incredibly lacking still.

        But it got Astrobot, Destruction All-stars are both new IPs. There is also Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart for first party. And you can throw in Stella Blade and FF7 Rebirth for now as well.

        I believe everything else is remakes or not exclusive to the PS5.

        Edit - ohhh scratch Ratchet and Clank off as well, that’s on PC. I thought it was the PS4 one that came to PC, but it is Rift Apart.

      It’s because those remakes take time to do a proper remake. I get the feeling Sony needed something fast for this one and Guerilla was able to turn it around without much effort on their part, at least compared to making a new game or remaking something older.

      It’s funny that I could buy and play the original game, but not this remaster or the sequel. That’s because Sony doesn’t acknowledge that my country exists.

    Even if I was a bazillionaire, I’d still be pirating Sony games out of principle

        But it is, as a bundle.

        They’re having one HZD listing, for both copies If you buy it in 6 months you can still play the original release with no PSN and no remake changes, they just package the remake with it now on the store.

    This is not true in the literal sense.

    You cannot redeem HZD keys, and buy it as part of a bundle with both versions. They stopped selling it standalone.

    So you can get the upgrade for $10 if you already have it, or wait for a sale on the bundle.

    But in either case you can still play the original release without the PSN requirement even if bought after the remaster release.

    This original was already a privacy nightmare, even on GOG, which is why I was hesitant to buy it. Looks like I’m definitely pirating it now if I wanna play it. But hey, at least now we know why sony insisted on “remastering” it.

    Nothing of value was lost.

    It’s just ubisoft the game but with robo dinos.

    All sony games are the same. Ghost of tduchima bored me in less than 10h.
