Horizon Zero Dawn | Original vs Remastered | PS5 | In-Depth Graphics Direct Comparison

[@GamerInVoid]

READ 👇👇👇 - Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered has finally arrived for PS5 and PC. Since its announcement, there’s been considerable debate about whether a remaster was truly needed for a game released as recently as 2017 on PS4, with a PC version and a PS5 patch already available. In this video, let’s explore the visual upgrades you can expect with this $10 remaster ✅𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝘿𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙪𝙚 𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖 𝙋𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 The most noticeable improvement is the complete overhaul of dialogue animations and camera angles. In the original game, dialogue cutscenes could feel robotic and visually distracting, with awkward camera work and stiff animations. Now, dialogue scenes feature detailed motion-captured animations and more cinematic camera positioning. Check out the side-by-side comparison from 04:43 to 10:16 in the video. ✅𝙀𝙣𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙇𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙌𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 The lighting in this remaster has been massively upgraded to resemble that of the sequel, Horizon Forbidden West. The world is now visually more dynamic, and Aloy benefits from the signature "hero lighting" that makes her stand out beautifully, just like in the sequel. ✅𝙐𝙥𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙨 Character models have seen significant improvements, with enhanced textures, animations, and detailing. While the polygon count remains similar to the original, the higher asset quality and refined lighting make the characters look far more lifelike. ✅𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙍𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 One of the original game’s visual limitations was its water rendering, which lacked transparency and depth. This remaster addresses that with more realistic water that now varies in transparency based on depth and displays improved animations. ✅𝘿𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙁𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙚 Foliage and vegetation have received noticeable upgrades, with increased density and better interactivity. Trees and plants now move in sync with the wind and react to Aloy’s movements, giving the environment a more natural, dynamic feel. ✅𝙄𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙉𝙋𝘾 𝘿𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮 Towns and cities now feel much more alive, with a greater number of NPCs populating these spaces. This higher density gives the game world a "lived-in" feel that was missing in the original release. ✅𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙙𝙤𝙬 𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 Shadows have also been refined, though the differences might be subtle at first glance. Texture quality remains consistent, as the original game already had high-resolution textures. ✅𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐓 - Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered offers a significant visual upgrade to an already stunning game. With enhancements that go beyond a typical "remaster," it feels like a blend between a remaster and a remake. For a $10 upgrade, this remaster is a worthy investment for fans revisiting the game. For newcomers, it’s the perfect way to experience Horizon Zero Dawn with visuals closer to its sequel..

I mean, let's be honest here: Dark Souls also got a remaster 7 years after launch, and people didn't complain about it being remastered (yes, 2017 was 7 years ago now). The real problem is that they increased the price, although it does make sense considering the improvements made.

[@TheDanielllopes]

I think everything is better on the remaster, except Rost's face 😅

[@GamerInVoid]

@@TheDanielllopes I agree with this 😂

[@DTunezOfficial]

Why?

[@stangamer1151]

Rost face is the same. It is just that stupid so-called "hero lighting" - a separate light source, placed in front of each person's face. It is impossible to disable it separately, unfortunately.

[@Winter-The-Masquerade]

One thing I do love about this Remaster, since it's using Aloy's model from Forbidden West now everyone can see that the new model is, in fact, prettier then the original model. My only complaint is that her hair seems less notable red then before. It's still red it just seems not as vibrate as it was before. Other then that there are a number of smaller changes that makes this remaster such an improvement over the original. Like removing the pickup animation, auto-sprint for mounts, more expressive characters, customizable difficulty (my favorite) and of course better loading times. Is it an unneeded remaster, yes but I'm glad it was remastered.

[@ST-mn6nw]

She's way more pretty in the original

[@stangamer1151]

Nah. The model has not even changed in the slightest. Only the textures and the animations were improved. Plus, lighting quality was rearranged. In addition, they added a separate light source in front of each person's face, called "hero lighting". Watch DF analysis.

[@PonTran194]

I mean if you even compare to the original HZD before the Frozen Wilds DLC you will even surprised for how bad the water quality was. And I glad to see they reworked so many issue of dialogue cutscenes to be less static and more efforts to not only facial but also the movement (like hands) in the conversation.

[@saurabhpathakYT]

This channel is very underrated. The comparison is extremely detailed and brilliant. Thanks a lot mate

Such a really nice graphics overhaul, I already had the game so $10 seems like an excellent price to me.

[@jordypramada3448]

Change the color pallete, fix the hair a bit , add 10 dollar price , easy money

[@paw3lo87]

Dude blind af

[@MasterMayhem78]

Her hair does look a whole lot better, just wished they kept the firey red rather than a muted red. Her body shape looks like it got an upgraded also.

Rage bait comment 😂😂

[@gamerholic9554]

Better water effect,better foliage,better lighting,better animation dialog xbots😂

[@naineshvala5906]

No one is forcing you to buy it for 10 dollars...that's why we have game channels where people stream it for free for people like u!

[@KingGamezz87]

For those who have never played this game, now is a perfect time to do so. For us who have, now is the perfect time to play it again😊

[@nelAjamZ]

Even with better graphic, game still terrible...

[@5324TuiG]

Can’t wait to play this on the pro

[@juancardona2213]

Yes there are some cutscenes where they made the old lighting system work so well and it has that feeling of nostalgia but it's undeniable how much of an overhaul this is, well worth the price. So sad the average consumer is so uneducated in software and doesn't appreciate the work of the devs, animators and artists at play here.

[@Funnylittleman]

What kind of fps were you getting on your 3060 ti? What resolution/settings? Did you use DLSS or DLAA?

[@SHAHRIARZARA]

Sometime horizon zero dawn remastered is better than horizon zero dawn orginal, sometime horizon zero dawn orginal is better than horizon zero dawn remastered. I love both of them. I have pre-ordered remastered version for my PS5 five days ago. 😊❤😊❤

My only complaint is that I like Rost’s original model more.

[@-baluta3087]

Barely got the game on sale, is it worth as a 10€ upgrade?

[@GamerInVoid]

@@-baluta3087 yes absolutely

[@VinceGameplays]

Is a graphic overhaul, if you liked the game then go ahead is worth it.

[@alexandrugabriel3839]

This comparison is PC version. PS4 Base model vs PS5 Base model remastered,there is the true comparison.

[@PonTran194]

Graphics overhaul, not only the update in lightning, shadow to closely to Horizon Forbidden West or character modeling but also re-recording over 10 hours for facial capture to fix the issue of original one. IMO, very worth for the price upgrade.

[@xaxaxaxaxa6417]

3 Problems that i have with the remaster . The shadows are darker in the original , the remaster is brighter ( maybe i can fix that with the slider ) and i don´t like that when the dialogue option comes they pull the camera from Aloy it seams more natural to me in the original to watch Aloy´s face when the dialogue pops . Buying it today after i learn that i can still play the original if i don´t like the remaster and will see .

[@andykuo2070]

That's a really good remaster!

[@TP-ns8tp]

well the problem is, without PSN, we cant play it now

[@5rv9KY]

On PC will my saves from earlier version work?

[@xarganthos2324]

on pc its a 10€/USD upgrade for the regular HZD version, so i assume there will be no issues. i'd love to check it for you but my GPU died yesterday and i wont be able to play the game for a while

[@evilofski9321]

IT looks like i dont need it.

[@ZFCaio]

It's definitely better But even more unnecessary than Dead Space imo I have the OG on Steam and don't gonna upgrade This game isn't even that good, the second game is much better

[@PonTran194]

You have to know that Dead Space was a remake from groundup with update gameplay, level design, adjust story contents and totally new graphics with different engine. This game is a remastered like The Last of us Part 2 remastered. And imo, this is a test from Nixxes to see how they can make a better remastered unlike usual titles in the market; so may we will see more tittles comes to light with the total overhaul graphic upgrade and enhancement like this remaster.

[@ZFCaio]

@@PonTran194 Nixxes is definitely a great Dev I hope they start remastering some older titles I mean I would love Infamous Second Son and the entire Killzone franchise on my Steam

[@ZFCaio]

@@PonTran194 I have Dead Space, both the OG and the Remake But I think it aged like fine wine, so I never saw the need for a Remake, just a simple remaster of the entire trilogy like they did with Mass Effect would be enough

[@xaxaxaxaxa6417]

I think you are the only one that thinks the second game is better .

[@vikram1099]

great vid; visually i feel there s not much of a leap or a jump from the OG version from what i see.. The Last of us 1 and 2 remastered were really amazing visually rendered remasters

[@GamerInVoid]

@@vikram1099 they were remakes. This is remaster. The OG game still looks great tbh

[@vikram1099]

@@GamerInVoid yes i feel the same too..

[@alexandrugabriel3839]

Because is a PC comparison,when you compare PS4(base model) to this Remaster, differences will be bigger. Actual PS4 version on PS5 is Ps4pro one in 60fps ,this remaster is the 10$ difference in price tag with Forbidden West graphics,same how Hitman 3 has Hitman 1 and 2 in Hitman 3 latest engine. If you compare Hitman 1 original release vs Hitman 1 in Hitman 2 interface vs Hitman 1 in Hitman 3's Interface there is differences. Original games were 60$,since PS5 and Xbox series X launched "next gen" games were 70$. Few gave PS5 version at same price as ps4. Ubisoft and maybe Santa Monica.
