Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Changes More Than You Think...

[@JorRaptor]

Like the video & subscribe to participate in the LEGO Horizon giveaway: bit.ly/3Uos0iH Thanks Sony for the early code for the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster BTW!

[@carlharrison3637]

I cant wait to play - from scratch, I did miss one cauldron first time around as they were pretty challenging but I'd love to get a platinum with this version.

[@edwardbrennan3963]

Fingers crossed! Ty!

[@LongThrow]

I really hope i will get the giveaway but probably not so i should not have my hopes up. Thanks anyway! You make great videos

[@atomic-fox]

It's been almost 2 years since I've played Zero Dawn, so it's going to be great to completely revisit the entire story again. I love this franchise.

[@JorRaptor]

For sure!

[@Deedric_Kee]

Same 👍

[@devilsadvocate3785]

Since it’s $10 I’m gonna get it. Even if I don’t touch it I like the idea of the numbers being there for cheap upgrades instead of the $60 “it’s a new game” prices

[@TranceMountainbiker]

true

[@isaacswarts6826]

Sony's favorite type of customer. NGL though probably going to do the same

[@nickshaffer7659]

how do you get the 10$ upgrade version? i don't see the option...

[@isaacswarts6826]

@ for me it was separate from the main zero dawn in the psn store

[@Kelsoplayz]

​@nickshaffer7659 I believe that if you have the disc version then that has to be in with everything loaded as well as waiting until tomorrow for the option to appear.

[@Sergesouszero]

Thanks for not focusing on the difference between tiny blades of grass, but rather on some new aspects that others didn't cover in their video. I learned a lot from yours. Great review!

[@Cold_Zero_The_Wise]

That's how I ended up here to begin with, the first 2 reviews I watched focused on the graphics and textures almost exclusively like it was the most important.

[@saumayagoel234]

I wish Jor would look at us like how he looks at the horizon franchise

[@JorRaptor]

Hahaha what does this mean

For only $10 and an actual working product that isn't buggy or an inferior version of the OG unlike recent remasters latrly? I'm sold.

[@rio23xh89]

You know this was the series that had me discovered your channel

[@Kelsoplayz]

Same here and then I ended up getting into Days Gone right after because of him.

[@danquaza9275]

Me too. Zero Dawn was the game that really made his channel break through that barrier of low end, to top tier. Even if you look at his views from before Zero Dawn came out and then after, it’s clear

[@JorRaptor]

Thanks for sticking around!

[@Joehockey1990]

We get a full and complete remaster for a $10 upgrade for what was initially a PS exclusive in the same week that we get a completely barebones RDR1 for full price without a single remaster/upgrade beyond view distance. It's appalling to see how poorly Rockstar handled the RDR1 port when we can see how much of a huge jump in graphics and improvements can be made by a dev company that actually cares to see their game improve.

[@classicnovaproductions4768]

I discovered your channel because of HZD, what a treat to get a brand new video for it 6 years later! I fully intend to replay the game with this Remaster! There's something so special about HZD, I'll look for any excuse to replay it!

[@JorRaptor]

Really nostalgic seeing your name! Good days, cool to see you sticked around!

[@classicnovaproductions4768]

@@JorRaptor It's been a fun journey, watching your channel grow!

[@JasperOosterveld]

Looks awesome! I am definitely upgrading and playing again :) Last time I played the game was on the PS4 four years ago. Thanks for the video :)

[@fakepasta3935]

The living city was what I really wanted the most when I played it when the original game came out. I am glad they changed it.

[@JorRaptor]

Yeah it's pretty great!

[@deyliramirez382]

@@JorRaptorI loved the Priest’s Morning, Afternoon, & Evening chanting of Sun King names. Any improvements to their animation?

[@bhill005]

I’ll definitely import my saves. But, I think I’ll run it with a fresh play through. Excited nonetheless🔥🔥🔥

[@VonGreen]

I thought I was the only one to miss the Tramplers.. My absolute favorite machine to hunt in that game.

[@travisspazz1624]

Even playing it for the first time years ago, I thought the cutscenes and dialogue animation were a bit rough. Very happy to see that get updated!

[@peabuddie]

Good review! Thanks for taking the time.

[@fatherjimbo]

It also changes one other thing. You have to connect to PSN to play. Why? No reason for me to bother with this.

[@Pulverizer2000]

Why not create an account

[@fatherjimbo]

@@Pulverizer2000 I'll answer you. I'm a PC player. I've never and will never own a Play Station or any other console. Sony doesn't need my info. There is no reason for PC players to have a PSN account. I have no idea why Sony is pulling this nonsense but I'm personally not participating.

[@Pulverizer2000]

@@fatherjimbo nice of you to add 'personally' in the end instead of making yourself look like sj warrior that screams for every fellow soul. Im personally a console and pc guy but prefer Consoles, hunting trophies and achievements for me is immense Fun.

[@Carlile123456]

The true downside of needing to link to PSN is that it isn’t available in all regions thus excluding people who wanna enjoy the games

[@charleyking8931]

@@Carlile123456 That's the main issue I have with the account linking. If Playstation accounts were available in all regions, it really would be no different than Ubisoft and Rockstar requiring accounts to play their games on PC. I'm not a fan of needing those accounts, but having that stipulation doesn't prevent millions of consumers from being able to play the game in those cases. I'll probably upgrade for the simple fact that I haven't finished the game yet, and I already have a Playstation 5, so I don't need to make a new account to play the game on PC. It looks like a substantial enough upgrade that it will be worth $10 for me, personally, to experience a better version to finish my playthrough.

[@rhyscarey3406]

I never played zero dawn so I can’t wait for this

[@JorRaptor]

Wow jealous, best way to experience it for sure!

[@rhyscarey3406]

@ exactly this is going to be amazing

[@Darth_Zabrak]

Ive played 150+ hours of Forbidden West, but for some reason never played Zero Dawn, so im super keen to jump into it with the new remaster

[@jameelx6227]

Playing horizon all those years ago when it came out was the reason i found your channel 😂

[@alainkessler3247]

Definitely buying the remaster and replaying the whole game on PS5 Pro

[@nshippudennaruto2814]

I’m trying to wait until I pick up my pro but it releases tomorrow! I might have to just play it lol

[@dhampirdemon]

Absolutely! I can’t wait! This looks amazing 🤩

[@SebastianSkadisson]

Aloy is beautiful, they actually fixed a ton of lighting issues with characters.

[@3COI]

I tried to play this right before Forbidden West came out, but I bounced off it bc of the fast travel mechanics and the collection animation. I'm looking forward to finally playing it all the way through with the remaster.

[@Sgaragarru]

Dropped the OG after 6 hours, but I'll give another try with the remaster

[@MockingjayRising]

I highly recommend, the story REALLY picks up not too far in and it get incredible

[@carrlitos_9554]

Yeah ngl happened to me twice, but once you lock in the game gets more fun

[@cwfutureboy]

HZD is my favorite game/universe of all time, so you bet I have this pre-ordered and will play at midnight when it drops. Thanks for all your great videos, Jordan.

[@oneall23]

The settings alone make this game better.

[@JorRaptor]

100%

[@alextownley9388]

I got into an argument with someone over accessibility options on Twitter because “only disabled people care about them” according to this moron

[@shobitchouksey3442]

This is shocking because every other exclusive ps5 upgrade u could just auto pop platinum this is the first time u gotta earn it again not a positive change

[@isaacswarts6826]

Going to play zero dawn with a glass cannon Aloy soon

[@Aurummorituri]

The best part of this is now there are updated face files that could be better ported to *ahem* “enhance” Aloy in the sequel on PC. 😂

[@KstewLover1]

Certain things I’d prefer the original. They just vibe more with me the darker style

[@Raianmicch90]

I’m planning plan from start to finish with this remaster, it’s been a while since I played 🎮

[@DEEJAYWAL]

I like hanging out in that world admiring the scenery. So yes, I happily paid the £10. Especially as I didn't pay a thing for the game originally, having picked it up when it was given away during the pandemic. Got it all downloaded, impatiently awaiting the unlock.

[@sethlester9966]

I hope we can permanently collect the audio, logs, holovids and such like we could in forbidden west

[@lyromata]

In Australia the upgrade price is $15, not letting that put me off as I have played through the game a couple of times and thoroughly enjoy it. It is one of those rare games that allows noobs and experts to enjoy the same game due to it having good difficulty settings. Definitely going to get this upgrade. Thanks for the review..

[@granthendricks7014]

I'm planing to play the full game on a new save so this is exactly what i hoped for

[@abnormalnox]

I'm gonna platinum it ALL over again. On ultra hard

[@truthseeker6532]

The series and it's DLC's, are definitely worth playing all over again.

[@Dragiot]

I was half hoing one or two of the HFW machines would make a supprise appearance here. But you know what, Im very happy with all the changed here!

[@jonathanwessner3456]

The lighting in Meridea is also updated. You have time of day lighting and shadows. Also, you are way better at the game than the guys who played it at Digital Foundry. They kept missing easy shots on watchers. I am impatiently waiting for the game to get the $10 upgrade for my PS4 version. My brother will have to be annoyed with me playing it again

[@debbiec4530]

I miss your coverage of Borderlands. Those were fun times! 🤠💕

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

Never played Horizon but gonna check this one out. Cheers Jor.👍

[@ST-mn6nw]

Ive just downloaded the original got it free when i got my ps5 lol 60fps, and alloy still looks beautiful, ent wasting 10 dollars

[@antoniobaquero6795]

Okay I made it! xD like the video and how you talk about the update

[@kasplat5874]

I'm actually looking forward to replaying the whole game since I haven't touched the original in years. The first game has a better progression and skill choices than HFW and it seemed like you spent much more time hunting mechanical beasts, which is what makes the series tick. I don't plan on going through more of the conversation trees than I have to as the "talky talky" of almost every NPC is easily one of the worst aspects of both games. I would have liked a Stash or bigger inventory and I don't relish having to sort and make inventory choices all the time.

[@kentbarnes1955]

Already pre-paid. Counting the hours. Watched Kirsty start a new play through on her live stream today. Oh....I'll spend a lot more than 10 or so hours running about looking at the pretty sites...I'm READY to return to Horizon's roots! Bring it on.

[@shadowwar2580]

Since I like HZD so much more than HFW I'm really looking forward to the remaster and the preload is active right now. Will be my 9th or 10th play-through. =)

[@swaeshow]

I'll happily play this game all over again before I play DA. Can't wait!

[@Starfield-Guy]

I bought it and never played it so I’ll be getting this, been holding off playing until it was remastered

[@JorRaptor]

Damn perfect time to do that

[@kewa_design]

Same here haha also bought Forbidden West now so i can Play both in highest Fidelity

[@coling3957]

one of the less great things in HZD were the scenes chatting with npcs. it was pretty primitive , even for 2017 ... i bought my copy in 2019 i think and loved the game.. but the interactions with npcs always grated. simply shrugging your shoulders isn't engaging. so i'm glad the remaster has all this redone., 10/10 to Guerilla for doing this rather than just polishing graphics.

[@jensdroessler3575]

10 bucks is fine. But I really wish they brought some quality of life improvements over from Forbidden West. Auto-collect items and those chests with surplus collected. That really would have been something.

[@--JawZ--]

What no auto collect, that feature should have been easy to implement. But they made new recordings for the voices and the graphical update. Come on

[@mattstork2203]

Great review 👏 👌

[@bradtussey827]

I am definitely getting this and I'm going to 100% the trophies again I love this game and I'm also a trophy addict so earning all trophies again is a plus for me I 100% the ps4 game and 100% the forbidden west ps5 version

[@CheezhOfficial]

Almost 1 million subs!

[@Bateluer]

For ten bucks, I think its worth it. Bought it on the PS and PC/Steam platforms, though I'll play it on the PS5 first. Curious to see what it looks like on the PS5 Pro next month too.

[@LoneWolfGamer06]

I'm glad I don't have my PS4 dave data. I plan on going into this completely fresh. New gameplay & new trophies

[@joseortizreflects]

I have this game on Steam but haven played it yet; now seems like a good time to jump in.😊

[@spritecut]

I bought the original PS4 on disc but recently bought the new PS5 without a disc player (no judgements). This means I am not eligible for the €10 upgrade, as obviously I can not put the original disc into the PS5, which is the requirement. I think this is a requirement for all disc upgrades from PS4 to PS5. Not to worry I will just wait for a sale in a year and play-through again as it’s been a while. Really want to play the Lego version with daughter anyway.

[@glockparaastra]

I will get it for sure. Can’t wait for 3!

[@0x8badbeef]

8:47 I've moved on to only playing Zero Dawn on a PC. The Remaster is supposed to be like Forbidden West. If the FOV only goes as wide as Forbidden West I will pass on the Remaster. If the FOV goes as wide as the original PC version I will get the Remaster.

[@callinhero]

Definitely picking this up. I was willing to pay full price for it so just £10 is an easy yes! (sometimes I like to buy my favourite games again. I bought AC4 4 times)

[@darkcult99]

I’ll play this on Pro, that €10 upgrade is hard to refuse.

[@UrbanLegendGaming]

I picked it up. I have the physical original but never finished the game. So I’m gonna for sure play this time n finish it… since I quit destiny I can play other games now thank god

[@FPChris]

No gyro mention? You guys are REALLY missing out playing without gyro. This is THE game for that feature.

[@504cool]

I definitely plan to give play through it again NG+ (not going back to not having the shield suit EVER 😂)

[@TheJohhnyE]

Changing the price of the original game to make sure you pay full price is the biggest change. 😂

[@am1453]

Has anyone been able to find out if they’ve brought over the inventory system from forbidden west or if it’s still limited? Cant seem to find an answer.

[@sniper_azein]

My favorite game of all time glad they improved it a lot, I mean the changes are very noticeable, specially in the graphics and lightning. Thank you Jor for the review 🔥

[@littlebigmarc]

Trophies not popping it up is a no no for me. I already platinum it. I'm good.

[@RicochetForce]

Nah, that’s not the consensus I’m seeing. People are liking the actual changes now that we see more than just canned media shots. An excellent update to an excellent game.

[@FPChris]

Would have loved the Shieldwing Glider. I know I'm going to jump out of habit now.

[@liamlane1165]

I was thinking about replaying the game, so getting the remaster would be nice... and only $10, that's even better, there's no reason not to get it.

[@drackensohn]

its so fucking irritating that i can't buy this remaster in Steam because sony doesn't think that PH doesnt deserve to be part of PSN.

[@cameronbowerman8691]

There is i believe at least 1 "New" outfit. The Nora outfit from burning shores

[@iTROLLxTHExTROLLZ]

Hey Jor, do we get those original pre-order outfits from the original Zero-Dawn??

[@ArticMas84]

I hope game 3 comes out. I'm really looking forward to it

[@Mr.Rizzy77]

My Eyes lighten up everytime I hear or see something from Jor

[@GeorgeMcGraw-k5d]

They actually didn’t make her ugly. Maybe because of the backlash from making her ugly in the 2nd game.

[@Johnspartan296]

She wasn't ugly in the second game. The "backlash" came from gamers that don't know what real women look like.

[@Vinylmelody1517]

On that pickup animation thing. Wasn't it possible in the og version to pick up flowers and stuff while running and not stopping already? I remember being able to do that. If you were not full sprinting you would stop to pick up stuff, but as long as you're sprinting you could mash the pickup button as you run by and it would just quick pick up

[@AllShadesAreGray]

Nope. You must be thinking of Forbidden West.

[@Ken_himura]

The storyline is so extensive. I forgot what it was about. Let alone either of the two games were. Good thing I happen to like detailed stories. Definitely worth the $10 upgrade.

[@TheJohhnyE]

Having a forgettable story isn't the flex you think it is. 😂

[@cdr02989]

This remaster makes me think areas from both the ZD and FW maps will be in the third game. Had to upgrade the assets for PS5 Pro.

[@douglaspelin9062]

one thing i probably missed - but has been inventory space expanded in HZD or not ? bag space was always an issue for me when playing HZD.

[@EtronX348]

From the feedback from most places, most players still prefer the base game over the remaster as some lighting changes in the remaster make the darker tone of some sections lose their intent But I still love the remaster, and most of the time if I don't own the previous version or there are some major quality of life changes, I'll always get the remaster

[@Luck_Fonseca]

É incrível que zero dawn é melhor do que 90% dos jogos que lançaram neste ano.

[@Keyon_Wilson]

Gonna import the save data but will start a whole new game. I think i'll just wait until my pro arrives

[@stevenmcnamara-kh7pm]

I never played the original but I do have a ps4, it was on my list to play so I'll definitely get the upgrade now on ps5. So next it's this, demon souls or the last of us part 1

[@greayeve3035]

i played the first one for only a bit. the second one I finished and will go back to plat. I'll buy this and plat this as well

[@NTG360]

Bout to trade in my physical copy to get this Remastered edition!

[@Nwordplzplz]

If you buy the digital upgrade, it's only $10 but you'll have to keep your disc in the console whenever you want to play it. Unless you're buying the digital Remastered version.

[@silentkensei]

You could keep it and just upgrade for $10 bucks. But if money is no problem for you then go for it!

[@karannashine9526]

Do you get frozen wilds with this if you don’t already own it?

[@NameSk43]

Already bought it hope it's worth the upgrade for 10$

[@hakunamatata7056]

Does the camera keep changing sides ? Because in Forbidden west you can choose which side you want the camera to stay on
