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.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 61 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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?

They did it so they can sell more data from requiring a PSN account, also just more money from people buying it, I guess.

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.

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

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 63 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Good thing I have the GOG offline installer already downloaded.

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 33 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Delisting it just means it isn't being sold to new customers.

If you already bought you can still download it can't you? I have a bunch of other delisted games that still work fine

And you can actually still buy it there. Though for the now increased price.

[–] drunkosaurus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 10 months ago

I have it too, and I was patiently waiting for Forbidden West to show up on GOG too, guess it's not gonna happen now, yo ho ho?

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 62 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

The Sony shit show continues.

Also if you bought the OG. You still can download and play it.

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 23 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 52 points 10 months ago

🏴‍☠️

[–] absquatulate@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

Wait. Does this mean that HZD will disappear fm my steam library?

[–] padge@lemmy.zip 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Delisting has never meant it is removed from your library for a paid game, in my memory. Just means you can't buy it anymore

[–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

No, it just means people can't buy it anymore

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 8 points 10 months ago

Historically when games are delisted they'll still be in your library.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I hope they just mean for sale...

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

Do you smell the sweet scent of money made by amassing more data from you and selling it.

Hmmmmmmmmmm hmm!

[–] ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.
