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?

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

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The Sony shit show continues.

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Good thing I have the GOG offline installer already downloaded.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week 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?

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I checked GOG as soon as I saw this post. Hopefully they don't take that down, too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If Sony pulls it, they pull it. GOG wouldn’t have any options, it’s not theirs to sell, they are just a storefront.

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (3 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

HZD is anything but generic and mid.

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week 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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I hope they just mean for sale...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week 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.

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

Hmmmmmmmmmm hmm!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Guess what I won't be buying.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Guess what. Athletic Female with a spoon has it too
