Yeah. It's the dumbest thing in the world.
Looking forward to Horizon 3 and Horizon 1 & 2 PS6 Remake Collection!
(I'm not.)
Yeah. It's the dumbest thing in the world.
Ayup. People thought it was a fake leak at first.Wait what? They're remaking Horizon Zero Dawn? For real?
Man, I remember how Nintendo was always criticized for "not making new IP"Can someone please explain to me why Sony remade TLOU1 and is remaking Horizon Zero Dawn instead of remaking the original God of War games? It makes no sense.
I'm fine with milking IP as long as it makes sense from an outside perspective. Remaking a PS4 game that already has a PS5 patch is pointless. Remaking a PS3 game that already has a PS4 update is pointless too. However, a remake of some old games? That makes sense to me. Uncharted 1/2, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, God of War? Bring it on.I have failed to stop my little sister from buying Persona 5 Royal. Heavens help her through her exams.

Turns out Sony is also willing to milk IP if they can get away with it. Who would have thought businesses like reliable sources of income?
um, have you seen the original god of war games?Can someone please explain to me why Sony remade TLOU1 and is remaking Horizon Zero Dawn instead of remaking the original God of War games? It makes no sense.
They should remake both and update them. That's the whole point of a remake lol. Not whatever Sony is doing right now.um, have you seen the original god of war games?
you might as well ask why bethesda won't remake fallout 1
Hell, I'm curious what the inside perspective is. They have to have some reason they think an H:ZD remake for PS5 is gonna make them money. The common theory is that it's supposed to line up with some TV deal or something.I'm fine with milking IP as long as it makes sense from an outside perspective.
Uh, Link's Awakening? Resident Evil 2? Games get remakes a lot.um, have you seen the original god of war games?
you might as well ask why bethesda won't remake fallout 1
why contort an old game into something completely different? you may as well make a new game, which is better and more interesting anywayThey should remake both and update them. That's the whole point of a remake lol. Not whatever Sony is doing right now.
nintendo clearly has at least some interest in top down zelda, but there's no indication that sony is interested in that styleUh, Link's Awakening? Resident Evil 2? Games get remakes a lot.
Not into something completely different. Just update it for modern audiences.why contort an old game into something completely different? you may as well make a new game, which is better and more interesting anyway
Phew, glad i'm not the richest or else i might've gotten temptations to buy me a social network and run it into a wall with Star Wars hyperspace speed.
(Just kidding, i would at least be better than Musk)
look at old god of war, look at modern sonyNot into something completely different. Just update it for modern audiences.
This is the correct answer.Old God of War doesn’t really fit Sony’s image lol
But you are now.
Sure, I can explain this! TLOU1 and Horizon Zero Dawn are games where a lot of the work (writing, acting, design, level layouts, encounter design, programming, etc) is already done. In a game studio, you write, design, layout levels, create encounters, etc first before getting into the modelling, texturing, animation, etc, because that way you don’t waste resources and budget just making stuff that‘s gonna get cut later. Stuff obviously still gets cut but it minimizes wasted work.Can someone please explain to me why Sony remade TLOU1 and is remaking Horizon Zero Dawn instead of remaking the original God of War games? It makes no sense.
I just want to be able to play them on something newer than my Vita/PSTV lol. Don’t care if they look or play any betterThey should remake both and update them. That's the whole point of a remake lol. Not whatever Sony is doing right now.

Okay the rage against the world checks out, but where does the mermaid come in?
Suswave, do you know a mermaid?
Suswave, are you a mermaid???
What, you mean it's a good game?Old God of War doesn’t really fit Sony’s image lol

Basically just don't post short comments

Pre-production on games takes a LONG time. It takes a long time to write a script, record voices, storyboard, figure out narrative flow, etc. In the meantime, you’ve got a team of animators, modellers, riggers, texture artists, programmers, etc, sitting around not doing anything. Previous game is shipped, next game’s in pre-pro, what do you do with your staff?
The old mentality (not that old, honestly, this was the case like 2-3 years ago) was “lay ‘em off, bring ‘em back when there’s work” but let me tell you, the job market for digital artists is red hot right now. There’s a metric ton of demand for animators, artists, etc, and studios are struggling to retain talent. So it’s REALLY in their best interest to keep as much of their art staff on payroll as possible, but you want to keep them busy while the next game’s in pre-pro. So what do you do? Hand them a project where the vast majority of the work required is new art generation. Barely any, if any at all, script changes, design tweaks, etc. Neil Druckman can be 100% hands off of Last of Us 1 Remake while he works on whatever’s next.
Now, why aren‘t they doing the original God of War games? Easy: Those games would require ground-up redoing. Those would be full projects, not the little make-work projects the TLOU/HZD remakes would be. It’s way cheaper for them to simply port those games over in a PS Classics context than to remake them.
Hope that helps!
Update on this: I literally went to my old address to pick it up lmaoI just got home, excited to play God of War, and I found out I'd had it sent to my old address
That subtracts FamicoinsWait, why do you get famicoins for posting longer posts, but not for postingSeinfeldParks and RecreationThe Office reaction gifs, I don't understand.
Now that Famicoins are a thing (and now that I've seemed to earn more of them), I'm curious to see how they will be put to use. It's fun to see the number tick up, but I was intrigued by the mentions of being able to spend them for forum stuff, assuming that's still on the table.I was going to write up a thread explaining how Famicoins are earned but the mystery is fun.
Basically just don't post short comments and post threads. Also where you post matters, too..... : 0

Gonna start bundling all my shitposts into one master shitpost to farm these Famicoins.

Definitely good not to rush things out. I'll be patient and wait until it's all done!It’s absolutely a possibility! However, we want to make sure that Famicoin has a positive impact and makes Famiboards a more fun and engaging place for the community, so we want to roll experimental features like this one out carefully, see what works and what doesn’t, and gauge community feedback as we go.
Maybe we should give out a Famicoin award for the first member who cracks the Famicoin rewarding system and posts the rules
