I've learned that if people here moan about something, I'll usually like it. So while it is annoying to see the same group of people posting the same things every announcement just to make themselves upset, it also acts as a reliable guide!
IIRC, the patch that came out last week was specifically to fix issues with the Microsoft Store release. There is another patch for all platforms in the works.
Colors look majorly desaturated and the character models look weird(er than the original). Not to mention this and the second game are $9.99 each on PS3.
I put a few hours into the original on Series X but dropped it the second this release was confirmed. I try not to buy anything on day one or for full price, but couldn't resist this time.
Contrary to the snark, it looks like there was a good deal of work put into Days Gone Remaster. Completely re-done lighting, shadows, and weather, pop-in eliminated, and improved texture quality.
Never really excited about this one. If it's not fantasy, over-the-top action, or swarming with magic robots, it's a hard sell for me. Plus the idea of platforming in first-person makes me clench up (thank you, Turok!).
Got an email notification from Deku Deals that it hit its lowest price ever for the Xbox preorder. "Wait, Xbox?!" That's when I saw it was announced for PS5 as well. I really enjoyed the demo and am I glad I waited for it to multiply!
Such an interesting dichotomy here. For years, Switch mains have postured about not caring about graphics or performance, but then outrages like this happen. Happened whenever any review mentioned technical issues with Switch 1: "My 2015 tablet isn't the problem, it's lazy devs!!"
The price alone is a great reason to buy; the PS1 versions are $150-200 each! Japanese voices are another good reason. English dubs more often than not cause me physical pain.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Oblivion Remastered?
A random conjurer swam out to the middle of Lake Rumare to attack me while I was hunting slaughterfish. 10/10
Re: GTA 6's Trailer Was Captured on Standard PS5, Sony Likely Has Marketing Rights
@TicklefistCP GTA cutscenes are usually rendered in the game engine. This isn't FMV or pre-rendered!
Re: GTA 6 Trailer 2 Is Finally Here, PS5 Graphics Are Jaw-Dropping
@symmetrian Same! Too much myopia, bitterness, and entitlement to deal with before meaningful discussions can happen.
Re: Gallery: New GTA 6 Screenshots Look Utterly Outstanding
My body is ready
Re: Even Remastered PS2 Games Are Getting $250 Collector's Editions These Days
Limited Run is such a grift. Glad I paid $10 for this game on my PS3!
Re: GTA 6 Trailer 2 Is Finally Here, PS5 Graphics Are Jaw-Dropping
Not worried about lack of gameplay, GTA V didn't show any gameplay in any of its trailers.
Re: Halo the Final PS5 Holdout of Xbox's Historic Big Three
@UltimateOtaku91 Let's just say I'm glad the PS5 version of Redfall was cancelled
Re: The Quintessential Quintuplets Become Failing Sorceresses in New PS5, PS4 Dungeon RPG
This is the big downside of reading Gematsu: lots of interesting games that may never be localized. ðŸ˜
Re: Gears of War: Reloaded Remasters the Original Game This August, Confirmed for PS5
@AdamNovice Nintendo has done a ton of (full priced) remasters for Switch, but they're "different."
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: The Top Three Best-Selling Games on PS5 Are from Microsoft
@PlatinumMikey Mental gymnastics is how. They've changed from bitter elitists to weird swingers.
Re: Gears of War: Reloaded Remasters the Original Game This August, Confirmed for PS5
Playing Gears on the DualSense sounds heavenly.
Re: Poll: Are You Disappointed by the GTA 6 Delay?
Not planning on getting it until it's 50% off or less.
Re: PS5 Pro Is No Longer the Most Expensive Console You Can Buy
$729 for more storage (equal to the Pro's), sparkles that don't even sparkle, and a green base stand. Zero hardware or software improvements.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Is Playable in September, But Only in Australia
Sounds like it's time to book a flight
Re: Xbox Now Selling PS5 Games for $80, Joins Switch 2 in Price Increase
The troll-shielding in here is insane.
Re: Xbox Now Selling PS5 Games for $80, Joins Switch 2 in Price Increase
$ony - power to the payer$ AMIRITE
Oh wait...
Re: Xbox's Multiformat Move to PS5 Seems to Be Working Out Very Well for Microsoft
And they announced this immediately before a major, worldwide price hike
Re: Sony's New State of Play Proves the Value of Deep Dives, Trends on YouTube

Re: State of Play Presents Borderlands 4 Deep Dive on PS5 Pro
Looks fantastic, might have to be day one for me as well!
Re: State of Play Set for Wednesday, 20 Minutes of Borderlands 4 Gameplay
@UltimateOtaku91 I am! I've loved all the Borderlands games.
Re: State of Play Set for Wednesday, 20 Minutes of Borderlands 4 Gameplay
Looking forward to all the bitter and self-loathing messages in the live chat tomorrow!
Re: This Is One Way for PS5 Sensation Marvel Rivals to Print Money
Live service + fanservice seems to be a winning combination. Take notes, Sony!

@GirlVersusGame But do they on my PC screen?
Re: Days Gone PS5 Is a 'Really Good Piece of Work', Say Tech Experts

Re: Far Cry 4 Gets Surprise 60fps Patch for PS5, Update Available Now
Time to switch back from Xbox!
Re: Days Gone Remastered (PS5) - The Definitive Version of a True Fan-Favourite
@wildcat_kickz Huh, I could've sworn it wasn't like that on other games like the Outer Worlds Spacer's Choice Edition. Oh well!
Re: Days Gone Remastered (PS5) - The Definitive Version of a True Fan-Favourite
@PloverNutter Even after buying the $10 upgrade first?
Re: Days Gone Remastered (PS5) - The Definitive Version of a True Fan-Favourite
Sounds like a great deal for $10, then I can trade the PS4 version to GameStop for $13.
Re: A PS5 Exclusive DOOM: The Dark Ages Trailer Isn't Sitting Well with Xbox Fans
It's interesting to see that crowd simultaneously champion the multi-platform strategy and complain about things like this.
Re: Oblivion Remastered PS5 Patch in Limbo as Xbox Users Get a Performance Boost
IIRC, the patch that came out last week was specifically to fix issues with the Microsoft Store release. There is another patch for all platforms in the works.
Re: Raidou Remastered Highlights Some Huge Improvements Over the Original PS2 RPG
@yazzika I'm with you! Plus it's only $9.99 on the PS3 store.
Re: Site News: Where's Our Days Gone Remastered PS5 Review?
Seems to be a particularly strong hate-boner for Days Gone. A little bit of research and one can see what all the improvements and changes are. 😇
Re: The Crew 2's Offline Mode 'Progressing Smoothly', Hybrid Mode Coming This Year
Picked the gold edition up at the end of the last sale without realizing it was online required. Oh well, still seems fun.
Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages Reveals Cosmic Realm, a Lovecraftian Area with New Weapons, Enemies
@Lysterao I think developers care about people paying for their product.
Re: Raidou Remastered Gets the Performance It Deserves on PS5 at 4K, 60FPS
Colors look majorly desaturated and the character models look weird(er than the original). Not to mention this and the second game are $9.99 each on PS3.
Re: PS5 Pro Offers the Best Forza Horizon 5 Experience on Consoles
@Nexozi Seriously! Playing an expansive, environmental game like this on a small screen with tinny speakers kind of defeats the purpose...
Re: Mirror's Edge Fans Might Want to Take a Look at Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game on PS5
Missing the cyberpunk dystopian atmosphere of Mirror's Edge which is crucial.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Oblivion Remastered?
I put a few hours into the original on Series X but dropped it the second this release was confirmed. I try not to buy anything on day one or for full price, but couldn't resist this time.
Re: Forza Horizon 5 (PS5) - Xbox Had the Best Open World Racer All This Time
What a world when 8 is considered a bad score. 🤣
Anyway, I got this for free with a Series X bundle from GameStop so double-dipping won't hurt. The cringy dialogue does hurt, though.
Re: Oblivion Remastered: Everything New and All Changes Compared to the Original Oblivion
New levelling system and new voice work make this a day 1 buy. Plus it's Pro Enhanced!
Re: These 14+ New PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out Next Week (21st-27th April)
Contrary to the snark, it looks like there was a good deal of work put into Days Gone Remaster. Completely re-done lighting, shadows, and weather, pop-in eliminated, and improved texture quality.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5?
Never really excited about this one. If it's not fantasy, over-the-top action, or swarming with magic robots, it's a hard sell for me. Plus the idea of platforming in first-person makes me clench up (thank you, Turok!).
Re: Painkiller PS5 Reboot Shows Off Its Versatile Weaponry in New Gameplay Trailer
Reminds me that I need to grab the Painkiller game on PS3
Re: Stellar Blade's Hyper-Realistic $3,600 Statues Sold Out in Minutes
Gutted that these sold out. Guess I'll have to hope some of them eventually end up on eBay...
Re: Switch Exclusive Star Overdrive Is Hoverboarding Over to PS5 in June
Got an email notification from Deku Deals that it hit its lowest price ever for the Xbox preorder. "Wait, Xbox?!" That's when I saw it was announced for PS5 as well. I really enjoyed the demo and am I glad I waited for it to multiply!
Re: Preview: Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Is Shaping Up to Be Another PS4 Compilation That Slaps
Project Justice by itself makes this compilation worth it.
Re: Switch 2 Fans Can’t Stand Seeing Nintendo’s New Console Compared to the 12-Year-Old PS4
Such an interesting dichotomy here. For years, Switch mains have postured about not caring about graphics or performance, but then outrages like this happen. Happened whenever any review mentioned technical issues with Switch 1: "My 2015 tablet isn't the problem, it's lazy devs!!"
Re: The State of Tekken Is So Bad That Players Are Hyping Up a Mod That Undoes Tekken 8
I'll just wait a few years until the base game and all DLC is available as an Ultimate Edition for $5-10.
Re: Niche Fighter Fatal Fury's Marketing Is Wiping the Floor with the Genre's Biggest Names
@MrPeanutbutterz I see what you mean, but wouldn't it be fun to clobber those ridiculous guest characters? At least that's how I'm looking at it.
Re: Lunar Remastered Collection (PS4) - Classic 90s RPGs Still Charm in Slightly Lacking Revival
The price alone is a great reason to buy; the PS1 versions are $150-200 each! Japanese voices are another good reason. English dubs more often than not cause me physical pain.
