Give it enough budget, huge marketing and popular actors and everything can be a success. That piece of trash Uncharted movie made big money.

How can you be weaker than concord and still stand up. I mean those people were way out of shape.

They could've just released it alongside it, then, and capitalize off the hype.

How many devs are in this team and for how long? honest question
Is there any data shared by a studio for how much does it cost for a recent port pc<->ps5?

The original game was IMHO part of the PS Plus collection after the launch of the PS5.
So if you just claimed all of those games and the PS4 version is "good enough" for you, you may already be able to play it

I love this game, but it's always great to see lazy/bad remasters being shunned by everybody.

Not likely, it's a tenner, the issue here is the price is much too high, everyone who wants this game mostly already has it, and this remake while 'technically' is more up to date just looks worse (in my opinion) mainly due to the change in lighting (changing from cold lighting, which is a horror genre trait, to warm lighting just kills it for me)
I really like the original but I'd never buy this, especially at that price, yet I have pre ordered Zero Dawn Remaster and I bet I'm not the only one.

Honestly this was destined to have a low amount of customers. I loved Until Dawn, but nearly a decade later, I can’t imagine there are many people left still wanting to replay it often enough to warrant upgrading like this. Yes, there are some options to affect certain outcomes for the characters, but at the end of the day you’re basically playing the same story each playthrough.

It's so interesting to see people opine on things they don't know about.
Do you know how difficult it is to time a release of a movie, especially with the writer/actor's strike that just happened?
At best Sony could have sat on the game for another year, but the studio who developed doesn't have that luxury. They needed to get it out for Halloween month and get as much revenue as they can.
When the movie comes out, the game will probably sell more copies. When the movie hits streaming, it'll have even more exposure. It makes sens to release the game now, get the movie out for summer, and on streaming before next Halloween month.

That’s why we need competition from Xbox.

Or even better, the devs should ask themselves, what could we do that can improve our game in a significant way that make the purchase worthwhile, beyond just graphics and performance?

Remaster is fine but the price was ridiculous. Should have been 30 or 40 dollars on PS5 and full price on PC.

Can’t hold a smooth 30fps.
Poorly encoded video content that should be realtime rendered.
Bugs!
I think they removed the bokeh depth of field in some scenes but I’ve only seen snippets.
Compare and contrast with the amazing Demon’s Souls remake from four years ago. More and more, SIE/WWS are just chucking games out without a care for their quality. Reminds me of Xbox.

Nobody asked for this. Nobody wanted for this.
This remake is a VERY SH**Y move.
On a more personnal note, I'm crying seeing all those hundred ofmillions spent on disaster games nobody will play, when small indie studio struggle just to bring 150k budget for the game (publisher are stepping down every invest and financing rn...). Pisses me of

I mean, it's there. Up to consumers to actually buy it, and they're just not. No one can claim it's not competition to have Call of Duty, Stalker 2, Indiana Jones all lined up in GP for the next 3 months plus whatever else they add for less than the cost of this remake. It's not MS fault people just want to keep buying Sony no matter what. This is what they want.

This and also, Sony has a lot great games locked behind the older consoles that could do with a remake/remaster. I'm not even talking about bringing them up to cutting edge. Even just a higher standard of graphics and controls (PS3/360/PS4) etc would do wonders. Yet, they remake a game that still looks and plays fine and is accessible already.
Can I ask what the part in bold means?

Not to mention, literally releasing it at the same time of your other marketed game in Silent Hill 2.
Who made that boneheaded decision?

I enjoyed Uncharted movie, leave your brain at home. Sully was cast wrongly but still.
I would watch Until Dawn also, but fuck a remake game. Not needed (I enjoyed the original)

Yeah I really don't see any situation where this would have turn out good with Silent Hill 2 shadowing over you.

that piece of trash uncharted movie was based on a triple-a, well established playstation game franchise. apples & oranges...
remakes/remasters, yeah. but no one made fun of either the last of us or the last of us 2, both considered landmark accomplishments in game development. again, apples & oranges...
we're talking about a flawed remake of a 9-year old playstation title that hit 79 on metacritic that's somehow supposed to synergystically come together with a movie version releasing next year to create a new media sensation/major franchise? notice please that the 2 examples above already were major gaming franchises to begin with...

At least those games try to showcase the console and have enough following to sell millions.
Nobody asked for an Until Dawn remake for sales or promoting a system.

Because nobody asked for it. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the meetings at Sony. I can't even imagine how they even get to thinking remaking this was a good idea. People are literally begging for a Bloodborne remaster. Most people would pay for it just to run at 60. They must be inandated with requests for it but yet they end up remaking games like this. It makes no sense. More brain fart than brain storm.

This is a remake, but yes, tons of them have. Resident Evil 2/3/4, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Ratchet & Clank, Final Fantasy VII Remake, etc.. etc..

Most people here thought Silent Hill 2 was going to be a disaster because of Bloober team... Now hindsight is kicking in?
The reality is that you had to release this in October. It's where twitch and youtube streamers are going to play the game. That's your advertising.
I think a lot of people just are struggling with the fact that this remake was cheap to make and the movie will also be cheap to make.
Making a Killzone or Resistance movie? Not cheap.
A successful movie will be the most marketing this game could get.

Im shocked... shocked I say.
Put a "50 games to remake" list to 10.000 playstation fans from the ps1 era trough now and see in how many fucking lists Until Down even pops up....
Sony is clueless this gen. Clueless.

Not I. The game would have sold on nostalgia title alone.
Regardless, it's a certified banger, and we are not Sony marketing. Sony didn't think SH2 was going to bomb, to release these 2 days apart is just silly. With all the issues that Until Dawn has, it could have used a bit more time in the oven which also would have given it competition breathing room.
