Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered With Graphical Comparison to Original. Fans Aren't Happy

As a long-time fan of Guerrilla Games and Horizon Zero Dawn, I must admit that I was initially skeptical about the need for a remaster. After all, the game still looks fantastic, even by today’s standards. However, after watching Cycu1’s comparison video, I have to say that my excitement has waned slightly.


It has been officially confirmed that Sony will soon launch an enhanced edition of Horizon Zero Dawn, which had previously sparked speculation. This updated iteration of the 2017 game was unveiled at today’s State of Play broadcast, causing quite a stir among fans.

The question arises: Should there be a remaster of Zero Dawn? Some people think that the game developed by Guerrilla Games studio already looks great without needing any enhancement, given its relatively recent release. Could there possibly be areas for further refinement in this case?

As an enthusiastic fan, I’m thrilled about the devs’ promises for numerous updates. These changes include upgraded character models, more engaging dialogues (with approximately 10 hours of re-recorded chats), sharper resolution textures, and refined controls designed to take advantage of the DualSense controller’s capabilities. To get a feel for how these changes will play out in practice, I recommend checking out a comparison video of the original and revamped game versions, meticulously prepared by YouTuber Cycu1.

In the comments under the video, it’s apparent that people find it challenging to express praise for the remaster. Instead, some users believe that the original version appeared more authentic than the revamped Horizon Zero Dawn. They argue that the characters in the Remastered edition seem overly artificial. Furthermore, among the remarks, there are those who assert that the re-released game offers a warmer color palette and more abundant grass. The discussion about Bloodborne was unavoidable since fans have been eager for a remaster of this classic game for quite some time now.

This year on Halloween, October 31st, the revamped version of Horizon Zero Dawn titled “Horizon Zero Down Remastered” is set to launch. You’ll be able to play it on both PC and PlayStation 5 systems. If you currently own the PS4 edition, you can upgrade to the “Remastered” edition for an extra $9.99.
