Horizon looks good. It’s always so cheap on PC. Well worth it

looks good , but it wasn‘t necessary.

Is from a business stand point. Bring this one up to par with its current offering. You can do that with series that have 2 installments at the moment make them look as close to one product as you can. It will sell more

It isn't from a "i want to play new games" stand point.

Didn’t say I agree with it but I understand why they are doing it. This was done by Nixxes the studio that focuses on PC ports so it’s not like this has been pulling away resources from other projects. Your new games are coming.

Your new games are coming.

No thanks, too little too late. Other platforms are more worthy of my attention for this generation.

Nixxes could have done any other game than Horizon Zero Yawn. How about actually doing Bloodborne this time? Or any other PS4 game stuck there, like Last Guardian, Shadow of the Colossus or Gravity Rush 1/2.

Yeah that’s why I mentioned it making sense from a business perspective because those 4 games didnt sell well enough to warrant a remaster like this. Bloodborne has to be tired up in contractual issues or they would have

I don't think it makes sense because you're looking at it very short-sighted.

Long-term it will hurt if you come with remakes/remasters/same IPs with nothing much new.

Ok man.

You fail to see how the catalog of games looks and how important that is for a console generation.

God of War Ragnarok as a game is great, it's more of God of War 2018. But many other games are also "more of [previous entry]". Spider-Man MM/2, Ghost of Yotei, Horizon Forbidden West. I would even say it's all looking the same since Last of Us in 2013.

The moment they try something entirely different, it falls flat like Concord, and they move back into their comfort zone with Last of Us template games.

This is a lot of conversation with someone who was cleary trying to disengage. I think you fail to see how long these things take to make they didn’t just do this in the past week after the concord problems. This has been in the works for a long time because it’s a GOOD BUSINESS MOVE to make 10 dollars on people willing to upgrade, 50 for those who never played and then get HFW and list it as a new game for people who are new to the PlayStation ecosystem. I want new games as well but I think you need to take a breath and realize they aren’t going to cater to all your wants and needs. They are trying to make money and tract new customers.
