The next "unexciting" Sony remaster is Days Gone, says VGC guy on twitter

Just rename PS5 to PS4 Remastered

Well, its PS4 version got an update to run unlocked in PS5 but never got a PS5 SKU.

A PS5 SKU would shorten loading times to almost nothing, would add DualSense support, 3D audio, even better FPS and resolution even including a PS5 Pro patch to go beyond, etc. Unless they add further improvements as would be improved lighting, RT, textures etc if I was Sony I wouldn't call it Remastered, I'd just use the same name as they did with Until Dawn and would just market it as the PS5 SKU of the game.


I assume they are prioritizing the most recent stuff with bigger sales/upcoming movies and tv shows.

Once they will be done with them they might move to less selling and older IPs as we're starting to see in adaptations of Gravity Rush or Patapon, which I assume will receive a remastered collection somewhere near the release of the adaptation.

I mean, after the current batch of adaptations they may also do Killzone/Syphon Filter/Motorstorm/Wipeout etc. adaptations, which could be released with their own remasters or remakes. Or who knows, maybe a new entry because these games may be too outdated for remasters and potential sales could be too low.

The game looks sublime right now. Not blurry, no stutter. I think any improvements will fall into the diminishing returns category

Well, I play in a 1080p tv so.. xD

For me doesn't matter, if they do something with Days Gone I see it as positive because I assume it may mean there are more chances to get a sequel in the future.

But well, I don't think that if there's really another remaster to be announced soon (I wouldn't bet on it) and that is Days Gone (I wouldn't bet even less on it), I think the remaster should be something that either:

1. Doesn't have a PC port
2. Has an upcoming tv show/movie adaptation to be released next year
3. Doesn't have a PS5 patch and maybe not even a PS4 version

Something like Freedom Wars Remastered, maybe a remaster ov a Vita game still not available in PS4/PS5. Or a Gravity Rush Collection remastered.

I don't even mind the idea of game "polish-ups" every couple of gens. Just come to refer to them as TLOU PS3, PS4, PS5, PS7. The way we might say Mario Kart 64 or Mario Kart U, instead of splitting hairs on Remaster/Remake terminology etc.

I'd be be happy to bring the game along with the technological advancements? Improve the ability to show the experience? Im so bad at explaining. TLOU PS5 had better AI pathing and particle effects, I appreciated that quality of life/time improvements.

Just don't cut content like the MP mode. Don't change the content, like aging characters as PS5 really did. I almost want a sharper/more defined version of PS3's... stylished artstyle? Instead of the arguably more realistic look now?
And ya know, it's Sony, so this has gotta be said too, Don't take away previous game purchases, or something like that.

Edit: Oops this is a Days Gone thread more than a Remaster thread. My point still goes for any IP remaster though.
