Along with everything else, I find it so annoying that these games that totally didn't need a remaster get one, and so many great older games just begging for a remaster that woud rake in cash dont get one.

Because those need work. These are easy to slightly polish up and push as new game.
Ps5 has literally only one new exclusive after all these years?

They did it so they can sell more data from requiring a PSN account, also just more money from people buying it, I guess.
It's because those remakes take time to do a proper remake. I get the feeling Sony needed something fast for this one and Guerilla was able to turn it around without much effort on their part, at least compared to making a new game or remaking something older.

You forgot Nintendo.
Even if I was a bazillionaire, I'd still be pirating Sony games out of principle
Good thing I have the GOG offline installer already downloaded.
If you already bought you can still download it can't you? I have a bunch of other delisted games that still work fine
And you can actually still buy it there. Though for the now increased price.
I have it too, and I was patiently waiting for Forbidden West to show up on GOG too, guess it's not gonna happen now, yo ho ho?
The Sony shit show continues.
Also if you bought the OG. You still can download and play it.
It's funny that I could buy and play the original game, but not this remaster or the sequel. That's because Sony doesn't acknowledge that my country exists.
🏴☠️
Fucking called it LOL
I knew this was the whole point of the "remaster".
The original is still available on GoG.
I also REALLY hate how confusing the Steam store is. If you look up the original game, it does not say its delisted, it just has the Remastered bundle inside the listing, which is a completely different product.
I checked GOG as soon as I saw this post. Hopefully they don't take that down, too.
If Sony pulls it, they pull it. GOG wouldn’t have any options, it’s not theirs to sell, they are just a storefront.

This original was already a privacy nightmare, even on GOG, which is why I was hesitant to buy it. Looks like I'm definitely pirating it now if I wanna play it. But hey, at least now we know why sony insisted on "remastering" it.
all they had to do was not force accounts. then they could join this club:
You just had to brag about your achievements.
it was more about showcasing my mental illness and how I can't help punishing myself by playing games like old kingdom or old bioshock, or both borderlands. I also tried to do ori but now I have work burnout and gaming burnout. I wouldn't actually feel inclined to double zero dawn as the game really is enough of a slog just to complete the main story and I really really don't want to suffer any more.

Do you own only 2 skyrims? That's rookie numbers!
I have 4 and haven’t even played it yet!
That’s actually true.. I had it for 360 and forgot about it so bought it again for ps3 and promptly forgot about it, then got a copy for ps4 from a friend.. Played a bit, but it’s not the same as playing on PC, which is how I played morrowind and oblivion so never got into it, then I bought the ps4 vr version because it seemed like it was the perfect type of game for VR, being first person and all… nope that was a mistake, the texture in vr version makes me seriously motion sick.. can’t get past the intro scene.
I’ll probably pirate a pc version at some point.. I’ve paid for it enough to not feel at all bad doing that (not that I would anyway). It’s just not great on console.
Kinda same. I do have it on switch and 360 but those are my pirated copies and you couldn't even apply the unofficial patch so I never ended up playing them much. I bought the pc version then was later gifted SE, and ended up starting this regretful and hellish dupe game achievement quest as a joke with the friends that got me the game since it turned out I had several duplicates. -17/10 Would not recommend.

Weird flex, but okay.
Just pirate anything Sony puts out. This shit makes it clear that it's not worth giving them a single dollar. And if we're being really honest, all their games are super generic and very mid, you can just ignore them as a developer completely and you won't miss out on anything.
HZD is anything but generic and mid.
It actually is just another open-world action game with crafting elements, they may have been rare once but now they're a dime a dozen.
Ok.

Wait. Does this mean that HZD will disappear fm my steam library?
Delisting has never meant it is removed from your library for a paid game, in my memory. Just means you can't buy it anymore
No, it just means people can't buy it anymore
Historically when games are delisted they'll still be in your library.

Nothing of value was lost.
It's just ubisoft the game but with robo dinos.
All sony games are the same. Ghost of tduchima bored me in less than 10h.
Do you smell the sweet scent of money made by amassing more data from you and selling it.
Hmmmmmmmmmm hmm!
This is not true in the literal sense.
You cannot redeem HZD keys, and buy it as part of a bundle with both versions. They stopped selling it standalone.
So you can get the upgrade for $10 if you already have it, or wait for a sale on the bundle.
But in either case you can still play the original release without the PSN requirement even if bought after the remaster release.
