I think it’s a solid movie from a storytelling perspective. The original colors were a bit grittier, but the story of Horizon takes place in a lush and vibrant post-apocalyptic future. Bringing the color grading and foliage closer to Forbidden West was smart imo

The original looks better.... The colour grading, high contrast, with LESS fog gives it a more unique and sharp look. The "remaster" has added some extra foliage, a lot of fog (why...?) and some other minor, arguable touch ups. The Stormbird model legitimately looks WORSE here than before. It looked more mechanical in the original, with visible attachments like cables etc. and here it looks like something out of Spider-Man, and just generally more cartoony. Wild.
Lighting has received massive improvement in the remaster. For example in the bridge comparison shots you can see how flat it looks in the original, with geometry underneath the bridge receiving now shadows at all.
The remastered for some reason lacks a lot of shadows with Aloys face just illuminated by some form of ambient light like the light you see in a movie bouncing of from a photographic reflector
There’s a crepuscularity to the lighting in the original that appears to be absent in the remaster. I really liked that aesthetic. I remember the PS5 version of Forbidden West added an additional “hero light” to the cutscenes, and that appears to be evident here as well. Guerrilla seems to favor theatrical lighting in close-ups in general.
I am already 40% through the game. Never played it when it was released , recently bought the pc version for a very good price. Enjoying every second of it. The facial animation and and model look old compared to latest games but the environment details still better than most of the games. Amazing game.
Pretty much same boat. I started playing for the first time on Steam Deck last month and only just completed HZD. It would be amazing it Nixxes made the remaster run better and more optimized than the original port.
Same, great game. The remaster won't make a huge difference on PC as it is already stunning when maxed out. Ps4 to ps5 though it'll be significant. Still unnecessary but it'll be very pretty
They fixed that in this Remaster, the skin in the original looked like wax and the facial animations were quite outdated. They rerecorded 10h of dialogue with mocap to improve the facial animations and the skins look as great as the second game.
I imagine this was a similar situation to TLOU1 where they needed something for their dev staff to do while the next game was in pre-production, so it's probably not taking away resources from a new game. Would have preferred a remaster of something else that isn't available on ps5, but at least it's a significant improvement, it'll be great for newcomers.
"Massive", dude, if your game updated in the night, and by a whim you played it again, and nobody told you about the upgrade, you wouldn't even notice it. You maybe could tell it was different, but 100% you wouldn't be able to tell it was better.
The only way I'm gonna get behind this project is if it's a free upgrade to the already purchased original game. There are so many other games that are much older just waiting for a good remaster and revival above this game that already looks really decent to begin with. Great game but this is just unnecessary.
In some scenes the remaster looks more crysp and the shadows less defined than the original. The color grading is also less saturated. Of course its noticeable the improvements like better texture resolution and more enviormental details, and there might be much more we cant apreciate yet, but i dont feel necesary to change backwards the first things i mentioned

What happened to resistance, killzone, days gone 2, twisted metal, infamous and many more franchises that haven't been tapped into this generation???
It is not being re released at full price though, the remaster is only 10 if you already have the game. And if you don't want to play it, just don't. People like you are weird, why d'you click on a video about a game you don't want to play just to say you won't play it..?

My 14yo son wants to play horizon zero dawn, he just started playing a couple of days ago. I'll tell him to wait a bit. What's 10 euros and one month, it's worth the little wait IMO
Look, considering this was a totally free title for everyone in 2020 with the "Play at Home" initiative, I don't think there should be such a fuss about a 9.99 update or just don't buy it and stick with the original.
I'm with you on that and I was surprised that sony let those free versions compatible with the 10$ update I thought they will lock them of from the update
Compliments to the design team from the original Zero Dawn. This game has aged like a fine wine and in my eyes doesn't need a remaster. I'll just play the sequel if that is the case.
Sorry, but in some scenes the remake look a bit cartonish, but on other scenes look insanely photorealistic, damn, for me looks awful, doesnt have a good creative direction
I honestly think i prefer the original. Sure they added more on screen but in like how the vegetation looks like it’s dying on the ps4, and the warm tones
Yea, the remastered version looks so Grey compared to the original. They improved the visuals on the people but that pretty much the only good improvement
At first I thought this was a lazy graphics update. But looking at this, it shows that they have put some effort behind it. Its like playing HZD with HFW graphics. For a 10 dollar upgrade its not bad
@@Semitruck1 yeah fr. aside from that, something has been upgraded and it clearly shows. But mostly I hope gameplay gets an upgrade to play out more fluid like Forbidden West, if this turns out like graphical upgrade only like TLOU part 1 I’m so done. I believe in guerrilla though, they’ve shown that they can deliver when they want
This game is still gorgeous, i don't see why it needs a remaster just yet. Wait another 5 to 7 years and do a real remake like the Last of us did so we can have a really amazing upgrade. What i see here can probably be achieved with a handful of texture and lighting mods and a nice reshade preset.
I think you haven't watched that trailer man. Improved mocap and voice lines, better camera angles and new dialogues and the overall graphics of the characters will now be up to par with forbidden west. It's been 7 years and the quality difference is pretty big. Play ZD and then play FW and you'll see what I'm talking about.
@@blackthorne2001 After witnessing the incredible quality of Forbidden West, It's great they improved the first game to the same level. I think that's how it was always supposed to be played, but the tech wasn't available.
the fact they mocapped and revoiced the entire game alone makes me want it more, the original is still okay but some of the voices and lines are... weird
@@yesitsvivien saturation on max and they call it " remaster " ?? i do this on every game that is looking too much bland i just put +20 or more saturation and color vibrant is more realistic ??? so no need for plastic cartoon characters they done it is mockery and change color of Main characters beard and eyes etc ??? they destroy remastering every game ?? better if they want to make better and fresh looking game to do Proper Remake like Mafia did with that great insane looking Remake that is proper looking not this ??
Wow! The side by side comparison shows just how much more expressive Aloys face is in the remaster. I mean in many shots they get her eyes just exactly 100% right. Like you are looking at an actual real life actor not a computer animated game character. I thought the animations in Burning Shores were impressive but here they really outdid themselves!
It's like they put a Snapchat filter over the game and called it "Remastered". @2:01 paused. Details on armor and faces are missing on the remastered version.
10 extra dollars if you already own so you can "upgrade" to a version that either has too much details that makes it distracting or inferior details like what you said, including character models there and has only 30fps compared to 60fps of original Zero Dawn.
@@RaymanJob Guerrilla has said that there are things, such as cinematics, that have been remade. 10hrs I think it was. Idk but it's not only the graphics, although they are what have been more improved.
@@waynewayne8419 Why would you compare a game to its sequel? You compare it to other big name games - Assassins Creed, Dragons Dogma, God of War, RDR2, etc... Horizon Zero Dawn is on par or comparable with these games in terms of graphics. HZD does not need a remastered version... I'm not gonna buy a remastered version for slightly better looking visuals.
@@invadeandraid older doesnt mean uglier. yes women loose beauty gradually due to age but it doesnt make them outright cartoonisly ugly. they intentionally made aloy into avocado in forbidden west but thankfully with enough facepaints and lipstick and clothes you can hide her facial weirdness in the sequel. zero dawn both og and remaster aloy is still nice and graceful.
How they came up with the new character models: - make selfie of the characters with your smartphone - go into the picture editor mode - press on "auto edit" or "perfect selfie" or whatever the name is - MAX out that slider done
Agree and l like darker shadows and darker game general but we can fix that with the slider i play with the slider at 30 % now maybe i will have to go to 20 % to make it dark . But general for 10 bucks its ok .
Hay cosas que no me agradaron como por ejemplo ross, no se ve tan vikingo jaja como en la version original, pero Aloy se ve espectacular, la hicieron casi calcada con la chica que le da el rostro/fisico al personaje. Habría que ver la prueba final cuando salga el juego.
No se ve tan vikingo?? Pero si es el mismo modelo, sólo que tiene menos canas, el azulado del rostro tiene un color más claro y textura de la piel y el medallon del hombro tiene textura de pelaje. XD
This has some back and forth. In some of the scenes, there seems to be a little more intent in the lighting in the original (7:20), but in others, it's the remaster (8:17). The brightened color grading seems to take advantage of HDR displays better, and looks especially good in the landscape shots (1:20), but sometimes just looks blurry(2:40). I definitely prefer the softer shadows in the remake (2:00). In many of the cutscenes, there's a problem with the lighting on faces where they just look very pale (6:52) and coated in vaseline in the original, but is fixed very well in the remaster, if not for the appearance that they gave Aloy lipstick(5:20). Some details of Aloy's remastered outfit feel a little kit bash and I prefer the original a little more (1:00).
The original holds up quite well but you'd be a liar to say it looks better than the remaster, maybe it's nostalgia but everything pops with the updated graphics. * Denser Nature 0:35 * Natural lighting (Instead of highly stylized) 1:00 * Colors are much more vibrant and better draw distances (Beautiful landscapes on the Horizon) 1:20 * Subsurface scattering (Skin looks soft and not like plastic) 4:20 / 5:20 * Much better haze effects 7:04 On PC with high frame rates it will look much sharper in motion than in the video. Never finished the game because it was already looking dull by the time it came to PC, maybe I'll finally finish it this time.
El juego base ya estaba bien, esto es pulir un poco más el apartado gráfico, pero es prácticamente lo mismo, mejor iluminación, más vegetación, algunos elementos en pantalla extra..., el tema es que son pequeñas cositas, es como "rizar el rizo", está bien, pero con el juego original no hacía falta hacer el remaster.
I’m hoping its just the time of day being used as the reason for the crazy reshade desaturation in some of the shots. I think the rustic saturation, the setting and rising sun hue, all are thematically fitting and beautiful in the original despite most cutscenes being pre rendered or awkwardly modeled
No idea why would people spend money on a game that they already have the only difference is better graphics W a big scam. Even if a game is 1 millions years old I won't buy a remake version unless it's way better than the original like the big scam gta definitive edition the game is for 60 bucks it suc*s where I can buy the original ones for 1$ cracked "summary the early 2000 was an amazing era where company's used every effort to make better game for fame and whatever, Sega was amazing but nowadays after these company's reach there goal the only goal they have is milking money"
Wow not going to lie ....this Horizon ZD remaster looks like a whole remake. Completely remodeled environments and character models. Looks like a next gen leap.
People are not crazy, the original looks better in half of these. The remaster is too bright and washed out looking. The only graphical upgrade that is consistent is Aloys HFW character model is much better than her HZD character model. That's about it. A lot of the environments look straight up worse.
I feel like they've made the lighting and colours look a bit more natural, with some better textures in areas that needed it and more foliage. It's not massive but the differences are there. It'll be noticeable without them side by side of course, the people don't have super shiny skin anymore thankfully.
Why are there only exclusives games? There are so many multiplatform games and if ps5 is your only console you play something else or it means you don't like videgames
2:10 Please tell me the two pictures' label just switched up by accident. It does not make any sense the picture labeled "original" has more detail, better lighting and just look better in general.
It looks like they added more foliage to try and make it seem better (busier) but just as you mentioned, the original has far better lighting, colors, and in quite a few instances better textures and details. Some of the textures in the remaster look blurry, you can see this in the still of Aloy's father(I forgot if he's just her caretaker) with baby Aloy, his armor pieces and clothing have more details and clearer textures than the remaster. They also changed his hair color from reddish brown to black.
Sony seems so desperate to sell a game they are putting improved textures on models and calling it a remaster. Guess you can't knock them for trying something though since Concord was a dumpster fire.

Pretty much same boat. I started playing for the first time on Steam Deck last month and only just completed HZD.
It would be amazing it Nixxes made the remaster run better and more optimized than the original port.
Same, great game. The remaster won't make a huge difference on PC as it is already stunning when maxed out. Ps4 to ps5 though it'll be significant. Still unnecessary but it'll be very pretty
They fixed that in this Remaster, the skin in the original looked like wax and the facial animations were quite outdated. They rerecorded 10h of dialogue with mocap to improve the facial animations and the skins look as great as the second game.
I imagine this was a similar situation to TLOU1 where they needed something for their dev staff to do while the next game was in pre-production, so it's probably not taking away resources from a new game. Would have preferred a remaster of something else that isn't available on ps5, but at least it's a significant improvement, it'll be great for newcomers.
It is not guerilla developing the game. It is nixxes studio
@@anthonyattia6695Nixxes are doing PC port. While Guerilla are probably responsible for PS5 version.
@@stangamer1151 Read the PlayStation Blog, Nixxes did this remaster. Guerilla are working on Horizon 3.
Yes they took tlou route. There was supposed to be a horizon TV show too but that got canceled
"Massive", dude, if your game updated in the night, and by a whim you played it again, and nobody told you about the upgrade, you wouldn't even notice it. You maybe could tell it was different, but 100% you wouldn't be able to tell it was better.
The only way I'm gonna get behind this project is if it's a free upgrade to the already purchased original game. There are so many other games that are much older just waiting for a good remaster and revival above this game that already looks really decent to begin with. Great game but this is just unnecessary.
Reminder that the Witcher 3 next gen update was free and much more of an uplift than this.
Aged like milk sadly.
@@mers3331 It wasnt.
It's £10 if tou have the original
If not it £50
I bought it for 10 pounds... Gonna replay.. Gonna be worth it
In some scenes the remaster looks more crysp and the shadows less defined than the original. The color grading is also less saturated. Of course its noticeable the improvements like better texture resolution and more enviormental details, and there might be much more we cant apreciate yet, but i dont feel necesary to change backwards the first things i mentioned
remaster is better
remaster looks like they smeared green vaseline over the game and called it quits
Las cosas como son, es un BUEN remaster, pero no hacía ninguna falta, tienen muchas ips abandonadas que podrían rescatar. Además de que el horizon 1 sigue viendose super bien
Estoy contigo compi. saludos. y tb alguna nueva ip. para remontar en el 2025 que esta siendo y next gen ps5 regulera, y aprovechar el potencial dela pro sakarnos nuevos juegazos. me encantaria un uncharted 5 o algo nuevo de naugty dogs. aventuras o scifi, accion.
Estan rellenando su catalogo al pedo, da lo mismo como salga este remaster es una practica que se nota a kilometros que lo hacen solo por interes

Too many games? Lol... If anything, this console generation has been the most boring. And I would know; I'm 36 and have been gaming since the Super Nintendo.
This console generation has been a snooze fest
As a PlayStation gamer, I am tired of Sony re-releasing old games that we already played and selling them at full price. This console generation is a strange generation indeed. What happened to resistance, killzone, days gone 2, twisted metal, infamous and many more franchises that haven't been tapped into this generation???
If you already played it, that means you most likely purchased it already, so it won't be full price for you. It will be $10.
@@Olie986 that's cool but I don't have any desire to play it again. I want new games lol

It is not being re released at full price though, the remaster is only 10 if you already have the game. And if you don't want to play it, just don't. People like you are weird, why d'you click on a video about a game you don't want to play just to say you won't play it..?
@@shydreameress264 because I live in a free country with the power of the 1ST amendment!!! If my opinion made you upset in any way, I don't really care 😂 I think it's really weird that the focus is on remastering old games instead of making 'new' games that take full advantage of PS5. Besides a few good games like stellar blade, ff7 rebirth, Rachet clank, astrobot, we really haven't gotten much of anything 👎👎👎 spiderman 2 and GOW Ragnarok are also good games but they were just a safe copy and paste. I hope we get the old Sony back that made the PS4 so great 👍👍👍

Look, considering this was a totally free title for everyone in 2020 with the "Play at Home" initiative, I don't think there should be such a fuss about a 9.99 update or just don't buy it and stick with the original.
I'm with you on that and I was surprised that sony let those free versions compatible with the 10$ update I thought they will lock them of from the update
9.99 is nothing, thank god they didn't went full Sony mode and charge a full 50 or more
The $9.99 upgrade does not apply to people who got it through "Play at Home"
@@Jdb63 Yes it does. Anyone can upgrade.
@@rezwhap I stand corrected. This is unusual for Sony
Compliments to the design team from the original Zero Dawn. This game has aged like a fine wine and in my eyes doesn't need a remaster. I'll just play the sequel if that is the case.
Sorry, but in some scenes the remake look a bit cartonish, but on other scenes look insanely photorealistic, damn, for me looks awful, doesnt have a good creative direction
I honestly think i prefer the original. Sure they added more on screen but in like how the vegetation looks like it’s dying on the ps4, and the warm tones
Yea, the remastered version looks so Grey compared to the original. They improved the visuals on the people but that pretty much the only good improvement
At first I thought this was a lazy graphics update. But looking at this, it shows that they have put some effort behind it. Its like playing HZD with HFW graphics. For a 10 dollar upgrade its not bad
Sony should waited more for PS6 release then doing the Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
@@FantasyNero maybe they'll do a remake like last of us 1

Ikr, he got downgraded. The model in the original looks so detailed compared to the remastered version
true he looks more kid-like
@@Semitruck1 yeah fr. aside from that, something has been upgraded and it clearly shows. But mostly I hope gameplay gets an upgrade to play out more fluid like Forbidden West, if this turns out like graphical upgrade only like TLOU part 1 I’m so done. I believe in guerrilla though, they’ve shown that they can deliver when they want
yeah his model is the only one that looks vastly worse. Others are either a bit better like Aloys or a bit worse but nothing too huge
Aloy at 5:21 looks way different from Forbidden West. Better even.
This game is still gorgeous, i don't see why it needs a remaster just yet. Wait another 5 to 7 years and do a real remake like the Last of us did so we can have a really amazing upgrade. What i see here can probably be achieved with a handful of texture and lighting mods and a nice reshade preset.
Nice improvements all around, though hardly as far as they could have taken it. The improvements do shine in Meridian for sure.
I am so stoked for the Remaster. It looks so much more lush and natural. The original looked a little cartoonish in comparison.
I don't know why they remastered this game I played this on PC and it's still great graphically.
Money.. 🤑
I think you haven't watched that trailer man. Improved mocap and voice lines, better camera angles and new dialogues and the overall graphics of the characters will now be up to par with forbidden west. It's been 7 years and the quality difference is pretty big. Play ZD and then play FW and you'll see what I'm talking about.
@@blackthorne2001 After witnessing the incredible quality of Forbidden West, It's great they improved the first game to the same level. I think that's how it was always supposed to be played, but the tech wasn't available.
The characters looked quite funny in the original tbh
the fact they mocapped and revoiced the entire game alone makes me want it more, the original is still okay but some of the voices and lines are... weird
Its not a remaster! THEY FUCKED UP THE ART STYLE with green everywhere!!!!

Wow! The side by side comparison shows just how much more expressive Aloys face is in the remaster. I mean in many shots they get her eyes just exactly 100% right. Like you are looking at an actual real life actor not a computer animated game character. I thought the animations in Burning Shores were impressive but here they really outdid themselves!
Kid Alloy has imprived impressively
The original looks and plays fine on PS5 there is no reason for this remaster. Sony getting so desperate with these remasters.
Exactly, I'm seeing dumbass people defend this! I'm like, they are playing them!
It's like they put a Snapchat filter over the game and called it "Remastered".
@2:01 paused. Details on armor and faces are missing on the remastered version.
10 extra dollars if you already own so you can "upgrade" to a version that either has too much details that makes it distracting or inferior details like what you said, including character models there and has only 30fps compared to 60fps of original Zero Dawn.

Having too much fat on her face restricts most of her facial expressions.
In most of these comparisons the remaster just looks brighter.
Agree and l like darker shadows and darker game general but we can fix that with the slider i play with the slider at 30 % now maybe i will have to go to 20 % to make it dark . But general for 10 bucks its ok .
Just "brighter"?
@@WERV2003 Brand new lighting engine to the naked eye apparently means "brighter"

Hay cosas que no me agradaron como por ejemplo ross, no se ve tan vikingo jaja como en la version original, pero Aloy se ve espectacular, la hicieron casi calcada con la chica que le da el rostro/fisico al personaje. Habría que ver la prueba final cuando salga el juego.
No se ve tan vikingo?? Pero si es el mismo modelo, sólo que tiene menos canas, el azulado del rostro tiene un color más claro y textura de la piel y el medallon del hombro tiene textura de pelaje. XD
@@Alsborg debe ser la paleta de colores, entonces.
Debe ser que la iluminación del original era más una limitación de la PS4 y el Remaster tiene la iluminación como ellos hubiesen querido que se viera.
Original still looks amazing. Some games shouldn't be remastered if it already looks great.
Analista de Bits cocinando bien prontito 🫡🔥
0:37 It’s Arthur Morgan I presume ?😂😂😂

This has some back and forth. In some of the scenes, there seems to be a little more intent in the lighting in the original (7:20), but in others, it's the remaster (8:17). The brightened color grading seems to take advantage of HDR displays better, and looks especially good in the landscape shots (1:20), but sometimes just looks blurry(2:40). I definitely prefer the softer shadows in the remake (2:00). In many of the cutscenes, there's a problem with the lighting on faces where they just look very pale (6:52) and coated in vaseline in the original, but is fixed very well in the remaster, if not for the appearance that they gave Aloy lipstick(5:20). Some details of Aloy's remastered outfit feel a little kit bash and I prefer the original a little more (1:00).
The left one at 0:40 will be covered with green in the PS6 version. That you'll get it with only 20€/$ more.
Imagine buy a new console to have upgraded grass.
This game didn't need to be remastered. I think remasterd or make versions of Bloodborne, Shekiro or the 3 first Uncharteds would sell like crazy
So Aloy is 18-19 years old in first game,and in remaster she has wrinkles? Cmon now man😂
Gran trabajo analista, cuidate.
The original holds up quite well but you'd be a liar to say it looks better than the remaster, maybe it's nostalgia but everything pops with the updated graphics.
* Denser Nature 0:35
* Natural lighting (Instead of highly stylized) 1:00
* Colors are much more vibrant and better draw distances (Beautiful landscapes on the Horizon) 1:20
* Subsurface scattering (Skin looks soft and not like plastic) 4:20 / 5:20
* Much better haze effects 7:04
On PC with high frame rates it will look much sharper in motion than in the video.
Never finished the game because it was already looking dull by the time it came to PC, maybe I'll finally finish it this time.
Te estaba esperando toda la mañana para esta comparativa jajaja, saludos 😊
That original vibe...There is nothing that can beat it because of it's light work
El juego base ya estaba bien, esto es pulir un poco más el apartado gráfico, pero es prácticamente lo mismo, mejor iluminación, más vegetación, algunos elementos en pantalla extra..., el tema es que son pequeñas cositas, es como "rizar el rizo", está bien, pero con el juego original no hacía falta hacer el remaster.
Bueno, pero si antes era un 99/100, ahora es un 1000/100
@@hortitol No, ahora es una ESTUPIDEZ comprarlo si tienes el original y mucho más si como Sony acostumbra a hacer, te lo vende a precio completo.
I definitely like the remaster better. I’m glad I hold off to play the game when I heard a remaster was coming.
I’m hoping its just the time of day being used as the reason for the crazy reshade desaturation in some of the shots. I think the rustic saturation, the setting and rising sun hue, all are thematically fitting and beautiful in the original despite most cutscenes being pre rendered or awkwardly modeled
Looks like I’m paying 10 USD for a free platinum rather than an upgrade…
No idea why would people spend money on a game that they already have the only difference is better graphics W a big scam. Even if a game is 1 millions years old I won't buy a remake version unless it's way better than the original like the big scam gta definitive edition the game is for 60 bucks it suc*s where I can buy the original ones for 1$ cracked "summary the early 2000 was an amazing era where company's used every effort to make better game for fame and whatever, Sega was amazing but nowadays after these company's reach there goal the only goal they have is milking money"
Looks different, but its just like taking a picture at a different time of day.

Wow not going to lie ....this Horizon ZD remaster looks like a whole remake. Completely remodeled environments and character models. Looks like a next gen leap.
LIAR !
@@Nava9380 lol I understand that comment. The bs people type on here because how gullible they are 😂
People are not crazy, the original looks better in half of these. The remaster is too bright and washed out looking.
The only graphical upgrade that is consistent is Aloys HFW character model is much better than her HZD character model. That's about it. A lot of the environments look straight up worse.
I feel like they've made the lighting and colours look a bit more natural, with some better textures in areas that needed it and more foliage. It's not massive but the differences are there. It'll be noticeable without them side by side of course, the people don't have super shiny skin anymore thankfully.
Que mal momento para tener un PS5
Why are there only exclusives games? There are so many multiplatform games and if ps5 is your only console you play something else or it means you don't like videgames

Please tell me the two pictures' label just switched up by accident. It does not make any sense the picture labeled "original" has more detail, better lighting and just look better in general.
It looks like they added more foliage to try and make it seem better (busier) but just as you mentioned, the original has far better lighting, colors, and in quite a few instances better textures and details.
Some of the textures in the remaster look blurry, you can see this in the still of Aloy's father(I forgot if he's just her caretaker) with baby Aloy, his armor pieces and clothing have more details and clearer textures than the remaster. They also changed his hair color from reddish brown to black.
Original is PRERENDERED while the Remaster is REAL TIME, that's the reason some shots look "better* in the original
Sony seems so desperate to sell a game they are putting improved textures on models and calling it a remaster. Guess you can't knock them for trying something though since Concord was a dumpster fire.
but thats what a remaster is???
