Thank you for your work, Dude. You do a really nice job! I just wish the bitrate of your videos could be better, since we kinda lose the point of being a graphic comparison where we can't clearly see some details. But it's not the worse on youtube to be fair
I am really glad they did a remastered. Zero Dawn’s atmosphere most of the time looks dead, or over saturated (bright orange desert??) The art style fix that makes it look closer to Forbidden West is where the magic is strongest
I seriously worry for the eyesight of some of these commenters. Its miles better, but visuals are the sideshow, the huge improvement is the new mocap which is transformative for a mild RPG with a conversation system. Also, Horizon Zero Dawn did look fine, I know that, but it was also Guerrillas first open world game, and a lot of its visuals were not artistic choices, but time/hardware/skill limitations. Look at the concept art for ZD, the remaster is a lot closer now. If you have it to upgrade its a no brainer.
That's what I kept browsing comments to find nobody talking about this. The improvements to conversations which is what you do for half the game is the best improvement to the game. The feel more human-like than the bland faces we had before
For me personally the improved vegetation alone is already a huge improvement. The original one has a lot of thin grass and shitty AA implementation, made the game looks mushy to me on movement even at 4K
I will stick with the original version (still didn't completed the game yet on RTX 3060 laptop GPU). And for this new material, i will discover it on the HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST.
@saiibox3174 Yeah, I know, but it doesn't deserve to replay it in remaster mode. So playing Forbidden West with the new assessts used in Zero Dawn Remastered will be better and without wasting time.
@WalidZhani-me5yc if you're playing it for the story, the remaster is transformative with the new mocap. Character moments are a million times better.
The art style was lost and it looks too much like the second one. Its and upgrade but they plastered greenery over everything so that the remastered version easily looks different even to casual users who would be oblivious to texture changes, more npcs and things like that. They did the same thing with TLOU 1
That's at max settings though. You can probably drop a couple settings like shadows and get better fps while still looking significantly better than the original.
@@squeakymonkeyMaybe, but not by much. GPU sits at around 95-99% so even without CPU bottleneck there is not much to be gained here. However the 4070 is simply too slow for demanding PS5 level games running maxed out with DLSS Quality at 4K at high framerates. You need a 4080 for that. And that‘s also the recommended Spec for 4K btw. It‘s as demanding as Forbidden West. On a 4070 just lower settings a bit or use Performance upscaling + Frame Generation.
This is still the most unnecessary remaster of all time A lot of the comparisons are "look it looks different now" Not necessarily better, just different
Bruh, that's literally what a remaster is. Modified, enhanced graphics. And there were no mods that brought the original even close to this level of quality.
@NotLanny bruh bruh we have mods for it, and this not an super old game that we needs a remaster, nobody said "pls sony, make a remaster of HORIZON ZERO DAWN for us"
@@OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOok It was unnecessary, yes, but that doesn't mean it doesn't look any better. And your initial argument is still just as false as before.
@NotLanny better? Better what? Is it better to lose more than 25fps for more grass? C'mon dude, you're right about the differences between remasters and mods, but this... Only have more grass and colors, change nothing and lose 25fps, this is a joke
The remaster has better textures, and adds more foliage, but the shadows in HZD original is more detailed, as seen your videos. Another point is the waters, in original it was less transparent, was more muddy like a real river, in remastered it got better effects and reflex, but the muddy effect was removed.
The original game isn't that old and still looks great. I am not sure it needed a remaster. If you own the original I don't think it is worth paying again unless you a re huge fan. If you are buying for the first time go for the remaster I guess but the original looked fine honestly.
Visually it's a big improvement but probably wouldn't be worth it, but the new mocap for the conversation system is a game changer. Took me right off the fence and I'm firmly in the remaster's garden now.
they just made it look a lot more inline with forbidden west for a more seamless transition if u want to replay zero dawn before playing forbidden west. not a bad option, but a bit too early i think.
I have a GTX-1650 with i7-10750H & 24GB RAM. Any suggestions which one will have better graphics - the original version or the remastered version. I know remastered has better graphics at max settings, but with this hardware I doubt it will run at max settings.
For a paid upgrade it's pretty underwhelming. For me it's $10 and I don't think it's worth it for that level of visual upgrade. The original still looks great.
Are we looking at the same video? The difference between the original and the remaster is wild. Definitely worth 10 bucks for a much better looking game.
OK. I have the OG. Both versions have their good and bad. From what I saw, the main issue with the OG is the illuminated places. It's not "real". At first, I though that the water was best in the RE, but after some other places with water, sometimes the water is better in the OG. Do I miss the transparency of the water?? meh, I don't know... Do I miss the white foam of the water?? Clearly not when I see artefacts and recycles of the same textures. So, yup. OG?? RE?? I stay with the OG. I prefer its "faded" colours, grass is true grass, not like the green "plastic" colour from the RE!! M2C
Original as Ps4 or original pc port? Because i played complete edition on pc, checked my screenshots and reflections looks way better then in this video.
People saying the original looks way better are definitely lying. I played the original, and I don't plan on playing the remastered, but even I know the remastered are leaps and bounds better than the original.
c 'est avant un travail sur la colorimétrie je ne comprend pourquoi les FPS sont divisé par 2 avec l original et effectivement il y a des endroits ou les FPS s effondre complètement ma config correcte 5800 X3D et RX 5700XT tous mes jeux fonctionne parfaitement en écran 32.9 , je crois que ce Remastered a besoins de bcp de correctif pour étire fluide en toutes circonstances, d ailleurs la version original avec les mod FSR2-FSR3 et FG en haut détails 120 FPS en résolution 3820x1080P
My only main issue is how they made her face look so puffy and such for Forbidden West - and now in the remastered first game. I assume they tried to make her look a little more "every day woman" or something. But, they kept her body the same. So, not sure why they changed the look that way.
Of all the remasters that didn't need to happen, this one didn't need to happen the most! -40% performance for +2% (debatable) graphics bling. Not good!
They just use entirely different assets in a lot of scenes, so there's no real winner. They didn't upgrade the assets, like in a lot of remasters, but replaced them. The LOD pop in of the original was annoying though
@@AnimeUniverseDE That's not what they did, though. Rather than just replace file textures from the old game with the new ones, they physically went in and added new objects/foliage. The work involved is insane compared to just a reskin, especially when you consider how large the game world in Zero Dawn is.
doesnt this just show lazy develpors could they not of done this originally . the gaming industry is finished this was one of the better games but go lower down they keep feeding us shite .

There is a good balance between the improved visual quality and perfomance costs. Visual looks stuning on remastered!
Agreed.

Substantially better improvements. Wow. I was waiting for a comparison to come out.

I noticed the tree tops move reaaally weird in remaster, its visible in 2:28, in original the shake was more natural
This remaster and forbidden west always looks like it’s in cinematic quality you know like how cutscenes look 😭I love that
The art style was lost and it looks too much like the second one. Its and upgrade but they plastered greenery over everything so that the remastered version easily looks different even to casual users who would be oblivious to texture changes, more npcs and things like that. They did the same thing with TLOU 1
Idk, that 20-30fps drop is brutal.
look at meridian -40-50 fps, is some area getting 42 fps(6:55), this remaster needs some patches
That's at max settings though. You can probably drop a couple settings like shadows and get better fps while still looking significantly better than the original.
@@gaga1298 it looks like there's a cpu bottleneck there. he's using a 10700f, so I'm not at all surprised.

HZD remastered, now with 16x more saturation!
Yeah it doesn't have a saturation increase. I has a modern lighting rendering engine - so better brightness and contrast recreation.
This is still the most unnecessary remaster of all time
A lot of the comparisons are "look it looks different now"
Not necessarily better, just different
Very accurate way to describe it
then dont buy it
Beautiful music btw
Thanks!
the water is probably the best upgrade...
Remaster: lets put a lot of mods and sell as a remaster
Broh..your modded Skyrim dont look even close to the HZD Original...what you talkin about? 😂Idiot!
Bruh, that's literally what a remaster is. Modified, enhanced graphics. And there were no mods that brought the original even close to this level of quality.

does this game support ultrawide ? or is it already that be default depending on your monitor ?
so the original is also at max settings? a lot of comparisons don't clarify that
Both games were at max settings.
they just made it look a lot more inline with forbidden west for a more seamless transition if u want to replay zero dawn before playing forbidden west.
not a bad option, but a bit too early i think.

I know remastered has better graphics at max settings, but with this hardware I doubt it will run at max settings.
So, it's a comparison b/w Original at Max/High graphic settings v/s Remastered at (maybe) Medium/Low graphics settings.
For a paid upgrade it's pretty underwhelming. For me it's $10 and I don't think it's worth it for that level of visual upgrade. The original still looks great.

@@VinnyAdventuresIt’s not that great
@@southsidetherealest2860ngl it doesnt matter imma p irate it anyway i already own the game on ps4
Wonder how good it would do at 1440p
I already tested the 4070 at 1440p in separate video, you can find it in the recent videos here on this channel.
The original looks more real. The remaster looks like a posterization filter was applied.
OK. I have the OG. Both versions have their good and bad. From what I saw, the main issue with the OG is the illuminated places. It's not "real". At first, I though that the water was best in the RE, but after some other places with water, sometimes the water is better in the OG. Do I miss the transparency of the water?? meh, I don't know...

Original as Ps4 or original pc port? Because i played complete edition on pc, checked my screenshots and reflections looks way better then in this video.
The MSI Afterburner/Rivatuner overlay didn't give the platform away?
as ridiculous as remastering a 2017 game sounds, the visual improvements are kinda crazy.
Can third party mods do a similar thing for games like son of Rome?
No. I mean yes anything is possible but you need to pay those modders money to work on the mods like it's their day job.
60fps on 4k dlss Quality ultra details is exactly the average performance of forbidden west on a 4070. Exactly the same game and assets we can say
People saying the original looks way better are definitely lying. I played the original, and I don't plan on playing the remastered, but even I know the remastered are leaps and bounds better than the original.
if its free update thats cool, but if you already have the original version i think you dont need to buy again

Nearly 30fps loss for not that much of a difference is just not worth it, man.
Creo que sólo me gusta más el REMASTER cuando hay agua...
Странно, а почему эту игру не запретили в рф 😂
the original was a unoptimized mess. i disappointed the remaster is not even near the same performance
My only main issue is how they made her face look so puffy and such for Forbidden West - and now in the remastered first game.
I assume they tried to make her look a little more "every day woman" or something. But, they kept her body the same. So, not sure why they changed the look that way.
the FPS remastered
the graphics look wayyyy better in the original

They just use entirely different assets in a lot of scenes, so there's no real winner. They didn't upgrade the assets, like in a lot of remasters, but replaced them.

Creating completely new assets is a lot more work than just upgrading the old ones, it shows it isn’t half-assed.
@@juancarlosalonso5664 I think they just use Forbidden Wests assets, and replacing assets doesn't mean it's more effort

-20fps for allmost no difference,no thank you.
