Hey i played that on Vita. It was ok. The better Vita monhun clone was Soul Sacrifice though. 
I have played Freedom Wars and I enjoyed the game. Unless the changes something for this remaster. Just be aware that the game ends on a cliff hanger and how there was supposed to be a second game. Also this reminds me of how there is a Nendoroid for one of the characters for this game and even after all these years still sells for close to MSRP since people aren't that interested in here but that may change.
Also I don't remember the baby from the beginning of the game, so maybe they actually added content?
The game is fun and gameplay wise it's basically, what if Monster Hunter was a third person shooter and you could zip around like they are able to in Attack on Titan with their Omi3D gear. In the game you get these monsters that kidnap people and you have to basically cut them open in order to extract the people that they are kidnapping.
Also everyone gets an assistant. I can't recall what you use the assistant for but you can redesign them to what you like. The I beat the story but I never got my prison limit down to 0.
Also a cool thing is that Sony did do songs to promote the game.
The OP of the game. Also I think it changes. This is the male version but if you choose a female MC then the assistant is a male.

Huh, I remember playing this on the Vita.
Also it took them few months but it looks like that Capcom managed to fix Dragons Dogma 2 performance a lot.

Im kind of getting hyped for UFO 50, not sure if I love the idea of it more than I will actually like playing it. Either way I will probably buy it the moments it's available.
Watch them updating it for free on PC and delisting the old version.meanwhile at sony:

The catch? Mandatory PSN account
Yes, I am sure that despite the release of such a heavy hitter as FOAMSTARS, results are down the toilet.

Reached the first Daylight Area after the tutorial, and the game is actually running at 50-60FPS Ultra here.
So the performance issues are most likely related to the shadows or Firelighing.
Rebirth underperforming should have honestly been entirely expected?
It's PS5 exclusive where as Remake was PS4 exclusive with a much larger installbase, and it's also the middle part of a trilogy where it's sales capacity will be limited to people that played remake and liked it enough for a sequel, but won't do much to attract a new audience.

Manager: So we are ordered to pitch a PS4 remaster to the developers. What should we pitch?
Salesperson A: Boss. That's easy. Many people ask for it. Blood-
Salesperson B: HORIZON ZERO DAWN! I HEARD NINTENDO IS MAKING A 4K VERSION OF BOTW SO WE NEED TO RELEASE HZD BEFORE THEM!
Manager: You clever son of a bitch. Horizon it is!
I honestly have no idea why you would Remaster HZD of all games, at least on PC. Its looks are the least of its problems, it still looks great.
Let's be serious here, the one and only reason is money. They want to extract additional money from Horizon fans and the only way is to remaster the first game since 1) the second game is still too new 2) the 3rd game is still too far away and 3) the gaas could do good, but it could also be another Concord

And it's a good little Zelda-clone. But the term clone is fitting here, it's definitely the closest to actual Zelda you can find on Steam... to a fault. Same items but les of them since it's shorter, a lot of really samey enemies, a map that is also by the books and sadly a bit empty... but the dungeons are really in the upper range for the genre, fairly lengthy, with decent puzzle variety and good bosses that don't die in 30 seconds.
It's all been there done that, but done well, I do enjoy that the playable character Lily has a bit of weight to her movements and attacks, it's a bit slippery but make it less button mashy than all too often.
But there are some annoying things, some that could have been fixed. The map is just a blurr of pixels, I think it's just scaled down from the real one... it's almost unusable, you can't really see connections between chunks, and small things like trader camps are just a few pixels that mix with the rest. The side quests are limited, just bring 20 ingredients to the local NPC for a heart piece and then money, you do get a log for said quests and the main quests... but it's one giant scrolling log of every line of dialogue you've seen, so it's also pretty much pointless. And the worst thing, the inventory updates itself by dumping items in order of acquisition, they don't have their own slot, that's very frustrating when you spent so much time switching items, it's more like the GB games than the later ones.
Pretty good, but not amazing. Thankfully, there is a second game, and it is a big improvement. Now to finish it...

Perhaps the HZD remaster is intended to be release around the planned Horizon Netflix series?
That would not be a good reason for a remaster but it would be a reason...

I don't get the frequent Sony remasters either. Their story driven games are (for myself at least) inherently not replayable. I played HZD on a PS4. Nothing would get me to replay it on PC, remastered or simply ported.
After not giving an ass about PC for 11 years Rockstar decides to include BattleEye for GTA5 online. Breaking Steamdeck support for anti cheat that will be broken at release. Offcourse Linux is not a supported platform but this leaves a really sour aftertaste. Thank god I dont care much about GTA online but this sucks for people that play it on the deck.

It can be turned off for SP, and i don't care for MP so it's ok XD
Also God of War Ragnarok is out tomorrow and it is barely in top 10 sellers.

The Old version being just 4 years old and still being used as a PC performance benchmark. Who tf asked for this shit? What about the Nathan Drake collection? What about bringing the old Greek GOW games to PC. Just baffling
I'm sure the Horizon remake was done mostly for PS5 players and is getting a PC port because it doesn't cost all that much to port it to PC.
Ah the optimism of youth! Here's what will actually happen;
No it won't be free.
Yes the old one will get delisted and the new one will cost more (and much more with regional pricing changes).
Yes it will require a PSN login.
The main reason is that they need to fill out their schedules. It takes 5-6 years for a studio to make a single game so with 15 odd studios that's only 3 or so games a year with perfect scheduling. Remasters fill in the gaps. The next reason is because these are cheap to do. A new game costs 200 million dollars or more while a remaster is probably 5 million or less to an outsourced studio. They have the data that tells them enough people will buy it to make it worthwhile. They've sold Last of Us 1 three times now. They're going to sell Last of Us 2 twice. They've sold each Uncharted game at least two times. Then you have the one-offs like Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima and Demon's Souls (the only game that actually warranted it). They clearly think of Horizon as a big tentpole IP so this is on the remaster train as well now.
Port Freedom Wars to PC :: Everybody's Gone to the Rapture General Discussions
Not even sure if this is the right place to post this, but since the store page says this was published by Playstation Mobile I figured I'd give it a try. Freedom Wars is a fantastic action oriented monster hunting game published by Sony on the Playstation Vita. Given the sheer quantity of Vita...
This is the coolest announcement in ages I hope none of y'all sleep on this.
Starting this game was so funny. You start in a cell and begin to walk around and suddenly you get an alarm and big red text saying 5 years have been added to your million year prison sentence because you do not have the right to walk. You go to the bed in your cell and select to sleep and the alarm goes off again with 5 more years added to your sentence because you do not have the right to sleep. In fact, the entire reason you have a million year prison sentence is because you lost state property: your memory.
Pair that silliness with a rad soundtrack, gameplay where you can grapple hook onto objects and enemies to get around, get guns that actually feel like guns instead of whatever the hell God Eater was doing, a really fantastic character creator, great music, great character designs, and some fun and responsive hack and slash combat and its a winner. Also, to get your rights you have to buy the rights by completing monster hunter/god eater esque combat missions but honestly it doesn't really play much like those games. I guess closer to God Eater but its a lot less repetitive than God Eater and the combat feels a lot better.
It wasn't about optimism, just the only way for them to have people upgrade to the new version and make new PSN accounts
Is this list fear-mongering BS or did eastasiasoft's Tokyo Clanpool PC release get blocked by Valve? It was to be the first port eastasiasoft has published on Steam

Considering the screenshots on Gematsu's site shows Ghostlight's 10+ year old keyboard prompts in them, I'm not holding out any hope for this rerelease if I'm being honest. They have a terrible track record on PC. I was looking forward to it based on the fact that EastAsiaSoft was publishing, but this is a massive red flag.
I'd like to know how Reverse 1999 got onto this list.
I remember years ago asking them in their Discord about a Seven Pirates H PC release and they basically told me they didn't see that as being profitable. Tokyo Clanpool being published on PC by them gave me hope of a change of heart, but, well, I'm sure this won't help!
Game will either never see the light of day on PC or will at best be forced to be on another store where sales will be lower.
That Horizon shit has to be a PS5Pro enhanced bundle with Forbidden West or something for console gamers. And PC gamers are just caught in the crossfire...right?
because if not and they actually release an individual SKU for this 2017 game...then wtf are they smoking. Such a stupid waste of time.
I would take a Killzone Shadow Fall remaster instead and that game is very mid too. And they should do that because that was a launch PS4 title that had awful FOV despite being a very good looking title.

This has been a weird year for Idea Factory on pc, regardless of what happens with Tokyo Clanpool. Most of their upcoming 2024 and 2025 games are skipping PC (Death End Z, their Touhou game, Neptunia Riders, Neptunia Gamemaker), despite them being one of the first to start porting their console titles on Steam. Hell Gamemaker came out on Xbox for some reason
And yet they randomly released the Date-a-Live Ren Dystopia on Steam alone, and honestly I don't think that game is less "spicy" compared to most of their latest releases

Maybe it's just me, but I see Sony (Crunchyroll, Funimation, Right Stuff, etc) essentially monopolizing the majority of the western anime distribution space as a huge mistake, and I'm shocked that they haven't been broken up yet. The same people who talk up about Microsoft consolidating a bunch of studios are mysteriously nowhere to be seen when it comes to this, and actually outright defend it in some cases. Crunchyroll already delivers a rather terrible user experience, and the price they're charging doesn't really go back to the pockets of anime studios.
Like it usually is, if you want to support the creators, import merch and blurays from Japan, and cut out the middle-man.
The store bonuses for DERQ Code Z already look rather sauceless compared to their previous games with lower age ratings, and it's been that way ever since Neptunia x Senran Kagura. In a Famitsu interview, there's a part that Gematsu left out of their translation of the article, that effectively says that their new CEO is an ex-Electronic Arts employee, and they've had new policies set in place since NxSK. That was the first red flag for me.
Even Neptunia GameMaker Revolution skipped the PC version in the west in favor of an Xbox version that's likely going to perform worse in sales. My theory is that they got burned from the backlash from changing Neptunia Sisters vs Sister's dialogue in an update (Due to an incorrect ESRB rating that shouldn't affect Steam), and they especially got burned from their past several ports selling badly (Mary Skelter 2 and Finale sold poorly because they were bad ports, and reversing the content changes in 2 through a offsite patch wasn't enough).
Their current happenings are funny, their talks about multiplatform development are mostly empty words at this point.
Anyways, watching a stream for Code Z right now, and even with the CERO Z rating, the violent content really isn't as brutal as the advertising was claiming. This is a spinoff game with Mystery Dungeon gameplay, and next to nothing for event CGs, I'm frankly getting bored from the livestreams. The only benefit is that this game actually runs at 60FPS on the PS5 unlike their previous games. If DERQ 3 or the Calamity Angels games aren't good, I think I'm done with this company. I've seen gacha developers that are less shitty towards their fans and playerbase.
I would rather put $60 towards a gacha game like Zenless Zone Zero, Nikke, Blue Archive, R1999, or Snowbreak than to buy a new Compile Heart game at launch at this point. Been burned way too many times.

I remember buying those early neptunia games just to support those early japanese niche PC port releases. I never even played any of those freaking games. Fun times.
It saddens me to read this because I think there was a period where Idea Factory was heading into a good direction, but it's absolutely true. Both Idea Factory and Nippon Ichi (the japanese side) have been very bad in "adapting" both to current trends, but also to their fanbase needs and wants. It's especially obvious when you compare them to other "Niche JRPG" developers who instead not only put more effort in giving fans what they want, but are also slowly escaping the "niche" like Gust or Falcom. At this point it has gone beyond "self-inflicted wound" and it almost feels like intentional sabotaging
