- Days Gone Remastered has already drawn controversy from fans who wanted a sequel instead of a remaster.
- Graphical comparisons show that Days Gone Remastered looks almost the same as the original game.
- A remaster implies that Bend Studios is looking for a quick profit for the development of their next game.
Bend Studios can’t catch a break as the latest Days Gone Remaster has already caused enough controversy from fans. Players aren’t exactly pleased with another unwanted remaster and expected a sequel instead.
The early gameplay footage from the reveal at the PlayStation State of Play doesn’t help with the argument either. Days Gone Remastered looks nearly identical to the original game.
Why it matters: PlayStation’s first-party studios have repeatedly released useless remasters for games that aren’t even old enough to need one. Once again, fans are in disarray over the lack of visual changes for the remaster.
While the early footage is too less of material to give a proper verdict, the similarity is uncanny. There’s no lighting or texture change at all. PlayStation is quite notorious for altering the face models of protagonists in a remaster, but this time around, not even that change occurred.
The proper detailed analysis will be conducted once the game is released in April 2025. Still, according to fans, the $50 price tag for the standalone remastered isn’t deserving of these changes.
The only notable aspect of the remaster is the additional content, including Permadeath Mode, Horde Assault, and new accessibility features.
However, if there’s one thing to note, these remasters are usually a means to fund the relevant studio’s next game. This implies that Bend Studio is possibly working on a new title, which can potentially be a Days Gone sequel.
Insomniac Games did something quite similar to this in the past, and it’s no surprise that Bend Studios is following in their footsteps. Still, it’s mere speculation at this point, and there is no denying that this remaster was still unnecessary.
