2nd time attempting the game and having a blast right now. One area though which is a bit frustrating is having multiple machines next to each other.

For a quest I needed to clear some machines and I had 3 enemy types and two apex enemies too.

Every single one needed a different element.

Seemed like such over kill.

One or two elements I get but I was forever in my radial wheel.

Ps5 Upgrade Question

I realize i can get the Upgrade For $10 Bucks if i brought it. I have the Disc Version, and yes i know how that works. My Question is How many Gbs will i have to Download it says 85.76 but if I've already got it Downloaded Ps4 Version Just how big of a Update will it Be in GBs. Most games like this you don't have to download the Full 85Gbs, it always smaller if you have the old downloaded. That's my Question. Thank You

Remaster upgrade not showing in PS Store (UK)

Happy remaster day! I’ve installed my PS4 disk version of HZD onto my PS5 in readiness for the remaster release, but the upgrade isn’t showing in the store for me. What am I doing wrong? I’ve got all my snacks ready and everything! The disk is the Complete Edition.

HZD remastered: Major flickering in cutscenes/dialog at 40fps

Hi, Been playing the HZD Remastered for 2 hours now on PS5 on an LG CX tv, I went for the 40fps mode since it worked great in forbidden west. I encounter flickering/glitches in the background during most dialogs. Nothing during gameplay though and no problem when I switch to resolution or performance mode. Seems to be a 120hz specific issue ? Anyone has had the same problem ? It's impossible to ignore Thanks

Gyro aim in HZD Remastered?

Can we play the Remaster with gyro aim? Loved it in HFW because it's much more precise than aiming with sticks.

If you don't know what I'm talking about:

Quick question about zero dawn

I’ll be getting the ps5 pro when it releases and will play the horizon games. However in a lot of games I don’t do the side quests. The only side quests I do are like the ones in rdr 2. Actually interesting. Does zero dawn have interesting side quests or can I just leave them? Same for forbidden west

Datapoints in HFW on PC

Hello, at the moment I am on my first playthrough of FW and I have the problem that there is no key on PC to directly open found data points. Having to go though the whole menu and then search for the right entry is pretty annoying. If I remember it right, there was such a key in zero dawn. Did I just mess around to much with the key bindings?

Happy Remaster Day!

To the veterans, may your nostalgia be sweet! To those who've waited to play for the first time, enjoy well! We're in for a ride!

Happy Halloween! And a thank you to Guerrilla for this masterpiece of a game! I always wanted a chance to play HZD for the first time again and feel that wonderment once more, and this is the closest we can get without a pimped DeLorean.

HZD remaster save transfer from standard PS4 version

So, I have the standard PS4 version of HZD with the DLC and everything. I remember when the complete edition was given for free during the pandemic, I wasn't able to play it with my save from the standard version. No big deal, I played the standard version.

The problem now is that when trying to import my standard version save into the remaster, the game looks up my complete edition saves instead.

I have hundreds of hours in that save, with a loadout of multiple of items that can only be acquired once per playthrough. I don't want to start from zero. Am I screwed?

EDIT: The standard and complete editions as well as the remastered are all digital from the same PSN region (Brazil)

UPDATE: I managed to get it to work. What happened was that I had a save file from the complete edition, the one that is created automatically when you open the game. Due to that, the remastered only tried looking for the save files from the complete edition. I deleted this save and the remaster showed up my old saves from the standard version.

So is the Platinum even possible if I do a NG+ run in Remaster?

From what I read, there's no autopop, so if I transfer my finished NG save, I will never be able to get certain trophies like getting the full skill tree or getting the armor and so on, right? Meaning you can only get the Platinum if you start from scratch?

Can anyone who's playing the Remaster confirm how this works?

Difference with Child Aloy's voice lines?

I've just started a fresh playthrough in the remaster, and I swear child Aloy's voiceless in the cave feel different. The last time I played through this bit was a couple months ago, right before they announced the remaster.

Also, quick note on bugs, there's some kinda issue with text in the general settings page, where it will overlap the text telling me to download the Spanish VO pack with the description if whichever setting.

So the kids in the intro

I've never noticed it before but in the rock throwing competition (lol) scene there are two dark skinned kids on the side - kill me if those aren't smol Varl and Vala

They're about the same age as Aloy and Bast anyway

Missed opportunities

They should have added the shieldwing as an option for a new game +, and maybe let you fly Glinthawks.

Remaster content when starting new game

Quick question: if I opt to start a new game in the remaster instead of importing a PS4 save, will I still get the extra items from the complete edition like I did in the original game?

Anyone else getting ‘tinny’ audio in the HZD remaster?

I feel like for 75% of the dialogue audio I’m getting a high-pitch, almost ‘tinny’ sound effect over the top of it.

I’ve tried using the different audio mixes(?) in the settings, but nothing seems to fix it. Am I going crazy?

I just downloaded the Remaster, and it seems a bit choppy so far

I just started the game, and notice some stuttering in the graphics, or lag. Is anyone else noticing that? I'm a bit worried. Maybe it's just my PS5?

Quick Ultra Hard Trophy in HZDR?

I have 100% HZD in the past and still have all my saves,

has anyone tried to import a NG+ Ultra Hard save right before completing like on the final boss, and then defeating the final boss to see if the Ultra Hard trophy will pop on the Remaster?

I still plan on replaying the full game and collecting all the trophies again but was just cuious if I could make this specific one a little quicker cause I rushed through it anyways maxed out on everything after multiple NG+

Anybody playing on PS5? Can't get past the tutorial

I can't fire my bow in the prologue tutorial, when Rost is teaching you how to hunt. Aiming with L2 works, but then pressing R2 does nothing.

????

EDIT: Figured it out. Apparently "Aim Hold/Toggle" is just broken; if you set it to Toggle, the aiming/firing mechanics will not work.

nixxes need to launch some kind of tv series that spans 10 seasons for the horizon universe - some ideas to get the ball rolling

edit - Guerrilla not nixxes sorry (or some tv studio I really don't care)

I've completed hzd and wow can't wait to do the remaster then forbidden west, but seriously they need to launch a tv series as the story is just so compelling and somewhat original (in my opinion)

some ideas (totally freestyling here)

  • they should introduce some sort of hibernation into the future where aloy gets trapped in a cubicle and then wakes up 4 centuries later in a more advanced society
  • alternatively aloy time travels backward and somehow manages to warn the ancients/old ones
  • aloy becomes a part machine herself in some kidnapping from some advanced being that is a mystery in itself
  • some of the old ones managed to phase into another universe/parallel existence and have come back to reclaim their world
  • rost returns somehow (not sure i've figured this one out yet but perhaps using some genetic material) and has a fresh start as a baby
  • the old ones have blended into society and forms another tribe that is hidden (a bit like the marvel's wakanda) - these are unknown and discovered when a seismic shift reveals advanced energy signals or something like that (I'm now totally making this up as I go along)
  • the old ones were also at war with another enemy (that was not mentioned in the original game) and that enemy has somehow been thrown into the past (ok sorry it's now getting worse.. I'll stop here)

what do you think about a tv series? could be better than fallout

Warning Regarding the Remaster

Hi, all. It’s been ages since I last submitted anything on this sub. Last time I did so, I was shocked when I saw that Guerilla had used several of my Photo Mode screenshots for that Community-driven PS4 theme they released back when the game originally launched!

So, long story short, I put in 130 hours into the original game when I competed it on ultra Hard Mode +. I loaded up my save file that hasn’t been touched since I did that, but as a warning, be aware that there are some crashes in the game.

For one, I’m unable to travel to Meridian. The game automatically crashes on me if I attempt that. In fact, traveling anywhere outside of the first main area you have access to at the beginning of the game causes an auto crash, so be careful with fast travel for now.

Outstanding!

Rock textures, water, Aloy's model, foliage... incredible job! I've only played 15 minutes as I have to go to work tomorrow, but wow, really excited to replay this. All the UI, sound effects and music, art design... good to be back in the Sacred Lands!

Does anyone know whether NG+ in the remaster allows replayability of the childhood portion of the game?

Got the remaster and waiting for the clock to hit launch time, wondering whether ng+ will allow full replayability or skip straight to the adult portion of the game?
