Spatial vs 7.1 Surround

This always confused me, because all my speakers also fire in spatial setting the same as 7.1. Are the audio improvements made to the spatial setting? Is spatial for those that have atmos or should it even be used by those with proper surround sound set ups?

My biggest problem with the remaster is the color correction and the lighting. It doesn't look as pretty and atmospheric as it did in the original. Especially at night. The Charme of the original is gone.

In the OG i was always blown away by the lighting effects. Especially at night it looked soo beautiful. How the light went through gras or the trees. Its completely gone in the remaster. The Color correction is a downgrade and sucks the Atmosphere out of the game. Thats atleast how i see it....

Yes the graphics are more detailed, some Character designs are better now and the stiff conversation-Cutscenes are now better looking (still not nearly as perfect as in Forbidden West). Also, Cutscenes dont run as smooth as i was hoping for. i saw a lot of stuttering or weird glitches. Characters in Cutscenes walking against each other or their hair jumps around.

I love that Aloy can now pick up things without a pick up Animation (for me the best addition).

Overall i'm sadly disappointed with the Remaster.
A Remaster with good improvements, but also downgrades.

PSA about sound issues after cutscenes on Windows

I'm unsure if this is specific to the Steam version but I have it on Steam.

There are many pre-rendered cutscenes and some players have reported that the sound issues where the volume just drops.

If you face this issue with your playthrough, just hit ESC and the Windows key, open the Windows sound mixer and you'll see that the game is now at 30% in the mixer. You can crank it back up to fix the issue.

This repeats with the next cutscene and is very annoying. But I'm guessing the cutscene player is misconfigured or something.

So, please verify and report the bug if you can.

Really enjoying the remaster, but it def needs a patch or two.

I played the intro tutorial section of the OG to the first town/quest area first before playing to the exact same spot of the remaster and I'm pretty impressed.

But there are def some oddities going on. I'm noticing small stutters or hitching during cutscenes, the Audio mix in that first town area has some weird reverb with NPC chatter and sound effects and or volume discrepancies. A few minor floating items or clothing graphic glitches.

This is not killing muh immersion or anything but would be nice if these things were sorted out.

Performance or resolution mode? Ps5. HZD Remaster.

It's my first playthough of this game series and so far im loving absolutely every bit of it.

I was just wondering what mode people will be choosing to play the new remaster HZD. Performance or resolution mode? I personally do not see a big of a difference when switching from resolution mode to performance other than butter smooth 60fps on 4k tv.

What do you guys prefer and why?.

In advance thanks for answers.

I’m dying to know…

Did they update the models for the Tenakth and Utaru characters in the remaster?

Also after watching some of the play throughs it made me realise how much I missed the Banuk in FW. ❄️

Is there supposed to be 3D/directional sound?

When an NPC yells at me to get my attention it sounds like they're right in front of me even though they're behind and to my right up a tree. When I'm running away from the sawtooth I have no idea where it is or how close.

Game audio is in headphone mode, I'm using official PS5 headphones, PS5 audio is not set to mono. I've tried with PS5 3D audio on/off.

The remaster is good and worth $10. Here is what it is missing though:

I think the remaster is good. However, I think there were a few missed opportunities to improve the game further:

  1. Implementing a stash system.

  2. Increasing weapon wheel from 4 to 8.

  3. Yellow markers in focus mode to show where to climb.

  4. Replacing pre-rendered cutscenes with live rendering. This is especially jarring when you beat the final boss and Aloy is wearing a different outfit in the celebration cutscene.

While there are probably other things that could have been improved, I think these 4 things would have been simple to implement without a ton of extra work. Thoughts?

Carry on Achievements Zero Dawn Remastered

I am steam player, it is possible to import saves from the original game, but I want to also be able to carry over the achievements. Just before the remastered version was announced, I completed the original game except for the new game+ achievements, so naturally, I thought it was the perfect chance to replay the game with improved graphics and also complete all the achievements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no option to do so, if I want to platinum the game I have to either go back to the non remastered version and get the missing achievements or start the game from scratch in the remastered version and abandon my progress.

Is the Meridian theme still in the Meridian city? In the remaster I mean. I've seen a couple play throughs and the classic violin song didnt come on? it comes on when you meet Erend there at the front gate in the orginal. Do you have to go back again and then the song will trigger? as it didnt

Anyone know? did they change or does the song show up under return visits?

Does Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster on PC & PS5 Support Cross-Save?

Hey everyone!

With the release of the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster, I’m thinking about upgrading on PS5, PC, or maybe both. I already own the Complete Edition on PS4 and PC, and I’ve heard the remaster now includes PSN integration on PC, allowing players to earn PlayStation trophies.

With this PSN integration, does anyone know if save data can carry over between PS5 and PC if I buy the remaster on both platforms? Thanks in advance for any info on cross-progression!

I really appreciate FW more after playing ZD remaster

I'm enjoying the new FW graphics for the ZD remaster and the better dialogue cutscenes, but man there are so many QoL updates I wish they would've brought over from FW. Inventory management really feels alot worse than I remember. No free fast travel from campfires is a bummer. No weapon upgrading. No transmog. No colorblind options. Overall enjoying my time with the remaster but I really wish more QoL features had been included.

Remaster on PS5

For some reason I have to double tap R3 to toggle concentration on or off. Is that just me or is that universal?

Any secret FW machines in the Remaster?

Would be fun if NG+ had some adjustments, bring in a Tremortusk or something.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered FSR3 Frame-gen broken?

I think FSR 3 frame-gen is broken in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. I'm playing on PC with a RTX 3080 and 7800x3d.

For comparison, in Forbidden West with DLSS Balanced, if I disable FSR 3 frame-gen I get 60-70fps. With frame-gen on, this jumps to 90-120fps.

However, in Zero Dawn Remastered with DLSS Balanced, if I disable FSR frame-gen, I hear my GPU spinning louder as it spits out 60-70fps. BUT when I enable frame-gen, my GPU winds down, but it's still only around 60-70fps when I don't have any such framerate cap set anywhere. Rightfully, this should be spitting out the same as Forbidden West, but it's not doing that.

Anyone else experience this?

Shellsnapper site removed

Hello Reddit. So i need to farm some shellsnapper resources and i hate the northern site beacouse there are too many spkesnouts so i found online a shellsnapper site that i think it’s removed. However i didn’t find any evidence of its removal on the internet and i spent around half an hour searching (I’m playing the ps4 version on ps5) i even checked the update history on the app itself and nothing. I’m talking about the north-eastern site of the desert (Las Vegas) where now is a tracker borrower site between a shelter and a campfire.i don’t know what to think anymore but I’m very frustrated. So please help me if you know something about that site

Remastered is great.... but...

I miss the glider. I jumped off the cliff right at the start of the game without even thinking. I wish I could say this is the first time I've done this in a game.

Can you get trophies in NG+ in HZD Remaster?

So I've gotten the remaster for hzd and imported my save from the ps4 version but I've started a playthrough on NG+. But I feel like I've torn off 10 components from machines and still haven't gotten the trophies for it. Do trophies only count in NG or can I platinum the game entirely on NG+?

AI voice

I hope some of the horizon fans know the amount of ridicule and bad reviews horizon 3 would get if they used AI to voice sylens lines into the game would not be a good look on Sony and guerilla. Cause the amount of people I’ve seen bring up that thought in posts and comments since lances death. It’ll be the most bad reviewed horizon game. So it’s best to recast his voice, make him mute or work around him going missing or dying.

Would be nice to get separate audio sliders for random NPC banter.

I can't be the only one who thinks random NPCs are a bit too loud on the audio side. They sometimes also sound like they have a bit of reverb or effect going on that should be toned down.

Fantastic work of course, but I'd like to turn NPCs down by like 3 notches and keep all the main dialogs at the same level. At times when you pass by a random NPC it sounds like they are almost yelling at you when talking to somebody else. I prefer random NPCs to basically be in the background as they should be and not in the main focus of the audio unless needed.

Otherwise, this remaster is golden.

You have to play the og Zero Dawn to realize just how much of an improvement HFW is

So I've recently finished Forbidden west and decided to boot up zero dawn after that, and man, the more I play it the more I appreciate Forbidden west. Limited inventory (every category of it, even weapons, armor and weaves/coils) - gone. Robotic npcs and static dialogues - gone. Relatively small skill trees - improved. Scanning your surroundings instead of going full focus all the time - added (and I can't for the life of me understand how it wasn't there in Zero Dawn). Focus interface - improved. I'm not going to mention graphics since this one is obvious. Forbidden west also adds new enemies, new weapons, gives us even more lore, adds a couple of new side activities...man, almost every aspect of this game is a huge improvement compared to Zero Dawn. I know that all of what I wrote has probably been said before thousands of times, but I took some of the things in FW for granted (the stash and focus interface for example), so I had to share my realization and appreciation here.

Why can't I play the remastered version?!!

I own the PS4 disc version of this game. Every time I try to upgrade to the Remastered version PlayStation continuously wants to charge me for a brand new digital version of the game. I don't want that digital version. I just want to play with the disc I have the best way possible and Sony won't let me. I have tried everything and trying to talk to PlayStation support online is like blowing my nose with a grilled cheese sandwiche. Impossible! Can ANYONE help?!

Questions about Zero Dawn Remaster

Hi, I preordered the zero dawn remaster a few weeks ago and finally turned it in today. I had some questions.

  • Did we get any remaster pre order bonuses ( outfits, weapons etc)? I couldn’t find any.

  • Did we have a glider in zero dawn? I can’t remember. I jumped off a cliff in zero dawn and pressed square and no glider and died.

  • Did we have the focus pulse feature in zero dawn like we do in FW ( when you press R3)

  • Did zero dawn have legendary weapons? I can’t find any in new game plus.

Sorry these might be stupid questions. I haven’t played zero dawn in 2 years and can’t remember these things.

Can't launch that game (Remastered, Steam PC)

Hi everyone!

I preloaded the installation on Steam yesterday, all happy. I launch it this evening and then it's impossible to launch the game, it crashes after the Guerilla logo appears...

I launch Steam, run the files check and Steam is "unable to check 219 files". Either, Steam downloads the missing files and I launch the game...which crashes immediately.

I restart my PC, run the verification, then the game and miracle! the logos scroll smoothly, then the introductory cinematic launches and I arrive on the title screen, import a save and....CRASH

I restart the game, it doesn't work, I redo the whole procedure and come back to the title screen. I say to myself "too bad, I've only got an hour to play the game in the previous version, I'll just start a new game", and then, guess what, it crashes.

In short, I can't take it anymore. A three-day weekend is coming up, I had planned to spend some of it on this game that I hadn't had the chance to play when it was released, and here it is...

I don't find so many similar problems online, any help is good to take!

Thanks a lot!
