A little under four years after its PC port, and PlayStation has delisted Horizon Zero Dawn. That's because Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered will soon take its place, with the original game now unavailable to purchase on either Steam or the Epic Games Store. The upcoming remaster of the game will be out on October 31st, meaning those who didn't grab the game before it left digital storefronts won't have long to wait, however, the new release will feature a mandatory PlayStation Network account requirement--something that the original did not. This has been a controversial sticking point for most of PlayStation's PC ports, with most of their library, including single-player titles such as God of War Ragnarok and Until Dawn needing players to have a PSN account to link, even if they're only interested in playing on PC.
For those that live in countries where they're unable to create a PSN account, or want to have an offline copy of the game, Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is still being sold on GOG.
Actually a small objection to this part. The fact how much Switch costs for how little it offers including the quality or rather the lack of such and bombards people with "buy this extra stand", "buy this extra piece of plastic" to make it really "complete" is something they did with Switch full swing. I agree however that before Switch it wasn't a case or at least not in such a big scale.
i personally never had anything missing from my switch
and over the 6 years i've had it, the only changes i have made are sd card purchases, which ultimate ended with a 1.5tb sd card, a swapped out dock for an oled dock so i could have that sweet sweet ethernet port for a hard wired connection instead of wifi, and a cheap ass usb fan from amazon in order to keep the oled dock cool because holy fuck does that thing get HOT
nintendo doesn't run around delisting games when a remake comes out or double the price tag or the original version
nintendo doesn't charge an arm and a leg for a console that's missing various key features
nintendo doesn't charge people for an upgraded version of a game they already own
nintendo doesn't re-release the same game over and over with the word remake/remaster slapped all over it 12+ different times
the only bad thing i've ever seen nintendo do, is go after emulators that cause the creators to make some kind of profit off of, same with rom sites that make some kind of profit
nintendo sues the shit out of anyone who decides to
- make a free game inspired by their ip, regardless of quality. if you reply with "what else could they do?". see how SEGA handled the Sonic Mania thing. made by a couple of fans, SEGA were impressed employed the developers and paid them a shitton of money after they saw how successful it was commerically.
- DMCA and take down yuzu and ryujinx, preventing anyone who legally owns switch copies of their games, to dump them onto their pc and play them with vastly improved visuals.
- Unlike sony who apart from stuff like this, which i never said i agree with, generally DECREASE the price of their titles after a period of time. At the very least have regular deep discounts on them a year or so after they release them. Something shitnendo never does. They instead pick the "evergreen" model. You know, still charge full RRP for games over SEVEN years old and never discounts them at all (aka Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe). 2 of those 3 games are even OLDER than that considering they were originally Wii U titles, not switch ones. You know, the same shit everyone is blasting sony for doing right now with horizon zero dawn. HZD was a ps4 title, never released on ps5. shitnendo have done the same thing many many times with not just the titles i mentioned above, but a bunch of other wii u "exclusives". Whats the difference between them porting Mario Kart 8 slapping deluxe on the end and selling it for the same price on a new console with minute graphical enhancements, and sony doing what they are doing? Now i feel and smell dirty defending sony when i really didnt want to, cheers.
- Shitnendo were the first console company to delist entire digital libaries (Aka the original wii) from their online marketplace, making it impossible to redownload digital games that you have purchased from them in the past. In true shitnendo style, NO REFUNDS, ofc. Since then they have done this to the 3DS and Wii U store also, setting a precedent which game microsoft the balls to do the same thing to the xbox 360 store this year.
- Only company who has ever had the nerve to try and patent not art, games or character designs, but actual fucking gameplay mechanics. So for example if they were to patent horse mounts in games, no other company in the future would be allowed to make a game where any character can travel around a game on any animal without either being DMCA'd, sued or even enormous royalties for. (See Palworld)
- Lastly, they force third party developers to not release THEIR products and IPs on any other platform, even a decade after its released for "Exclusivity". Games they neither own the IP for, or had any part developing the game, art, gameplay or mechanics for. (See Bayonetta 2, 3, Astral Chain, Xenoblade series)
But yeah, keep sucking the shitnendo peen, they have you well and truly brainwashed. If they wanted part of the PC gaming pie, do what sony and microsoft do, put your shit on steam/epic and sell it there. Hell, they could put out all their launch switch titles charge $80 for it and they would still make a fortune. But they are stubborn assholes, expecting people to purchase and play their games on technology that is on par with a mobile phone from 10 years ago, then have the nerve to STILL charge $300 for the antique piece of garbage.
I dont play on consoles and havent for years. PS5 pro is overpriced sure, but ANYONE who bitches about sony's pricing on that yet defends or buys nintendos overpriced potatos have no right to comment on pricing for anything. I'm out

Once the switch 2 comes out, nintendo will quickly delist the switch shop and void every purchase you ever made with your account on that platform too. I'd feel sorry for you if you weren't so adamant defending their disgusting, draconian methods of treating their own customers like crap. As it is, you reap what you sow.
Hillariously wrong. Sega has a patent on racing games with arrows telling the player where to go, and Namco held a patent on loading screen minigames until it expired.

From reading your post I get the impression that you spend a lot of your free time disliking Nintendo. I suggest you find something healthier to fixate on. Try going outside.
This is the dumbest shit ever. I love it when Sony makes a remaster of a game that doesn't even needs it, then racks up the price or delists the original game, and people say Nintendo sucks.

Most of the posts in this topic are some of the dumbest shit ever and "racks up the price" sounds like a personal problem. It's $10 for me and I never bought the original version.

That's more or less what I meant, just with a little change. It's not strictly that it's MISSING like in PS5 Pro case which is a heresy second only to abandoning Vita. I mean it more like... Let's take Wii for example. You open it up, there is console, Wiimote, the STRAP to it so you won't accidentally swing it all over the room. It's complete in every possible way. The additions like Steering Wheel are more about cosmetics and maybe some "feels", not that much about "need". Switch is a bit different in that manner, there is protective case that "you should" buy, then there are joycon caps that "you should" buy, then there is traveling bag that "you should" buy. There is probably some kind of stand, holder and whatnot else, they are not "required" in the sense that console won't work without them but they are "required" in the sense that console is kinda "incomplete" without them. Even putting aside how absolutely horrendous the joycons are in terms of "quality"...
PS4 first but you never know. PS3 and Vita have quite well status of emulation and they are partially abandoned by Sony.
Coincidence? I don't think so!

I wish I understood the hate on requiring a PSN account besides certain regions not being able to create one but maybe i'm just being biased cause I've had a sony account since 2004 lol

You're in the US with access to a free PSN account. Wtf you crying about? Or are you one of those people that bitched about the remaster announcement, what a waste it is, how you'd never spend money on it, blah blah blah. Then commented triggered af about the PSN requirement as if you were even going to buy it in the first place.
There's one thing I've leaned about this place. Most people are just never happy. There's a Nintendo article and everyones "FUCK NINTENDO!!!! NINTHENDO SUCKS!!!". There's a PlayStation article and its "FUCK SONY!!! PLAYSTATION CAN FUCK OFF!!!". There's an Xbox article. "MS CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!". Ya'll a bunch of soft ass sniveling adult babies.
