One of the most disappointing announcements at the most recent PlayStation State of Play was undoubtedly the reveal of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. Announced before the awesome-looking Ghost of Yotei, the paid remaster received much criticism from fans.
However, some social media users have used an image comparison to push the story that the new remaster is graphically inferior to the PS4 original. In response, a developer for the new PS5 game has pushed back.
“We brought over Aloy’s model from Forbidden West. We also reworked the character lighting to match the look of HFW and improve skin tones. Hair shaders are also improved,” the developer explained. “The slight blurring you see between PS4 and PS5 is because the PS4 image here has motion blur turned off.”
