Days Gone or Gravity Rush REMAKE'S (not remastered) would get me to open my wallet. Horizon/GoW would not. There is no reason to remaster those games. How is it that Naughty Dog and Bend dont even have anything to SHOW at this point? Neither has had anything this gen (maybe media molecule as well?). Can they really be more than 2 years out? Are they going to skip the PS5 entirely? Its becoming a joke at this point. This is MS during the xbox one crap all over again.

People talked about how hard the PS3 was to develop for, yet new games in franchises were churned out every 3 years or so. I get that games have gotten more complex but how did we go from 3 years to 8 years so quickly?

I mean Bend almost missed the PS4 gen. They launched a game in 2012, then launched Days Gone in 2019. Basically an entire generation. (PS4 launched in 2013, PS5 launched in 2020. So if they were a year off, Days Gone could have been a launch PS5 game.)

In a lot of cases, those games actually had longer development times. They just started while something else was getting out the door. Like the Last of Us started in ~2009, and was released in 2013. So basically 4 years during the PS3 gen. 

And we sometimes still get sequels taking about that long. God of War Ragnarok (2018 - 2022).
