She was alright even in the original. Emotion was displayed quite well through the facial animations. This time the lighting on the skin simply looks better making the model look less like plastic or cartoon. The change I actually wanted, was so they would make Aloy's model more like the actual real live model she was based on. She still has the chubby look and Bruce Willis jawline. Though I knew that wasn't gonna happen.
@@ChrisAlbertH47 I disagree. Mocap was not so good in base game. But the frozen wilds expansion had better mocap. In sidequests, the camera would switch from character to character in RPG game fashion. Now it all looks more cinematic and the mocap in even the sidequest looks far better.
@@saivivekm.v2411 My emphasis was on facial animation. It's more specific than mocap in general (though I personally didn't have any issue with the general mocap either). And the reason I emphasized that is because in a narrative driven game, what gives "life" to a character is their ability to emote and express thoughts and feelings so that they can elicit similar reactions or emotions in players.
True, looks 10x better on my LG C1 with HDR. And this is after I played the original with much worse HDR display (it was the first models, painted whole game in orange color lol).
@ThwipThwipBoom yeah I've played an hour of the remaster,and it looks great on the lg c3,but waiting till the pro arrives on Thursday till play through it
Comparing my initial playthrough on a first HDR model that showed everything in orange color (not a good HDR) to this Remaster version, this is a night and day change, so much better looking, especially on my current LG C1.
I only spent $15 for the complete edition so in my position a $10 upgrade is not a cash grab for me. Edit response to the first comment All I can say is work was put into the remaster and not just a resolution update - bushes,trees,plants have been upgraded - number of NPCs have increased to feel more alive - 10 hours of motion capture was put in -Deformable snow and sand has been added
@AnthonyOlan seriously ps games going to pc every single so u can say the same thing. Now again stop with excuses if they update any game graffics wise it's free of charge
She looks more like the face model in the Remaster. I'm downloading it now but given all the talk, pictures, and video IMO, it would be a good upgrade.
She looks nothing like Ashley Burch who is both the mo-cap and VA for Aloy. Aside from that the game looks absolutely amazing....10/10 for how good it looks over the original which already looked better than most games anyway.
@@MrMarvel0521 Correction: She looks nothing like Hannah Hoekstra who is the face model for Aloy. Because of the game embellishments through the art direction and a bit of the game narrative, Aloy has always looked like a relative of the actual face model, but never an gamified version of the real life person. This is due to the artist blending Hannah's facial features with the Elizabet Sobek character model. Because Aloy is a clone, she is supposed to look like a young Elizabet and the face model was chosen because she shares the same facial structure as the Elizabet model. The Elizabet model is a drawing from the art team and therefore there is no real person to which you can compare her in game model to. When the game was being made they searched for a model who looked like she can be the younger daughter of Elizabet and then merged features from that drawing over to the facial scan of Hannah. In the game, they had to give Alloy freckles to match Elizabet's red hair, they also gave her face a bit more color to look like she was exposed to alot more sunlight. The result is a character that has a face model that shares features with her real life model but never looks exactly like her. This is a contrast to say Sylens, who is made to look exactly like Lance Reddick. Or how Tilda in Forbidden West looks exactly like Carrie Ann Moss. Aloy shares a resemblance to her face model but she doesn't look exactly like the real life person.
Waters, hairs, clothes and face details are the most noticeable in my eyes. Facial expressions are way more immersive. Other than those, everything else look good on both versions. It can be argueable that the remastered enviroment, is more " realistic" but this game have a strong art style so, I do not care too much of realism, on games with such beautiful art style.
If I don't look at it side-by-side, I won't really realize any changes while playing it. It's because the original was already so good looking at the time I played it, that playing it now would just give me the similar feeling.
Brother, if you've played the original then you could see the obvious difference when they revealed it. It's like saying forbidden west looks the same as the original. It doesn't, and neither does this.
Well, I think the remastered version looks better. Nicer water, better environment, more details, better day/night/weather changes. They just added too much fog in some places. For €10 I think it's great.
Maybe, I had a much worse HDR display back then, but in Remaster today I couldnt stop going into screenshot mode to take pictures of the machines and how they look so good on a better HDR display (LG C1)
In this current time point when graphics are unable to achieve generational leap in visual fidelity any sort of graphical upgrades will mean a lot to people who place emphasis on graphical enhancements. In the future when graphics are truly able to achieve generational leap just like the PS1 to PS2 days that is when people will look back at the graphical differences between PS4 and ps5 and laugh at us for wasting so much time defending and singing the praises of graphical advancement right now which is such a joke at the moment. Also one last point before ending this post. The remasters of today always like to mess with the games lighting in it unnecessarily. It totally changes and destroys the mood in a lot of games in the process.
Every generation of people always say the same things as you but the boundary never ceases to expand. There are still two big threshold that haven't been realised yet. True to life graphics and virtual reality that are capable of supporting true to life graphics.
@@anglo-saxonconnor817 We didn't got such as a big jump from PS1 to 2 since that one xd. PS3 to 4 was significantly more focused on other things than pure visual fidelity. Its always getting better but the steps get smaller
@@anglo-saxonconnor817 Photorealism is not a goal tbh. We already got some stuff that's photorealistic it's awful. I don't see any reasons why someone actually want a real Videogame photorealistic. Actually we need to go back to more stylized but technically advanced stuff rather than aiming for boring photorealism
You all do realise if you believe another true great generational leap in visual fidelity will never revisit this world again then you all will be spending the rest of your lives fighting over splitting hair differences in computer graphics? Well you guys have fun in the years ahead. I am not going to participate in this madness.
The Remaster is very dark at night, I had to increase contrast a lot to see anything. Faces lost a lot of details an are more muddy. I liked the old crysper look of the faces.
Haven’t played this since the OG and never played the dlc, actually last week grabbed the forbidden west complete. So I’ll play this first. Happy to revisit with some shiny new paint.
Nixxes started working on the franchise doing patches to the Zero Dawn PC port, then they did the PC port for Forbidden West. They're pretty familiar with the engine and assets at this point.
It's an improvement for sure but what I'd love way more than more Horizon is for Guerrilla to return to Killzone. I want to see what they can do with that IP with modern hardware.
@@Lyoko42o I saw their comment and I think never say never. Alien Isolation 2 was recently announced and its sequel hopes were similarly abandoned not long after its release in 2014. If there's sufficient demand, Killzone can return.
I bought the remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn and it definitely looks better. I mean, the original game already looked good and I have no complaints except for maybe the characters having stiff facial animations. Gladly the remaster takes care of that.
Really want to play the remaster but decided to wait a few days more to play on the Pro for the biggest difference between the original and the remaster
I never finished it originally, and I never got the DLC, so $10 isn't too bad for my situation. Unfortunately, my backlog is just crazy right now, so it'll have to wait.
I got the original game free from PlayStation network years back as a Christmas gift, i tried it and never fully clicked with it. I got to admit the game looked great. Now im thinking of giving the remaster ago and for £10 thats great, especially for me as i didnt pay for the base game. Now looking back maybe i didnt give the original a good go.
It would be cool if let say.. you earned platinum or 90% of trophies on a game through ps plus...and after the game gets delisted from the psplus library, Sony would give you an exclusive discount to purchase the game. I'm still miffed about not being able to finish Stray before it got booted. Like 2 chapterss left to go on it,$30 is a little steep for me to finish them. I was glad that I finished everything possible in FFXV just days before they removed it for good. I even had a little time left over to play through the dlc episodes, which I did pay for. There are a few games that came and went through ps plus that I would love to pick back up again but I'm not paying retail to do it. Someone forward this comment to Sony's suggestion box.
I paid like 20 bucks for the PC version, so I aint see a problem with paying 10 bucks when clearly a lot of work was put on to it... I am not gonna playing it right now though.
Glad they updated the first game. Going from first game into the second game the difference is too much. Now, the 2 games on the same path together.....not looking like they are decade(s) apart. Series (S Tier) is worth the time and effort into updating.
TBH I would be down more for a remake that is actually Forbidden West level. Just like Last of Us Part 1 did. Don't get me wrong - I'm playing the remaster now and it's definitely an improvement, but it's just not the level of Forbidden West.
If you own the base game, upgrading to the remastered version also gives you the Frozen Wilds DLC. This DLC alone costs more than the remastered upgrade in PSN Store. So it is logical to purchase remastered upgrade rather than buying the DLC.
My thoughts: I'd gladly pay money for it as I'm a great fan of the Horizon story & worldbuilding, but I'm too disgusted by the network account thing to buy.
A complete visual overhaul and some new mocap sounds a lot more expensive than the $15 (CAD) asking price so this was an easy decision to buy it. Pluz ZD is the better, more focused game. FW was so bloated That said, there's a LOT of physics bugs especially during cutscenes
Here we can examine the generational leap from the same game on PS4 remastered to a PS5.. and specifically why so many people didn't upgrade from PS4, not because of covid or being broke but because everyone isn't mindlessly following the person in front of them
I know alot of people are mad because this game didnt need an upgrade but you gotta admit it looks pretty dang good. Hard to believe its just a remaster and not a complete remake
After playing Forbidden West I can really see the areas this game is lacking; terrible inventory management, having to spend a bunch of skill points only to be able to unequip coils, no transmog, no glider , these are all things that made gameplay a lot more enjoyable in the sequel
It would be nice if you could "upgrade" the game on pc to the remastered version if you have the original. I know you can do so on Playstation but sadly I have the game on pc and I bought it like month before the remastered was released.
Played the original on Ps4 using an entry level 4k hdr Sony Bravia and I think it was okay but saturation was so bad. I wanna try this remastered with my LG C2 and see if there's a huge difference tho I think I might need to play it side by side with my old Sony
I didn't own the original, I played it though ps plus... I don't remember if frozen wilds was included in the psplus version or if I bought it after loving the game. I would play the remaster version but $50 is a little out of my price range for the updated experience. Maybe $30
When I first heard about the remaster, I thought 'meh'. But then i pre-ordered it anyway because I figured $10 is reasonable. The game looks VERY nice. Now I gotta platinum it again. 😂
I have played both games and Horizon Forbidden West is a mile better graphics, sharp, and deep saturation of colours. If you want a big upgrade in graphics go for Horizon Forbidden West.
I have a GTX-1650 with i7-10750H & 24GB RAM. Any suggestions which one will have better graphics - the original version or the remastered version. I know remastered has better graphics at max settings, but with this hardware I doubt it will run at max settings.
5:50 looks like a downgrade to me. Not everything is an upgrade. Saw some other instances where the new one looks worse and bland. I already playes the original but not the DLC, so I might give it a go
Tempted but too lazy to play a game I’ve already finished, even with graphical improvements. My games backlog is just too overwhelming on PC, Switch, and PS5
Sony is creatively bankrupt. Concord is testament. It is in their best interest to remaster/remake ALL of their successful IPs. MedEvil, Shadow of the Colossus, Spyro Trilogy, Crash Trilogy, etc. are testament. They're sitting on pots of gold with Bloodborne.
The environments definitely look better, but some of the faces they look more natural in the original. Yes the remastered has higher resolution when it comes to the faces, but it looks more fake. The original faces look more natural with lower resolution. Like here 0:51 it’s no question the right one has higher resolution. But the left one looks more natural and realistic. I’m not saying it is realistic. I’m saying it looks more realistic. 0:51 again here even the cloth shirt she’s wearing looks more detailed and natural in the original. 1:55 here again Rosts face looks more natural and real than remaster. The colors in the remaster here just looks more fake like plastic.
They don't at all. I've played about 4 hours of the remaster on my s90c and the character models look way better than the original. The shitty youtub compression doesn't do it justice at all
Graphics look better but the dialogues and mouth movement is bad. Hair clipping through npc during cut scenes. And i feel the movement is little sluggish in ps5
Everybody hates on this remaster for $10 but let’s be real the character models and the detail before looked like some porcelain dolls. They definitely look a lot more realistic now and for somebody who’s never beat it or played it before totally worth it over the original. But I totally understand there’s gonna be an audience of people that could care less and that’s fine too, but you can’t hate on the remaster for $10. I mean come on bro it’s $10 people are out here paying 50 bucks for red dead redemption that looks just like the Xbox 360 version on PC and have no complaints about that but they’re gonna complain about this stuff for $10 😂
Terrible comparison that doesn't do the remaster justice. The camera is constantly moving, you're only really comparing shots from the starting section of the game, which they put the most detail and work into in the original and you're choosing shots where the changes are barely visible, especially when it comes to the reflections section of your video. And when talking about volumetric lighting, you're literally just showing some random combat. Whoever did this comparison doesn't know what they're talking about, if you wanna see an ACTUALLY GOOD comparison, you should check out Digital Foundry's or ElAnalistaDeBits's video.
Welp, Sony had to ruin it once again with their support for only 73 countires. I have the base game but the digital upgrade is region lock, just like hell divers 2, ghost of tsushima and god of war ragnarok
This game actually have a problem bigger than whether it need a upgrade or not. This game problem is it told a captivating story and in order to experience the full story telling you need to get a ps5 in order to get the whole story. So if you really want horizon zero dawn you will eventually have no choice but to play all of it on either a pc or a current gen console. Because the third game wont be available on ps4 and also a dlc story is also not available on the ps4 as well too. That is a important consideration for people who care about its story.
Tbh you can find ps5 these days for the price of a original ps4back in the day (350 if not lower)so ...honestly if you can't afford a ps5 now idk what to say
I am saying this game is only complete if you play it on pc or ps5 so you might as well just embrace the remastered version of hzd1regardless you like it or not. Get it? Learn to read before going so personal and negative on people. It reflect on your own upbringing not others in case you are not aware of it.
@@anglo-saxonconnor817 What the fook is this hot take of yours all of a sudden lol? The only one "going so personal and negative on people" is you after that cringe response. You seriously can't expect Final Fantasy VII Rebirth let alone the third part of the game to run even at bare minimum on base PS4. Even base PS5 struggles to balance resolution and framerate for FF7R2. PS4 will burn!
I already finished Zero Dasn 5 times, and would do again with the remaster. But I will never, ever pkay Forbidden West again. That wet fan-fiction borderline story is just horrendus and damaged even the first game a bit for me. I won't pay for a third game.
Imagine how much more attention HZD would have gotten if they employed the same jiggly physics from StellarBlade. We'd have StellarBlade fans tripping over themselves.
The best thing about the remaster is that little Aloy doesn't look like a weird creepy soulless doll.
They only put eyeliner on her, so she doesn't look like just waking up from bed.
She was alright even in the original. Emotion was displayed quite well through the facial animations. This time the lighting on the skin simply looks better making the model look less like plastic or cartoon. The change I actually wanted, was so they would make Aloy's model more like the actual real live model she was based on. She still has the chubby look and Bruce Willis jawline. Though I knew that wasn't gonna happen.
@@ChrisAlbertH47 I disagree. Mocap was not so good in base game. But the frozen wilds expansion had better mocap. In sidequests, the camera would switch from character to character in RPG game fashion. Now it all looks more cinematic and the mocap in even the sidequest looks far better.

I agree, it's a pretty significant upgrade almost feel like a slight remake rather than a remaster.

It's the same game, mechanical unchanged
@kewa_design That's a pity, because the slope/incline traversal physics were poor in the original version of this game.
She still loves exactly the same. This is just a spit shine
The lighting in the remaster looks worse, it loses a lot of the charm of the original game.
No it doesn’t stfu looking for attention.
Especially 3:03 the light on the horse downgraded and water reflections. Not upgrading to this.
The only good remaster I have seen so far was the Gears of War 1, it was really different and better in any way possible compared to the original.
$10 upgrade?
Witcher 3 was completely free to upgrade and even had a new quest with armor from the show. Along with integrating mods from the community.

A complete visual overhaul and some new mocap sounds a lot more expensive than the $15 (CAD) asking price so this was an easy decision to buy it. Pluz ZD is the better, more focused game. FW was so bloated
That said, there's a LOT of physics bugs especially during cutscenes
How about swapping out some of the NPC dialogue? Some of it was horrible. "RED-HAIR DIES NOW!"
Back in 2017 I really liked this game.
However I refuse to buy remasters. The only remaster I would buy is GTA 4.
Here we can examine the generational leap from the same game on PS4 remastered to a PS5.. and specifically why so many people didn't upgrade from PS4, not because of covid or being broke but because everyone isn't mindlessly following the person in front of them
I know alot of people are mad because this game didnt need an upgrade but you gotta admit it looks pretty dang good. Hard to believe its just a remaster and not a complete remake
The og looks better here. For a remaster it shouldn't even be up for debate. This is like a $10 patch
After playing Forbidden West I can really see the areas this game is lacking; terrible inventory management, having to spend a bunch of skill points only to be able to unequip coils, no transmog, no glider , these are all things that made gameplay a lot more enjoyable in the sequel
Did they not update any of the inventory management or anything like that?
All I have to say.. youtube Video's don't do the game justice!! The game is super pretty
I hate how the put a rim light on characters in every cutscene. It makes like zero sense.
It would be nice if you could "upgrade" the game on pc to the remastered version if you have the original. I know you can do so on Playstation but sadly I have the game on pc and I bought it like month before the remastered was released.
Played the original on Ps4 using an entry level 4k hdr Sony Bravia and I think it was okay but saturation was so bad. I wanna try this remastered with my LG C2 and see if there's a huge difference tho I think I might need to play it side by side with my old Sony
I didn't own the original, I played it though ps plus... I don't remember if frozen wilds was included in the psplus version or if I bought it after loving the game.
I would play the remaster version but $50 is a little out of my price range for the updated experience. Maybe $30
This game did not need a remaster lmao
When I first heard about the remaster, I thought 'meh'.
But then i pre-ordered it anyway because I figured $10 is reasonable.
The game looks VERY nice. Now I gotta platinum it again. 😂
This is why gaming is in the predicament it's in
Did the game need a remaster?.... No
But does it look better?......
Yes, definitely
I have played both games and Horizon Forbidden West is a mile better graphics, sharp, and deep saturation of colours. If you want a big upgrade in graphics go for Horizon Forbidden West.
I have a GTX-1650 with i7-10750H & 24GB RAM. Any suggestions which one will have better graphics - the original version or the remastered version.
I know remastered has better graphics at max settings, but with this hardware I doubt it will run at max settings.
So, it's a comparison b/w Original at Max/High graphic settings v/s Remastered at (maybe) Medium/Low graphics settings.
5:50 looks like a downgrade to me. Not everything is an upgrade. Saw some other instances where the new one looks worse and bland. I already playes the original but not the DLC, so I might give it a go
While lens flares might look cool, they make no sense! I’d prefer them gone.
I spent $7 dollars on a physical copy of the PS4 version so this was only a $17 game for me
Standard or Complete edition?
@victorvargas9330 Complete Edtion
I loved the original. I loved HFW. I won't love the remaster as I refuse to sign up for a PS account!!! I don't even own a console.
Tempted but too lazy to play a game I’ve already finished, even with graphical improvements.
My games backlog is just too overwhelming on PC, Switch, and PS5
Yep this is better than the sequel.
Story wise I do agree ZD is better but quite literally every other aspect of FW was a massive improvement!
This already looks great, why not do this to games that need a makeover? Or better yet, make news games instead of rehashing old ones.
Sony is creatively bankrupt. Concord is testament. It is in their best interest to remaster/remake ALL of their successful IPs. MedEvil, Shadow of the Colossus, Spyro Trilogy, Crash Trilogy, etc. are testament. They're sitting on pots of gold with Bloodborne.
The environments definitely look better, but some of the faces they look more natural in the original. Yes the remastered has higher resolution when it comes to the faces, but it looks more fake. The original faces look more natural with lower resolution. Like here 0:51 it’s no question the right one has higher resolution. But the left one looks more natural and realistic. I’m not saying it is realistic. I’m saying it looks more realistic. 0:51 again here even the cloth shirt she’s wearing looks more detailed and natural in the original. 1:55 here again Rosts face looks more natural and real than remaster. The colors in the remaster here just looks more fake like plastic.
They don't at all. I've played about 4 hours of the remaster on my s90c and the character models look way better than the original. The shitty youtub compression doesn't do it justice at all
Does anyone else think that Rost's character model looks worse in the remaster? just his though
i have a simple question , if i dont have that sony plus connection or whatever its called ,so i skip it?i cant play remake so or so?
guerrilla is part of playstation studios i say 80% of needing a account
@@Mixedbeats18 so no reason for me to buy it
@@naapsuvaimne740 your wallet mate
@@Mixedbeats18 sony connection is not supported where i live, money isnt issue for me
@@naapsuvaimne740 oh well cant import? original can be played just with a ps4 and a control, maybe you can find a guy selling it.
Graphics look better but the dialogues and mouth movement is bad. Hair clipping through npc during cut scenes. And i feel the movement is little sluggish in ps5
Everybody hates on this remaster for $10 but let’s be real the character models and the detail before looked like some porcelain dolls. They definitely look a lot more realistic now and for somebody who’s never beat it or played it before totally worth it over the original. But I totally understand there’s gonna be an audience of people that could care less and that’s fine too, but you can’t hate on the remaster for $10. I mean come on bro it’s $10 people are out here paying 50 bucks for red dead redemption that looks just like the Xbox 360 version on PC and have no complaints about that but they’re gonna complain about this stuff for $10 😂
No matter how good the upgrade, nothing will ever make us forget the horror of child aloy
The color is a mor vivid look, not foggy.
Terrible comparison that doesn't do the remaster justice. The camera is constantly moving, you're only really comparing shots from the starting section of the game, which they put the most detail and work into in the original and you're choosing shots where the changes are barely visible, especially when it comes to the reflections section of your video. And when talking about volumetric lighting, you're literally just showing some random combat. Whoever did this comparison doesn't know what they're talking about, if you wanna see an ACTUALLY GOOD comparison, you should check out Digital Foundry's or ElAnalistaDeBits's video.
Yeah a terrible comparison video.
Digital Foundry has a way better video on the same topic. They know what they’re talking about.
I thought final fantasy 7 rebirth was the pinnacle of detailed clouds
The shadow casting is fked up in the new one
Need to see how it looks and runs on PS5 Pro.
Finally finally there is an option to turn off the lense flare
They could have rework that god awful melee combat..
Or make some changes.. But no
Welp, Sony had to ruin it once again with their support for only 73 countires. I have the base game but the digital upgrade is region lock, just like hell divers 2, ghost of tsushima and god of war ragnarok
The only thing that needs remastering is Aloy's wooden, emotionless personality.
I got the complete edition for free during covid..so 10$ is ok for this
i hope her face updated also, like less wide
will play again
Looks pretty good for a $10 upgrade.
Meh, whatever makes the stock ticker go up.
is "the frozen wilds" DLC included this time around as a full package orrr?....eh?
Yes it’s included. Even for people who bought the standard version if they want to upgrade.
i'll take the original thank you
This game actually have a problem bigger than whether it need a upgrade or not.
This game problem is it told a captivating story and in order to experience the full story telling you need to get a ps5 in order to get the whole story.
So if you really want horizon zero dawn you will eventually have no choice but to play all of it on either a pc or a current gen console. Because the third game wont be available on ps4 and also a dlc story is also not available on the ps4 as well too.
That is a important consideration for people who care about its story.
I dont know, I found the first game story much better than the second one. So I am not sure I will like the third game (probably will still play).
Tbh you can find ps5 these days for the price of a original ps4back in the day (350 if not lower)so
...honestly if you can't afford a ps5 now idk what to say
I am saying this game is only complete if you play it on pc or ps5 so you might as well just embrace the remastered version of hzd1regardless you like it or not. Get it? Learn to read before going so personal and negative on people. It reflect on your own upbringing not others in case you are not aware of it.
@@anglo-saxonconnor817 What the fook is this hot take of yours all of a sudden lol? The only one "going so personal and negative on people" is you after that cringe response. You seriously can't expect Final Fantasy VII Rebirth let alone the third part of the game to run even at bare minimum on base PS4. Even base PS5 struggles to balance resolution and framerate for FF7R2. PS4 will burn!
I already finished Zero Dasn 5 times, and would do again with the remaster. But I will never, ever pkay Forbidden West again.
That wet fan-fiction borderline story is just horrendus and damaged even the first game a bit for me. I won't pay for a third game.
Why didn't they remaster killzone 2? I don't get it
Why are you guys testing the remaster on a pc?…
I don't see much improvement. There are even scenes where the OG looks a lot better than the remaster.
It doesn’t look real enough. I’ll wait for the “last of us 2 and horizon zero dawn” remastered remastered remastered bundled version. lol
Pc version is pretty demanding, DLSS scaling 60 @4K with ryzen x5950 and 3080ti only getting 60-70 fps
Have you tried frame gen? There's a mod that'll let you get FG on 3k series cards.
I have the complete edition on ps4 I have only 3 hours of the game.
Idk if should spend $10
You mean you would have to start over ?
Do it know if your going to do it . 3 hours is not that bad .
Imagine how much more attention HZD would have gotten if they employed the same jiggly physics from StellarBlade. We'd have StellarBlade fans tripping over themselves.
