Horizon Remaster Added to Membership, Yet 30% of Players Say They're Not Excited?

Seeing another blockbuster added to the membership library, I only feel a wave of burnout. It's like being accustomed to exquisite indie appetizers, only to suddenly be served an assembly-line banquet. The signature dish Sony served up this time seems to have failed to whet much appetite. While remastering old games is fine, it lacks some heart-pounding excitement.

Today, titles like Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered were added to the library. Foreign media launched a poll, with over 700 players participating in the discussion. Interestingly, a full 29% of players believed nothing was worth looking forward to. This data is like a bucket of cold water poured on Sony's first-party titles. Speaking of which, even Wild Arms 4 would struggle to save the situation.

As an indie game enthusiast, I understand this feeling of numb taste buds. Big studio works are like beautifully packaged canned food; delicious but lacking soul. Compared to this, I miss those clumsy creative ideas in the pixel world more. Just like when Celeste met Undertale, that kind of impact is precious. But unfortunately, the membership library seems to be drifting further away from this kind of surprise.

The voice of the player community is clear; they crave an injection of fresh blood. Relying solely on remasters of old works makes it hard to reignite everyone's enthusiasm. Perhaps Sony should consider how to balance blockbusters with indie gems. After all, the core of the subscription model is always to provide unexpected joy. After all, what players want has never been a list piled high with rehashed content. This satisfaction survey is worth deep reflection for all platform operators.
