Gravity Rush Remastered Reviews
And thank God (or perhaps that should be "thank Kat", without getting too spoilery) that despite being a bomb on the PlayStation Vita, Sony saw enough strength in the material to give it another go. People, please, buy it. We need more of this kind of game, but publishers like Sony need revenue from them to make that happen.
However, what the developers are doing with a remaster is not simply to squeeze more money out of the consumer; Gravity Rush: Remastered is giving people the opportunity to experience what is genuinely an interesting and entertaining game, one that they might have missed because of the platform on which it was released. Now, with a shiny new entry on the PlayStation 4, Gravity Rush can reach a wider audience, and if Gravity Rush 2 improves at all upon the first, that's ultimately more of a benefit to the gamer, rather than the developer.
Those looking for something new and exciting definitely need to give this a shot now that it has a second chance.
While most of this generation's avalanche of double-dips have felt cynical and unwarranted, Gravity Rush truly benefits from a change of system and a chance to reach a comparatively huge audience. It is, simply put, a better game than it used to be, and I can't complain about that.
Visually improved but unlikely to set the world alight
Despite the issues I have with the story and combat, there's still something special about Gravity Rush. And it's a damn shame that more people haven't gotten the chance to experience this game before now, simply because it was a handheld exclusive.
An excellent remaster of an imperfect but hugely endearing action adventure, that completely justifies the ongoing plans for a sequel.
Taking to the skies is a fun but slightly rocky experience, but was fun through it's 10+ hour flight.
Few games have made exploring an open world this much fun, and the last time I enjoyed searching areas for collectibles this much was in Infamous: Second Son.
Gravity Rush Remastered is about what you'd expect. The slicker visuals and boosted frame rate lead to an even cleaner and more satisfying experience, though its portable roots are glaringly obvious the more you play. If you've got a PS4 but not a Vita, you definitely owe it to yourself to give it a shot.
Some people complain that the last thing we need these days are HD ports of "games gone by," as it were. However, Gravity Rush Remastered provides a hell of an argument that they're still worthwhile, especially if they're done the right way. This is an ideal way to become introduced in the series, and it'll get you excited for the sequel to come. No need to, ahem, flip out.
This unimpeachable PS4 reissue exposes some rough, rudimentary design in Sony Japan's cult adventure, but its charm and originality endure.
Gravity Rush Remastered is a damn fine example of thinking outside of the box when it comes to traditional 3D platformers, and I'm super glad that both Sony and Bluepoint gave PS4 owners the ability to experience the game, if they were previously unable to.
But that idea has so much potential, and when it's implemented eloquently I'm uplifted by it. When it gives you tasks that complement your powers, Gravity Rush transcends its mediocrity through the sheer power of flight. But then it tumbles back down into complacency, leaving me to wistfully pine for the skies again.
It shouldn't be cutting corners, and it's silly that the four major zones are all still so faded, dull, and repetitious.
Man kann prinzipiell von Remakes und Remastered Versionen halten was man will, aber im Fall von Gravity Rush: Remastered lohnt sich ein Kauf auf jeden Fall. Wenn ihr den Titel bisher auf der Playstation Vita ausgelassen habt, solltet ihr den Titel auf jeden Fall nachholen.

Get ready for fast paced, gravity defying action! And a cat.
Fun, innovative, and unique, Gravity Rush is well worth your time, bringing an original action-adventure from the small screen to a bigger one.
Gravity Rush Remastered is a fantastic port of an already fantastic game. The updated presentation is beautiful and nothing was lost in translation when putting a handheld game on the consoles. With tons to do and additional content, Gravity Rush Remastered is a fantastic addition to any gamer's PS4 library.
With improved visuals, smoother performance, and all the previous DLC bundled in; it's safe to say that Gravity Rush Remastered is the definitive version to play for anyone who has yet to try it out.
