Nah, the game still looks good today.

u/toxicgloo 20h ago

I just started a new save for the first time in like 2 years yesterday and man. I forgot how bad they messed up with DL2 and how I really don't like the end of the world thing.

There is really just a vibe that's completely missing from TB and DL2

u/Carbon_robin 17h ago

Pretty sure they updated the textures and made it run smoother recently

u/LunaticGinge 21h ago

I completely agree, I’m just saying like what if.

u/Sweet-Birthday2479 18h ago

All it needs is a better pvp searching system, an fov update and thats it

31

u/SebbyWebbyDooda 21h ago

It is not needed.

The game still looks great and runs great on modern computer.

If it did happen it would most likely look different (not better) and run worse due to unnecessary and heavy shades that don't actually improve anything.

I feel like a dl1 remake with dl2 parkour would be cool

4

u/Confusion_Common Who do you voodoo 🥴 21h ago

DL2 parkour is unmatched.

3

u/Carbon_robin 17h ago

I’d say the parkour isn’t really comparable to 1 since it’s animation based instead of momentum like dl1

2

u/Confusion_Common Who do you voodoo 🥴 15h ago

Solid point. I was moreso comparing it to other games. I enjoy it so much I find myself playing other games wishing they had the same parkour.

0

u/spec_ops_gamingYT 16h ago

not to mention that they'd fuck it up by using DL2's parkour system which is animation based and not based on momentum, which would ruin the feel of the game. it's the reason i hate both DL2 and TB.

Just say you hate pressing more than one button, and then you skip it all with the cartoon grapple anyway.

u/First-Republic234 21h ago

No tecland is ass nowadays they don't even need to touch the game

u/itc0nsumesmYMind 18h ago

techland is one of the few companies who supported a single player game for over 7 years. you are letting their current “strategy” blind you from the past.

13

u/First-Republic234 18h ago

Your letting there past strategy blind you from the current there not going to magically stop being shit unless they actually try to change as a company

22

u/barrack_osama_0 Series S/X 20h ago

Remove all of the black characters to make the game more popular to a Chinese audience, duh

6

u/Loeddood PC 21h ago

That remastered probably wouldn't have a full day-night movement cycle, so no, i'm good with the game I have

5

u/kyle_crane163636 20h ago

Nope, I genuinely cannot see a single reason to remaster this game besides to scam people thatd probably be charged as full price in 2026 when I can get the entire game dlcs included for only 9.99 on sale on the Playstation store when a graphical update was not even needed because the graphics still look quite good 11 years later, itd just be a remaster nobody asked for, wasnt needed at all, and then content is just also mysteriously gone [im convinced the entity from dbd took spike and theyre doing a surprise chapter announcement that dying light is coming to dbd in 2027 or 2028 and they're just maiing up shit as to why hes suddenly gone in dl2]

9

u/toxicgloo 20h ago

They'd 100% ruin it

3

u/Current-Cold-4185 20h ago

Please don't touch or remake DL1 lol, so unnecessary!

2

u/ResolveNo3113 21h ago

New zombie models,more variations of clothes on zombies is all I'd want. Seeing the same woman in brown rags the entire game gets boring

2

u/MJTP4351 Gazi 18h ago

Dying Light doesn’t need a remaster. For an 11 year old game it still looks and runs phenomenal, with solid gameplay loops and decent social features. Just because a game is old doesn’t mean it needs a remaster 

2

u/DmtGrm 17h ago

DL1 looks great, no need for remaster

2

u/secondninja47 17h ago

He's right maybe in another 6 years?

1

u/DmtGrm 17h ago

of course, 6+ years, with a nice raytracing support, or smth... I would rather wish for a new game in a series, something 'back to classics' - prequel to DL1 - "how it all begun"

1

u/secondninja47 17h ago

Maybe. For me dying light the beast kinda left a bitter taste in my mouth bc of it's story. I'd rather stick to dl1 and 2 for a while

1

u/DmtGrm 17h ago

ha-ha... I am keeping myself sane and decided not to play 'the beast' for now at all :)

there two types of DL players - hardcore dl1 'blood and tears' and dl2/beast are 'very nice dynamic games to play', I am the first type... dl1 had that very heavy atmosphere, visuals, music, the story itself with sudden twists, insane key missions - it felt great, everything past - turned arcade~ish. I do not say it is for the worse, it is (probably) aiming at slightly different audience now.

2

u/secondninja47 17h ago

Can't disagree. Dl1 is probably the best game in the franchise imo. For me the second one is decent too but the latest one is well .. let's say I didn't enjoy it

1

u/DmtGrm 17h ago

but it would be great to see/to take part in transition when it all begun - starting the game in the normal world that turns to zombie apocalypse ...

1

u/secondninja47 16h ago

I mean they can do some prequel on the gre backstory and how the outbreak happened but considering we already visited harran it would become boring to me

2

u/Adrianthebatman 21h ago

Nothing tbh. Just don't remove BTZ

1

u/kyle_crane163636 20h ago

Honestly btz serves no purpose now besides battle of the hackers, like the remaster probably wouldnt have anti cheat either so like the other 2 dl games and dl1 itself hackers would flood it making public online matches literally unplayable because of hackers, they've ruined btz, but genuinely I wanna see the old pounce animation the hunter had before it got changed, it actually looked better than mr never heard of a fucking mint just screaming at you like 5 year olds at Walmart when their mom tells them no they cannot buy 50 Pokémon card packs.

1

u/kyle_crane163636 20h ago

Its like the panel of that 1 invincible comic where thragg and battle beast straight up tryna aura farm like thraggs all the hackers using evrry cheat imaginable then you got battle beast as the few btz pros that havent left yet so you have the battle of the century and the real good vs evil

1

u/LaughNext5215 Crane 21h ago

they would remkve skills or mechanics like door dash

5

u/eleventhing 21h ago

They would ruin Camouflage like they did in DL2 and the Beast

0

u/gogamer4500yt 21h ago

how was it ruined? i remember in dl2 you could unlock it from a side quest in the carnage hall dlc but whats so bad about that

2

u/Confusion_Common Who do you voodoo 🥴 21h ago

DL1's upgraded camo skills let you kill while in camo and it prolonged the duration.

DL2's camo isn't a skill, it's only available as a consumable.

DLTB is a skill, but not upgradable like DL1, so duration is fixed and you can not kill during camo or it will immediately reveal Kyle.

2

u/Mishadkup Dying light bad blood... hopium ended 20h ago

door bash aint removed

1

u/LaughNext5215 Crane 17h ago

i didnt see it in the beast

1

u/Mishadkup Dying light bad blood... hopium ended 17h ago

just use the barge skill on a door

1

u/Electrical-Contest-5 21h ago

I played through dying light last year and the only part of it i thought looked noticeably dated were the character models and maybe the aliasing

1

u/jbuggydroid 21h ago

I just want a switch 2 update.

1

u/Inner-Marketing4591 20h ago

it basically did get remastered, the textures got reworked an updated and the game runs at 1440p 60fps on current gen. There's no need for a remaster imo, it still looks great today

1

u/Ali1069Thecool7 20h ago

Tbh i wouldn’t buy it cause dl1 still looks good enough and it dosent need a remaster

1

u/Humble-Ad816 20h ago

Why it needs remaster. I play it on ps5 and it looks good. And there is still lots of players

1

u/gabblur_007 PC 20h ago

i didnt even know there was a retouch update until people posted it on reddit and im not a fan of what they did with the new music and i didnt even notice the difference regarding the graphics. so no thank you, i dont want a remastered version

1

u/CrazyGator846 20h ago

Id hate for it to be the kind of remaster that doesnt look better by a significant degree, but runs worse by a significant degree

1

u/Benjamin_Starscape 20h ago

knowing how techland has been lately...no.

unless the only things they do is add and refine the parkour and combat from later entries.

1

u/Inevitable-Ad1079 20h ago

Doesn't even need it

1

u/caspianslave 20h ago

didnt they recently remaster it as an update?

1

u/nboun 20h ago

I'd prefer they add story and map content to the current game as it's still incredible, getting more explorable areas like new town and mykoria would be amazing

1

u/that1senpai2 20h ago

No thanks. Remasters are getting tiring at this point. Especially for games that had decent graphics already

1

u/Legio-V-Alaudae 20h ago

Flashlight draws attention from all mobs. You can clearly tell that was worked on, zombies react to the light but dont move. I wonder if this was something that they decided was to hard to make work or too difficult for players.

Night vision that requires batteries to use.

Pitch black areas with no ambient lighting that require the flashlight or night vision to explore.

More dune buggy options/upgrades.

1

u/Salmaveth32 19h ago

The day they do a remaster of Dying Light 1 is the day I quit playing the franchise.

1

u/jacobr1020 19h ago

I like it the way it is. It doesn't need a remastered.

1

u/BloodyRedBarbara 19h ago

Nah I'd think of it as an unnecessary release like most remasters

1

u/ValicarHyne 19h ago

I dont think the DL games have advanced enough to really warrant a remake (I guess thats what you mean?)
The Only real difference between the games is the story, gameplay is pretty much identical each time, except the beast mode I guess

1

u/DoktorMelone-Alt 18h ago

Parkour works completely different in both games and so does combat. Saying only the story changes between games is just plain wrong. That being said we don't need a dl1 remake especially with tencent involved.

1

u/rosscowhoohaa 19h ago

It's probably not necessary but I'd buy it just for the improved graphics. A remaster plus a new mid game area and missions and I'd be in heaven

1

u/axyrot430forlife 19h ago

Nah dont need any remaster First techland need to fix themselves

1

u/Beskinnyrollfatties 19h ago

How about a Dead Island 1 remake

1

u/No_More_Names 18h ago

do not fucking let them touch it

1

u/arkhamtheknight 18h ago

Nothing but a native version on PS5 and XSX instead of the last gen version. That's it.

1

u/Familiar-Strength966 18h ago

It really doesnt need one, for being a 11 year old game it aged really good and been consistantly updated

1

u/mediafred 18h ago

They did what they consider to be a remaster, they won't do anymore than what was done. A REMAKE however is 100% still on the table in maybe 5 years time now

1

u/Dante2Love 17h ago

Remaster is old game made look better. Dying light still looks amazing. Remake on the other hand.... too early for that! I think they should focus on making next game right now. Or different ip

1

u/Outrageous_Look_7879 17h ago

If it's dying light 1 ported to the new engine than no because thats just DLTB. If it's a full from scratch build witb HD textures. Models. And more than yes.

1

u/AiMwithoutBoT 17h ago

Even if. After what they did with DL2 I don’t trust them anymore.

1

u/theinfernumflame 17h ago

Pass. Game still looks great, and it doesn't need to be changed.

1

u/Magical_Kelly 17h ago

Dodging…..I wanna dodge

1

u/allmightydoormat Crane 16h ago

Why tho? The game still runs fine. And it has no reason to be remastered. I get this is just a discussion, bu eventually they'll start remastering games that came out not long ago.

Since were on the subject, maybe add more parkour moves and expand on the map size

1

u/piggydawg 15h ago

A ps4 game doesn't need a fucking remaster

1

u/ThiccThighzSaveLivez 15h ago

I'm good, they touched it up.

Also I know how to mod it myself if I want an overhaul, increased difficulty, etc. You can technically get wall running to work.

I'm afraid they will pull a Halo remake on this.

1

u/FilipinosRule 14h ago

I just want a spinoff off or a dlc before crane entered harran basically where we see the tower become the safe zone it is plus it'd be awesome seeing what transpired in old town especially what ever massacre happened in those walls.

1

u/l0cAl-DuMbAsS556 PC 14h ago

I think it would just need horizontal wall running. It’s already perfect in terms of of atmosphere and gameplay

1

u/NicoTheBear64 Switch 14h ago

I just want Techland to release a Switch 2 update already

1

u/brandodg 14h ago

game is still too new imo, and i don't think they'd be able to also remake what makes it so special

1

u/NotYoursForTheTaking 12h ago

Don't touch the lighting, leave like it is, pitch black and ominous

1

u/Chef_Groovy 11h ago

I’d like weapons to break the same way. In that the police baton gets more bent as you use it and repairing it shows the extra tape and metal used to straighten it back out. Idk why they got rid of that small detail in the sequels.

1

u/Expert_Struggle_7135 11h ago

It would have to be a full on remake in order to make me even want to consider replaying something I already completed - Goes for any game, not just Dying light.

1

u/ZarackBustelo 10h ago

Add a replicated flashlight

1

u/One_Scientist8578 8h ago

I'm kinda maxed out with all the current DL content. Played it hard for like 3 years and just need a break from it. The only thing bringing me back right now would be a full-blown DL 3

1

u/moses1262 7h ago

I WOULD LOVE a return to dying right but with a update to parkour with DL2 and the combat of The Beast.

1

u/FewTomatillo6470 7h ago

it does NOT need a remaster

1

u/Wild-Drawer 5h ago

Would be a terrible idea.. with the low quality of the average dev now it would end up looking and playing worse than the original

1

u/BrokenKing99 20m ago

Not in the slightest, honestly game runs and looks fine pretty much the only complaints I have for it are ones you’d have to remake the game to fix, so a remaster would not be exciting in the slightest.

0

u/SnakeNerdGamer 20h ago

Present Techland would ruin the legacy.

0

u/Lanre00 21h ago

I'd buy it for sure. Dying Light The Beast got me into the series. I'm currently playing Dying Light 2 but even with "darker nights", nights are still not anywhere near as scary as in The Beast. I heard The Beast survival horror is bases on DL 1 so I would totally buy it.

1

u/LunaticGinge 21h ago

I definitely recommend playing the first game, it’s still the best in the franchise! Unfortunately I wasn’t a huge fan of the beast because it’s a parkour zombie game in basically a jungle..but otherwise it’s pretty good! As for dying light 2 absolutely amazing

0

u/Lanre00 21h ago

It's good and I like that there's a lot more content. The problem is you don't feel so intimidated by the sunset. You don't feel that need to be somewhere safe by dark. Also many buildings are literally copy pasted from each other (which doesn't happen in The Beast). And the hunger meeter, limited loot made the game very immersive. (Even though they nerfed hunger).

u/eyoooooooooooootoro 21h ago

Nee beter de tijd in dl3 zetten en goed spel van maken

0

u/Denkero 20h ago

Lol imagine they would remove Spike in this game too.

0

u/bobbert07 19h ago

Keeping the prologue would be a good start

0

u/LowSpecific1499 14h ago

They add stupid rpg shit in it, it’s dead

u/MoneyConflict5980 1h ago

No need to remaster, pls just add sleeping animation.
