Simply, this feels like a game that was always destined to be on the big screen its substantial visual ambition now fully realised on a format befitting its timeless majesty.īeyond such spectacle affirming enhancements, Gravity Rush Remastered also boasts the trio of DLC packs which released for the game, a gallery with an exhaustive six-hundred pieces of art to look through and, perhaps most significantly, the ability to leverage tailor motion controls to function alongside traditional inputs (neatly emulating the gyroscope-powered control scheme of the PS Vita original) to allow folks to play it in whichever manner they find most easiest. Concerns over the geometric simplicity of the game world as they were seen in the original are soon laid to rest, as Gravity Rush Remastered’s eye-popping technical and artistic ensemble make you forget that the game was even a four-year old Vita title to begin with. Now in a form befitting the more formidable hardware, Gravity Rush Remastered absolutely thunders along at 1080p resolution and a buttery smooth sixty-frames per second with a veritable avalanche of higher quality textures thrown into the bargain. When we start looking at things on a technical level, it’s also obvious that the jaunt to PS4 has brought with it some tremendous improvements that complement and enhance the already formidable art style quite perfectly. From the Art Nouveau influenced cityscapes, where colour and western European styles meet in a stunning marriage of visual opulence to the tightly regimented, yet wonderfully realised militarism seen in the city of Hekseville’s more conservative quarters, it’s arguable that the art style of Gravity Rush defies the sort of risible pixel-counting that often diminishes other games who find themselves so desperately bereft of the calibre of flair seen here. Without straight away considering the technical merits of Bluepoint’s work, it becomes clear that the art style that so well defined the game in its original release has actually aged really, really well. Unless your eyes have been unceremoniously scooped out without you noticing, the first thing that is immediately apparent is just how retina-strokingly good Gravity Rush Remastered looks. Perhaps most striking though is the stark realisation that Gravity Rush is transcendent appearing today every bit the seminal, innovative action adventure as it was those years ago on much less powerful hardware with the ‘Remastered’ tag acting as a cast-iron guarantee that this is best way to experience the game because, well, it quite arguably is. Fast forward nearly four years on and remaster virtuosos Bluepoint have now ported the game from its humble handheld domain to the much more capable PS4 hardware.
