The ancient ones are their ancestors or just us regular humans prior to the cataclysmic event that wiped out most of the population and sent everyone back to the stone ages.

Holy shit, this game has a lot of potential!
^ Good to read. I haven't really kept up with the Killzone franchise after 2 and/or (Sony) conferences/presentations, so good to hear it's pretty much a thing of the past for Sony/Guerilla. Can hardly wait to duke it out, be it solo or co-op, in Horizon's world. Watching that shot of the group climbing the mountains make me want to hike

Dude that was 10 years ago... they've released 3 games since then... none repeated that "fiasco". They have earned their place in graphics dev pantheon.

straight from technical director's mouth (twitter). So as Square Enix would say, "please be excited"
High-res transparent-background title
I like how they made the logo pseudo-symmetrical.

This game looks great. Will pick it up for sure. Love the character design and the whole post-post-apocalyptic angle.

Props to GG for showing gameplay already for a game that is coming out in the later part in 2016. Which makes me doubt other developers who are less far from launch then GG and still only show a CGI trailer (Armature).

I doubt they're being controlled by anyone. I think they're just a part of nature now. What we'll be discovering is their history, how they relate to the collapse of humanity, and just what exactly they are.

Sounds good. Could always use Monster Hunter inspired games
thank you!
so, so far, Uncharted should be Q1 2016, while the other exclusive games announced are foreseen for a generic 2016. is that right?
(don't read any critic in my words, I'm planning the purchase of my PS4 for next year: I'm trying to figure out if planning it for early 2016 or for late 2016)
Not if they follow this with darker middle chapter called Horizon 2: Infinite Dusk. Followed by highly unsatisfying final chapter in the trilogy called Horizon 3: Dawn Again. And who can forget Vita 2 dancing game spin-off called Horizon: Boogie from Dusk till Dawn.

This game is going to start with Einstein's quote, I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but world War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
I`m ok if they add it on the sequel.

Sure; that was 10 years ago and since then every GG reveal has been using in-game footage. They learned a hard lesson but they've been better for it.

I think there's definitely going to a point in the story where the humans will eventually figure out a way control the dinosaurs completely, ultimately leading to the subjugation of one another through force. I don't think something like that will develop until a sequel, however. (I'm hoping.) I think Guerrilla is smart enough to steer the narrative away from clichés when it comes to developments like that.

pretty much all of Sony studios learn a hard lesson for it. do they even use cg trailer anymore, other than that Bloodborne announcement trailer.

if that happens, Aloy would probably sides with the machines. on one hand, it'd be kind of cliche. but on the other hand, imagine Aloy working together with machines and charging enemies while riding giant mech dinosaurs... I kinda want that to happen.

Nope not one CG trailer from Sony at the conference this year.
I can only see a handful of the LinkedIn pages from GG, but here's the 2 that you want.

Horizon looks stunning. My Game of the Show.

I would guess it goes something like this:
Uncharted 4 - Q1 (March, I'd guess)
Ratchet & Clank - Q2 (probably May, alongside the film)
The Last Guardian - Q2/Q3 (I'd expect they'll launch it during a relatively quiet time of year, like July or August)
Horizon - Q3 (September or October I reckon)
Gran Turismo 7 - Q4 (November or December)
Dreams - I think they'll spend a long time perfecting this and it may well be a 2017 release
God of War IV/Reboot - March 2017 I'm betting
When this came up on the stage I couldn't give a fuck about it because I was still in shock and tears from TLG. But looking at it now, holy shit, this looks pretty damn amazing.
Glad that GG got to do something that looks promising and unique in its own way, I mean I like KZ but this looks 100x more interesting to me.

He wrote the Bloody Baron quest?? Not far enough to know all the missions written on his page.

lol what is this
Are you forgetting the fact that the main character is human? This game, being an open-world RPG, will obviously have some sort of hunting element in it. Not all the wildlife in this game is a robot. Furthermore, she utilizes multiple types of arrows, and her bow certainly doesn't look like a conventionally modified bow. I'm sure there's some lore-based augmentation going on there.
Game takes place on Earth, though, where the Vektan/Helghast conflict didn't reach.

50 - 60lb compound bows can easily put an arrow through a steel door. The frame of her bow looks wood but everything else is modified with some higher tech. Plus, like others have mentioned, she has different tips on her arrows so it's not really that far fetched.

God of War Ascension had a CGI teaser trailer first of all. Not sure about GoWIII, but more recently Shadow of the Beast and Wattam both had CGI reveals. Thinking back though for the most part I think you're right that most new Sony games are revealed with gameplay footage.
He says he's working on an unannounced game though.
Unless he just hasn't updated his profile

Stop It!!!
He's not wrong. first Killzone 2 trailer was total bullshot and looked nothing like the finished game.
Not all robot creatures are 'dinosaurs'. There's robo deers, that 'watcher robo' (that got stabbed in the beginning) and a giant robo eagle in the demo too.

We also saw live salmon in the trailer which leads me to believe there are non robo creatures in the game outside of humans
Hey GAF!
Mark Norris, Senior Producer on Horizon Zero Dawn here. I just wanted to say thanks so much for the kind words from many of you on the thread here so far, and that some of your questions (but definitely not all!) will be answered over the course of the next couple days.
One thing I can confirm for you is that every single shot in the demo video was taken from in-game, and those locations are discoverable over the course of your journey.
I'll let you get back to the regularly scheduled speculation
hey man,
don't forget photomode in day 1.

Killzone has no relevance to this as far as story goes. Guerrilla hired the writer for Fallout: New Vegas to handle this game.
And with a quest designer that worked on Witcher 3, I'm not even worried.
Yeah, there's definitely regular real life animals in the world too. There's also horses in the concept art.
