I think he's saying that he wants more than what really amounts to little more than collectathons that you use to level up certain aspects of your character, which I agree with.
More Witcher, less crackdown.

I think the focus is gonna be more on action and adventure. Like say Shadows of Mordor which is also called an RPG.

Looking at this and loving it, it got me super curious about SSM's cancelled game. Supposedly an open world sci-fi game. I can't imagine how it would have looked like. Sad we will never get to see it.

Unlikely, a robotic velociraptor however seems very possible.

If the world really is as open as they have stated there has to be a faster way to get around than just walking.

I love RPGs, but some games can just be fun open world games. You don't need character levelling.
Customisation is fine, but SuckerPunch is great at giving you an action/shooter moveset and designing great encounters/AI. You don't need levelling.

Exactly. I want lots of side stories with choices that are meaningful. Some hunt/bounty missions would be cool too. Lots of variety with good writing.
The music in this trailer is what makes everything for me. It sets the stage for this advanced civilization being returned to nothing. Absolutely love it, and i'm SOO happy for that studio finally breaking away from Killzone. Not only that, but it's by Killzone 3 devs rather than Shadowfall.

The side content in Second Son was a joke and copy pasted into every area.
That is what I mean by not wanting it to be like that at all. No unlocking towers nonsense like Far Cry/Ubisoft games either.

Perhaps you will become the 'Toruk Makto' to this bad boy.
Two reasons to entertain the possibility are:
1. In the picture his eyes are blue, generally used to denote a friendly being. And it's the only creature with blue lights I've spotted in Horizon thusfar. (I was wrong about it being the only one)
2. At the end of the trailer we first encounter this creature with eyes a glaring red, but the encounter itself is open-ended, so anything might happen.
It would be very cool, although flying in open worlds can be problematic, since it removes the vertical barrier and makes reaching distant locations very easy. So probably not.
Edit: I also just noticed all these robots are basically shining blue lights as long as they are in passive grazing mode, only when they sense a threat do their lights turn red.
It isn't, I already commented on it a few pages back. It's a post-apocalyptic tribal adventure, or something like that. I guess primitive/tribalistic equals pre-historic to the OP's mind, which is somewhat understandable although still wrong.
Agreed. The open world concept was honestly useless in Infamous SS, as much as I liked that game.
They're ok at it, not great.
And RPGs are about more than levelling. And with the hunting aspect it would be a massive waste to not explore upgrading gear with parts you salvage from fallen machines.

So a post- apocalyptic setting (since we can see the old civilization structures) where the perception is from a person one can identify as pre-historic...

Sorry don't have a link, but on one of the twitch channels a few hours ago the interviewer mentioned he really liked the robotic dinosaurs. GG mentioned they don't resemble dinosaurs, and wouldn't say what they were to not ruin plot but said they resemble other creatures from Human history. WTF? Only thing I could come up with were the robotic creatures with long necks that resembled Giraffes (see the post directly above this one), but some clearly seemed to be prehistoric lizards. Thoughts?
Herman described it as "Post post-apocalyptic." It is set 1000 years after the collapse of civilization to a point where the current people don't have a real history of what happened to them. At least, that's what we are being told right now.
Also, it is being called "pre-historic" in how people are living not in whether history is exactly being recorded or not imo although the trailer starts with showing drawings on the wall as to show how some things went.
Yeah, Herman also called them 'machines' not robo-dinosaurs in the interview with Keighley when Keighley called them dinosaurs.
Edit: Here is the segment @ 1h42m.

In the gamespot interview one of the Guerrilla guys mentioned fighting other humans, which I'm guessing will be from the other tribes. I don't know how well that's gonna work in practice (I can't imagine fighting another hunter in MonHun), but it does sound pretty interesting.
I have to say that this game is at the top of my list for 2016.

This is the best art I see in a game in like, years. My concern is with the gameplay, which is something Guerrilla's games always lack imo. If the gameplay matches the visuals, then wow.

GG have always had solid game play. Narrative and dialog have been weak points.
i think it's ashly burch, chloe in life is strange.
but it may have just been recorded for this gameplay debut, remember.
Poor guy wandered in here thinking this was the Testorizon: Hero Dong thread.

I can't fathom 1000 years past the apocalypse (whenever that might've been in their timeline) let alone hundreds of years in the future from now. Like, think about what was happening 1000 years ago to us, 1015. I mean, sure, we know a little, but... not that much. It's crazy. The game could easily be set 1500 years from now, and if you think of how fast tech is growing, that's an insane amount of time for it to change.
I uh, I just really wanna play this game. Like, ruul bad.

Setting up trip wire explosives, scaring the deer looking robo's into running into them just to be blown apart for salvage? YES PLEASE!
It's been awhile since a game had such s brilliant opening reveal. Amazing

Dinosaurs are in, they should embrace it. Haven't they seen how much money Jurassic World is raking in?
Lol. You can't feel empowered playing as a female character? No offence buddy, but Aloy is probably orders of magnitude more capable than you are at hunting machines, exemplified in the way she manhandled that robo t-rex. Just as I'm sure a countless number of real women would be at different physical activities too.

Number 3 on Amazon Canada's Best selling video game hourly.
Right behind Fallout 4 (PS4) and Uncharted 4. In fact the entire top 10 is just full of PS4 games including The Last Guardian and Ratchet & Clank.
Good to see it doing well.
Best wishes.

I don't know if you guys watched Shu's interview with Greg and Colin today, but Shuhei sounds hyped as hell when he talked about Sucker Punch's new game. Bend's game, QD's game and Gravity Daze 2 are all playable for a while now. I'm so excited for next years
Yeah this feels like a much better version of 2007 for the PS3 where suddenly we had an amazing show and tons of titles to look forward to in 2008 and 2009. Except this time we have a lot to look forward to in 2007'as well.
I'm not that familiar with her work, but it sounds like a different actress to me. Slightly lower pitched. She has a few comments about E3 on twitter but doesn't mention Horizon specifically.
