Horizon Zero Dawn | Cinematic Trailer

Wow, that's pretty damn impressive. I am sold.

This story trailer kind of confirms the leak, right? Or am I just imagining things?

Pretty good voice acting as well. Writing may not be Shakespeare but got me interested.

I just want some fighting against some organic enemies in this case humans and to have some good feedback while shoting them, like some blood flying or something.

If thats so awfull to you well I dont know what to say.

That's what i was talking about!! Looking Great man!!
 
You know, the game still looks good, but the more I see, the more I am weary.

  • Guerrilla has never depicted an engaging story in their killzone games, and every bit of new information given here doesn't inspire confidence.
  • Spider tanks. I am totally down with dinosaur robots. I am not down with spider tanks. They're boring.
  • I know that this is a fundamentally different kind of game, but I was never in love with their encounter designs in the killzone series.
  • Also from the killzone series, they love their mandatory vehicle sections

This is going to be a game I get almost no matter what, just because I find the world intriguing, but I have to approach this one with more caution than optimism. Really hope it surprises me by refuting every concern I have.
 
Visually the game looks unbelievable, and the gameplay looks really nice form everything I've seen as well.

Still not sold on the writing / dialogue but still super hyped for this. Game should be great
 
People should go back and watch some Witcher 3 trailers before judging the game's writing.

This trailer is exactly what the game needed.

Looks great visually, but unsurprisingly the story looks very bad.

I have come to the conclusion some people on gaf say shit to say it, "the story looks very bad" dude or dudette just stop no one knows the story to begin with and 2 again just stop with the dumb shit.

what is the story?
Click to expand...

Blatant dictator dude is using evil dark shadowy things to corrupt the natural robots into being violent and evil as part of some kind of plan to expand control over the territory, in which Alloy will have to stop him as she travels and meets different tribes.

I mean, the general gist of it is pretty obvious. We could be surprised, but it wouldn't be the first time a game gave away it's entire basic plot.
 
Damn they changed the way Aloy looked didn't they? I dunno, her jaw looks smaller or something? She looks so much better though.
younger too
 
Presumptive game of the year, imo.

Looks like absolutely everything I want out of a modern blockbuster. Incredible.
 
The hate for this game is starting to reach Uncharted 4 levels of bad.

This trailer painted the story of the game on a much more positive and straight-forward way. It needed this.

And god that city looks amazing. If this is the base art direction for most cities in this game, then jesus take the fucking wheel.

Some of the worlds best literary works are from a basic premise...there is more to story telling.

I mean, there is probably a zero percent chance the game's writing is anywhere near Witcher 3 if that's what you are trying to imply here. Guerrilla when it comes to writing and storytelling is no CDProjekt Red.

Game still looks great regardless

And if that's what they want you to think and you are wrong will you then say well we saw that twist coming a mile away?

Almost none of the things you described (except perhaps the spider tank) could have developed from having seen more of it, though, since they are statements about GG's pedigree rather than about Horizon.

Still, it is always good to approach something from someone you didn't like before with caution. Guerrilla has had some changes in staff for the project, but it is obviously not a guarantee that the game will have good quests and a good story. That's what reviews generally are for: to get a close-to-final verdict on the quality of such things as story, gameplay functionality, and quest design, since you can't show off the depth of the story or the variety of quests off very well (though in some way you can do a better job than GG has done until now) in preview footage without spoiling those aspects for the player. TL;DR always wait for trusted impressions and reviews if you are uncertain about a game.

I mean, most of the criticism has been rooted in the developer being Guerrilla Games, so I wouldn't much stock in it. The game will be judged on its own merits once it's out.
 
People who still insist on saying it's not rpg it is just like Witcher 3, just some RPG elements in Horizon won't be as deep as the devs explained they didn't want the casual audience to be overwhelmed with that stuff so some element is more streamlined etc more accessible for bigger audience

And you think this is going to be some of the worlds best literature?

raw


I mean, not even to be a dick. This is probably just going to be what it looks like.

I'm open to it surprising me.

But the reason it'd be a surprise is because chances are it will just be typical videogame tripe.

You played horizon? It has dialog, choice, side quests, many different weapons, with different levels.....non of these things far cry has. You have no idea who in depth these things are in Horizon, they have new vegas devs and RPG industry vets working on it. It has different settlements with different tribes, quests.....

I GUARANTEE you this game will be closer to Far Cry on the RPG scale than Witcher 3 (not to say it's literally at the same level as Far Cry). But I'm coming to grips with being okay with that. I'm tempering my expectations. I've followed this game very closely and have read/watched pretty much everything there is on it.

How the heck did you jump all the way to this conclusion LMAO. The point is you cannot judge a plot based on assumption at a very high level. How it unfolds, is told, and the twists and turns along the way, the execution are what matters.

Saying the Plot is generic is Nothing criticism. The god fathers plot is simple and been there done that, but it's still an all-time great

No, I'm saying that trailers aren't always representative of the strength of a game's writing. If we went by Witcher 3 trailers, we'd conclude that the writing is shit-tier (it wasn't).

To me it looks more like exaggerated concern than hate, with a hefty dose of nitpicking...

This being said, for as many times as some might have felt burned by great trailers and ended up disappointed, maybe that would explain it.

I am very, very optimistic personally.
I see it already as a definite goty 2017 contender next to Persona 5, RDR2 and Zelda (I hope Nier, RE7 and Andromeda would also qualify. GR2 as well, but probably too quirky for that, though I love it :) )
 
VanWinkle said:
Just to be sure, are you well-acquainted with the extent and depth of Far Cry's RPG mechanics/systems?
Click to expand...

Yes they are almost non existent other then crafting and a few skill upgrades, Just from gameinformer and whats been released we know Horizon has much more then that. It's an RPG, Far cry is not.

Depth and far cry lol, funny.
 
Kinda OT, but have a question -- hopefully someone here can help:

Why is it that I have to wait until the end of Feb to play this?

Any help would be appreciated - thanks!
