Man there's a curse with Q1 being so packed. I wanna get horizon, but there's so many other games in the next few months I wanna get too. And unfortunately I want them a little more than horizon, so I'll have to hold off a bit before I jump in. But everything looks great as it has for the past few years. Hopefully I'll be able to get to it soon
Horizon Zero Dawn livestream
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
Greg also said it was Amazing, absolutely stunning and GREAT so you are only seeing what you wanna see, Greg is pretty hyped.
Is it me or do other open world games feel threatened by Horizon's existence?
I'm looking forward to the game, but I don't think it's going to reinvent the wheel for open world games. I do, however, believe that execution is key for this game to be a success and so far I like what I'm seeing from GG.

Compass, enemy awareness icons, enemy health bar, stealth symbol, xp bar, quest trackers, inventory log, all being turned off immediately.
So glad that this is even possible.
Err, open world games don't have feelings ;D

It speaks volumes out of all the praise greg gave it, this is your takeaway. Confirmation Bias at its best here.

This makes sense...that other stuff you were saying is bollocks though. Killzone 2 was some people GOTY. It scored well, sold well, and had some of the best graphics on PS3. Because it wasn't as successful or popular as Halo or COD (the biggest games in the genre) doesn't mean squat when talking about quality.
Also, think Horizon's going to turn out amazing!

25 main robot types.
Games don't have feelings last I checked. I dunno, many of the open world games seem to be diversifying once again that it seems difficult to just lump them in together. Games like Prey, BoTW and Horizon all have different end goals and different ideas to go about them.
Horizon wants to facilitate its intense action combat as much as possible and the story and mechanics are a framing device for that.
Prey wants to facilitate being in a space Station attacked by aliens, a desperate situation, but one that's not hopeless and the mechanics reinforce that idea.
Breath of the Wild wants to be a sweeping adventure that emphasizes its variety in all of its mechanics and not necessarily focusing in depth on any one but handling them all to an above average level.

That's the first thing i thought of. Or maybe you can simply go underwater for stealth, kinda like Uncharted 3 if i remember correctly.

26 is what we know at the moment.

The important thing to know about this is if variations of the same Robot counts on that number or not? I think they don't... or at least I hope they don't.

26 without counting variations like corrupted.

Corrupted variants don't count.
Yeah. I am getting monster hunter type combat vibes from it. One reason I'm super excited cause I like monster hunter type games but what I dislike about them is that it's always same stages, no exploration (always the same areas cause hey want you to focus on battle only), and barely story focused. If it is anything like the vibe I'm getting it will take the combat I like and crafting from a monster hunter type game but put it in elements I really dislike that monster hunter type games don't have.
I agree that witcher combat was boring (aside from boss battles which were great). But this doesn't get that vibe. This gives me the vibe that if you don't prepare right and focus on the right things you will have a bad time. Where as in witcher you could just keep hitting the swing sword button and in general win. This one looks like it wants you to actually use strategy (traps, aim for the right parts, that kind of thing).

Gregs first words about the game were also "its fucking awesome".
MegaSackman

Yeah well, I'm not exactly counting that but like a bigger version of the raptor thing or those robots that cast fire or ice... if they count on the total number then I hope the variants be at minimum. Personaly I want as many unique type of robots as possible.
Then again, every machine seems to have so much work put into it that I'm sure it'll be fantastic.

Yeah if I HAD to knock one thing about the game so far (visually), it's that I don't like the direction they went with night time lighting. Makes me feel like the world is suddenly under water or something, and it's really lacking contrast. Wish they went with a more natural look or even went with a blue hue instead.
Its not going to slow down any time soon.

Nioh gives off Souls vibes, a popular series, and so hypes people for Nioh
Horizon gives off Farcry vibes, a more popular series, and so is putting people off Horizon ...
Logic is dead.

So excited for this game and the soundtrack, That song from the 2015 E3 reveal still rings in my head.

The more I see of the game the more hyped I'm getting despite my reservations.
Looking forward to picking this up come summer - alongside Nioh, ME:A Yakuza 0.

Far Cry is not more popular than Souls on NeoGAF. It's not even close.

Far Cry's popularity has been in a huge decline, just look at Primal's sales. The souls series is the biggest it has ever been currently.
Yeah, nobody is talking about the music in these previews. What I've heard sounds great, a nice mix of electro and organic elements.

Specifically Far Cry 3/4/Primal than 2.
Frankly, I think because Horizon's Enemy design is so far above the Far Cry Games it'll be a superior title pretty handily, but there are a lot of aspects shared between the two much like there are a number of aspects shared between Far Cry and Zelda.
Gravity Rush 2 only had love for the most part. I blame the dinosaurs.

Game looks amazing. Only thing that will get on my nerves is how difficult it is to take down enemies.

Nioh is only interesting for those that likes those types of games (me), it won't be a big seller. Horizon is the main next thing that's suposed to sell a lot and with a broad appeal. That brings more people with different agendas.

I loved Farcry Primal and so hope it IS like Farcry in some respects. That's what blows my mind. It's been touted as a bad thing and it really isn't.

If that's the case then I'm fine with the number. Otherwise I'll have to see how much depth there's into every robot but honestly I think everything involving combat/robots it's going to be great.

Zelda and Mass Effect come out in the same timeframe but there hasnt been too many gameplay videos. Naturally there should be questions about that.
Horizon on the other hand has been very open with releasing a good amount of videos before release. So far everyone who has played the game has not nothing but positive things to say. Which leads me to wonder why so many people are so concerned about Horizon or trying to start "conversations"

Note that they never mention best sales of a Far Cry game ever nor do they compare it to other Far Cry games, just that it was the best selling in February.

Oh, yeah I'm not at all defending those who continue to repeat themselves with the same complaint and ignore all the actual reason they were given.
This is still false. The reaction speed is for momentum and thus affected movement more than anything. Combat is still dynamic based on distance, skillset (and then whether you are tapping or holding the buttons), and how you are moving.
Sorry Som but you're in the wrong on this one. You are seeking a lot of things beyond the combat that have been mentioned in a large part of the previews, including stuff they talk about but were not allowed to record.

Zelda games are mechanically pretty diverse. I think people are just a little wary because Guerilla's resume is a controversial or at least inconsistent regarding plain quality. Taking prior games as a reference as to what quality to expect sounds perfectly legitimate and reliable enough.
Oh yeah totally. But at least during the summer things will slow down a bit and give me a chance to get through horizon
Same shit happens in Nintendo threads. It's not just Sony it's just typical console wars bullshit

Because they can't play it like the press or other people did and can't wait anymore so they/we have to talk about it, but the truth is... we have not much else to discuss at this point, we just need the game.
