Good -fucking- Lord at these gifs. Especially at that rainy, foggy one. This is just unbelievably atmospheric.
 
Damn reviews soon tells me they are pretty damn confident.

This signals to me this is their next "phase" of marketing. IF reviews are good most people will wake up and preorder. There are a lot of people who won't pick up a game unless reviews are good. I also think they want enough time to cut an accolades trailer.
 
Starting tomorrow there is a possibility that the picture below will be in museums and text books 10's of thousands of years from now.

Lol that's pretty good.

But on-topic of this thread, I would like to talk about how my hands shake in front of my face while i fight the tears streaming down my cheeks as I watch gameplay videos of this beauty.

Really hoping the facial animation is better than I remember seeing in some semi-recent videos though :/
 
This game looks way too good and atmospheric for a weird robot dinosaur setting. Not sure I want to buy this game, one hand hand its amazing, one the other hand the main thematic element seem silly. I like the tribal/native american aspect, but robot dinosaurs? Eh.....
 
Horizon was off my radar but I'm starting to succumb to the hype...Looking forward to reading reviews/watching gameplay vids tomorrow when the embargo lifts.

I don't get this...at all. You OK with killing orcs, and using magic? What's the difference? Plus robot dinos is fucking cool. Sentient AI has been a thing in literature forever.

Sci-fi has tackled topics as diverse as giving human-level sentience to dolphins and other animals (aka uplifting)

It's all in the execution
 
Your PS4 has dust on it??

You're waiting for a price drop on Horizon?

Well OK then.

I game on PC primarily. I don't like putting money into a secondary gaming machine if I can help it. Especially when the base PS4 is so far below what my PC is capable of. I like my gaming library to be forwards compatible and maintaining a secondary library doesn't appeal to me. So yes. I will buy Horizon when it gets a price cut or I will rent it like I did UC4.
 
My source dried up. Was expecting to get this today. Good thing I didn't pay early lol

Off to message sources. Will be very interested to see what the reviews say tonight...or tomorrow morning.
