2022 it is.

No, it's a H2 2021 game.

Is that the PC version? Where is the peasant version?

The game is PS4 and PS5 only, no PC version planned. The footage was captured on PS5.

 

[Yoboman]

2022 it is.

well that would be a delay, not "development on track"

 

[HoofHearted]

It's cross gen so will be $60

Even better.

 

[jroc74]

4K trailer.

 

[Zoro7]

So all those "leakers" saying 60fps patch for original were talking shite?

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Dat sand.
Dat greenery.
Doze rocks.

The detail underwater is spectaclular. Holy shit! It pops in 4k.

The water interaction looks great, with the raiders and their mounts splashing around.

Waves look nice.

I love the sea mist.

Material shaders on point.

Aloy's character model looks amazing, even when in combat. Lots of detail.

Awesome demo. I'm really impressed with what they've delivered. GT7 and GOW next up to bat.

 

[DonJorginho]

2022 it is.

This screams late 2021 (November to be exact) to me actually. I guess we will get a release date at their summer event going by the "very soon"

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Xbox can't compete with these games Sony are putting out. The gulf between the two companies is staggering in terms of output.

Game looks phenomenal and unreal.

To see negative comments constantly from that side on PS5 graphics is disheartening -- the only next gen experiences to be had currently can only be found on PS5. Nowhere else PC included.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

It looks a little better than the original, but it's not really a next gen showpiece. On another note, I am getting tired of Sony's formula of mo-capped story bits leading into typical open world fare. I died a little inside when Aloy was crouched in the reeds with her head and shoulders fully exposed and the robo dinosaurs and humans about 5 feet away looked directly at her, but were like "nothing to see here! just another human-shaped reed."

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Far more impressive looking gameplay/cutscenes even on the compressed Twitch stream compared to the preview long shots.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Playstation exclusive stated at the end.
This should stop any port begging.

They said this about the first game and that ended up on PC

2022 it is.

Its definitely coming out in 2022, they would have a release date by now if it was coming this year.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

The game is PS4 and PS5 only, no PC version planned. The footage was captured on PS5.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

It's cross gen so will be $60

$70 for PS4/PS5 bundle IMO.

 

[AGRacing]

Why did they make this a stream and not a processed 4K video that they could "premiere"!? So they could run a 5 hour waiting room? That stream looked like trash.


The game will look great in the 4K video... but I would never let a YouTube STREAM be the first way someone saw my game. Idiotic decision.

 

[TheTechnician]

The bottom one was terrible. I thought you were posting it to take the piss. I'll delete my comment. The 4k video is stunning- for anyone who is saying it looks current gen.

4k version did help indeed but the point of PS5 being slowed down py PS4 is obvious ! Expect the PS4 and PS4 Pro versions to look basicly the same but with lesser Resolution and half the framerate (hopefully)

 

[SSfox]

Aloy looks so much prettier than in HZ1

Spoiler

Guerrila need to give her more sexy outfits

 

[sendit]

I want to see what Guirilla can do, unthetered to the PS4.

@DForce you too

Smh, and people wonder why he doesn't want to stay here with this kinda behavior. If y'all want his opinion, tag him. But why antagonize things.

Don't worry. This will look better on PC in 2-4 years when it gets released on that platform. Stay strong PCMR!

 

[DonJorginho]

$70 for PS4/PS5 bundle IMO.

It's a free upgrade mate.

 

[ElCasual]

Two things:
Dont make a countdown to long for a game without a release date.
I will hit Aloy SO hard.

 

[mancstheps5fanboy]

that perty and full of detail in 4k uncompressed , like watching a movie game. n dats just a taster, ohh them undulating waves , whilst battling a dino mammoth, shittt. dat hair and water , world feels fully organic , but a nice overwordly twist and style of colours that pop in hdr, cool.

need to see a storm now in game!!

playstation!

 

[DonJorginho]

It is not coming 2022, I still am adamant this will come November 2021, they have said the date is coming very very soon which indicates within next month (after R&C releases)

 

[Topher]

They said this about the first game and that ended up on PC

No necessarily. Ghost of Tsushima's release date was announced three months before it was released.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

It's a free upgrade mate.

Oh, they said that? Good news if so.

 

[Audiophile]

2022 it is.

Original release date is "2021" and I'd assume "on track" would imply that? *hopes*

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Some folks need to remember, this is a game in active development. For it to display well and play like it does speaks to the devs skills and hard work.

 

[Dodkrake]

"downgrades"

 

[roosnam1980]

the bar has been raised

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

looks great. congrats to guerrilla artists. i hope in this sequel every random npc in the world has a complex day and night cycle and we can have meaningful conversations with every single one of them and of course i want to be able to sit on every chair. and a complex police/crime system. otherwise 6/10

Man Cyberpunk reception has absolutely fucked you lmao

 

[ManaByte]

Concern.

If you want to play 30fps games, Sony has a system for that.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

At least say it looks like THE top tier current gen game, if you're going to be that critical.

I'll make 4K screenshots later from the trailer. Gimme some time.

 

[Yoboman]

I thought watching the YouTube stream it was slightly downgraded but the 4K is a whole other deal, detail even like the moss on branches really pops

Looks like it's held up really nicely

 

[SSfox]

Ok i'm loving it and it's day one

Spoiler

but hermen better not port this on PC or...

 

[abel empire]

After watching ratchet amd clank and hprizon forbiden west, it has just cemented what ive always said. PLAYSTATION STUDIOS make the best looking games in the industry they are just far ahead in art and technicality, the presentation never dissapoints, imagine this game is cross gen and still has this much detail. I cant wrap my head how more detailed they could have made it if it was only designed for ps5 from scratch. Incredible it gave me goose bumps of when i first played turok on n64 my first 3d game as a kid it felt adventurous.

bet being in a storm is fkin mind blowing

playstation!

 

[blastprocessor]

It didn't look "crossgen" to me seems ground up developed on PS5 and they port it to PS4?

Facial animations massively improved.

 

[Snake29]

 

[harmny]

Man Cyberpunk reception has absolutely fucked you lmao

cybewhat? we are talking about horizon here.

 

[mancstheps5fanboy]

I'm so excited i am quoting myself!!

I'd guess so they can Premiere on Twitch as well

 

[Bo_Hazem]

2022 it is.

Nah, they're waiting to see E3 and all games then they'll decide. Smart.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I wouldn't worry about the release date not being announced just yet

Ratchet's release date was announced 4 months before release, Returnal's 2 months before release

Still plenty of time

 

[Life]

Maybe don't do a live stream next time? Youtube quality looked pretty crappy even at 1080p. Watching the upload is totally different in terms of quality. Just saying, first impressions last.

 

[mancstheps5fanboy]

sand deformation

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Looks like the lady from west world if she lived a forest.

I actually didnt like the first game as much as I thought I would. It felt like the best ubisoft game ever made. This trailer made me a day one buyer. They fixed alot of the issues I had from the first one.

Aloy's head shape is all kinds of busted because they designed in huge cheekbones and jawbones and a large forehead so she has a face that's narrower in the forehead and chin and wider at eye level, that's called a diamond face shape.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

At least say it looks like THE top tier current gen game, if you're going to be that critical.

Going by that pic, nothing special at all. That's got to be the blurriest sky and worst looking clouds in modern gaming.

On the plus side it has nice contrasting colours in that scene with a Battlefield kind of look where it's dark colours and a streak of orange.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

cybewhat? we are talking about horizon here.

I almost want to hug you

 

[DJ12]

4K !!!

 

[Audiophile]

Main complaints that stick out when everything else looks so nice is temporal stability and artifacting from TAA/Upsampling and lower res DoF sampling. Can everyone at Sony please just adopt Insomniac's Temporal Injection?!

 

[Arun1910]

I died a little inside when Aloy was crouched in the reeds with her head and shoulders fully exposed and the robo dinosaurs and humans about 5 feet away looked directly at her, but were like "nothing to see here! just another human-shaped reed."

It's just a Gameplay mechanic. Realism doesn't always beat Gameplay and this is... a game.

 

[Shodan09]

also.. did someone notice that basicly every area that shows actually some details is actually a "room" of some sorts. It is tailored exactly to not stress PS4 to much... Also in Water it looked okay but viewdistance is like 20 meters. And dont tell me it is realistic. You can have very clear sight in water!
Also - if theres actually a distant shot there is always fog or deep hanging clouds. To obscure of course Terrain. Terrain that does not need to show actual foliage detail if covered up like this.

I fucking new it.

It definitely shows it was designed around PS4 limitations. Still looks good I think but nothing game changing. Ratchet and souls are the significantly better looking PS5 games.
