It's the teeth that plunge it into the surreal for me. They keep putting more and more effort into facial animations but mouths still plunge it straight into the uncanny valley.

Nintendo can do no wrong. Guerrilla hasn't done a decent game sine Killzone 2.
Both games have:
- open worlds
- trees
- bows and arrows
- camps of enemies
- are exclusives
Zelda has:
- authentic cooking
- charming visuals reminiscent of Dawn of Mana
- physics based gameplay
- magic
- Link not speaking every 10 seconds
Horizon has:
- Zoids
- realistic visuals reminiscent of Far Cry
- crafting reminiscent of Far Cry
- battles reminiscent of Far Cry
- towers reminiscent of Far Cry
- markers everywhere
- HUD so you know what you're doing
- That one cutscene

Will probably get sequels that let people remember it? I'm sorry but even if I've criticized the game there's nothing to say that Horizon won't be remembered in a Decade aside for all life on earth dying or something.

Zelda seems like its gonna be really special. Horizon looks so incredibly derivative, like they went down a checklist of every new AAA western game trend and cobbled it together. A little Witcher, a little Mass Effect, a little Skyrim, a little Far Cry, a little Uncharted/Tomb Raider, throw in a Strong Female Character that's progressive with the kids these days, and BAM.

Some elements seem derivative and boring, but the core gameplay in combat looks really strong and really well fleshed out though. And the enemy design lends it such an unique flavor that should not be under estimated.
Edit: Also, really about the Female character? What a Short sighted comment.

No... anything but a female lead!
I actually don't think that's going to be a negative. A lot of great games this year have been about really nailing the execution inside of well trodden genres.

We don't want any progressiveness down here!

I can't though. I have no idea what cauldrons in Horizon Looks like. I can guess and probably say that Zelda has mechanics that better support more varied design which favors its potential dungeons. But those could still not be great. And I can't really say much about Cutscene quality because we don't have enough detail on those. Though, I think Zelda has slightly more visually interesting sequences because of its artstyle.
Funny, isn't it?
Every 5 or 10 pages, somebody shows up to remind everybody about "that scene with the weird voice acting".
Like a broken record. TOTALLY by accident, of course.
Funny and still very interesting. Some are really concerned because of Horizon

That scene is going to be Horizon's version of that Uncharted 3 cutscene comparison image of Chloe. An excellent way to know to not take someone seriously once they bring it up.
Exactly. Still funny as hell.
Please describe how it would look for a game to have a female protagonist that you wouldn't dismiss as "Strong Female Character ".

Why on earth would anyone who intends to buy both games hope that one of them doesn't measure up? I'm hoping they're both amazing games in their own right. If I do wind up with a clear preference I don't see what that would be universally true. Others can and certainly will have opinions that differ from my own.
Girls, they have cooties right?
Someone please tell me this is someone badly dubbing over this game. Please lol.
Even still, I mostly play these kinds of games with v/o's off so this won't bother me personally much.
Funny I feel the exact opposite. I think zelda is going to be fine but so much of what it is doing is adopting other popular ideas.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Majority of what its doing had been based from the original LoZ with even some sprinkles from other Zelda games aswell

I see people are still circulating that one scene and talking about it as if it's indicative of the entire game. There's plenty of Horizon media out there that showcases better voice acting but let's not talk about that, let's continue down this ignorant road.

Is this a joke post? No offence if you're serious, I need to know before I spend my time writing a proper reply.

Why would a video game cause concern?
You fanboys are strange.
Also this whole thread is stupid. Both games look fantastic, I'm personally more excited for Zelda due to being a long term fan of the series. If my concerns regarding Horizon being a Ubisoft-esque open world game turn out to be false I shall pick the game up for summer.
The repeated posting of the cutscene is just trolling. People getting wound up by it should realise should they stop reacting people will stop posting the thing. Big RPGs have jank - TW3 is the only huge open world RPG I can think of where a cutscene didn't strike me as janky.
Both parties need to stop needlessly comparing the games, it derails threads pointlessly. That FATALITY poster was quite bad for it initially, I recall their first post during e3 last year when Horizon was shown to mention how there's no way in hell Zelda could match up. Now they're acting holier-than-though in all Horizon threads.
Dat authentic cooking tho. Best game ever. Horizon has no chance.
I can already smell my upcoming meal.
I wouldn't be surprised if the second half of content in this game is super rushed, this looks abysmal.

I wonder if I could make some BBQ Ribs in the game, cause if I could, I'm sold.
the main character sounds fine, the guy is odd sounding. Having seen footage for the first time, the eyes look weird to me -- they look realistic but still out of place somehow

This would be the correct way to put your statement. Adoption implies they didn't think about what that would mean for the game. Adaption means that they did.
Why are there towers in Ubisoft Games? To serve as gateways to content essentially. There's a blatant artificiality that isn't satisfying present which is the issue with them.
Why are there Towers in Zelda? The Answer is simple, to give the player a vantage point to see into the distance and facilitate the loop of exploration that they designed the game around.
Same Concept, different result.
Damn.
It's not so much the problem of having that awfully acted scene, it's more the idea of having the people responsible thinking "that's good enough".
What other parts of the game they may have thought were good enough?

That scene is all types of bad, there are other scenes in the previews that are much, much better. Hope that's the only throwaway scene in the game.
Beef-Roulade = Automatically the greatest game ever.

Horizon has many different locales, I haven't seen enough of Zeldas locales to make a definitive decision.

For Watch Dogs, it makes sense since you're a hacker and you unlock points of interest, kinda like how I real hacker would collate information gleaned from what they hacked and then turning it into useful data.

This is honestly, one of my top criticisms. It should be addressed and talked about, and not just brushed under the rug. Or be called a fanboy, honestly this is worth talking about.

How is it? One result intentionally invokes a sense of adventure through observation. The other plasters markers on your map.
