Horizon Forbidden West - Gameplay Trailer

This definitely looks cross gen, but the upgrade is massive. Her character model looks better, the water tech is massively improved, the lighting and foliage have gotten a massive upgrade. GOW looks more like an expansion. This looks like a Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2 caliber leap.

I agree there's an upgrade, but nowhere near U1 > U2 to me at least.
 
Hyped!

They are teasing flying mounts?...

I really thought this trailer was going to end with flight, yeah. Was convinced that flight was a mechanic they were hiding for the next reveal.

I must be the only one who is not really hyped for flying mounts...

To me they just make the world feel small and how many games have FUN flying mechanics\combat? Almost none.

No, I'm with you, I partly want it to just shut up the complaints about there not being flying mounts in the first game. Flight in an open-world game adds a ton of complications that the game might not recover from. Often when you finally get to fly in a game, you get up there and go, "Okay, now what?", and it's only fun for a little bit before you get back to the main gameplay.

That said, I could see a Horizon game doing something interesting with a flight system. And it for sure seems like the game wants to take to the air (and that the engine could handle it, to some capacity) but every tease doesn't go there, either because it's still secret or because the designers didn't like it / it had problems in tests and it's not in the game.

Flying in Anthem was absolutely incredible. It made the game so much more fun than other looter shooters.

Sure, but that's a game made for flight, it's one of its main features. It's also a world inside canyons, so the flight is more fun because you're weaving about and doing stuff. (I actually didn't play Anthem, I only know it from video, so correct me if I'm wrong?) That's a little different from an open-world with flight, where you just take to the air and fly over empty sky and maybe fight some Razorwings or other things up there but generally don't have to deal with obstacles in your flightpath.

Yep. But I would love for them to do the same mettallic armor design for all the enemies and embrace transformers like colors and metal sheen. For example, the Jaguar or Cheetah in that pic would look far cooler if it was all black.

I personally prefer the multy color choice, it make them distinguish more from each other.

But i would like a single color pattern for like legendary dinobots (if they even exist in this sequel), like every single species has one legendary exemplary of a unique color pattern and you have to find and kill them to get special perks or some shit.

Something like MH with gold rathian or silver rathalos etc.

First off, this is probably a day one purchase for me and I'm really excited for it. It will most likely be a great game. But...

It looks decidedly cross gen. It looks like the best looking PS4 game ever made, but running at a higher resolution/frame rate, with higher texture quality. Which is cool, but I'm used to Guerilla Games blazing new frontiers with their visuals. I know Killzone 2 e3 demo was fake, but the final game was still the best looking console game ever made at the time. Same with Shadow Fall, and arguably HZD until Red Dead 2 came along. Forbidden West doesn't seem to have that kind of impact, visually.

I think it looks really good. I'm at a point where I'm happy where graphics are in most games.

Looks like the extra time is paying off though
 
So far this is the best looking game coming out anytime soon on any platform right now. Cross-gen or not, this is eye meltingly gorgeous.

not only that but it actually looks fun to play. Can't wait to glide off some mountains
 
Lock that I've seen so far, but I would have hoped that the extra grunt of the PS5 would have meant more environmental interaction when Aloy runs through foliage.
 
I hope we get to explore some more underground areas in the sequel. Imagine underwater caves, guarded by robo-squid? They've shown us plenty of new machines already, but fingers crossed they have kept some cools ones under-wraps. If Guerrilla have improved on most of the aspects of the first game, then I think this sequel could be pretty special.
 
I really, really want to see Guerillas's take on a fuckin' Dragon!!! The thunderjaws were like mini bosses in Zero Dawn, very well executed and looked incredible regardless of which sight you looked. Tremortusks look great judging from the trailers as well, but a dragon-like machine is what I really want to see. Would look menacing!!!

Watching Sony's top tier games cleanses my eyes from latest BS we've seen in terms of both animations and graphics.

Definitely aren't many studios out there who can pull off the technical presentation of their games the way most Sony studios do. Last I heard their Malaysia Studio isn't fully ready yet. They're still building out the team while they wait for a new studio location to be built. Once those guys are fully ready we'll probably see even better results, and perhaps faster, considering their focus is art and animation support.

We all just playing for second place with ubis india team on PoP
 
I've barely got into the first one yet! Too much enjoyment in Mass Effect 2 but I will eventually seeing as it was freebie, though this game I won't upgrade to a PS5 for, I am sure it will be just fine on the PS4 Pro...
 
I really don't understand why there aren't more toys for this franchise? I would have loved some of these as a kid. I guess maybe because it's a teen rated game. I'd eve take a nice Thunderjaw Lego set

I think for the next iteration they are gonna go full on mythological creatures or hybrids. Thinks like a Sphinx, dragon, kraken…etc
