There is already enough pop that even sdr looks hdr
(not even kidding)Sony need to put a pair of sunglasses inside the cover of the game for people who are gonna play this one in a dark room with hdr.

Yup! I just wish they removed the bandits or at least had no human kills as a choice, to make it family friendly. Robots and dinos is like the ultimate kids fantasy! I once kept away from people and just ran around in the wild to hunt dinos in HZD1 and my youngest one (5) was literally jumping in his seat from how cool he thought it was lol, for him I guess it was Ninjago or something. And even for me the dinos are awesome, for real, everything about them is perfection, designs, names, behaviour. They could've made toys and all kinds of stuff from this IP, easily. But for some reason they had to turn it into Assassin's Creed.

I find it hard to believe it can look this good on a base PS4 from 2013 but than again, last of us 2 and rdr2 punch way above their weight on a base PS4 so it's possible.

There is zero blood when she kill that chick with her lance, you can tell your son that she is putting them to sleep or some shit if he is little enough.

The human combat looks SO much better than HZD.

"Don't worry she just fainted…" lol
Seriously though I just think it's a wasted opportunity, it's the coolest idea ever to combine robots and dinosaurs for kids from 5-10, and the bandits gameplay was boring anyway so I don't mind if they had removed it. The best part for me with HZD1 was carefully bringing down big dinos with traps. I went full on Schwarzenegger in Predator and set up a whole area with traps before I triggered a bosslike bellowback fight. It was awesome!

Smart move by them. He needs to be on all their games for trailers involving combat.

Your a better player than me then! Did you finish it without new game plus?
If I remember correctly to kill a thunderjaw you needed you hit him with every blast sling you had and that would only get him to about half health and a single tail swipe would kill you.

I'm really not that good, just experienced.
It is better to weaken the TJ by stripping all the weapons he has with the tear blast arrows, after that he can just charge and tail swipe, it's not the hardest dinobot in the game, the giant eagle and the enemies in the dlc are tougher.

There's something like "IF=SteppedOn() THEN WaveyAnimation" for folliage, where it just triggers an animation routine upon collision. Grass can wave, and it can wiggle when stepped on, and there can be for instance the movement of rustling wind or even heavy turbulence and rolling gusts from a storm (which could probably be done with that same animation-trigger system maybe?,) but that would be different from a "crush" system for grasses. (And they couldn't use that animation-trigger trick on big grass because the whole field would go bonkers in every which way if you entered a thicket. Aloy would go one way, and the grass would just billow out of control without direction or speed-of-impact.)
The current game does not seem to actually have 'physics' attached to the grasses still, which is disappointing. Maybe that's still on the to-do list and isn't installed for stability? Or maybe it's just not compatible with how they dynamically generate grasses? (However, big grass tufts like these would probably be hand-placed on the terrain since they're part of the level design/tactics, so I would think these chunks wouldn't have that limitation?)
...Everything else about Horizon FW though looks faboo. Wish it hadn't got pushed to 2022, would have been amazing to have both Horizon and Halo (or Horizon and 'Horizon, for that matter) going head-to-head this year.

Marketing most games the quality mode is what most devs usually the go to mode to show off their game. Playing at 60fps is the way to go though

its strange that the tall grass does not react to aloy as the PC port does have that on by default .

This looks hype AF, it almost like hype me about the game more than the first gameplay presentation.
Right? And then March GT7
Can't decide what to play in february!

Er, yeah, huh? I remember that coming up in a different conversation (I was actually looking up Death Stranding grass, which has a grass system but nothing I saw that taxed it differently than Horizon.. didn't even think to look up the PC version.)
That has a lot of the needed physics systems in action (it's not perfect "crush" but it's a game, you don't want the character to be all caught up in the collision system, you just want chunks of it to push down as the character brushes past, and maybe stay down or askew behind them to leave a path,) I'm not sure why it doesn't seem to be in action on the seen foliage in the sequel?

Its possible Cory took all the leads with him for his new IP. The A Team so to speak. That's basically what happened in 2010 when Stig took the A Team for his new IP while the b team made the underwhelming GoW Ascension.
Horizon is open world and looks way better than gow which only has one open world section, the lake of nine. The rest is very linear. It should not look this underwhelming. Hell Spider-Man miles looks better so both insomniac and GG are making them look bad. It should look as good as TLOU2, a similarly wide linear last gen game.

I still think the original HZD looks great, so any improvement on that visually is a bonus. I'm more excited for the improvements in gameplay, along with the added variety of enemies and environments. Got the platinum for the first game purely because I enjoyed it so much, and I can't see the sequel being any different.

I think that might be the work of the team that ported it to PC, maybe the feature that isn't yet tested/implemented for the PS5 pipeline in the engine.

Looks brilliant! But seems like there pushing more into hyper-realistic approach with those exaggerated moves and agility. The first game had much more weight, but this seems to have more fun factor as it seems.
Well, not every game has to be a walkie-talkie, walking simulator to make me happy so I welcome the change.

There comes a point where you gotta drop realism in favor of gameplay. Horizon has done a great job on living in the two worlds like uncharted
Movement is a big part of what makes games fun for me, which is why I'm excited by Forspoken also. Even kratos has grappling hooks now

Yeah for Horizon it works perfectly as it's already a hyperreality setup. So for me who played the hell out of the first one + DLC it feels a bit floaty, just like some hardcore GOW fans who hate the latest one as it's a major departure from the arcade-ish gameplay GOW series had in the past.

Yeah, one of my big request for Ragnarok was upgraded mobility. I enjoyed 2018 but sometimes kratos felt like a tank. He felt like Leon in RE2/4 and i kind of wanted more bounce. Knowing i can close distance and zip around with blade of chaos is what made me excited for ragnarok

Don't expect too much upgrade though before we cut the cord with last gen. GOW Ragnarok would need to cope with HDD and shite CPU. But I really like the weight I feel in GOW, my best game of all time, as you really feel like you really controlling that pile of muscle yourself. More mobility would help indeed, but I expect it in the next one with faster traversal in real time like gliding with wings or something.

This game looks gorgeous. This is the game that's going to get me to start looking for the PS5 seriously. I enjoyed the world in the first one, but this looks leagues better graphically.

Indeed. By far the most beautiful and gorgeous-looking cross-gen game I've ever seen.
God of War: Ragnarok might change this closer to its release, but I don't see any other title taking that crow for now.

Why is there not more hype for this game?
I finally got a chance to check out the original on PS5 (after having started playing it on the Pro) and the game looks really great.
I can only imagine what the sequel will look like running on my tv.
My best is advice is get to know the name Jake Randall

They never did with Spider-Man and God of War executions. Adds to the flair, especially with multiple animations (as we have already seen)

Gameplay looks better than in the first game. Outsmart your human enemies in part 1: Run into a corner and melee them down one after the other.
I think all those open world games don't need sneak kills. It mostly feels like cheating and it's not challenging or satisfying/fun at all.
