They did show the gameplay footage of the first game quite early as well. I wonder what else they have got as this was probably their biggest game to show ? I guess they have GOW trailer ready as well for later

my guess is that there is no Sony conference at e3. They will probably wait a few weeks or a month or two to do their conference.

They should have quite a few games to show. From what has been rumored anyway.

- Square enix team ninja FF souls game
- Ff16
- new ip from Cory
- Mark cernys mgs remake
- Tlou remake and factions
- Gt7
- New ip from Destiny guys
- New ip from GG

 

[Hobbygaming]

Give us fly mount... plz...

I wouldn't even mind if they just did a few levels where you fly a glinthawk taking down other machines kinda like Panzer Dragon style

Underwater exploration is a big improvement so far

I could be wrong but I don't see Sony letting their competitors get the spotlight around E3. I think they'll announce their show soon

 

[IntentionalPun]

Excited but also not gonna set my expectations too high on what I really want to see; gameplay systems.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Can't wait. 1st one is definitely in my top 3 PS4 games

I think Sony is trying to sandwich E3 and their competitors.

• Pre-E3 = Horizon Forbidden West State of Play
• Mid-E3 = Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart Game Release
• Post-E3 = Either a God of War State of Play (less likely) or a Summer Sony Show (more likely)

Sony kind of did a similar-ish thing last year. They first released TLOU2. Then held a show in June, a month before Xbox's E3 show. Then in July around Xbox's show, Sony released Ghost of Tsushima. Then a few weeks later, they held their September show.

They were happy letting Xbox go and take the stage last year. I don't think they will mind it this time either.

You have a much better memory than me lol but yeah Sony is the best at strategic moves/planning and they might want to give Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart some time in the spotlight to Itself

I can see them waiting until July if needed

Just a quick point - the PS5 stream was June 11. Then TLOU2 was June 19.

(But both were publicly delayed, TLOU2 was gonna be May release, Ghost got delayed, etc.)

 

[Tomeru]

Cuz huh, she's a clone ? made by a machine hello ?

 

[Yselacrey00]

Whatever. I expect this game to be just as boring as the first one. I don't know why people like such mediocre games.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

I think this is the only time where I'm glad "next gen" games are cross platform, as I won't buy a ps5 in some years still. Thank god this and GoW come to the ps4 aswell!

 

[NoviDon]

theres going to be more of an emphasis on swimming in this game. You can tell with the island and water themes of the early footages they have shown so far. This may piss some people off, but not me, im going to enjoy that alot. The scene in the reveal trailer with aloy swimming through the reefs and discovering the sunken building was beautiful.

 

[Dodkrake]

One of the few flaws this game had was with facial animations, everything looked a bit stiff. Here's hope they improve that. Combat was amazing though, and the world was beautiful.

 

[sncvsrtoip]

Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon Forbidden West

would wait for tomorrow gameplay for such comparissons

yeah, it seems like game #1 (land), game #2 (water), game #3 (aerial).

Horizon Zero Dawn on PC looks better

Oh yes wait till they come out with Rivet Waifu pillows.

Loved the game so much,saying that, i did not like the look of Aloy as a child, she reminded me of that kid with the boomerang in Mad max 2

you guys should not have too much of expectation for this game.

Not trying to troll , but please remember this game is crossgen.

 

[Negotiator101]

"In engine" doesn't equate to the final product though

We shall see very soon.

 

[Negotiator101]

We get Kena in August and Deathloop in September. July would be perfect.

Aren’t we eating good this year? If PS keeps this pace this year will rival 2001. All we need is Final Fantasy and GT 7 by the end of December.

But what they got for holiday this year? No chance this releases before November, remember Microsoft have Halo lined up and Sony will want a big release around a similar time.

What? Bungie ain't unveiling a new IP anytime soon. GG are working on Horizon obviously and you think they'll unveil another project this year? MGS remake? Does anyone actually want that?

SHUT YOUR FACE varmit features, this game will be the bee's knees.

You will marvel at its beauty and hmm i wonder if they will end up releasing a ps5 upgraded patch later down the line.

Peace

i believed the game will still wow us visually, but since they have to catered to PS4, i already lowered my expectation, hopefully wont be disappointing

 

[DenchDeckard]

Cant wait to see the crabs again! 14 minutes of gameplay is going to be so lush! Hats off to Sony and Guerilla here....Set the precedent for E3 time...Show us gameplay of games!

 

[SlimySnake]

Not bungie. Ex bungie guys. Sony recently announced an exclusive partnership with them.

Exactly. Yesterday this clip popped up on my YT feed:




That's UE4, that's what the engine is capable of, needless to say there aren't any games that come close to it. So indeed, "in-engine" other than showing the overall artstyle is not an indicator of how a game itself will actually look like. For example, GT5 trailers look just as good as GT:Sport, but we all know the game itself (GT5) is faaar from that level of quality.

 

[Galatico91]

Can't wait

I noticed this as well. PS set a standard early then waited for if the rest of the industry can get close to that standard.

Kinda sucks really. It's almost as if Playstation doesn't feel compelled or the need to compete.

I love how we have a DJ Khaled gif for every situation and occasion

Horizon Forbidden West has foliage and tropical scenery, so here is DJ Khaled vacationing in a tropical area It's like he is purposefully creating all these gifs for our use.

It does seem like they really up the ante when they need to. I bet if Xbox brings it at E3 then Sony will drop some bombs in their show

The guy in the middle is right tho, pure gameplay pic vs in engine cinematics...

Let's wait to see if aloy still have that sexy perfectly rounded ear during gameplay.

That doesn’t need to happen in game. We’ve already seen gameplay and it’s the same difference you see there from last game to this on PS5. Obviously cinematic will be over gameplay. I’m not worried

Miles and R&C passed the sniff test. I fully expect Horizon to continue that trend.

Also, LOD exists for a reason. Cutscene models never match gameplay models, because you're never as close to the gameplay character model to need the same LOD. This is just smart coding.

 

[SlimySnake]

Fronting?

Sony is funding their first game.

Sony has announced a new partnership with Firewalk Studios, a developer founded by a number of former Bungie employees who are working on a new AAA multiplayer game. That game will now be developed exclusively for PlayStation.

We don't really know shit and he was perfectly right in having doubts for that comparison.

Ear details are probably one of the first thing devs cut from actual gameplay because nobody look these things while killing dino-mofos...

 

[blastprocessor]

Hope the visuals are not compromised by cross gen. Pray for 60fps mode.

I know that in general sony games look almost as good as their cinematics, but is still an unfair comparison because it is pure gameplay against cinematics where details are always better, especially for small things that you don't really notice ingame like ears or mouth or teeth but you notice in close ups during cutscenes.

 

[skit_data]

I don’t expect the game to look like the announcement trailer except for the intro (quite a lot of imperfections in the crashing waves and water flow) and maybe this part:

The game will still probably look beyond crazy

I fully expect to look like that because it was not really unrealistic like the hellblade 2 trailer...

 

[Games of Today]

Seems like there is going to be a lot of swimming! The maps is going to be epic! Looks to be a lot of verticality, hopefully up and down.
