The first image looks exactly like the trailer. Bravo!

It is important to note that these are wide vista shots. During gameplay, these objects will be closer to the player/camera and, therefore, will have higher LOD than what we are seeing right now.

Sigh, it's just how it's going to look like. You also have 4 hours timer in the left upper corner. You think this will also be in the game?
Sorry, I don't think we are talking about this in the same way. The eye could just be exactly what you say, I agree. But it seems odd that they would have a camera (assuming that means anything at all either of course) would have that same issue/ mechanic.

It might just be a hint at the HUD though I agree.

When it comes to big games i usually watch the reveal in real time like most people, but this time i'm gonna wait a couple of minutes for the 4k version they always load after the reveal, who is with me?!

I'm gonna play some biomutant in the meantime.

Not sure I can really tell what we're seeing in this ASMR preview footage with how much compression/artefacts/shimmering/few pop ins there is but re-watching the gameplay reveal of TLoU2 (incidentally a year to the day I just realised!) I'm honestly not blown away but after watching the high bit-rate video of the H:FW debut in-engine trailer last year I guess it isn't surprising.
 
People complaining about this weren't around to wait for the last Death Stranding trailer.
Remember that? Those scenes in loop hidden by the hands, that we could watch before the official time we enough people went to the stream (it failed).

Is it me hoping for too much and seeing things that arent there or is there sub surface scattering on some of the trees and foilage?

I remember that being one of those things in the reveal trailer i thought was ”too good to be true”. I remember seeing it on the kelp during the underwater scene when the Snapmaw swims just above.

I was thinking about doing that, but nah. I am here for the meltdowns.

How do you know Aloy is not riding a stormbird?

I don't think it's possible if it's still on PS4, for a number of reasons shown in videos like the AI pathing, and the streaming required. It might be, but it's not somethign I consider to be possible but everyone is keen on flying dino's so this seems like a decent compromise with full flight in III (next gen only)

I'm almost sure that ps4 version will be downgraded. probably mostly on vegetation and some effects.
Oh of course it will have to be. But Sony are never gonna show the PS4 version pre-launch, just like with Miles Morales. (And Miles on PS4 looks fine, just not as good.)

But at a minimum, HFW on PS4 will look just as good as HZD on PS4.

You have to understand, horizon was my gotg, it's not like a normal sequel for me, that's why i'm always a broken record with my fuck you jimbo posts about the game being crossgen.

I will not get distracted by the meltdown in here, i'm gonna savour the 4k trailer like jason schreier savour a meeting with a bunch of unemployed devs 🕺

Also we are having slow days at work so the metldown is gonna be glorious to read tomorrow during the many dead moments.

And tbh, if sony fuckup this sequel, we all know that the real meltdown is gonna be my personal reaction tomorrow morning:goog_neutral:

yeah but i have high hopes for horizon because it is being made with ps5 in mind. miles is great sure, but you clearly can see that is not a native ps5 game.

Can some help?

Just started watching the vid but it says "live" when will it start or is this already the "state of play"? Do they want us to watch "landscapes" and "day time" and "seasons" for 4h ?!?!? :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Is this a joke or something ? :messenger_hushed:

Can anyone politely tell me what time the FW State of Play is for me?

I live one time zone to the left of NYC time zone. Manners are very appreciated.

If they wanted to keep expectations in check, I'd argue that they shouldnt have raised them with that trailer last year.

This is back when Jim Ryan was going around telling everyone how he believed in generations. I wouldnt be surprised if they created that trailer using the PS5 specs.

Lets see if the water physics get downgraded as well. If the waves dont look like that you will know that the trailer was faked.

Dude, you are watching a compressed to hell video, far from the objects in gameplay, on an onrails camera. Can you save the crying until after we see the actual gameplay and how it holds up?
