Horizon: Forbidden West went GOLD

Honestly guys, since this is a base PS4 game upgraded for the PRO and PS5, there is no way the 60 FPS mode on PS5 won't still look great.
Yeah, after seeing the ps4 version i'm sure that performance mode is gonna look pretty good.

Oh noo, they're using the same animation from the previous game!!!

Here's the wiser comment




Of course there are some exception where animation are rebuilt and not used like in Rockstar games, but at the same time those guys release one game each 10 years...
 
Re-use of animations is only bad when you use them for many many games and they all feel samey after a while, gears of war being probably the worst offender ever to me since i always feel like i'm playing with gears 1 with upgraded graphic.

I think the only game that get away with heavy animation re-use is probably monster hunter series, while stuff like yakuza get harshly criticized for example.

Yes. The ps4 version gives you the free upgrade option for the ps5 version. This is the last sony game that will allow that.
But if you want the Digital Deluxe version, you are screwed. They add the $10 upcharge to that.
So, if you only have the PS4, you are paying $20 more versus only $10 for the PS5 one.
 
Why would you want Digital Nonsense version, if you are price sensitive?
I'm just stating the fact. I am sure you would agree that a PS4/PS4 Pro owner that is a fan of Horizon, might want to get some pre-order bonuses or exclusives.
$10 is much easier to swallow than $20 especially for the exact same thing.
They should have priced the game at $59 but they are adamant on trying to raise the price of games to $69.

I don't see any value in Digital Nonsense version, so...

Hmm..

They are probably talking about the light rig that follows Aloy around everywhere. That's probably costly because you have to access the lights every single frame whereas before you only had to access the global sun light instead. So basically the PS5 has enough bandwidth to evaluate the local light rig on Aloy, the Sun and any other local light sources around like torches.

I, personally would rather have the full Sun be the entire light source needed for all objects including Aloy's character. She just needs more global ambient occlusion self-shadowing to make her "pop" in the scene but I guess this local light rig will give them the shadows and "pop" for the shaders they need for Aloy.

Neither do I, I'll just buy the ps4 version two days in advance to get those pre order bonus, other than that, I don't care.

Lordy, I didn't realize there was pre-order stuff. I really want the Digital Deluxe edition but not for £20 more. So it'll be PS4 version for me with the free upgrade. Then I'll get the "Complete" edition when it comes to PC at some point.
 
The last few days are going to stretch like NY Pizza Cheese.
Gee I thought I'd be over this "can't wait for my text toy" feeling at 37....
