More so the fact that the environment isn't entirely static and offers a decent level of destructibility.

Minecraft already did it.
I suppose it's because it's been known since the reveal. Structures (like houses) trees even large rock formations and boulders are all destructible to some degree
Not minecraft too!! Is there any game that has not been plagiarized by HZD...

Gameplay wise Knocking down trees in particular doesn't seem too impactful, but it does add a lot of atmosphere. I was much more impressed when the corrupter destroyed the house (in fact I recall praising the details in how the wood splinters apart) in the E3 2016 sequence or when the Thunderjaw destroyed some cover in a sequence.

I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
No,minecraft tree is anti-physical

3 more weeks until GOTY
I'm staying away from most discussion from now on. I'm gonna be so pissed if I get spoiled.
This stuff looks so smooth.

Sounds RPG enough.
I'm going digital. Part of me always wants to sell a game once I've completed it, but then I doubt myself and think I'll want to play it again. Digital means I'll always have it lol

Does anyone else find voice acting extremely bland and mediocre?
Seems pretty normal to me.

You mean like all RPGs have?

Some bland, some ok, some good.
Primal looking human speak modern English feel weird, make sense for the world.

Yep, They should put Japanese voices on EU copies.
I feel like Zelda is going to get a free pass in reviews like a lot of Nintendo games seem to do in certain areas. I wonder if Horizon is going to be treated like it needs to be the coming of god to gain 8s and 9s. Sony exclusives are often put through the wringer like no other.
Well not this gen, i think . On the other hand , microsoft exclusives are getting low score from the reviewers!
I guess its because ite been known for sometime already
Even some houses are destructible (as seen on the E3 2016 gameplay)
Honestly, Micro hasn't really brought any innovation to the table atm past Horizon. I jut don't see Gears and Halo being much more than shooters, and BF1 has that all covered for people like me. On the other hand Nintendo can be graded hard sometimes, but even crappy Nintendo games get 6s or 7s where if Sony mode them they would get 5s.
1. Citation needed. Generally Nintendo puts out quality titles, so you'll always get an 8/10 or more
2. What has this got to do with Horizon and why have you dedicated three posts in a row to it?

From the preview thread:
Going to be some nice vids focusing on specific machines. Should be starting today throughout the week.

I didn't realise it had this level of destructibility - that's great! Having the environment matter and not just being set-dressing adds a lot to the feel an immersiveness of the game IMO.
I did see the E3 2016 gameplay demo where the 'demon' machine smashes the house, but I don't think I paid attention to the fact trees can be knocked down as well.
Honestly, Horizon looks good but you're sounding a bit insecure. Obviously Sony is your favourite and that's fine, but there's no need to dump on other hardware manufacturers to facilitate your preference.

Those trees aren't just set dressing.
Combat looks great, but I think a stamina meter would have made it even better and more strategic. Now you can seemingly dodge roll forever.
But that was yesterday, no? maybe its some standard time issue ,will wait for today.
Nah not every game needs that.

Ugh no. I'm so sick of stamina bars
If you look closely, the thunder jaw actually bumped his head and reeled back. I don't think we knew that could happen.
Look at this gif
Machines bumping into each other:
Alright, that's fine.
That's a nice touch and I wonder if it can be exploited somehow.

Jup, tock, what, dont give a s*** i charge trough it. I think thats also the most appealing part of the game. The AI seems to be solid.

Hm at the beginning and at the End of this gif you see the corruption coming out of the ground. What is this? Spawn Point, like Monster Nests?
Sorry for DP
Nah it something that damages you so you have to avoid it during the fights.

What happens if you use the rope caster thingy to tie them together?

I saw this, and she climbed a pretty tall hill. Hopefully translates to the other tall landmarks too. The visuals are insanely gorgeous, the red dusk is so surreal.
In all fairness, he is not *that* wrong about Zelda reviews. I love Skyward Sword, but 93 on Metacritic? Really? Then again, you could probably argue the same about other gaming series. Maybe it's just the nature of game reviews.

Yep, Horizon review copies have been sent out, confirmed by shinobi to me on twitter.

Ooooo baby!! Lets get ready to do this

Not every game, no. But I wouldn't mind it in a combat heavy RPG as it adds an extra layer to combat. Perhaps I'll eat my words after I've played it though.
