Horizon Zero Dawn |OT| The Land After Time
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date

Resolution mode - 2160pc w/better resolution on textures and texture filtering quality
Performance mode - 1080p w/better resolution on textures and texture filtering quality
You basically get all the same improvements, with the only difference being the resolution which is kept at 1080p in performance mode in favour of a true locked 30fps at all times.

Sorry if this is a noob question. I'm new to the PS4 so I'm not sure how it works. I put in my DLC codes on the PSN website for my account and I've found the items on my PS4 as installed. How do I find the items in Horizon though? They're not in my inventory or anything. Thanks to anyone who can help.

When they catch on fire there's an HP drain type thing, they need to die with the HP drain.
Yep, beyond the insane visuals it is also one of the better playing games out there. No doubt about it. You usually don't get the total package, but this is one of those games that has it all. Including the plot, atmosphere in a world that breathes life and tells a story visually, fun content and great characters.

What's up with the ridiculous amount of collectable Audiologs and Texts in some of the missions.. kinda annoying, especially if you have 10 of those in 1 room, trying to listen to one of them while Aloy talks.

Stick it on hard, it's challenging, plus, you can change difficulty with no penalties at a later date if it's too much.
Very hard imo. GaMr is really easy only 6 hours in so far though.

I don't agree with that second post at all but it's better if you rent it and see for yourself. Horizon controls and plays very well and leaves TW3 in the dust in that aspect.
It looks sharper in-game too.
Resolution:
Performance:
They look very similar other than slightly more detailed environmental textures in the resolution mode.
Yep, not a big difference even in compressed shots. Disappointing.

Goddayum.
Played like 20 min with my son last night. My gosh the wizardry to make this look the way it does (on OG PS4 no less). Even my 10 year old was blown away and took note, I had to chuckle because it brought back memories of playing PS1 his age and thinking the same lol. When
he said "that's rude, what did she even do to them?", we were both already connected to Aloy as a character. Pretty good stuff.
little Aloy was ignored

The issue here is that the downsampled mode doesn't actually look better than the 1080p mode in a lot of instances, which is just plain weird.
I want to know as well
I took a screenshot at the same place. Really striking.
I think the DLC is handled as crates at a vendor. You have something in your inventory and the vendor will trade that DLC item for the actual item. Try at the first vendor.
You can always access it in the extras section of the main menu
Convinced two of my more casual friends (mostly play FIFA/Call of Duty) to jump on this game day one with me after a recent conversation about the next 'big' game, and it's been great talking to them and hearing their thoughts on it. To the surprise of no one, they are absolutely loving it.
Sure. Its Easy
You shot put it on the Hardest Difficulty level for LaughsIts Reasonably Challenging. Normal is probably a 7/10 degree of difficulty (Assasins Creed would be a 3 and Uncharted would be a 5)
Man that is casual, glad they're enjoying it.
I hope someone can answer this, but umm, when I scan an enemy (like one of the machines), there's an icon for a box and sometimes for an reticule below the name of the machine. How do I scroll between those, or is it tied to a skill or what? I've tried smashing all the buttons but nothing happens
Going to post for the new page.

They look pretty similar but on a 1080p TV, performance mode looks slightly better in my opinion due to being a bit sharper.
On the other hand, resolution mode is a bit more detailed.
BTW you can pause what seems to be unpausable cutscenes with X.
I remember someone complaining about it in another thread last week.
Yeah she's great. I adore her.

Well it depends on how you will want to play...in the first area,the Spear's skills makes the regular Scrappers and all super easy if you hide in bushes and do the silent strike,arrows are very weak at first so if you attack with arrows it's a little harder...if you want a challenge try hard I guess,you can change the difficulty anytime...
A quick example,I am playing on normal,was 2 levels over the suggested quest level and died the first time on the first Boss,so for me,normal should be fine and challenging.

Focus and tag.
Check the manual. At PS home screen go to the game and under the tile there is a digital manual for most games.
Yeah when it all pops up it reminds me of that parody Bloodborne screenshot that was going around a few years back, it's just too much stuff.
You have to aim at the body parts, you can't flick between the segments.

Ah I thought this might be the case. Will have to remember the item names and see if they're with the vendor.
Oh. Well fuck me. I've been a real ignoramus.
completed the main quest
Isn't it fucking great?
I love this lore, this story, this world.
I DEMAND A SEQUEL AND A FRANCHISE GG!
Agreed, but I still find myself using everything the UI offers. I just have it dynamic.

Stuff of nightmares
I really need to customize the UI.
I set it to dynamic HUD. But then permanently disabled the quest tracking so it doesn't even pop-up upon completion of a quest.
Looks great to have the screen be empty 90% of the time.
Dynamic UI for the win
Tell me about it, but it just makes their impressions all the more refreshing. I'm really glad this game turned out so well, and I'm sure the sales are going to reflect that.
I am playing it on very hard atm with no problems so I would recommend that. You could always change it later.
Thwacking animals to death in one hit never gets old
*THUD* "SCREEGH"
Hilarious how much that does look like Horizon's HUD.
I turned the EXP bar and the item notifications completely off, everything else to dynamic. Made a huge difference.
