Thank you.
Guess I'll save some money and cancel my preorder.
Depends on the game. If you want to have a sense of journey, I think a large map can help a lot with immersion, even if parts of the map are more like a backdrop than actually filled to the brim with content.
I thought the road trip vibe of FFXV was significantly hold back due to the rather puny map size and dissapointing locale variation, for example.
Point to me an example with as attrocius dialogue. I don't even care about the animation. Just point out one witcher 3 cutscene that has dialogue that is as horrible as what is being discussed. I still hold out hope for this game and hope people like it, but that dialogue was pure garbage.
So edgy.
Pathetic.

I know people will make a big deal about the lips, writing, voice and there will be other complaints about the game.
To me, I am just surprised a studio like GG has the visual issues at least. Not overly surprised on the other stuff but I thought their past work had decent writing/voice at least.
What changed exactly?

I didn't know that Far Cry, The Witcher and Zelda were so similar lol, since those are the games that keep getting compared to Horizon.
Unless the core loop changes dramatically at a mechanical level later on then I can look at everything we've seen so far and somewhat extrapolate from that. I said what I said precisely becaue I have gamed almost my entire life.
That's because they aren't, but you know how these things go on the internet lol.

In a weird way I sorta dig the PS2 level voice acting and animation in that cutscene on twitter. This game is gonna be the source of some amusement.
Also dang that map looks huge!!! We saw a Preroll youtube ad last night that had some stuff I hadn't seen before. Hard to believe this game is almost here.
EDIT: So wait is that video fake or real? Its the only working link in the thread atm.

Love how the watchers look at night. The lighting is beautiful.
Love that animation of how it tries to get away and still face her, too.
GOTY!!! What a game this will be!

Nah, you just making up shit to justify your bias. You don't know what the game entails, so your extrapolation means nothing.
I was referring to the tweet.

Eager to get my hands on it.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
I wouldn't call the writing in past Guerilla games decent. Or say that they're particularly well known for character animation moreso known for how much they push graphical fidelity. Which considering the cinematography of Horizon's cutscenes so far from these previews, they're at least consistent?

Deus Ex was a garbage game.

Should've asked Kojima for some help there.
Absolutely. Not saying the scene was great by any means. Most games, especially open world RPG's, tend to have a handful of these scenes that arent great.
No, but the majority of it was good. Even if the acting was a bit hammy, the content of the conversations and emotions expressed were believeable in the context of what was going on.
The writing in the cutscene everyone is talking about seems like fanfic stuff and the VA seems like people were just given the script without any context as to what was being discussed.

I just wanna act like Oliver Queen shooting everything with an arrow.

Its hopefully just the breadth and enormity of all the content. When its all bespoke like a Killzone campaign you can make everything custom and perfect. But for what is hopefully an enormous world with dozen/hundreds of interactable characters you get the puppet motions.
Which are kinda dope in a strange way.

I seriously cannot believe how good these visuals are. I honestly think it looks better than most non open world games. Crazy.

crazy enough - this vo is much better and even the 2011* engine being used looks on par with animations compared to what we seen today with Horizon. thanks for sharing.

Overall I think it is looking very cool. The cutscene in question does have terrible voice acting, the others seem fine for this type of game. No worse than Bioware game's really. In fact some of the conversation with the warrior in the village was pretty well done. I think one of the main problems with the facial animation is the eye tracking. The characters always seem to track each other. It looks good when they are looking straight at the other person, but when they look down their eyes go up and it doesn't look right.
I did find the cutscene in question hilarious though. They really should consider changing whoever did that voice performance haha.
Must shout the really impressive visuals, and the character models in particular. This is the best looking open world game in my opinion. Certainly, the character detail and geometry is more impressive than W3 for instance.
