Yeah I'm with you... the game looks great. I can see everything in the scene, and the point that it's night time has been conveyed.

Man those facial animations look JANK. They need to tag in Naughty Dog on this one.
Other than that I'm looking forwards to this game.

It will take 10 years to make all dialog scenes with ND standard.
actually it would look pretty cool if it was pitch black with only the glowing eyes of those mech creatures and the few torches lying around giving you any light source...
I know right? I'm gonna die alot just by looking constantly at the grass and not focusing on my surroundings.
True lol.

If ND ever going to make an rpg, their facial animation also wouldn't be as good as their uncharted games.
Pitch black and thunderjaw appears? lol

Pitch black, you see one red glowing light, thinking its a cute watcher, get close, more light turn on, it's actually giant thunderjaw.

I hope there are machines bigger and more powerful than a Thunderjaw. I mean, not as bosses and not the long neck machines

I'm not.
I think I just like stylized graphics and art styles over more realistic ones. Horizon looks good, it just doesn't have a flare to it. It's gameplay reminds me of a mix of Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed 3, mostly AC. AC's gameplay gets really old and boring to me after a while. That's just what it looks like, well see.

I read earlier that there wouldn't be any aero-mounts (which would also mean the 4chan rumor was spurious).

Some robo riding, some running, some "platforming" is what I expect with the occasional Zipline from the traversal in this game. Thankfully, it probably won't be an issue since everything seems pretty condensed.

I don't mean flying mount, just some more fun little thing like shield surfing, air gliding, make traveling from point A to point B more enjoyable.

This isn't BotW.
Have I missed the negative ones?
I have good news for you. BOTW has all of that.

I don't think there are any negative ones.

Not that I'm aware of. There's fast-travel if you want to get to places quickly, Broadheads to mount, ziplines, and running/swimming/mountain climbing.

Both day 1 for me.
I think something like grappling bow is feasible for Aloy, shoot and climb up to things or enemy could be fun.
Hope for Horizon 2 then.

Damn, haven't followed this game since the initial reveal, but it looks pretty meaty from a gameplay perspective.
I just feel like you have blinders on or something man. I mean, both games are stylized (in different ways, sure, but nonetheless). Horizon just looks SO MUCH BETTER. It would be hard for someone to say otherwise. You act like there is no art direction to Horizon.
Bear in mind, I don't think Zelda looks outright bad. And I LOVE the character models and the way they're shaded on Zelda.

I'm not trying to bring the game down. I think it looks absolutely amazing. I just disagree with the developer's choice to have such a bright night time setting. The mood and atmosphere would be much more interesting and intense if it was darker like FFXV:

The YT comments are so salty that I highly recommend avoid them if you suffer from hypertension.

I wouldn't want it THAT dark but I'd definitely love if it was at a midway point between what it is and FFXV in that gif.
I'm pretty sure Mathis de Jonge tweeted a BIG hint that you can hack the birdbot & fly over the map.
We can see short crocodile mechs fight here in th second ghostrobo video

Eurogamer Portugal reported that there would be no flying mounts or underwater exploration. I suppose they could be wrong, but that was part of their report on this event.

A little bit more Pro footage with a developer discussing Pro benefits and whatnot. Also a brief comparison to regular PS4.

Is it just me or does the jump animation look weird? I saw the EZA video and the normal jumping looks like how Spiderman would jump. Anyway, game looks gorgeous and I hope it kinda plays like Tomb Raider. I'm pretty sure I'll be playing this (either by borrowing someone's copy or buying it).

Just blame it on the earth atmosphere changing lol .
Still need to see how dense HZD map is and if i would like it so dark .
FFXV was rather empty so it never cause any problems .

This is sort of a consequence of not creating proper jump physics. If you try to Jump normally in Uncharted for example, you get a similar but slightly less awkward jump.

I kind of hate how she doesn't seem to put any strenght in drawing her bow back. It makes those arrows she shoots with perfect precision and distance a bit lame.

I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
As an exclusive, everything could be salty

This is where I got the information.
So it's the art director who denied aero-mounts and underwater traversal. It's possible he was lying as to not ruin the surprise, of course.
Ah well, bummer.

I think it's also the color choices and the contrast. Which is a welcoming change from Killzone where everything so gray and gloomy.
I sort of wish they polished their animations. It ruins the immersion for me. I hope this games does well.

Well, the game had to be designed with Hitscan weapons. Could you imagine trying to play this with Projectile weapons? And the combat is way too fast to make a slow Draw speed viable.
Also I never got a confirmation but is it possible to use gyro controls with this because I really don't want Strafe aiming to be a thing on higher difficulties where aim-assist is turned off.
