It's not even a maybe, both games look amazing on consoles. Lmfao Horizon is not the first next gen looking game. XD

Horizon Zero Dawn is in a different league, in my humble opinion :p

I hope one day we will bring up Horizon when people talk about WRPG combat like we keep bringing up Witcher 3 for writing in this thread.
Expect too much?

As in that the Witcher 3 is a hallmark of good combat? Because it isn't. W3 combat is terrible.

Dragon's Dogma is the undeniable king of open-world WRPG combat. None have topped it.

It needs to be RPG enough for the detractors ,and be good enough as a whole package.

MGSV's excellent gunplay, controls and deep sandbox is never brought up whenever discussing that game in the context of comparing open-worlds, because people prefer to shit on barren world, Chapter 3 and lolstory.

Nobody brings up Dragon's Dogma because not enough people has played it to see the light.

Ayyyyy lol perfect timing
 
In the Zelda thread someone was saying Zelda's open world was better since there was cool stuff in the distance you'd want to explore. Don't want to bring that shit in here, but it's nice to see Horizon has some interesting landmarks as well.

I'm sure there's a lot to discover in both games.

I think someone said that's a rollercoaster...or at least it used to be

Yeah it could be.

You beat me to it, especially after the Zelda comparison thread where that one guy pointed out that something very similar in the distance was somehow to be interpreted of Zelda having a vastly more interesting world.

Yeah I don't agree with that. I think Horizon has a better chance of being more interesting.

The best draw distance with actual content i have seen in a game on a console as a exclusive from a first party.
 
I just realized that Zelda and Horizon kinda have similar story premise, shit happened in the past, time skip forward to present and the main character go explore the open world and along the way will learn what happened during the time skip (a couple year in Zelda, a few centuries in Horizon)

Again not denying that Horizon looks great, however, it looking great doesn't erase the amazing looking open world games we've had this gen.

Link wakes up at least 100 years later in Zelda.

wait 100 years later? then how come Zelda is still alive by then? I haven't followed any botw story news.
 

ah so that's were the shit spilled over here in that zeldavshorizon thread, the last two pages were horrible

What are cauldrons?
Can UI be customised?
Why does health regen sometimes?

like dungeons places with harder enemies, some platforming, more info on what happened and how it happened to the world, special gear or abilities. (cauldrons have been kept under wraps for these previews)

yes, normal, dynamic or custom options

from what ive seen, your health regenerares up to 33% of your max health. now i understand you can take or pick up some stuff to boost your health (green bar below your health bar) and potions to heal yourself

And on top of that it runs at 2160c on PS4 Pro, which few games have been able to achieve so far.

I really hope more devs get better with the technique to hit that, especially since it seems to run smoothly.

*fist bump*

Dragon's Dogma will remain the king until we get Dragon's Dogma 2.
Capcom pls.

MGSV will also probably hold the crown for best stealth game for a long time IMO. Until Ubi steps up and gives us a SC sequel and even then, it's iffy.

Here's a new gif I created:

this looks like one of the best new IP's I have ever seen this and even past generation. The scale and volume of the game looks great and it all seems so fresh whilst taking small aspects from other games as well.
 
Said it when the first trailer came out this is the game that puts Guerilla Games really on the map. No offence to the amazing Killzone franchise.

yep this is not as a diss towards the comapny or anything while I like Killzone, when I look at this I would never have guessed it was Guerilla Games that made this game

Well only GG does scfi and mech art like this so it would be easy if you follow there games.

Yep, although unfortunately there hasn't been a game yet that has been a good balance in terms of quality with all aspects of these kinds of games up until this point. Dragon's Dogma did some things better than anyone else, and many things that were mediocre. The Witcher 3 ended up doing more things right, and better than in Dragon's Dogma, yet failed miserably at the most important part: gameplay (specifically combat and skill trees since that was over 75% of the "gameplay" for those who want to argue gameplay is more than just combat).

totally not just art more in the direction of being open world, a competitor for other open world games and nailing the overall vibe of the world with stellar set peices, animation etc

EDIT: In all honesty people stop turning this into a FFXV vs Witcher 3 vs Horizon thread. All the games already compared and listed have their unique aspects that make them special and so does this. Who gives a shit `well witcher 3 has better combat etc. Enjoy the preview videos and talk about the game

It's probably an upgrade but you can have multiple pouches/bars of herbs indicated by the + and bar refill.
