Everything in this game is looking fantastic....except for the human combat. Hope the human combatants get harder in later levels and that they aren't so brain-dead throughout.

Luckily the robot fights pretty much all look great, and will probably make up a bulk of the combat encounters.

Horns and liquid color are different from regular deer robots. Higher level ones I guess.

Wait, there's human combat in this game. Which video has the footage?

Horns and liquid color are different from regular deer robots. Higher level ones I guess.

Seems to differ by location e.g. these have drills atop their horns seemingly to dig into the ice and rock and gather ice resources. The other ones had twisting blade like apparatus seemingly to process the more organic resources (plants) they harvested into the green liquid (which is referred to as "blaze") if i'm not mistaken.

Clearly a lot of effort has been put into trying to make things "make sense" to a certain degree

GhostRobo has been putting out quality Horizon videos.

The man deserves some respeck!

Yeah he really sold me on the combat.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

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?

I hope it can at least be a good example of good combat in WRPGs.

Btw, no super bowl ad?

I think they'll have something during the show.

Dios Mio. Looks incredible!

Absolutely.

Where is this gameplay from?

it's amazing to see how far games have come, I don't think anyone expected when Sony announced the PS4 specs that open world games could look like that.

Yeah I never thought we'd get open world games looking as good as they currently do.

God damn.

That's right!

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.

Horizon multiples the greatness

 

[Shredderi]

I love how the game has pretty good textures even though it's an open world game.

The human AI in that video seems in ultra easy. They hardly move or attack you. You can take a coffee and still kill them with your bow.

Wow the human combat looks terrible.

If a large part of the game is human combat, the game's definitely gonna get trashed by critics.

It would have been trashed in previews if that was the case.

Lately previews use to be way more positive than final reviews.

I don't think so. Especially not "way more".

The takedowns are brutal as well, such a fine animation they have.

This one is new to me. Looks cool.

Is it raining in that gif, if so that overcast sky looks awesome.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

For a USK12 game, it certainly is 'brutal'.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Yeah its raining earlier in the video it also lightly snows.

I'm afraid to watch the videos to avoid spoliers, i hope it has thunderstorms. I love games with lightning and thunder and shit it looks so awesome.

 

[FATALITY]

I'm just happy with the outcome of this thread.
This game looks good. Guerrilla did great.

 

[Dinda]

It did get a 12? USK is doing a good job lately.

Off Topic: I just saw that Dead Rising 4 did get a rating in Germany? USK 18 without cuts. I think that is the first DR game releasing in Germany.
Quick everyone put in your games for ratings they are in a good mood!

 

[Ridesh]

I'm liking almost everything but the human combat and stealth are quite bad.

 

[MegaSackman]

In one of the previews they said that they had a functional system that allowed thunders to hit enemies and you while playing but they felt it was a little unfair so they botched it. I asume there will be regular thunders though.

Sony and the obsession with mass murderer, Nate, Kat now Aloy.
Internal studio try to one up each other I see.

Nevermind the combat, the part where the sun breaks through the clouds looks stunning.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Some of the previews mentioned the human AI, in the outposts that you can take over, wasn't the best but it didn't stop the previews from being positive, so it's probably just a minor issue that doesn't do enough to take away from overall experience.

Maybe if the game has a higher difficulty setting, that may improve but the dino AI seems more than fine and I think they will be the main enemy, throughout most of the game anyway.

Think that's the nature of any game with combat in it really.

 

[silva1991]

Stealth segments in non stealth game. I think it's doing a decent job at that. It's not below stealth in Uncharted 4 that's for sure.

Why Sony? Last time I looked, Gears of War and Halo on Xbox have plenty of killing and so do loads of 3rd party multi-platform games too (Lara Croft is a mass murderer in the TR reboot), it's really not a Sony exclusive thing.

Does Kratos not count cuz he's not likable enough lol. I also vividly remember sucking the life out of a bunch of people as Delsin.

Its a game based around combat. I'm not sure what you're expecting. There are several RPG's that don't focus on tons of killing or violence but they are often story heavy and focused affairs.

I don't think he is being serious dude.

Hermen, CNET video interview(stuff you already know) very general

[vivekTO]

And its start raining,
nice drip effects

Regarding the video, The human combat and stealth in itself is great as you can see by the takedowns and mellee kills, the only issue i have seen is the dumb AI which might be cause they are playing at easy difficulty cause its a media preview and can be rectified with increase in difficulty.

Also most of the combat is focused on 25 unique machines, and by the previews there AI is Ace.

 

[Domcorleone]

Yes human combat is the most import aspect of the game which is why theyve showed dino combat this whole time. A game about giant robot dinosaurs is going to have human combat be a large component of the game.

 

[wapplew]

Any option to turn off blue cable visual on override robo? It ruined the beautiful desgin.

 

[backbreaker65]

I like the melee attacks, they seem grounded and not trying to be a martial artists. It makes for a more believable character in my opinion. She doesn't need "Ninja Gaiden" type of attacks, the primitive attacks for Close Quarters is just fine.
