I think in general the unique really low point in Horizon is combat against humans because you do it quite often, other than that it doesn't seem to impact the game in any meaningful way (maybe the spear and melee variety).
I understand why they are implemented this way though, they probably wanted to make machines the star of the game, settle that for the first game. It could be something to be greatly improved in the next one.
I have never seen that confirmed anywhere. 'Day one' patch is already out and it's mere 250MB.

That's good because it's not out today. And the game is fine as is, the day one patch is already out too.

No.
And yet, for me it's the biggest reason I got excited for it.. hunting robot dinosaurs with a bow and arrow... that premise in itself was exciting to me (and it looked very monster hunterish at the reveal).

Wow, just got a chance to read through the review snippets. I'm so happy that Guerilla Games nailed it. And in my favorite genre, no less.
"Horizon Zero Dawn is Guerrilla Games' best effort, one of the PS4's greatest games, and the best game ever crafted from the ground up for the platform."
Got mine ordered. I won't be able to play it right away, but it sounds like a must-buy.

I still don't get the "this concept is too silly to take serious" thing.
These are video games.......

Can't imagine many saying something like that though. Maybe bros who only play sports games.

Silly or serious has everything to do with how the concept is handled, not the concept itself
Sci-fi is full of weird off-the-wall concepts played straight to great effect. It's all in the execution.
Makes me wonder how much sci-fi they read or watch. Post apocalypse setting where humanity has returned to simpler civilization among the mysterious ruins of the old is not some obscure concept

I don't. Mind sharing?
Man, I actually think the combination of cavemen/women and clearly futuristic robot dinosaurs is incredible and intriguing, not silly. If you look at 90% of games, the "concept" of the game can appear silly on paper.

You know I've seen you in many horizon threads going on about how horizon's concept is dumb. And everytime people respond to you the same way they're responding right now. Maybe it's time to take a hint and move on
Cool!I don't understand how this looks so good. A GAME IS NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK THIS GOOD.

A lot of stories that play with this concept do it in modern day or more futuristic settings
Assassins Creed, Homeworld, Halo, Mass Effect, Jak and Daxter all have variants of the same story as Horizon. The technology of an ancient more advanced civilization/race, that seems mystical/alien/light years ahead of the less advanced current civilization
If you can accept the Forerunners, the Progenitors, the Ones Who Came Before, The Precursors, then Horizon should be easy to grasp. We are the Ones Who Came Before in Horizon

I definitely did not have high expectations for this game so I'm pretty happy it looks nd sounds good, especially the story.
I just wish the human combat looked better because those hit reactuons are some serious dookie. Which is a shame excuse that was like the best part of Killzone 2.

There's always improvements for the sequel
Same here
Exactly
Basically they were limited to certain ssctions or premade footage to show in video reviews as far as I know. Monday is when people can start showing pretty much anything.
it doesn't, get over it

Thanks for that, hope the patches aren't too big.
Nioh had a rock solid 60 fps mode on PS4 Pro, and that mode still had better graphics than the 30fps mode on regular PS4. So it is very possible

Who do I go with in the hopes of getting it early... ShopTo or Simply Games?

Yeah but Nioh is a pretty modest game in terms of graphics.

Nioh(even tho I love u nioh great game) is not at all comparable to horizon graphics wise
Big open world game with fantastic graphics that runs at a very stable 30fps is already a tall order.

Nioh graphically is bottom tier stuff. That it drops below 1080p in action mode on Pro speaks volumes.
Sony usually sets 2 embargo's, when they're review embargo is so early. The first is for the reviews, and the second is for gameplay, so people can't post spoilers, and ruin some of the better parts of the game. It's partly for reviewers, but it's also for the YouTube letsplayers and people who makes guides, who Sony gives copies as well. This also allows reviewers the ability to stream, show off the first hour or whatever, etc.
What the reviewers show in their review is footage given by Sony, it's why reviews have similar footage captured, it's not what they captured.

You can even argue that Last of Us offered a look at how such civilization would start, with something like an ice cream truck seeming ridiculous to Ellie
A thousand years later? Even the most basic elements of everyday life would seem like fantasy

I'm playing Nioh right now. It's not a good looking game aside from the character models in cutscenes.
