hmm yup never mind i must be wrong it's a halo box only just for FPS players

/Sarcasm

D4, Gigantic, Dead Rising, Record, Ryse were below average. Halo 5 and Gears haven't reviewed as well as Uncharted 4.

Peoples aren't listing games like Tales of Berseria, Killzone Shadowfall, inFamous Second Son and The Order to make a point.

People are listing games like Bloodborne, Persona 5, Nioh, Horizon to state that Sony are releasing not only more exclusives bit higher reviewed exclusives.

 

[Papacheeks]

Best part is, it's only coming to PS4 this year, so brace yourself for full PS4 sauce (+Pro Patch)

Have they given last years a Pro patch?

Or does Boost mode do anything to it?

Indeed this year is off to a roaring start for Sony, but thought I should point out that Ace Combat 7 has been confirmed for PC/XB1: http://au.ign.com/articles/2017/01/26/former-ps4-exclusive-ace-combat-7-coming-to-xbox-one-and-pc

Edit: looks like I was beaten on Ace Combat. Very happy for it to be multiplat so more people can play!

Stop, your only throwing wood to the fire.

 

[Strakt]

The bulk, mass-market AAA core player doesn't care about that.

This is just an example, but Overwatch. The MAJORITY of the 25 million players that play are on PC. A console will never negate the need for a PC especially for competitive games.

 

[Kuro]

Holy shit I come back to this thread and suddenly list wars in 2017.

 

[Maintenance]

Don't carre about those lists, FFXII is coming and that's enough for me.

 

[timlot]

Surprise, surprise this has become a console war thread.

I'm not surprised. Xbox or XB1 has already been mentioned over 60 times in a thread about Horizon reviews. We all know PS4 has more exclusives, but it seems some just need to reinforce the point regardless of the OP.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

What's interesting is not whether one is ahead of the other, imo, it's that the differences are so small in comparison to the glory days of the PS2. Being ahead by a handful of key games is all that the clear market leader can manage in the era of homogenous "everything on every system" gaming.

I pretty much disagree. I'd say there's a lot more than a handful of games right now.

I've removed the remasters even the Crash remake. And the lineup is still insane. For me personally Horizon and Uncharted Lost Legacy and Persona 5 make the year. Also note I haven't included super niche games like Tales of Berseria or indie exclusives

 

[Elandyll]

Detroit later this year, Days Gone for March next year, and God of War for late 2018. Spiderman... I don't see it coming before 2019, same for DS and TLoU2.

Edit : Holy moly it's true, Gran Turismo Sport...

God of War playable start to finish as of Dec 2016 and you think it'll be pushed to late 2018?

Imo GoW and Dreams this year, with GTS, Days Gone and Detroit next year, alongside Spiderman. Wild is the big unknown, but guessing 2019 with TLOU2 and SP new IP.

None of the titles listed here hold a candle to Sony's exclusive catalogue, at least from category-defining, industry-shifting standpoint. That is what Microsoft needs to find.

 

[SgtCobra]

List Warz time!!!

 

[The Artisan]

isn't this what the moderators call "list wars"

 

[Agram]

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Maybe I should've read the start of this conversation are we listing games because of excitement of what's next for PlayStation or WAs it a list war thing if the latter im ashamed I contributed

 

[Always-honest]

Oh, yeah... well,.. I just came here to say that i'm so happy that this game seems to be an instant classic. Can't wait to play it.

 

[atr0cious]

Much better than people getting mad over dissenting opinions and then discrediting them for not being in line with their point of view. Trump would be proud.

What is the point of this? You are only highlighting the differences between the two.

Yeah absolutely but I'm talking about the bulk of the core gamer market; those that primarily consume the CODs and the Maddens, for example. Plenty of console gamers (I'd wager the vast majority, actually) don't game on PCs.

A lot of people say that XPA makes the Xbox redundant. But I think a lot of people choose not to play games on their PC full-time because they like playing on their console. So for those people, it's i) just an added convenience for the times they do, and ii) helps Microsoft push Windows 10 hardware.

edit: hadn't appreciated how much this thread is veering off course, so I'll conclude with that!

 

[Pit]

Cut this shit out. List wars just get threads locked. Plus the discussion goes around endlessly.

 

[Krakin]

People are complaining about listing remasters on Sony's side but I guess listing a moba for MS is fine lol

Sorry for off topic let's get back to the reviews discussion

Yea for sure but it doesn't negate anything

Anyways, cant wait for horizon!

[jmaine_ph]

When can we expect the review from EDGE?

 

[Tyraniboah]

How often do review threads get locked?

Either way, let's all just be happy that Horizon is headed for a lot of success. I questioned GG after only enjoying Killzone 2, but making something new for them clearly paid off. If I had the money I'd certainly be getting this tonight

 

[Wagram]

Good ol' list wars.

 

[get2sammyb]

Genuinely thought I'd clicked on the wrong thread when I saw the first few posts at the top of the page. Back on topic, I'm still quite amazed at how well this game has reviewed.

 

[pixellated_man]

http://www.vg247.com/2017/02/20/hor...had-a-baby-and-it-deserves-to-win-your-heart/

Horizon Zero Dawn is going to make other open-world developers sick with envy.

It is The Witcher 3 of post-post-apocalyptic robo-dino adventures; it is the sort of thing Ubisoft will wish you had never seen if it dares to release another time-sucking, glitch-filled Assassin’s Creed.

This is very probably the most flawless open world game ever made.

Hype.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

A message for the mods on what happened in these last to pages.

 

[sono]

Wow, amazing scores.

Congratulations Guerilla and Sony!

 

[KAL2006]

So looking at the reviews this game is like a mix of Far Cry 4 and The Witcher 3. Is that the best way to describe this. The 3 things that excite me is the immersive world to explore, the lore and story and the looting/gaining XP

I'm glad that I cancelled my Switch order few weeks back, this just reafirms my decision, not that I'm not excited for Zelda bit just don't have the time to play 2 huge open world action RPGs.

 

[Strimei]

Guess I'm getting the game after all, hah.

 

[Papacheeks]

Hope they make a sequel with Aloy.

Would they have a separate team to be able to have them work on Killzone with what they learned from this game?

Feel like a open world style third person killzone game with tactics could be really cool in the killzone universe especially if they take it to other planets with alien life.

or after this game being a success which I'm certain it will, are they done with that for a while and concentrating on this series if it does continue?

 

[pixellated_man]

People forget that execution is probably the most important thing in games, in any media or enterainment form.

That's why, on paper, The Last of Us is generic as hell, but when you play it, you know it's damn special.

That vg247 review quote a couple of posts back say's as much.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Guess I'm getting the game after all, hah.

Give in to your desires to ride a robot dino

 

[FF Seraphim]

GG has two divisions right? Or did they go all in with Horizon?

 

[More_Badass]

Hey, look, reviews

http://mashable.com/2017/02/20/horizon-zero-dawn-review/#muA79SEuK5qm

Game over. I sigh and reload. The world of Horizon: Zero Dawn is many things, but chief among those: it is unpredictable.

This is a game of moments. The kind, like the above Thunderjaw anecdote — a thing that really did happen during my 32-hour journey — that are unique to your experience and, as such, stick with you. Plenty of open world games describe themselves as a "sandbox," but Horizon forces you to get dirty.

http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/horizon-zero-dawn-review-release-date-ps4

This is not hyperbole: Horizon Zero Dawn, the new post-apocalyptic adventure from developer Guerrilla Games, is one of the most beautiful games ever made. With lush forests, frosty slopes, barren desert plains, vast skies, vivid colours and dynamic weather systems, Horizon’s sprawling open world is a technical marvel. If you’re lucky enough to be playing on a PS4 Pro with a 4K HDR-enabled TV, like we have been, then you’re in for an unforgettable treat. It's simply breathtaking.

 

[Loudninja]

While I have 42 hours of playtime clocked into Horizon: Zero Dawn, it feels as though the surface has barely been scratched. Similarly to my saved game in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, there are dozens of quests that I have yet to complete outside of the main storyline, each with their own unique characters and backstories. These quests range from finding lost members of a tribe to uncovering a complicated mystery behind the machines. Not once did I find any of the sidequests to be dull or repetitive. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for other games such as Mafia III and Final Fantasy XV—both which contain mind-numbing fetch quests. It’s always a pleasant surprise to find developers such as Guerrilla Games putting effort into designing fresh and original side-content

.

To simply put it, there is a certain appeal to Horizon: Zero Dawn which I have not found in any other open-world RPG game. Perhaps it is the addition of shiny robots to the mix or the story of Aloy herself. Either way, this game has my full attention and I wouldn't call it anything less than stellar. If I had to compare it to another game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Shadow of Mordor would be on the top of my list. When compared to these two titles, Horizon is riddled with less bugs, more engaging combat, and successfully incorporates stealth gameplay. Try and guess what I’ll be playing for the next few weeks.
