Horizon: Zero Dawn Trailer (Guerrilla, post-apocalyptic pre-historic adventure)

firelogic said:
Damn. So much negativity already for a game in pre-alpha. Everyone around here has been circle-jerking over The Witcher 3. That game is purely a single player experience. Did that get as many complaints as Horizon is?

Gamers today are just so annoying. Or maybe they've always been that way but now they have a voice.

"No MP? No buy."
"No co-op? No buy."
"Can't change gender? No buy."
"New IP? No buy."
"No dual audio? No buy."
"No physical disc? No buy."
"No custom soundtrack? No buy."
"Has optional DLC? No buy."


This is why we have 100 Assassin's Creed games. This is why we get generic FPSs. This is why we get generic everything. It's the gamer's fault.

To be fair, that's a real deal breaker. I'm not talking about forcing studios to make a dub version, I'm talking about them not including the original simply because they fucked up the licensing or are lazy. I will not stand for that and will vote with my dollars.

The other points need to be considered on a game by game basis.
 
Focus groups feel like complete overkill imo. Since when has there ever been a backlash for games having a female protagonist especially in a story driven IP? I'm being serious here. Jade, Faith, Lara, Samus, Nariko? None of this makes any sense.

Sounds so good, like an adult version of Monster Hunter.

I'm betting it'll be more like Xenoblade meets Witcher 3.

Xenoblade in that we'll have robot herds spread across large map areas with select high powered robots sprinkled in throughout, Witcher 3 in that the game will have a similar enemy loot = crafting gear setup and a very similar quest structure.

You basically said Monster Hunter is a kid's game :P

Anyways, hopefully Horizon doesn't have the padding from the Monster Hunter series. By padding I refer to having to gather stuff herbs, mushrooms, spider webs, etc etc to combine into essential items you need in practically every hunt.

I think he meant a Monster Hunter free of technical limits. I would expect a MonHun on PS4 to not have loading sections between areas for example.

I even like the padding in MonHun. It makes you feel like you're really a hunter, gathering all those mats you need to be successful (but also letting you use money for most of them if you don't feel like getting them)

I think it'll be much more streamlined in this game, but anyhow, it keeps sounding better and better to me.
 
I really like the premise of the game and visually it looked stunning in terms of the scale and art style.

I can't wait to see more :D I'm also glad to see a new IP coming out designed for new-gen hardware.
 
Wait, people are complaining that this isn't multiplayer? Seriously? Are they the same people who complained that Driveclub wasn't open world?

Please keep multiplayer away from this beautiful looking game, GG.
 
Very impressed with the new information. These gametrailers guys really have me thinking what the story could be like. Seems like they have the premise for a really excellent story here, but gameplay the synopsis; the variety of weapons, creature attacks and crafting has me really excited. It was my game of the show, but these extra details are really refreshing.
 
This thread reminds me of the people who were disappointed that the main character in San Andreas was black.
Being unable to play as a character that's a different gender or race from yourself baffles me.

Can't believe the dinosaurs roam around the world dynamically battling other tribes, and keeping the damage they take on lol. In the behind the closed door demo, apparently the Thunderjaw they came across was already at half health, and had arrows etc stuck in it from a previous dynamic battle with some other random tribe. Very cool. Also cool the way you can goad the smaller dinosaurs in to your traps, and that they have mini alpha males that defend the herd etc.

Ok, this sounds amazing.

Been quiet about this, But seriously? Naughty Dog makes amazing, chart topping, cutting edge games time and time again while GG have fumbled time and time again with Killzone.

Some of you people are completely delusional.

In terms of technical chops GG and ND are both the top tier of Sony's studios. Gameplay and story is a different matter entirely.
 
Super excited for this =D
Hopefully will huge variety in terms of robo-animals (esp robo dinos), and also satisfying combat + progression system and a great story + supporting characters

I'm realizing there is serious contingent of males that don't like playing games as females. I guess that is why we get so few as leads.

sadly these people are the ones that the western industry chooses to cater to and it's very unfortunate

99 percent of the time no dual audio is a result of companies straight up refusing to license out the voices, there's absolutely nothing that the localization company can do about that, but hey if you wanna "vote with your dollars" and punish a company for something they can't control, you go right ahead, but don't call a company lazy just because you don't know how these things work

If this game is successful, they should make a monster-hunter multiplayer MMO type game in the next sequel.

Imagine clans from different factions (like WoW) warring against each other and trying to bring down mecha-dinosaurs as a team? Would be sick.

God..... no!
Worst thing that could happen....
 
Crafting will play a major role in Horizon, utilizing the scrap materials collected from felled robo-beasts, such as “metal scrap” and “flame coil,” as well as herbs that can be gathered for healing.

so this should relieve concerns about auto-healing. Everything about this sounds amazing so far.

Yup and I'm one of them. Nothing against females. I love them and respect them. I have the best girlfriend in the world and I treat her like a princess. But playing as one in a video game I cannot.

I just cannot enjoy it and immerse my self into the world. As with most high testosterone males we want to come home from a long day at work and put on a video game and feel empowered for a short while. I just cant do that when playing as chick with big tits and vagina.

only exception is Ellie from Last of US. and I have no idea why it didn't bother me with her.

I realize I'm going to get a lot of hate for his post and probably get banned from GAF but just wanted to be honest.

Yes, who could feel powerful if you have to play as a weak woman who is clearly beneath us males. Really dude? =|

He has to get locked into the Kratos avatar. That's the cherry on top of the cake lol
 
This looks so awesome. I really hope this isn't this year's Watchdogs. It's not like Guerrilla is known for making great games. I hope this is the one that really puts them on the map, I want this so much!

Read my post again. I don't disagree. I clearly said either fuck up the licensing or they're lazy. I'm sure the first is more likely, but the only way they (and by they I mean the original creators, not the publishers doing the localization) are going to learn is if they're products fail overseas, I'm ok with that.
 
The more I read and watch about this game, the more interested I get. So nice to see a talented studio like GG get to make a game full of colour after all of the the Killzone games.
 
I can already envision a mission where you have to fight these flying mechanical dinos and you use these plate-headed monsters as platforms/landing points during the fight. Please happen.
 
I'm glad there's no MP.

Let GG do their thing crafting this universe and introducing this game and its mechanics first before considering an MP. All that would go now is bloat the development. I'd take a richer more fine tuned game right now, maybe consider an MP in a sequel, but for now there are plenty of other MP games to fill that void.

Really hope this turns out good and is a huge success.

What?

Killzone 2 was great.

It was some time ago, but I don't think they've made particularly bad games either.

This can easily be good, this game seems like something they've envisioned for a long time.

I think that could be the Ghost Recon game, not this one.

Reminded me of the AWACS discs on military planes.

That too. Get the feeling another more high-tech tribe controls them, using the giraffe ones to either gather energy or monitor the areas with radar, the ones with the green sludge containers harvesting chlorophyll, the snake type ones are sentries, and the big ones are for protection.
