March is just crazy for me. I don't know if I can afford it all. Switch, Zelda, Horizon and Nier are definite must owns. It's looking like Mass Effect and South Park will be casualties of war. But when am I going to find the time? My social life will become a casualty in March too, by the look of it.
Horizon Zero Dawn : wednesday
Breath of the Wild + Switch : Friday
I'm afraid Horizon will struggle... Should Sony change the release date if the game si gold ?
I think they both cater to different audiences. I have very little interest in Horizon (looks like a typical shallow AAA game to me) whereas Zelda's hype is through the roof for me. I don't think there's much overlap to be honest. It'll sell millions.
How?
If anything, Zelda is the more derivative game by virtue of the fact that it is yet another entry in the Zelda franchise.
If it helps ease the pressure off, I dont believe the fractured but whole to have a date right now, and I'm not sure they'd announce one for March with such little time til then. I suppose the game probably won't need a big ram up in marketing.
It's a well respected series that is pushing into a whole new genre and looking to reinvent the way open world games are made (gameplay/physics based) vs an open world RPG inspired by apocalypse tropes from a developer of mediocre to good FPS games who is making a non shooter for the first time.How?

Zelda reinventing open woprld games? hahahah
I'm sure the dungeons will have so cool gameplay segments. But the overworld aspect of the new Zelda hasn't been anything special at all.
Maybe for people who are new to the open world games
BotW is adding a level of environmental interactivity that most open world games dont even dare to approach. Between physics based mechanics where you can move objects around and make mechanical machines out of them, manipulating wind and fire to burn down enemies, freezing whole sections of water to neutralize enemies or sold puzzles.Pushing into a whole new genre and reinventing the way open world games are made?
It looks like Zelda Far Cry. Maybe there's features I'm unaware of in the new Zelda?
What new ideas is it bringing to the table?
The physics systems are unlike any other game I'm familiar with.

Then show me games with this level of interactivity. Because so far Horizon looks like a shallow version of Monster Hunter set in an open world.Zelda reinventing open world games? hahahah

Maybe for people who are new to the open world games. Physics in open world gaming? The reinvention!!
For example if you attempt to use a bomb arrow while it's raining it will not go off and function as a normal arrow. However if you stand under the cover of a tree and light the fuse, it will function properly.How so?
An idea isn't innovative until Nintendo implements it 10 years later, obviously.

It's easy to be hyped more by one over the other.

You can't make statements like that without counterpoints.I'm not saying Horizon is reinventing the gameplay wheel.
Zelda/Nintendo fans are really funny.

Yeah you are a trollYou can't make statements like that without counterpoints.
I could easily say Sony fanboys think their games are more sophisticated becaue omg graphics, but I'll provide a counterpoint and say something like: graphics doesn't make a game sophisticated because even Super Mario World has more depth than Uncharted 4.

Most open world games are a giant world that collectibles and monsters are placed in for you to interact with, but Zelda is pushing for a massive open world that is a gameplay set piece in an of itself.
And here we go we get to the true meaning of the thread fanboy warsYou can't make statements like that without counterpoints.

That looks in what way? Where? I don't get it?

You can argue semantics if you like, but Zelda is taking an approach to an open world that this objectively different from other open world games.I'm not saying Horizon is reinventing the gameplay wheel.
Zelda/Nintendo fans are really funny. Take off your nostalgia goggles please. New Zelda looks amazing. But it isn't reinventing anything.
Setting wise? Sure.Yeah, I don't get that either. Horizon looks much more original than Zelda tbh
Lol
Show me one mh gameplay that looks better than aloy vs thunderjam.
I'll wait
