Horizon Zero Dawn

Yeah, we'll see I guess. Anyone else finds that HUD extremly crowded and disorganized? I prefer games with minimal HUD's!

I felt the same...the symbols and exclamation marks on NPCs is also a bit immersion breaking. Let's hope they have options in the menu to turn parts off.

The main character is really well done, the hair, eyes and all the moveable parts, really nice

So this is Far Cry Mass Primal Effect with robots?

*Mass Cry Primal Cause?

HAHAHA

Watching the demo now, the HUD really sends you back to Far Cry in all aspects. Also assigning a weapon to the equipment (but I guess that was created in other games before?)

For such an advanced engine the lip sync seems quite poor to me, seems kinda lagging behind the sound, and maybe needs more bones to allow for more face expressions.

Just waiting for someone to superimpose and compare the map with Far Cry's ?

Seems to be reviewing really well, I'm so happy for those guys and girls, it's been a long time coming and a lot of work!!

I think if someone had doubts in mind of getting a PS4, they should be convinced now.

Fuckin hell, are you guys playing this? The graphical fidelity feels like it comes from the future, how can a game so large be so polished and coherent.

I'm about a third of the game in, and every hour surprised me with something, whether it's the story, environments, gameplay, etc. I went in with vaguely high expectations and the game is delivering big time.

Haven't been this impressed with a game as a package in a while, if you own a ps4 getting this is a no brainer.

It certainly seems to be up there wit The Witcher 3 in terms of looks. Does it have any substance?

If I'm not such a huge fan of farcry3/4 (I like them, I just didn't like them enough to play for more than 5 hours) will this game still appeal to me?

No offense to anyone who worked on both of those games, but I really didn't like neither of them, because they felt very formulaic. (Ubisoft tends to do that, specially with their open world games)

Horizon tries to embrace it's own DNA and stand by itself, I'd actually compare it more to Skyrim than to Far Cry games.

Also, there's a lot more stealth in here than I initially thought there was going to be, you genuinely need to respect every single enemy in the game, since they can all individually kill you in a couple of hits. Also, when there's packs of machines, there's a certain order you might want to kill them, for example, you probably wanna try and get the Watchers first, but if you get all of them the rest will probably just scatter or run away because they just lost their spotters. The AI is incredibly nuanced, it's a lot of fun to play around with it, specially once you unlock the posses/hack ability.

Just as in like any other open world game, you're gonna get to the point where things will start to get repetitive a little bit, this is where your playstyle should change a bit to spice things up. I completely changed my approach from stealth to hack/combat these last couple hours and it changes the minute to minute combat a lot. dux in terms of graphical fidelity is deffo up there with the Witcher 3, only completely different AD of course.

great to see a new IP do so well
