WHOOOOO!!!!

This some ReCore shit lol
 
I'll do a big thread on why I think it's a bad game outside of the parts I mentioned when I stop being lazy. The characters are pretty meh and I couldn't get invested into them because well they have no real arcs or no real development to speak of, every single main char just exists to be an extension of Noctis except maybe Gladio who has Iris on the side. Just terrible writing. The world itself is also incredibly boring, the only cool looking things(as in final fantasy levels of cool) are the meteor while Titan is still holding it up and Altissia and the little bit of Insomnia, everything else is just eh whatever.



Yeah finally an open world game that might dethrone Unity in the visual department.

Overall, from footage, I think this game clearly beats out unity visually. Better geometry, more beautiful lighting, better LoD, more consistent texturing, more post processing going on. And of course, Unity was rough in many spots. Personally I think Wildlands and FFXV already beat out Unity anyway.
 
Yeah no way the game is good...........

God of War is a fantastic game and yet it's an example of what I'm talking about. The opening had the most attention put into it as it should be.

I'm not saying the game will be bad. I think it'll be great. I'm wondering if it increases in complexity in terms of layout or has any surprises.

The first one unlocks horse mount the last unlocks Thunderjaw override, It is like level1 dungeon to level 5 dungeon , now take that as you will.

MAJOR SPOILERS NEAR END GAME:

I'm not finished, but here's a screenshot of what the game is telling me is the Metal Devil. The type of machine beast that ended human civilization. These can eat any biomatter (plants, animals, people) as fuel to replicate and create more machines. They're walking tanks and missile robots even stronger than any Metal Gear. They are unhackable, and they hack other robots and machines to take over them and do its bidding. So it's unstoppable.

Cool, though that does look like the squid things from the Matrix at first glance.

I have no idea where I am but the plot is advancing and more answers are hitting me than questions at this point so it feels like I'm reaching a meaty conclusion.

The plot to this game almost all makes sense to me now. What happened then and what happened now is all tied into the politics of the game. It's great.

Is that an out of cutscene gameplay screenshot ? If so holy fuck. Best looking game of all time!

Just seen the screenshots on the previous thread... wow Even on the base PS4 it's an incredible looking game. Well done GG!

It's during an in-game in-engine cutscene which leaves you right at that spot so it looks basically the same during gameplay.

Have you run into any Killzone easter eggs?

I never finished any killzone so I have no idea

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
So, anyone said which region these copies are from?

Canada perhaps? Pls?

OH MY GOD MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS NEAR WHAT MAY BE THE END


All-Mother, the deity the Nora tribe worships, is actually an advanced AI called Gaia that was created to recreate the biosphere of earth after the machines destroyed it. Gaia has several levels of AI that repopulated the biosphere. One of them had an archive of human knowledge up to that point that was lost, which is why humanity started over in a primitive state. The engineer who created Project Zero Dawn, the emergency response with Gaia AI to respond to the inevitable end of the planets biosphere, looks just like Aloy.

HNNNNGH THIS PLOT

Believes Dragon Quest is a franchise managed by Sony
I literally did not expect this kind of plot. It sounds like something a Japanese dev would make up lmao i love it.

I thought it was just gonna be a straightforward terminator type situation

Seems like there is a lot of meat there

The streamer just beat the game. I didn't really get the ending since I lacked the story knowledge up to that point but the final battle looked hectic and fast paced.

Can you comment on weapon types? From the previews, we know that there's weapons classes like the bow, sling, rope caster and some burst rifle thing. Have you found more weapons types?
