Yea the effing Collector's is out of stock. I hope it's got some more in the pipeline because I want to buy it in the near future, like next month. I hope it's not run out, that steelbook is sexy AF.

Completely forgot I preordered this and just got the Amazon shipping notification. Hype!
Perfect timing - I'm about to put in 2-weeks notice at work and might take off a few days between jobs.
I haven't been on blackout but I have not watched any video other than the stuff shown at E3. The only other stuff I've heard was on the last Bombcast. When Jeff glows about a game like that (and give it five stars) that's a pretty good guarantee its going to be a GOTY contender for me. Can't wait.

Dynamic, when you aim down a bow the screen space is on your right, but exploring the environments sometimes it's on you left, sometimes your centered, sometimes to your right. In order to get it back to your right side you can push in the aim button and it will go there.

Did the strat guide get delayed? It's one of those nice FuturePress books, but Amazon is showing a March 14th release date now.
Emailed Amazon asking why my copy is still sitting at their warehouse across the state waiting to be picked up by UPS. They said the tracking number originally attached to the order was invalid and gave me the same tracking number when I asked for the new one.
Kinda mad right now.

WOH!!! This game has raised the bar for open world visuals even for PC. I can't believe it looks this good for a console that cost $399 with a weakass CPU. Kudos to GG. Sony exclusives keep delivering top notch visuals as usual.
Can anyone drop uncompressed screenshot or two from nonPro version of the game? Curious how it looks because most of graphics hype seems to be about Pro version.
Tempted to go grab copy on Friday.
Edit:
Makes you wonder if GG's engine could deliver these visuals on PC considering engine is most likely tailor made just for PS4.

Wait...
I think GG just topped this (need gif of Aloy walking through more populated town)

OTS games have allowed this for years...almost 100% of the time you right click the right stick and it switches which shoulder the camera is positioned on, I can't remember a over the shoulder camera system that didn't allow this.
Off the top of my head:
Witcher 3
MGSV
Final Fantasy XV
Watch Dogs 2
Uncharted 4
Mafia III
etc.
Yep. Horizon looks better

Anyone preorder the game in store at Best Buy? I just got a email saying my order is read to pick up but I thought this was out Feb 28th. Is Best Buy letting peolle pick it up today ?
I was actually tempted to do this comparison in the review thread
This Horizon gif certainly gives me pre downgrade Witcher 3 vibes.
While I do agree the visuals are great, lets not get carried away comparing this to pc visuals :/

This "Decima" engine needs to be the industry standard until better tech comes along because it's one of the best console engines to date.

My CE just showed up at work. Now the box is sitting on my desk mocking me for the next three hours.

oh really ... there are direct comparisons to PC here and I think many would agree HZ looks better. But then you also need to consider, it is on a far weaker machine, which makes it even more amazing that it looks this good for an open world game.

Why not? Horizon looks better than any other open world RPG in the market.
Is there? Links or should I go through all 17 pages? That TW3 vs. Horizon GIF comparison isn't that valid because huge resolution difference in GIF's.
Nah guys, I'm not going to get into this debate. Let's just enjoy the game

It's way better than that.

My Gamestop is releasing at 9pm tonight.
Well he isn't one who started throw around hyperbole how Horizon crushes PC games graphically.

Best Buy order has shipped.
Tomorrow is gonna be great.

Just saying I don't agree, but don't wanna get into platform wars. Don't need myself or others banned over graphics arguements
Funny, I always was in awe when I saw that gif and I wished The Witcher 3 would have actually looked like this, hopefully it's PS5 remaster or something like that. Seeing it now, after a couple of hours playing Horizon, it doesn't impress me at all anymore. Horizon beats this in about all aspects.

Why wasn't edge review added?
Sorry, but they delivered it to my house by mistake.
Wow, it actually does hold up well to The Witcher 3 bullshot (In gif form anyway). I think W3 bullshot still looks better (just so much more going on), but I thought that level was still at least a generation away, amazed we already have an open world console game that isn't a million miles off.

Are there any good videos/articles out there for "things you really need to do early on to make the game better" or "things the game doesn't tell you that are really useful"?
Preferably spoiler free.

Not considering 2014 indie game have this
but there is no way a console beat PC visually, ever.
For the hardware its impressive, sure, but lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
Man why does UPS always have to deliver my shit ? They don't come to my house until 7-8PM. A game would easily fit in my mailbox via USPS, at least that way I'll get it around 1:30PM. It's going to suck waiting to play while everyone already has the game.
Errr but nobody said this?

Read the email or go to the site it say available Tuesday 28th. I tried and lost this battle before with them.

Is there more than just walking in that? Because Everybody's Gone To The Rapture looks just as realistic on the PS4.

Fair enough. I was just curious as to which open world RPG looks as good as Horizon on the PC but never mind.
