Damn you! The next video was an ASMR and I got sidetracked by related videos from there.

It's probably already been asked but what kind of attire options are there? Are there armour choices or is it just cosmetic skins?

O I can answer this without the game (don't judge me) there aren't individual pieces but instead entire outfits with different stats that compensate your playstyle.
Alot of outfits with different benefits you can buy or find.

Which is cool. But I think I would have loved to have a cool loot system in the game too. But hey I mean they can only do so much lol.

I'll take either or both. Sequel material!

We need to see videos of ants.
I don't have the game myself, but in the settings menu there are on/off- toggles for quest and waypoint pathfinding. Maybe that's it?
There is loot but its crafting supplies mostly

Ants!
Wait does this game have a photo mode?

Can you combine parts of different armor sets to one outfit or are they only wearable as a complete set?
They do actually have SS.
Look how the leaves glow in the pic that's taken against the sun, while parts that are not lit by the sun are dark.
The grass as well.
Yep a big one.
Nah nothing like that.Can you combine parts of different armor sets to one outfit or are they only wearable as a complete set?

Didn't skyrim have ants on a stump or two? Though I think with it it was actually on certain stumps.

I believe they were first seen in a trailer or short vid that was officially released by Sony/GG. And a gif was made here. Maybe someone will post it by the time I post this lol.

I'm actually playing skyrim remastered On the pro and haven't come across any ants. But the atmosphere in skyrim is unbeatable. Second to none.

Yeah, there are actually ants on the ground near Riverwood as well. They don't carry leaves though

Only on GAF will peeps lose their shit over ants on a tree.
How many pre order cancellations will there be if the regular non Pro version is antless?

So this thread went from impressions to someone baselessly saying the game is 30 hours and people taking that as fact and then to someone else who doesn't care about impressions coming in here telling us about how he's ignoring the positive impressions
Honestly, it's pathetic sometimes.
Horizon: Zero Dawn |OT| Antz
I think the real lesson we all learned here is that Antz came out after Shrek.

Cool tech/graphical stuff is cool. It's not relegated to GAF.
Ants may sound like a silly detail but it actually gives you an idea of the level of polish that has gone into the final product.
If they have the time and money to spend on ants carrying leaves, think about how much effort must have gone into the gameplay systems and combat feel.

Except it didn't, Antz is 1998, Shrek 2001 (unless you were being sarcastic).

They were.
Look at the box art they quoted. "Ants, from the studio who brought you Shreck"
Semi off-topic but I just finished 'The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet'. A story surrounding the Dejima harbour (old Dutch trading post in Nagasaki), one inspiritation for naming the Horizon Zero Dawn engine 'Decima' (being shared between Amsterdam based Guerrilla Games and Kojima Productions). Was a really good read.

This is insane.Its needs to be on the box. WE GOT ANTS.
Also for reference this was the tree I was standing by before I noticed. You can see them carrying the leaves.

So this is insane detail... ants... that move... on a tree, in an open world... BRICKS SHAT! The game didn't zoom in on that to show me, I just used the camera to cause I wanted a tree close up.
That's some serious attention to detail right there. WOW.
I wasn't being sarcastic actually, just believing VHS covers instead of using google

Urr, it just says Shrek... Anyway this is way off-topic lol.

Shots like this make me pine for HDR. Imagine being able to resolve detail in that blown out area.
For me it was partly Horizon, but the game that really pushed me over was seeing Rachet & Clank on a friend's pro, it blew my mind. Went out and bought a pro and 4K TV a few days later

The little details are what makes an open world special
lol

So you don't associate Role Playing Games with actual role playing?
The ants were also in one of teh alst trailers btw
If we shoot them and they won't react then it's a failure of a detail
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I will demand a refund if a fire arrow doesn't kill the ants.
ANTention.

It's the little details like that which are the reason why some games over others for me be it gfx , animation , world building etc etc .
It's one of the reason why i look forward to certain games .
For eg ND and Kojima games.

Naughty Dog are masters at small details in games.
However this game seems to be shaping up quite nicely in that department as well.
i didn't realize they actually modeled ants carrying leaves.
I wonder if the ants actually go anywhere or if its just like a simple animation line of them moving up/down the tree?
