what makes it even worse is that this game is seemingly taking forever to release even though there is barely an upgrade in gameplay or visuals. animation-wise they're using the same exact shit as well.
and people want to make the excuse "it's a direct sequel that's why" okay so why does horizon look like a bigger upgrade?
what about uncharted on ps3?
truthfully all around, that trailer was underwhelming as FUCK. even the way the trailer was edited was really boring and bare minimum without any climatic reveal or anything.
I'm stunned people actually think this way.. How do you know there's barely any upgrade in gameplay when we still know so little about the game? You think visuals alone are the only reason for a game to take a good long while to release? You're not even considering all the new content and areas they may need or want to build, set pieces and cutscenes they may have to complete, new systems that they may be adding on, but just weren't ready to showcase just yet.
They may very well be updating all kinds of things, especially on the visual side of things, but simply just not be there yet. Any sequel they will build it will obviously be starting with the fantastic foundation they already have from the first game. Meaning, yes, reusing a lot of content, such as combat animations, weapons, locations and making adjustments where necessary. Remember the game is clearly quite a ways off. Nothing prevents them from authoring in more complex animations or systems for the PS5 by the time it's closer to release. It isn't even listed for a 2022 release date, much less 2023 like Spider-Man 2. It appears they just wanted to show SOMETHING, and so they gave us this.
When has this studio ever really let down on their quality? People are way too quick to rush to judgment I say. We may not be getting a drastically reinvented God of War: Ragnarock, but why is a sequel to one of the best games released on last gen consoles with a new story and enhancements in key areas (which nobody can seriously claim don't exist yet) not good enough? I'm glad I never let graphical fidelity and pure wow factor dictate my gaming experience or else it'd be a more boring hobby.
