FAQ

What is Horizon Zero Dawn?
Horizon Zero Dawn is an Action RPG, that takes place in a post post apocalyptic world where the machines are ruling the world, but new dangers arise.

Can you customize HUD and UI elements?
Yes, you can customize and turn off UI elements, to a point of non visibility and even replace/rescale them.

Are there choices?
You've the option to delve deeper into the story come character interactions via conversation wheels. But in addition to this there are also narrative-driven flashpoints, offering three different approaches to key situations that'll shape Aloy and her relationships

How does saving work?
You can save at campfires. Campfires need to be unlocked through discovery, but once you've done so they double up as save points (quick or manual save for alternate save points) and fast travel points. The game will also automatically save during quests.

Photo Mode?
Yes. You can even change the time of day to the minute.

Are cutcenes always that bad?
No. While this is a subjective thing, it doesn't seem to be worse, in most cases better, than a lot of other games in the vein of this. Here is a link.

Are there dungeons?
Yes, there are smaller caves, which are just small places to explore, then we have something called Cauldron. Which seems to have loot, puzzles and bosses, too. 4 have been found so far. You can see a short glimpse of one in the PlayStation Access video, linked below.

Can I craft or buy weapons and gear?
Yes.

OMFG, HYYYYYPE!!!!!

 

[Guymelef]

The lighting in the first video

 

[LuuKyK]

Looks insanely good. I am literally considering buying a PRO for this game.

 

[CaptainSmirnov]

Sweet Christmas.

Looks amazing

 

[robotrock]

Disgusting titling on that first link. what's the point of making a 4k video if you're going to ruin those pixels

 

[codhand]

dat grass

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Thanks Kenzo for the reminder, looking forward to reading them!

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Saving at specific bonfire locations only? Thats a bit strange for modern day games. Please say theres an option to do it simply by pausing.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

So i heard you have a Robot pet dino

So excited

Edit: ubisoft shit starts already

 

[12BoM]

looks like a ubisoft game to me

very far cry like

graphics great though i guess

 

[Karspankey]

My x800D is coming just in time for this game \O/ It will be the showcase game for the Pro, no doubt

Save points. In 2017. I hope not!

And here we go

 

[Killyoh]

I have no interest in the game but holy fucking shit is it beautiful.

 

[Lom1lo]

Wow, it looks insane.

pls no

 

[Cyborg]

Whoop Whoop. It looks amazing

 

[vivekTO]

Can't wait for DOWNGRADE!!!

 

[Neoleo2143]

26 machines? Seems pretty good for enemy variety.

Also the little dotted line towards quests, ugh.

 

[HStallion]

The night footage isn't quite as impressive as I was hoping. It looks kind of green instead of actual night time.

 

[daveo42]

UI is a bit cluttered, but the rest of the game looks amazing. Was there a preview event over the weekend?

Can't wait for DOWNGRADE!!!

Really?

 

[JetSetRadio]

It will look great, hope it's fun to play.

 

[BY2K]

You can only save at Bonfires? That's strange for such a huge game.

Maybe there's autosaves, tho.

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

 

[Lifeline]

Avoiding spoilers so not watching it, but is there any info if the open world is seamless like Skyrim/far cry or split into chunks like The Witcher 3?

 

[OléGunner]

Goodness me!

*faints*

 

[SuperEpicMan]

That footage during the night is gorgeous. Kinda makes me wanna get a Pro just for it.

sounds good to me.

Really?

Yeah one for the US and one for EU.

 

[BY2K]

Jesus...

uh? I didn't know that

Games that don't do saving easily (e.g. Dark Souls - although yes you can quit to main menu) aren't great for parents

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Jesus those graphics.

My god.

 

[black070]

Those graphics are eye melting good.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

pls no

https://youtu.be/OX--jwLCLDc?t=29s

Im hoping theres a very good autosave/quit option thats like Dark Souls otherwise i'll have to skip this for a while. I barely get time to game anymore and losing progress because of a PS1 era save system is not something I have time for.

 

[mejin]

Pro redeemed!

 

[Catdaddy]

Embargo - for reviews or previews?? made me double check the release date....

 

[Turkoop]

Embargo - for reviews?? made me double check the release date....

no, previews.

 

[NeoRaider]

It looked like Far Cry Primal with robots.

 

[Gudji]

I believe this is a starter area. Pretty sure that's not the full map!

 

[Gurish]

Obviously spectacular visually, easily best looking open world game, but I'm still not sure about the game having interesting and varied quests.

 

[robotrock]

https://youtu.be/OX--jwLCLDc?t=29s

jesus that looks pretty damning

 

[nico1982]

The leg articulation of the longneck in title image is creepy :\

 

[Fliesen]

Somewow it gives me stronger Shadow of Mordor vibes than any ubi open world.

And i loved Shadow of Mordor (its open worldness - the story was 'okay-i-guess'). Super hyped for this.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Olara really needs to shut the hell up

 

[DangerMouse]

So damned hyped!

Goddamn does it look gorgeous.

Wow.

 

[robotrock]

map size doesn't mean anything

 

[Mifune]

Spending a lot of time in those menus for a game that's not an RPG.

 

[Karspankey]

Does anyone know if we can turn off the hud? I need the option.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

Night gameplay guys, it looks gorgeous
