Final boss spoilers, fucks sake

we finally know what happened to the old ones

 

[Socivol]

So many people are selling this early on Ebay just FYI for anyone that desperately wants it. If I wasn't going to be out of town this weekend I would have purchased a copy.

 

[Sturtiebe]

Is there 3d sound for the New platinum headset ?

 

[MiamiWesker]

That moment you see something in the distance that is HUGE and you know you can just go there and fight it. So much for doing quests. Lol

 

[SlasherJPC]

Ok probably my last round of gifs before the embargo is dropped. It's also getting harder to video stuff and show as I get farther. Enjoy!

tell me how it ends

 

[Equanimity]

All of these beautiful gifs and positive impressions are not easing my wait for the game

 

[vivekTO]

Beautifull!!

Hurricane is also posting some nice pics at twitter!!

 

[Wollan]

Aloy is much more interesting to observe compared to your usual game character. She looks dangerous & purpose filled.

 

[VanWinkle]

Let's say this is the scale of side quest quality in an open world RPG (not saying DA:I is literally the worst, but these are the two I'm comparing):

Dragon Age: Inquisition-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Witcher 3


Where would the quality of the side quests in Horizon fit in to that?

For those wanting to see a gif in a cauldron, head to the spoilers page. It's just a single gif but it's pretty rad!

Yo, that's not bad!

 

[Kaimu]

Any gifs from OG PS4 posted yet? Interested in seeing those since I'm playing on vanilla ps4

 

[Blackthorn]

Do the trunks and branches of trees sway in the wind like they do in The Witcher 3 or just the leaves?

This seems a legit scale. I would add that DA:I could be arbitrarily replaced by AC games.

Rain looks just ok. Not horrible.



On your save file.

A little annoyed Guerilla still suck with rain effects.

There a little things here and there that suffer I'd say, but if it's what they had to do to get this running like it does and looking as it does. I'd say the trade off is worth it. This is one of, if not THE best looking game I've had the pleasure of playing.

Oh yeah, love everything else Ive seen.

Just you know, remembered Killzone Shadowfall that still looks amazing in a lot of levels, but the one with rain sticks out like a sore thumb for me.

Transparency hits worse on the frame rate. That's why big explosions in game are expensive . I would also like to know what renderer there engine are using, forward or Deferred or a combination of both.

Where? All I see is preorders

 

[Ricker]

I love GIFs as much as the other guy but they shoudnt be in a spoiler free thread...glad some are spoiler tagged.

 

[LuuKyK]

these gifs though... they get better and better. what an amazing looking game.

 

[Wollan]

Horizon is currently #1 videogame (any platform) on both Amazon.com & co.uk.
In the US another game has both spot #2 and #3 so combined maybe leading in that market.

Still can't believe no bundle, for pro or slim just nothing. No special edition one or anything disappointed

 

[Loudninja]

Horizon:Zero Yawns am I right?

I just go now.

Here's what it looks like if you bring up the sales ranking for the year thus far.

 

[Wollan]

PS4 Pro is sold out. They could have bundled it with slim but Horizon has become the unofficial 'Pro mascot' (despite super competent base version) so they will likely wait until production catches up.

I think something will be announced toward the end of this week.

This world is just madness. Spoilers of the last 5 minutes of traversing the world around me (just details about some environmental interactions).

Spoiler

I just finish a main mission. I head down a mountain and my next objective is far away. I decide to find a ride instead of fast travel.

I come down the mountain and another member of my tribe is wandering around getting assaulted by bandit scavengers of another tribe. I couldn't save him in time, but I kill his enemies.

In the midst of the commotion, some giant thunderbird machines that were circling are alerted to the commotion and start lobbying frozen energy at me and trying to peck at me like crows.

I finally escape them because I don't have the patience or ammo to waste on them. Then I come across a pasture where chargers (bull-like machines) are grazing. I want to override one to mount it like a bull, but it alerts the rest of the herd. The herd attacks, but my overridden charger helps me kill them all. I thought I had clutched victory, but now that swarm of thunderbirds has been alerted to my presence again and starts attacking my overridden charger, killing it, and then chasing me into the mountains.

Fuck this, I'm fast traveling lmao

I love this world.

 

[fluffydelusions]

To the people that finished the game how does this rank against other GG games?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I don't think anybody beat it yet in here but I hear it's as mediocre as GGs other games

 

[KZObsessed]

Horizon:Zero Yawns am I right?

I just go now.

I'll get your coat for you.

I dont think no one is done yet.

Yeah forgot it

We must spread the hype further.
I really hope it does well enough for a few sequels.

Say what???

Just saw the UK advert for th first time. Played after Topgear. Nice to see some marketing.

 

[iFirez]

I would probably buy a copy if there were any on UK eBay. Purely to have more than 2 days with it before the Switch and BoTW come out.

GG games are mediocre? If it's anything like KZ2, then I'll take that level of mediocre in everything.

Got'em.
