Horizon Forbidden West [PS4, PS5, PC]

[snc]

Yep. Story wise there is no comparison. DG really had 158 missions? Wow. I got the platinum on that one and I can’t even remember.

strongly disagree, horizon may have quite interesting story, but narration and np'c ? hard to imagine more generic game in this aspect, dg is easly better in this department

I hope this was intentional to give Aloy more room to grow and keep some mystery. Maybe forbidden west adds more details to the antagonist(s). It's still a pretty big mystery what is going on in the world of horizon.

Super excited to see how gameplay compares to the reveal trailer. I wonder when they will show the PS4 version. I'm curious to see how much they are able to improve over HZD on that old hardware.

This is a form of Stockholm syndrome.

I've seen this happen before. It's okay to like something more than somebody else. Nobody needs to die here! DG had some good characters like Rikki and Addison but also has its share of cartoonishly exaggerated archetypes. The lack of characters, apart from the protagonist, in Horizon worked for me because you were on a long journey across lands and mostly on your own. You were rarely forming attachments, just meeting people and moving on quickly.

DG was retreading the well-trodden path of zombie apocalypse whereas Horizon has robot dinosaurs seemingly having exterminated man. It was genuinely new and finding out why was a huge part of the appeal.

I would even like your post but you had to start with dying so maybe next time ;d

Nil is a better character than the entire cast of DG put together. And he's in HZD for like, the whole total of 15 minutes.

I don't even remember who he is and I've finished the game ;d

HZD was a very good game, one of if not the best ps4 games.

Live stream is on. Not sure what’s happening, it’s like a screensaver for now.

Oh. I don’t think this is the actual reveal, I’m early.

I think it starts in five hours (10pm BST) That's what the tweet said. Clearly Sony are using the same comms team as the British Government.

By "glimpse" Sony apparently mean five hours of random world location views.

So weird. A 5 hour countdown.

Time of the day change.

It's weird that you think Sony are weird for doing a weird five-hour countdown to their 15 minute presentation.

@chris1515 yes, yes, mountains clouds. All very impressive. Bring on the rideable robo-pterodactyls.

 

[PSman1700]

Get ready to be gobsmacked.

 

[SlmDnk]

That is a really good idea for a video game event countdown. Nicely executed, as well. I hope that other developers will make something similar.

 

[loekf]

The graphics look really nice, but come on... 5 hour wait ?

Probably the worst ever countdown anyone could come up with. But hey, if the contents any good its no real problem.
