Horizon Forbidden West [PS, PC]

What is it about them? The lack of complete control over movement? Or is it more psychological impact, like you could drown?

Both, plus the slowness! So annoying.

From the games I recall playing ... They were not horrible when underwater like Rime but that's not a major portion. It's at least not as major as Abzu but that's an entirely different experience as well.

I'm thinking of the early 3D games. Half-Life, Tomb Raider etc.

So you need a character like Sonic speed in order for any underwater portions to be fast enough to enjoy?

Why is there cgi star wars inter-cut with HZD2?

Someone on era did it for comparison purposes between old videogame offline rendering and Horizon 2.

I love underwater sections when done right. Maybe it's because I used to do a lot of free diving when I was younger.
It's like a different world in the ocean and in a game like Horizon 2 I imagine it brings a lot of diversity to the graphics.

All the real location are in the trailer

So real life has mediocre graphics confirmed? The dull lighting and lack of foliage compared to Horizon is very underwhelming.

 

[Xbat]

The clouds are a big improvement too.

This was super informative. I'm amazed if they deliver it 2021 as said in the video. Also the additions to game sound good fun.

Those graphics in a first year open world
game will be fantastic.

At first glance I thought it said "Captured on PS4™".

Could use some AF.

 

[ultragpu]

Just look at those detail, the density and that lighting! It's like concept art in real time.
The individual asset detail is through the roof here.
PS5 rocks

PS4 rocks

Yep. I have fond memories of HZD, but sometimes I feel that my brain remembers some games looking much better than they actually do, if that makes any sense? HZD still looks great, but the low-resyness of it all is remarkable next to the new one.
