Horizon Forbidden West [PS4, PS5]

I could, but EuroGamer is a well-known source here, usually reliable aswell. No one would have the balls to share such a review right?

Lets start with reddit/4chan gif wars

 

No. Let's stop here instead.

 

Then why starting it?

 

You try to start it with 90% of yor posts sadly, so you can't be surpirsed when it's too much and people start getting tired of it.

 

If you want to be impressed download the high quality version of the digitalfoundryvideo if you are patreon supporter and/or download gamersyde review and watch it on TV. The two are fucking impressive. Watch this on 4k TV, this is much better than youtube version.

Guerilla has confirmed on reddit (why? Why not official Twitter or website?)

That gyro aiming is NOT PS5 exclusive. It also works on PS4.

 

So far, from the footage I've seen, this is by far the best-looking game on PS5 so far and better than what's currently on Xbox.

I didn't think HZD was all that great looking for the PS4/XBO gen (that water ... gross), but I have no reservations when looking at HFW and thinking it's the best I've seen this generation so far. Although from what little has been shown so far for GOW: Ragnarok, I think that's going to look better.

Also, kudo's to the dev. team for getting rid of the archaic climbing system that was used in HZD. I can't believe there are still games being made using that crappy climbing system.

Scary, feels like hellblade 2 with thoses paints

Spoiler

 

Remember HZD was released in 2017. Not many games during that time had better open world graphics/story etc. imo.

 

EDIT: animals look much better

 

Water texture is vastly improved this time, but it still misses depth, it's too flat, no mesh deformation.

 

Some reviewers mention massive pop-in apparently and some bugs...uah, so Sony first party are also losing their mojo? I hope they can fix it at day 1.

What is going on with this brain drain in the gaming industry...it seems that no one knows how to handle large software projects anymore

 

I suspect burnout from work

 

Its good things can be patched, with the ps2 you had to live with these kind of things

 

some points: 1) reviews were made on version before day 1 patch 2) covid 3) even first party studios have now develop on ps4, ps4 pro, ps5 and probably also pc version simultaneously

hope they will also rethink and patch hero lighting back to reveal trailer ;d

 

I think she was a bit too "glossy" in the reveal, glad they toned it down a little.

 

For sure fake looking but same time for some reason awsome, maybe they could add slider in options

 

but it still looks awesome !

 

She looks like she ate old alloy. I doubt we will see better looking game this year, kinda crazy how talented they are even on last gen this looks beautiful
