Cool. Me, coffee and a muffin and a nice long read. I'm not even that apprehensive about this, it's going to be difficult enough to decide if Im going to play this or Zelda first. What sick God of Openworld RPGs allowed both to launch two days apart.

Here's a 4k version of the previously posted night time shot.

English commercial for Horizon Zero Dawn PS4 Pro

Alright, ordered a Pro. This will probably be my first experience with it :smile:

Let's hope it lives up to the IQ in the screenshots posted, the game looks wonderful regardless though.

replaying uncharted 4 on the pro since yesterday, i have no worry about the IQ of horizon.

U4 is "only" 1440p on a Pro. Horizon will be checkermarqued 4K.

Yes 2160p checkerboard rendering and better anisotropic filtering and better shadow and downsampling in 1080p. It is pretty good.

From the spoiler free impression topic and hints give by reviewer on twitter, the game seems to be good.

Many people praise the music in Zero Dawn, but i don't like the main theme of the game... it is really uninspired to me.

However, i was pleasantly surprised by the music in this new short trailer :

Man, you guys are building this game up. And the game style is not one I even enjoy much. I am going to be so disappointed All aboard the hype train

Anybody had hands on on the game?
Some people are claiming the dificulty is similar to a souls game...

Shure hope not... I was hoping to explore and enjoy calmly this game

The early impression from GAF seems are that the game is not very difficult... At least in normal mode...

If that is so I shall be very happy and buy it.

I thought The Witcher 3 was going to be souls like in difficulty when I got the shit kicked out of me early on. Turned out that some enemies were just a far higher level than me... for a while at least..

Really dig checkerborading 4k, these to me look damn close to native and any blurriness or artifact are kept to minimal. But the lighting, foliage quality and density are what slayed me on the spot.

 

[Clukos]

It looks really nice, not quite as sharp as native 4k but close enough to be a substantial upgrade over 1080p.
