And Coop. Really.
You just can't hunting a big, robo-dinosaur monster alone, without any companion.
I can't really believe that I'm asking for a multiplayer mode on a game. I'm always a SP guy, but for this type game I always thought that coop is an absolute must. After all, This is perhaps western studio first take on hunting action genre and I'm really want to see how they pull one of the most important aspect of genre that is the multiplayer component.
I don't think you realize that game design for co-op necessitates compromises in the vision compared to a purely single player game. Many of us do not want this. Some do. Nobody is right or wrong, but obviously there is a big enough market for purely single player games that it's not exactly unreasonable to hope for.

If this is multiplayer I think they fucked up big time.
I need my big single player RPG adventures.

I didn't say if I wanted co-op or not. I was responding to the other guy saying if it's SP only then Guerrilla "fucked up big time". Which is a laughable statement.

Hated the voice-over throughout the sequence, very childish.
Visually spectacular, and love the art style. Best game at the Sony Conference.

I am so glad they broke away from killzone.
Not only broke away, but doing something completely bonkers but fucking awesome. So glad they didn't stay in their comfort zone.
It's Guerilla, i'm sure they will some sort of online functionality. plus those leaked screen shots showed multiple characters working together.
This is my favorite game from the show as well, with 'For Honor' a close 2nd.
With Aloy as the protagonist, I'm kinda guessing that Guerilla will separate the single player and multiplayer mode.
Here I'm hoping that Guerilla Game gives a lot of robo variety. 15 unique, big robo-dinosaur at the very least.
Story speculation:
Some of the robo's were harvesters right, looked like they were eating grass (harvesting chlorophyll?), so it could be that they're made by some other faction/tribe, with higher technology, and the bigger ones are there to protect the harvesters. So it might not be an internal ecosystem of robo-dinosaurs, with the T-Rex at the top kind of thing.
Why they look like robo-dinosaurs? Maybe the other tribe thought it would look scarier than having mechs running about. Or maybe cause it just looks so fucking cool

Does people really think the robot Aloy fought is the T-Rex of robo-dinosaur? It was too small for that and hopefully there will much bigger robot that will be more fitting as "T-Rex"

Game of the show so far for me. Absolutely jaw-dropping.
Yea, they are. Dutch and British divisions.

How is Guerilla Games, located in The Netherlands, not a western studio?

Looks amazing! Best thing shown at Playstation presser for me.
West is only US and UK brah
Well they are based in Netherlands? Nevertheless, they are the first non-Japanese (or Asia) studio to take on the genre.
Well I play Freedom Wars and loved it very much, but honestly I could't see much semblance besides the more hightech setting. From how the game plays like binding ropes to take down the robot, take their part as weapon and then equipment, that much closer to MH than anything.
And believe me, I would be the last person to overglofying and directly comparing anything that resembled it.

No doubt about it. Something completely new and fresh. Hopefully Robot Monster Hunter AKA Horizon lives up to the hype
Get rid of that horrible subtitle though. The game's setting fascinates me and seems like what Enslaved should have been in the first place, also has elements of Moneleux's B.C.
An alternate title I would have liked would be LIFE AFTER PEOPLE, just for that Discovery Channel street cred!
Think it'll be more Witcher considering GG just hired some guys from CDPR to handle the quest design.
At least for the single player maybe.

Good god, what?
Yes, I thought so, but since it was just a fight vs some dinos I wasn't really sure. I like MH and I would still buy Horizon in a heart beat, but I'd prefer a traditional Open World RPG.

Plus the Fallout new Vegas writer makes me think it will have a strong story focus
nope, but said that they have been working on it since KZ3. 2016 is a safe bet?

Went in optimistic on Horizon and then was sold on it once i saw it xD

I'd say holiday 2016 is a good guess.

Would they risk a new IP during holiday season smack in the middle of yearly franchises and established sequels? Safer as a spring release, no?

Yup.
I had high hopes for the game before we even knew anything, but this succeeded in going beyond my expectations.

If by GOW, you mean God of War, then there's not a goddamn sliver of a chance that game comes out next year. Not one bit.
Yeah, but many promotional picture shows multiple hunters bringing down one monster. It would be completely a waste to not take advantage of such rarely presented type of multiplayer games for the west.
Yeah and that too. I hope that also mean the game will have lighter tone and some humor in it.
Just 2016.
