still not showing us gameplay :

let's hope for a demo next week

How do you mean "still"? They unveiled the game with a gameplay section.

 

[Guymelef]

I wonder if little Aloy will be in flashbacks or an intro tutorial.

Horizon Platinum demo.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

It looks like a notable step up from Uncharted 4 despite being an open world game and draws in a ton of detail at a long range to boot.

This is almost assuredly the PS4K footage unless this is all cutscene mode.

It don't look that much better than UC open areas .
Plus it hard to tell since it youtube.

 

[Asd202]

Shit, what am I supposed to buy in 4th quarter now?! Damn.

The Last Guardian.

 

[Sid]

I don't mind devs taking longer to work on a game, but I really wish these folks would just give themselves a couple of extra months when announcing the game to begin with.

Yup, they should really do it like Fallout 4.

 

[Ricky_R]

How do you mean "still"? They unveiled the game with a gameplay section.

We all know that was pre-rendered gameplay.

 

[Ambitious]

Damn. I want the artbook, but I'd rather have the standard case than the steelbook.

 

[theecakee]

I'm gonna guess that outcast means she came from the old world somehow.

Game looks great.

 

[sjay1994]

this is dope man, you can almost feel that CDPR people working on this game

Well, the writter behind the Bloody Baron Questline from Witcher 3 is working on this game, so I am hopeful the actual games writing is good, since this trailer didn't really give a good impression for it.

 

[J-Skee]

Horizon Platinum demo.

I'm okay with that.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Uncharted 4 has areas that are huge and open...............

There's a huge, huge difference between wide linear levels and a true open world.

Like, breh, how has this industry not made you cynical toward these trailers yet? Nothing is ever as it seems, unless it is, and it's too early to say right now, so I'll choose to not believe any of it.

 

[jett]

Writing was horrible

"why am I an outcast? Who was my mother?"

"Always you pushed for answers, pushed yourself....to the edge."

At least the game looks great graphically. The last game the team made was pretty bad. So I'll be waiting for reviews on this one

The writing in this trailer is so clichéd and trite, if not straight awful.

Developers should know where their weaknesses lie. A minimalist story would probably be better in 90% of the cases when a video game attempts one. You'd think Guerrilla would be capable of some soul-searching after the games they've released.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

We all know that was pre-rendered gameplay.

Except it wasn't because there were multiple live demos showing different gameplay

 

[Daredevil.shark]

still not showing us gameplay :

let's hope for a demo next week

Have you checked E3 demo? It was pure gameplay.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Must be Neo, looks too incredible. Delay doesn't bother me at all.

When she was riding the robodino shooting her bow and arrow I got heavy Zelda vibes. I hope Nintendo knows that this is the kind of competition they're up against... Going to be hard to compete.

Visually, yeah, it will be hard to compete. And the game will almost certainly be a joy to play. I'm very excited for it.

However, I've personally never played a "Zelda-like" that even comes close to the best Zelda games in terms of quality, so I'm not worried about Zelda at all in that regard.

And I think I have to unfortunately agree with those criticizing the dialog. After watching the trailer again....yeah, it's really bad.

 

[jrDev]

LOVED the trailer!

 

[Vire]

Didn't they get some hot shot writer to fix Guerrilla's terrible dialogue and stories?

What happened?...

I dunno, this trailer actually did more to harm my hype than fuel it. I was really hoping they would up their game on the story front this time around.

 

[Spring Drive]

Toasters became sentient and destroyed the world and then evolved into dinosaurs robots. The last remaining huma... it's about hunting robot dinosaurs, do you need anymore context?

Yes

 

[Jolkien]

This keep looking phenomenal. My 2016 schedule is already packed so I don't find the delay to be too unbearable, I'm in day one.

 

[DieH@rd]

I liked the hints about her past. "Identity confirmed" and opening of the door. We are in on a great ride it seems.

 

[Loudninja]

Yup, they should really do it like Fallout 4.

Fallout 4 still launch with alot of issues a delay would have help.

 

[wapplew]

Writing is shit because they are not very good in English, how many years after apocalypse? They might be forgot about how to speak.

 

[zma1013]

We all know that was pre-rendered gameplay.

Pre-rendered gameplay with graphical shadow glitches? Seems like something they would have fixed up before doing it.

 

[KinofChaos]

Didn't they get some hot shot writer to fix Guerrilla's terrible dialogue and stories?

What happened?...

So you know the story in Horizon and if it's good or not?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

What are the chance this and Killzone are connected?

 

[DieH@rd]

We all know that was pre-rendered gameplay.

That was played several times live to the E3 audience [and again live on stage on PGW/PSX I don't recall exactly].

 

[nycgamer4ever]

Video was taken down?

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

That entire trailer was gameplay...and haven't we gotten a demo for every reveal so far?

Sounds like he's downplaying the game...

 

[Crazy Diamond]

The art is some of the most vivid I've seen for a game in quite some time. Looks promising.

 

[theecakee]

Uncharted 4 has areas that are huge and open...............

I liked Uncharted 4, but it is not an open world game lol. It's open areas wouldn't come close to an open world game is suppose to be.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

People complaining about the story as if video games are known for that...

 

[KinofChaos]

I liked Uncharted 4, but it is not an open world game lol. It's open areas wouldn't come close to an open world game is suppose to be.

I didn't say it was open world..I said it had large expansive areas, and it did.

 

[everyday math]

People complaining about the story as if video games are known for that...

Oh boy...
This thread is turning in a directions that I don't like...

 

[captscience]

I really hope the father's dialogue is written just for the trailer. That was some terribly generic voice acting and writing.

I assume he'll die early in the game anyway so hopefully we'll be spared listening to that all game.

 

[Fractology]

"These questions, the tribe has forbidden. What if the answers are worse than not knowing?"

I agree with the tribe. I'm not sure there can be any answer that will satisfy any curiousity as to why there are robot dinosaurs everywhere or what her origin is.

Now they could surprise but I was sort of hoping they wouldn't go down this path towards explaining everything about why stuff is.

Much like how I don't care about how and why zombies exist in zombie stories, I was hoping for a story more... umm skirting around this sort of common issue movies and games have.

That being said everything else looks great. I may have to buy the CE for it just because the box looks samn good.

I tend to agree although I always am a sucker for post-apocalyptic lore (as long as it comes in broken scraps and isn't spoon fed to the audience). The one thing that really bothered me though was that final shot of her standing in front of the door as it scanned her and said "Identity Confirmed" before opening up. Is this really just going to be some chosen-one prophecy cliche...? I hope not.

I don't know, everyone was cynical at Infamous:SS back in the day. Especially the IQ. Everyone was cynical about DriveClub, The Order and Uncharted too.

But that was before my PS4 melts trying to render Watch_dogs.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

They hired the writer of Fallout: New Vegas.

 

[0racle]

My guess all this pre e3 excitement for vig games is them still showcasing ps4 hardware. At e3 we will see these games on ps4k.

 

[theecakee]

I didn't say it was open world..I said it had large expansive areas, and it did.

I guess you have really low expectations for "open areas", that game is the definition of linear and "open areas" would have hurt the game.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

People complaining about the story as if video games are known for that...

well it is a story trailer after all

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Writing is shit because they are not very good in English, how many years after apocalypse? They might be forgot about how to speak.

Maybe they learned all of their English from Hunger Games and Divergent movie trailers.



I actually really hope they don't take this potentially dope post-apocalyptic Nausicaa/Mononoke-esque nature/culture heavy future thing and turn it into a YA story

 

[TheSlySoul]

Video was taken down?

I am starting to wonder if press dates were meant for June 13th and it somehow posted stuff today.

 

[viHuGi]

This game has Goty written all over it!

 

[GavinUK86]

It doesn't look anything special visually so I can't see why it wouldn't be the current PS4 version. A lot of pop in during the environment pan shots and the textures aren't all great. I can't see the "Neo/PS4K" or whatever versions being very different.

 

[Floody]

People are saying dino riding, but that looks like a robot bull to me.

They robots aren't all Dino-themed, I think it looks like a horse with a Bull's head (maybe customizable mounts?).

Is this really just going to be some chosen-one prophecy cliche...? I hope not.

She is probably the daughter of some scientist couple that created the robot dinosaurs that destroyed the world or something.

 

[Bad_Boy]

After sony learned from the killzone 2 trailer i havent really worried about the quality of the 1st/2nd party games final release graphics

I mean... infamous, driveclub, order, killzone ps4, uncharted, etc all looked great.

I have no reason to worry now. Ubisoft on the other hand...

 

[KinofChaos]

I guess you have really low expectations for "open areas", that game is the definition of linear and "open areas" would have hurt the game.

So you have seen how big/open Horizon is? Uc4 has open areas, pretty large ones....that's a fact, you can downplay it all you want.

 

[Loudninja]

I am starting to wonder if press dates were meant for June 13th and it somehow posted stuff today.

Eh the vid is on ps blog and Sony channel.
