Horizon Zero Dawn PSX 2016 Trailer. It Still Looks Absolutely Amazing!
- Thread starter HStallion
- Start date
Going by that shot of these two going at it, it looks like one of them has been infected by the corrupter machine.
On a random site note we can see one of the robotic birds picking up a dead watcher, looks like a spear in its side. Its interesting in I guess the machines will clean up the dead in the environment.
Ok, here's a theory...the dead Watcher gets taken to somewhere similar to the cave/dungeon we see the Shellwalkers marching to in the latest trailer, where the materials can be recycled.
It's in one of the E3 trailers in the canyon environment at about 2:13.
There's also some human-on-human melee with her spear in the E3 trailer at 2:09...and a cutscene at 2:34 where Aloy is being attacked by a member of the tribe who control the Scorpion droids.

In the story trailer from before E3 it showed Aloy struggling with a guy in a cutscene. I expect the final game will feature combat against other humans (enemy tribes), but to be honest I'd rather it didn't because I'd like to play it with my daughter (who will be 7 at the time) and if there's violence against people that will make me reluctant.
Sure, but the GTA games have a lot more going on than most games. Vehicle physics, lots of characters on screen with their own AI systems, an open world with little or no loading, long viewing distance, and so on. It's a heck of a lot more demanding than visually top-tier games like Uncharted or Gears.

You must be watching something different to everybody else or you should have went to Specsavers.

GTA games also have budgets most AAA games can only dream of.

"semi-automated actions" is the new "janky enough" jargon on RPG.
What exactly is a semi-automated action? This isn't some QTE fest from everything we've seen and you have full control of your character with a variety of responsive moves and actions.

Semi-automated? What does it means, LMFAO.
So you are finally Hyped for "semi-automated action". Meh
this is the type of stuff i like to read. hype intensifying.
That's freaking amazing! Exactly the type of AI I want in my games. Smart and relentless. Can't wait to play it come March!

Bring on that pro bundle!
I still don't see what all the fuss is about with this game. Yes it looks gorgeous but every trailer before this one has consisted of the exact same thing. Track a robot dinosaur, take down a robot dinosaur. Rinse and repeat. The game just looks boring to me. Is there any variety? Puzzles? Dungeons? Anything besides hunting dinosaurs and resource gathering?

It's because it looks to succeed at what it sets out to do. I've got a long write up comparing the game to Zelda: BoTW and there seems to be quite a nice amount deliberate combat design in this game.
Enemy design in particular looks top notch. So even if you're just fighting foes, the game still seems pretty engaging because of that apparent complexity in foes.
Not sure where else to post this but after watching the psx panel on horizon I've gotta say John Gonzalez is a really exceptional interviewee and speaker. His passion comes through and he's really well spoken. It sounds like he was a really good get for Guerilla. And in case anyone was wondering, it's spoiler free and really wets your appetite

Point taken. Yeah from all interviews I've seen of him, john gonzales seems pretty passionate about this project. Hopefully his writing/work from new vegas transfer to horizon. Btw you went to psx right? Got any impressions of the gameDidn't you just bump it?
*self referential bump*

I somehow forgot how good this game looks wow
Yeah I only got to try it once but I was pretty impressed. The controls feel pretty solid. The enemy types are a good mix. There are different techniques that will give you more success. The level layout was nice, it allowed for different tactics but the biggest takeaway for me was the intensity and overall mechanics of the combat. I think they nailed it which is important, given that it's what you'll be doing a good amount of the time. And I expect no less from guerilla.
One nice touch I noticed was
I hacked one beast and was able to ride and shoot from it. If you left it alone, the feral machines would see it as an outsider and attack it
So my only concern for the full game is the story. In my eyes it's always been guerilla's Achilles heel. But shadow fall at least had a real ending and they've seem to put a lot into the lore so there's hope.
Anyone know if Cambridge is assisting development?
Well the thread is bumped ,so why not post this

I hope people don't take this the wrong way. This is a developer tool (that looks pretty neat frankly) to make game worlds easier and focus design. This process could lead to Death Stranding coming out earlier than expected.

Sounds great man, did you manage to take a look at aloy's skill tree? Also, last year the devs mentioned persistent damage on the enemies; was it present in the demo you played?

Since it has been bumped. Got rated in Germany, USK12.
And it would look much worse on a Megadrive.

That is cool, did Kojima made that himself? He should stop playing lego and go back to work on Death Stranding.

It's made from the demo content but it's new afaik.
Either someone who played the demo captured some footage and is master at editing them or this is an early leak of a tutorial trailer that will come soon.

I guess it's old since the hand sliding hasn't been fixed. Also, that tutorial video is pretty lame to be official.

Perhaps you can map it to another button.
4Chan Rumor , Ending of the Game leaked Spoilers Ahead , Proceed Cautiously.
I think this leak happens to be at the right time,as the internal reviews is completed as suggested by Shinobi. What are your thoughts?
The story twist is that this is the second cycle in this world. The main character, Aloy, discovers by visiting the Ancient Ruins of civilization at the end of the game that the 'humans' you see walking around, including you, are simply bio-machines from the first cycle that used biomatter to replicate, like humans reproduce. Humanity has been gone EVEN LONGER than we, the players, think at first. The corruption is never fully explained, it's just established that it's from an unknown source within the ruins, but there's a hint it might have more importance in a sequel. The ending has Aloy basically choose between wiping out the robots or the bio-machines, since the robots were initially programmed by the original humans to wipe out the living creatures the bio-machines that yearned to live like humans hundreds of thousands of years ago feed off.
Zero Dawn is the name of the software found in a huge building in the Ancient Ruins that can shut off the beings roaming the world or your own race

That music, hope it's in the game.
it's probably the ending everyone feared. I'm.... I'm.....a robot? And a bit of a franchise ending. But I'm a bit glass half empty on this one.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
That it does, but there'll definitely be pre-release preview, review etc threads.
edit: ending spoilers ? fuuuuuuckkk thaaaattttt I'm out of here forever !
Everyone feared about, only Alloy being the bio-machine . Not that the rest of the living beings are machines too!!(if the above rumour is true). Also matrix kinda Storyline makes it interesting.
