Horizon: Zero Dawn Trailer (Guerrilla, post-apocalyptic pre-historic adventure)
- Thread starter VisceralBowl
- Start date
I meant a fully "designed" world, as opposed to Just Cause which is mostly procedurally/randomly generated.
In ancient Egypt men and women both wore the same amount of makeup, jewellery, etc., though. (Well, rich men and women did.) In that sense the gender-specific beauty standards were quite different from today's.
i really have to disappoint you, that's all real and playable. no cgi, no cutscene.

Interesting. It makes sense though. Judging from the different tribes, the map would have to be pretty big to feel coherent.

big map have it's own problem, like how populated the world are. realistically I think, shouldn't it take a couple in game days of walking to explore the landscape we see

Depends on if horses are in, and their speed. Even TW3s massive map is made somewhat trivial by horses.

Forget about horses, what if you can ride robodino!

Can we fly? I want to see the map from above.
I'm rooting for primitive hanggliders. If we can have supercharged component bows, we can have hanggliders

I'd be alright with actual horse mounts (ie not robots), but I don't know about flying. I mean, the people are still primitive in their own way, and primitive people didn't/don't really need to fly, it'd just be a fun extra for the player. Personally, I'd rather stay on the ground and be immersed in the story; it also cuts down on the size of the world, so what we do see is beautiful and detailed without them having to worry about draw distance and massive ceilings. Plus, flying eliminates all the wall-jumping, super-specific-spot, get-headbutted-into-the-tree-to-shutter-up-this-tree-and-only-this-tree glitchy fun that games generally have if you can't just fly everywhere.*

I believe in one of the interviews they mentioned that all large animals are extinct - only small stuff like rabbits are still alive.
But, afaict, robots are ambivalent towards humans. In the demo they were simply protecting their pack from a predator (Aloy)... and I think somewhere there's an image of a domesticated robot dog.
So I wouldn't be surprised if Aloy used a robo-mount of some type.

Most interesting tidbit is that Killzone's apparently dead for good.
So what could Cambridge's project aside from Rigs be if it's not Killzone...? :O

The multiplayer was not even close to dead in a month lol. The single player was not really all that bad on the hard difficulty. Using the OWL was fun for the most part. I don't really get how people think this game was awful in single player. Sure, the story was a huge letdown and it was obvious they were a launch game but it's easily one of the better launch games out there.

I mean, we know it's on earth. And the last area the trailer panned over was the UK. But England (or most anywhere in Europe) seems like a bad place to set it. There's not enough environment variety. I'd set it in the Americas (western half of the U.S. or western half of South America) for maximum environmental diversity. China could probably work pretty well, too.Someone posted this on 9gag:

Not being able to ride the larger machines is a bummer. In too many games with dragons and other large creatures, you can only fight them. But oh well, it's a minor thing. I'll get over it. I just really like games that let you fly and whatnot. Now all that said, if the game allows me to scavenge the wings of that giant robo eagle and turn them into a pair of wings that allow Aloy to fly, I'll be one happy camper. Please, Guerrilla! Make it so!

Maybe it's a bit like Gotham city in the Nolan movies. It's clear that it was set in Chicago and NYC etc, but in the end it's Gotham.

Yep, that building's in London, the area's called Elephant & Castle, it's a new block of residential housing. I live up the road from it and pass it on my way to work.
Europe is plenty diverse, but in any case your premise is based on how these locations appear *now*. All bets are off for how they'd have changed given a 1000 yrs of climate change and whatever apocalyptic event wiped out civilization in the first place.

Alright so Zoetis appears to have some insider information. But how are we certain that all his claims about Horizon are 100% correct? All I know thus far is that he correctly predicted that TLG would be at E3. If his claims about Horizon are also correct then he is either a quite important person at Sony or connected to one.
Don't think it's a coincidence, but it might be just used for inspiration, doesn't prove the setting of Horizon is in the UK. It might as well be some fictional land mass.

The way Herman Hulst was talking to Geoff about it, I didn't get the impression that Killzone was put out to pasture.
Edit: In regards to that building, I don't think it necessarily means it's in the UK. There's also been evidence of the game taking place in Colorado.

Do you know who did the vocals? It sounded like Aeralie Brighton.
Very good point.
You should ask the Mods for a tag so everyone knows you are a GG dev.

Resistance.

As an option this would be nice, but I'd prefer the default model to be as they've shown her.
Has anything been said about character customization?
Different clothing?
Other than being able to craft armor, I don't think they've said anything about that.

Oh!! Not who I thought it was, but I loved what I heard. An excellent choice.

I wonder if this game even takes place on Earth.
Killzone looked like a futuristic Earth but it was Vekta in Alpha Centauri.
I could see them doing a different planet in a different star system
Edit: What if this IS Vekta?

They were pretty clear about establishing the main character.

Doubt it, Resistance is dead unless Insomniac can con Sony into funding a remake, even though there's no demand.

But who is Zoetis?, i think i remember Guerrilla devs stating that they loved Killzone when asked about it so i find it hard to believe.

Sorry but this sounds like someone who knows nothing about the diversity of the UK's countryside. I'll tell you, there's plenty.
