Not sure what you are looking for but:

Looking forward to the footage of these locales and wildlife interactions.

I'm personally hoping for radically different environments throughout the game too, such as tropical zones/deserts/snow-capped mountains and etc.

 

[Kyoufu]

Xenoblade Chronicles had towns/villages!

Haven't played XBX tho, so perhaps that's what you're referring to.

I've seen people say that exact quote for XCX so I automatically misread your post.

 

[Darryl M R]

Sounds good. I'll give it a run this weekend.

I'm hoping Horizon actually has a bunch of fun boss fights. Trailer definitely makes it seem that way.

Spoiler

Stop acting like you play anything beside The Division

I really hope Horizon pushes the PS4 to the extreme. I want some Shadow of Col type boss fight.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

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

Definitely looks premature.

 

[Ran rp]

Don't know if someone posted this thought, but after this trailer I have a gut feeling Aloy

Spoiler

is a machine

. Seems really obvious.

Umm how?

Looks like there's a great variety of diverse locales, judging by the trailer

 

[Boke1879]

Don't see how. It's still up on the Playstation channel and blog.

 

[orochi91]

Lol, fair enough.

Though if XBX doesn't have towns/villages, then that kinda dampens my urge to play it someday, since those were critical for world-building in the original XB game.

Ayyy, music to my ears~~~

 

[The God]

So after watching the trailer again I think I echo the concerns about the writing. And unless GG is really going to throw a curveball, the trailer kinda makes the plot seem a little predictable.

Still my most anticipated game though. I just want the writing to be really strong.

 

[bombshell]

What? Nothing came from press sites. Video is from official PlayStation channel and info is from PS Blog.

 

[SolidSnakex]

It's definitely not.

That's the director, managing direction, and executive producer of Horizon. There was a video removed because Sony posted the trailer twice to their channel.

If it's obvious then why put it in spoilers and why is it just a gut feeling instead of any kind of explanation????

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Why does everyone keep comparing this game to JRPGs? Nothing about this game says JRPG. It says RPG, sure. Not really the same thing though.

Eh? I just meant in terms of cliché/hokey dialogue, not gameplay or art style or whatever.

 

[dr_rus]

Please don't fuck up the story, Guerilla. I like most of what I see otherwise.

 

[MisterR]

To be honest I would rate it closer to bad than mediocre, I'll still probably buy the game because the demo last year looked really fucking fun but I think it's a fair criticism.

The dialog was fine. It was epic summer movie spectical type trailer

 

[Quintin DM]

Delays not super surprising and honestly it's for the best. So many games are coming out this year already I wouldn't mind seeing a few more pushed to 2017 so I had time to play them all lol.

a machine that grows from a kid to adult?

 

[Jarmel]

a machine that grows from a kid to adult?

Cyborg

 

[NEO0MJ]

Oh yes, give us the boring human instead of the freaking mechanical T-Rex.

a machine that grows from a kid to adult?

Nanomachines!

 

[george_us]

Story sounds generic as fuck if the trailer is any indication.

 

[Equanimity]

The dissonance between the super serious tone and the fact that the game is about robot dinosaurs. Couple that with the bad dialogue and VA, makes it seem like the narrative won't be one to remember

The bolded is some seriously rediculous nitpicking. And what's wrong with the dialouge?

That said, the voice over needs a bit of work but it's not even close to bad.

 

[Arklite]

What happened to the overt viking character designs of the concept art? All these people look like hunter gatherers. I thought we'd be rolling with battle hammers, shiny breast plates and horn helms.

 

[mohsinkhan]

Is the collectors edition available for preorder in Canada?

 

[jacobeid]

You realize that you can play games that came out in 2016 in 2017, right?

I've never understood this mentality. That being said, the delay is expected and definitely welcomed to make a better product so I agree with you there.

I ink you might be remembering something else.

 

[comshoplesce]

wow this looks nice.

 

[dmshaposv]

Her name is Aloy, a play on Alloy - a hybrid metal.

So part human part machine.

Guerilla dun goofed revealing plot twist

 

[B.O.O.M]

Btw baby Aloy is seriously adorable. Hope we get some gameplay with her exploring too

 

[Zeuanimals]

Such a lust for more dev time.

Spoiler

Take all the time you need, GG.

how is that nitpicking? robot dinosaurs is silly as fuck.

[RespectThySole]

Eh I doubt that the writing will be great based on that. Didn't they hire New Vegas writers? Voice acting was cringey as well. Otherwise I'm hoping that this game can deliver because it sounds and looks promising in theory.

 

[wapplew]

Such a lust for more dev time.

Spoiler

Take all the time you need, GG.

This is just first delay, I'm ready for another month of delay...its first party tradition now.

 

[dmshaposv]

The trailer shows too many plot points. Especially her being 'identified' when going into the machine door.

I just put two and two together with her name. Just a theory - but it does feel like it might have significance.

If she grew up in the wild as a baby - how would the machine door recognize her? Idk, what's even going on in the story?

 

[Santar]

Horizon Zero Dawn - Aloy's Journey
Hmm, you know I think they could squeeeze in just one more subtitle in there if they really tried.
How bout Horizon Zero Dawn - Aloy's Journey: Beginnings

 

[DieH@rd]

Story sounds generic as fuck if the trailer is any indication.

Yes, post-post apocalyptic mysteries where mankind managed to survive in a world ruled by robotic animals and fall back to almost stone-age tech are totally generic as fuck...

It is no different than "Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt - The Sword of Destiny" or " Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt - A Night to Remember".

 

[Dragon1893]

Fuck me, this game looks incredible.

 

[mitx]

Looks good. Looking forward to play it.

So, besides the Last Guardian, are there any more first party games from Sony this year?

 

[nycgamer4ever]

Source? We have no idea how big or dense Horizon is.

In one the interviews after the reveal they said anything you can see you can go to.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

OK this is once again my most anticipated game slightly ahead of Mass Effect and NieR.

Hoping they show some real RPG mechanics during the gameplay demo. Hoping this is a at least a 35 to 40 hour game you can just get lost in.

I might actually buy the CE and I normally don't like statutes. LE at a minimum as the art book looks substantial compared the mini-books we have gotten lately.

Looks good. Looking forward to play it.

So, besides the Last Guardian, are there any more first party games from Sony this year?

GT Sport and Gravity Rush 2(hasn't been delayed yet anyway).

 

[balohna]

Dialogue didn't feel great, but it looks fun. I'm slightly disappointed you fight humans, was hoping it was all ridiculous robots.

 

[wapplew]

GT sport, Gravity Rush 2, New Hotshot golf.

 

[Evilkazzz]

Cant say I dig either of those bonus costumes. I love the collectors edition box art though.

I'm pretty hype/intrigued.

Why are they hunting these robots anyway? Where's the food? I dont remember seeing any real animals.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Expected delay lol

Regardless this game looks amazeballs. Can't wait to try it

 

[Acquiescence]

Sean Young was so beautiful back in the day.

 

[bombshell]

The generic criticism for almost everything these days is incredibly generic.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

So you are disappointed with variety in gameplay? That's new. From moment tribes were mentioned conflict was inevitable.
