Why do people keep trying to compare this to Zelda? It makes no sense

Probably not no? Cauldrons look visually interesting but what they offer isn't the same as a Zelda Dungeon.

And an RPG. Yeah these guys are wizards.
Yup. This is good now. Now we just need the game.

Let them keep doing it. It only helps Horizon by being associated with it.

Yeah, maybe something like a prediction thread so people can do more of the "great graphics but..." stuff lol.

One of the previews I read said the cauldron they went into was pretty huge.

I'll take your word for it.

Do you have a Pro by chance? If so, then It would be awesome if you took a look at how the game runs and looks on Pro and what modes there are. Just a 4K mode or also a 1080p mode with improved graphics? And what exactly is improved of course.

I see what you're saying but, it also promotes a weird "Us Versus Them" mentality amongst the forum. Both titles are trying different approaches to the open world archetype of game design. Both can be good for different reasons. No need to put them in a console warrior battle against each other. Not saying you are doing this at all! Just wish for both games to be able to coexist and be celebrated for their unique positive qualities. I, for one, will be playing both this year and look forward to each for different reasons. ]
On topic, the cauldrons look really great. Not at all what I had pictured in my mind but I'm excited to dig into them. I like that they aren't trying to ape Zelda's dungeons with these and are going for their own gameplay flavor. Like some other posters in here, I hope the platforming proves difficult during these sections.
I do have a pro, but just a 1080p tv.

Looks like you've got some broken links there chum.
That's fine.
There was confusion if there was:
a) Just a 4K mode (which will be downsampled on HDTVs) plus better shadows and anisotropic filtering.
b) A 4K mode (which will be downsampled on HDTVs) but without any other improvements and a 1080p mode with better shadows and anisotropic filtering.
You could give us clarification regarding that no matter what TV you have.

1.)Is it really a RPG?
2.)How many trees?
3.)Are Aloy's hands an appropriate size?
4.)How much of a Ubisoft game is this Ubisoft game?
Oh, absolutely. I agree with you. I just know others are going to do it regardless.

1) Do machines interact with eachother out in the wild?
2) Is the combat as good as it's been said?
3) Is the world interesting to explore?
4) The pacing more story-driven than the usual open world game?
What happens when you attack a Tallneck?

I've been paying attention to all the media coming through on this game, and for a console experience it looks pretty good.
Sure it's Faux-K, but at this point the vast majority of HDTV owners aren't even capable of viewing its highest resolution. And I don't think that Sony is attempting to lure anyone away from Mid/High-end PC gaming with the PS4 Pro. I've personally been gaming in true 4K at home (rendering native 5K), so seeing games like this actually just reinforces my decision to move away from consoles. To each their own, though, some people don't care about that sort of difference in visual fidelity. And at the end of the day, gameplay matters every bit as much.
But 1-2 years from now the landscape will certainly change. And I'm quite curious to see how PS4 Pro games stack up to what Project Scorpio will be capable of bringing at that point.

Does it matter? these games still have to run on base hardware so you're not getting a huge leap in graphics on a Scorpio.
This.

I haven't seen the final product running on my PS4 Pro and 4k hdr tv yet but I have a beast rig and I'm having a hard time coming with a game (open world or not) that looks as good as Horizon ZD right now.
Releasing near the same time.
Both exclusives.
Both very ambitious for a first-party title.
Both have a focus on nature mixed with technology.
Both have dungeons.
There's a lot different about them, but they are similar enough at face value.
And I thought I was the only one ;D Good old (vanilla) WoW.

Yeah, I also disagree with him. Witcher doesn't look as impressive as this overall on any platform...I think that is pretty unequivocal. [And I think W3 looks totally awesome by the way]
Whhaaaattt? The Witcher 3 on pc at 1440p looks amazing even more so in 4k. Dont get too hyped up heheh. Graphically Horizon looks awesome but i dont think its gonna touch the level of detail on W3 PC.

Oh hey that's the thread I made that got locked
. Some of that info's a bit outdated (Horizon's Stealth is actually based on movement speed and LoS and the Cauldrons seem to have some basic puzzles) but I think I got quite a bit right overall in how Guerrilla seemed to have approached the game.

I hope this isn't true...ffxv's world was boring af, horizon on the other hand looks amazingly fun.

^ This. Witcher 3 on PC is drop dead gorgeous. Alternative take for me though, everything I've seen of Horizon looks more impressive to me than my time with W3. Largely due to the cohesiveness of the world and art design. Though there are definitely areas in Witcher 3, that if that level of fidelity and art design was consistently applied to the entire game would elevate that games visuals considerably.
