This gameplay vid. Bruh, these visuals are insane.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Here's the intro captured with the Share feature on my PS4 Pro (my TV is not HDR, and it's only 1080p). Please quote to view.. It's still processing so it'll be up in a minute or two. EDIT: It's up.

I noticed a screen tear or two on the video that I did NOT notice while watching it live on my Pro.

Enjoy.

Looks like this has been hit by copyright claims.

 

[tiebreaker]

Video is ninja'd.

 

[comshoplesce]

the lamp: it's gone?

 

[RinsFury]

First two minutes of the intro already has me crying, damn.

It's a video showing a guy with a ugly baby which anyone would have abandoned, getting serious Chucky vibes. Beautiful stuff.

 

[vivekTO]

I have downloaded both the videos.

I told you They are among us (sony ninjas)

 

[The Lamp]

Well if the intro is ninja'd, the first gameplay is still here (quote to view).

I'm uploading both videos in full quality for download anyway. Sorry sony ninjas!

 

[Astral Dog]

>_>

It was you 😬

I'm usually one to defend tastes, but that baby/kid Aloy is ugly. With that said and my lack of interest in this setting, the more I see of it, the more I may get a PS4 for it.

 

[comshoplesce]

so beatiful, is it ok that i upload them to dailymotion?

 

[tiebreaker]

Thank you!! You are the best Lamp.

This game seems to be a big mix of everything but with a hell of a nice new coat of paint.

-Mass Effect dialogue trees and side quests
-Huntin/gathering like Tomb Raider
-Light platforming/scaling walls like Uncharted (though Aloy is much faster)
-Witcher sense for following footprints and blood trails
-one hit kill stealth takedowns like Batman or Uncharted
-Far Cry crafting system (animals needed for pouches etc)

Playing on Hard, two solid hits will kill me so I've mostly been playing the stealth route (hiding in bushes and whistling like in MGS to bring an enemy over one at a time)

oh wow, was going to start on very hard but may choose hard now. What's the challenge level compared to something like DMC, Souls or Bayonetta?

 

[LuuKyK]

Holy shit @ the young Aloy gameplay.

Decima Engine is a beast. Graphics are unreal.

Also, for those worried about the writing... these first few minutes have been perfect in that regard, from the script to the voice acting and animations. Young Aloy is so adorable.

Yeah I skim though the vid so cute.

 

[Twookie]

glad i got to see the video before it was removed

shit looks really good!

 

[TheRealTalker]

Sony is watching

they sliced that vid down already lol

 

[Raylan]

Fucking hell man. This game is awesome. I want it now!!! :<

 

[vivekTO]

Her running animation looks somewhat weird..
Good intro gameplay overall.
And somewhat puzzle section as well , good.

 

[Kuga]

Both videos looked great.

 

[piccio_ssl]

that first gameplay is hype as fuck

 

[RinsFury]

I wish you could play the entire game as young Aloy. So damn cute and adorable!

 

[FelipeMGM]

yeah intro is dead too

I agree. The decay of the old world is very interesting. It reminds me of The Last Of Us and a bit of Metroid Prime. Young Aloy is slightly creepy looking though.

 

[comshoplesce]

can someone repost intro?

 

[suedester]

Looks fantastic. My only criticism is the lack of water reaction when Aloy runs through it. Very odd oversight. I'm guessing there must be some technical reason for it.

the receiver stuck to her temple

ROBOT CONFIRMED

 

[fluffydelusions]

How long is this game supposed to be?

 

[Sangetsu-II]

can someone repost intro?

can someone repost young Aloy gameplay?

 

[Mifune]

Not the most scintillating first ten minutes of gameplay, is it?

But that's totally cool. Seems pretty engrossing and decently written. Great music!

 

[Skyo]

Both apples are gone! I repeat, both apples are gone ;(

Didnt get to see it-was on the bus home and couldnt quote on mobile..

Check here if you can.quote this post.

Both the videos in there.

Looks like the way a young kid would run imo.

I think its her hair-do. Looks weird indeed. Cute nonetheless.

Water seems to be the worst part of the engine, I agree. But to be fair it is like that in most of the engines, just look at U4.

apple 2 coming to dailymotion, how do i quote the link?

 

[More_Badass]

ROBOT CONFIRMED

It seems quite blatant

- Not supposed to interact with the ruins of the Metal World
- Rost was supposed to look after her, but not grow attached
- She isn't considered a child by the other priestesses

All signs point to her being artificial.

Loved it, blackout now.

Pre-order justified.

But the idea of an artificial being growing from a baby to adult is weird...but then again this whole game is weird. The robo dinosaurs obviously are reproducing somehow.

Yeah...I'm beginning to think that's not really the twist. Since everything points to that being the case and that being so obvious, something else is likely the real meat of the game.

One intriguing bit, was the old ones we're "without God" so to speak, could be making statements how religion is somewhat an afterthought in modern society today, but this new civilization respects creation and "mother" and get I enjoy it more fully.

It's all pretty intriguing to me

I doubt it's actual reproduction, but who knows. I think there's an automated facility still manufacturing the machines; probably controlled by an AI that was responsible for ending modern civilization.

My theory right now is that I think she might be a genetic clone / something like a replicant which was created when one of the tribesmen explored and played with equipment in one of the ruins. I would imagine that this somehow flies in the face of the particular tribes religion so she was made an outcast.

That's the best I got

The fact you keep commenting on how cute the child looks is reaching max levels of creepy just so you know.

That grape crushing...

That's a super villain origin story right there.

yup yup

kept thinking the same thing while watching it

I don't really see how that's creepy.

I like her being a flesh n bone clone, rather than an android or cyborg.
