I dont know, it seemed like she didnt open her mouth while she was talking so maybe we were just hearing her thoughts.

Looks like this might just be the game that pushes me into buying a PS4. Looks great, can't wait to see/hear more.

Would have liked some co-op personally but I can live with that.

This is open-world? Wow, my interest has skyrocketed.
I figure she'll say some stuff and they just turned it up a bit for the demo so we could get an idea of the world and her personality. When she takes down the first machine, she says sorry then explains why so the audience understands what's going on. I assume in game she'll only say "Sorry, little one".
This gives me more confidence that the game will be long enough and have enough hours of gameplay/quests for a proper RPG.
The gameplay does look pretty well suited to co-op play though, so maybe it's something they could add in a sequel once they've got a solid foundation laid.
First thing that came to mind.
I thought it looked an awful lot like Vancouver, to be honest.
A belief that was reinforced when the lights out scene with the globe spin ended over the island itself.
Probably not considering it very clearly takes place on earth.

This game looks so damn good. No MP and open world should guarantee a day-one purchase. Really looking forward to learn more about Horizon.
If you watch the initial trailer, that's EXACTLY what they're discussing.
Was hoping for 3 player co-op based on the concept art leaked, but oh well.

Is it an RPG?

This game was a pleasant surprise. I'm very interested. First big western game not made by Retro Studios that has caught my eye.
But, that's just a first impression. I don't like very strong violence (committed on other people in particular) and lots of cussing/swearing.
Heroine did say the 'D' word once, but I don't want the occasional slip to bother me. But if it becomes too frequent and throws in a lot of the 'S' and 'F' bombs, then yeah, game won't be for me as I won't be able to identify with the character (talking about the heroine, specifically). That's fine, it's rare for these kind of games to appeal to me. But hey, I'll keep my hopes up for now.
Oh yeah, I agree. It also felt weird because she was talking to herself .

No MP is fine by me. Makes me feel they have a really fleshed out world prepared. If they nail it however, i fully expect some sort of co-op in a sequel.

Yes, open world Action/Adventure RPG. Day/Night cycles, Dynamic weather system (wonder if they are sharing DriveClub tech?)

Hey GAF!
Mark Norris, Senior Producer on Horizon Zero Dawn here. I just wanted to say thanks so much for the kind words from many of you on the thread here so far, and that some of your questions (but definitely not all!) will be answered over the course of the next couple days.
One thing I can confirm for you is that every single shot in the demo video was taken from in-game, and those locations are discoverable over the course of your journey.
I'll let you get back to the regularly scheduled speculation
Nice to see you here, Mark
. Easily game of the show, say hello to your designers/concept artists , they rock.
Stay true to your vision, don't read gaf too much
.Yeah I don't mind it much as long as it's not repetitive.

Watched it again.
Jaw remains on the floor. Incredible show.
And people wonder why I clamor for a technically astounding Monster Hunter title. The level of detail in the machines is downright insane. The style of the character model is outstanding. Love the flowing red dreads and the fur clothing. Love the weapon designs ad the enemy modeling. Seriously. This is downright flawless for a first impression
Do we know the voice actor? Was also very well done.

Good. I would be OK with it, but don't shoehorn it in for a bullet point and mess up the core experience.
My belief is that the chatter will occur naturally in play, but it was concentrated/exaggerated for the purpose of the demo. Again, these demos need to be so brief, so they're very orchestrated, very condensed. The battle itself was likely condensed too.
The chatter will probably also increase, obviously, when you're actively engaged in a quest with your current actions.
I'm totally fine with it. In Winter, in The Last of Us, Ellie talks to herself the whole time, and it completely works. It added immensely to it.
It looked like it was amped up for the show.
It is certainly a far more exciting way to introduce game mechanics than a tutorial with popups. I hope they continue with that idea.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
This is a very good Q. I'm a HUGE fan of KZ Melee so would love for more weapons/options for melee combat in this game.
Also is co-op considered to be multiplayer? Because I think co-op might be pretty rad.

We do not know full details, but over the next couple of days more things will be revealed.
This is exciting...

Easily my most anticipated game announced at E3 (and game of the show for me). The artwork and blend of nature and machine is god tier. Let your art team know between the designs in KZ:SF and this, they are pure wizards.
Runners up for me now are The Last Guardian, Uncharted 4, and Battlefront of course.

I no longer have the time to git gud at multiplayer... totally welcome the SP only news. Now GG can focus on the game instead of two halves of a game (SP & MP).

We know there are multiple tribes and they show some of their town in the trailer. And we know they hire witcher3 quest designer. No idea about leveling system yet.

The trailer showed towns and it's very likely there will be plenty of quests with the main campaign. No idea about the level system
Some have speculated leveling is based off of gear like monster hunter

Hope there's character customisation, ala Geralt.

I hope this has a fully-developed melee combat system. At the moment it looks like a third-person shooter.

Sony had a direct answer for everything MS threw at it.
Halo was answered with this.
Tomb Raider with Uncharted.
Its a great time to be a gamer I want to play them all.

No MP is a little disappointing only because it means no coop.
Which is honestly the only request I have for a sequel.

I can't stop watching the reveal trailer and listening to the music.
This is gonna be the standard for game reveals. In-engine cut scene into a bit of gameplay.
Hopefully other Song studios who have yet to reveal their games follow suit.

Yes! Focus on a brilliant story driven experience, how refreshing in 2015
It's like your favourite restaurant. You've been there a thousand times, but when they update the menu it always has the chance to impact you. Sometimes they take away a great dessert and you feel sad, but other times they add fantastic new dishes that you totally love. But at the end of the day it's still the same place you've been a thousand times.
And you know what? I think that's okay.
OT: Any new info from the Gamespot thing?
Damn, now everyone sees that I edited my post. Can't believe I wrote MW3.
Each to their own, I guess.
Bummer. Yet they have various promotional artwork with 3 or even 4 hunters taking down a robot-dinosaur? What's the point then :/
Not really a dealbreaker for me but it severely hamper down my hype.
Does people separate coop from MP? Isn't coop a specific form of multiplayer?
Well it's good that they don't have competitive multiplayer since this kind of game only benefit from coop multiplayer.
