HZD is my game of this gen. This is everything I wanted and I loved the trailer. Those underwater sequences were mind-blowing.
The more I watch the trailer the more hyped I get... definitely my most anticipated game right now. This is going to be so incredible. Can't wait for the first gameplay deep dive.
Sure, but not at launch. A popular theory is that they are releasing the first on PC to get people interested in the sequel and a PS5. So a potential PC port might be years later.
I'm going to be optimistic and say 1 year to 18 months later...since the PC port is due this summer they seem to want to go all in with multiplatform support...
I hope it is. I wanna fight a metal devil in the water, they're a perfect stand in for a kraken, so long as there's some glitch that prevents them from having their full capabilities.
Stoked to finally see this game! I admit the 'Forbidden West' looks way different than what I was imagining, but it's super pretty and I'm excited to see it all the same! I hope it's not all California and we get to explore up north a little, too. Wanna see what happens to the rest of the west coast. :3c
I'm both excited and apprehensive about underwater levels -- they can be super beautiful but also super janky lol.
Also damn ppl saying this was all in-engine? I totally thought most of it was CGI. Bet the final product is gonna look absolutely insane! Really excited to see what the gameplay for this is gonna be like, too.

California + PNW would be the dream. Not if its going to be so compact that it feels fake though. I don't want to be able to walk from Seattle to SF in 15 mintues lol.
I'm not sure releasing AAA games like HZD on PC will get people to buy a PS5...if anything it'll get more PC gamers to be patient and wait for the games to eventually come to PC
Yes, that's more like it. After rewatching in detail the 4K version it's true there are some noticeable LOD changes. But then there are other scenes where the quality is much higher.
It may be a lot of staged scenes in-engine with retouch on top.
They didn't put that typical "this has been captured in-engine in realtime on a PS5" though...
People aren't really expecting this to be aiming for launch window are they? No chance in hell imo.
Biomes are completely different in this world so I wonder if the PNW would look like the PNW. I also wanna see how their 1000 year old ruins of Seattle looks compared to TLOU2's.
No way, they've been working on it for 3 years but I think this is at least fall 2021 or something.
Since Frozen Wilds at least. So a long time. Probably Summer 2021 if i had to guess.
Horizon 1 finished in 2017, but the team probably started conceptualizing this game atleast a year before this game launches. So kinda 3-4 years. Horizon 1 released 4 years after Killzone SF too, but it was in development for a few years longer overall. That extra development being necessary for conceptualizing a new IP likely isn't necessary now so maybe there's a chance?
Edit: Forgot about the Frozen Wilds.
No, that message didn't say "in-engine" or "realtime", wonder why...
that sounds terrifying lol
I struggle with underwater stuff. Even the snapmaw's will creep me out
Human AI and the melee combat were my bigest pet peeves with the first one, so I hope they improve those aspects.
Otherwise, still hoping for flying mechanic.

Well you're the type of person to show up to an Area 51 protest, so I don't really wonder why.
Hyped though I was hoping they would change up Aloy's design. It would be cool if she incorporated something into her look to honor her mother.

Not even the 4k trailers will stream above potato quality for me. I am DYING to see this on my 4KTV properly
