This is new. I just noticed that there's an interactive hologram Aloy can use and she called in some mines. I thought the mines were coming from the giant machine turtle.

This hologram interface wasn't in the first game.

It also shows her using this thing to kind of fast travel between scenes, I wonder if this is a hint at something similar to Ratchet traveling between realms.

Diablos · Dec 10, 2021

Simply cannot wait. Hellblade 2 and HZD: FW were the most visually striking games of the show. Horizon however is the best looking upcoming game thus far, imo.

MentalZer0 · Dec 10, 2021

Can't f wait for this game

ShadowGP · Dec 10, 2021

DAY ONE for me but i will say it. I don't want any more trailers. I have seen enough.

What a shitty trailer, they're doing a terrible job advertising this.

I think that is just a smart scene transition for the trailer, they wanted to show us a wide range of machines and environments with combat/traversal.

This trailer was kinda underwhelming for me. New robots and new outfits were revealed but not much shown for how they've improved the world design.

We've already seen a lot of that and it was showcased in this trailer in small parts. Being able to swim, the grappling hook, the more nuanced freeform style climbing (not shown off in this trailer) and so on.

I love this one. How cool would it be if you can ride these guys underwater?

Kiro · Dec 10, 2021

Definitely not seamless fast travel. It's a PS4 game, and Ratchet was not. This can't be done in PS4 like the gif may suggest. As others have said, editting to show more variety.

but what about the rest of the world tho? are the cauldrons back? are there gonna be bandit camps again? are the robo dino spawns gonna be less frequent and clustered together so that traversing the world feels more natural? how about the quest design? are the quest objectives gonna rely on waypoints again or will it be more like botw/ac valhalla?

Looks like fancy editing, not fast travel.

Go watch the trailer again. That's not fast travel, it's a transition from one bit of footage to the next. The trailer does it between every scene.

yeah that's clearly a weapon wheel thing

I feel like several of those things are a given just by the very nature of open world design. Bandit camps and cauldrons especially. They don't appear to be reinventing the wheel with this game. They're fixing things that didn't work, adding things that were needed and streamlining others that needed tweaking. Its going to be a much larger better version of the original so go by that aka don't expect BotW.

EarthPainting · Dec 10, 2021

Wasn't that into the first Horizon, but man those monster designs never fail to impress.

Dussck · Dec 10, 2021

Looks fantastic, the machines look way better and especially their weakpoints are now more readable. I think this might be really good, it seems like they pretty much improved upon everything from the first game.

NediarPT88 · Dec 10, 2021

Regarding that "fast travel" hologram, it's actually a mine attack, seems useful to zone out enemies. Modiz already mentioned here:

VeryNicePerson said:
Snow : Looks like a variant of the Clawstriders (same animation as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izJMyw-OWAk)
Desert : Based on Ankylosaurus maybe

Yeah at first I thought they were clawstriders but then noticed their bodies are a bit different and are partially on fire.

The desert one seems like a good guess.

Will be hard to nail the mystery around the story in the second game though. Curious what direction this goes. I hope it can deliver again. Horizon has some of my favorite stories of last gen.

ForoBud · Dec 10, 2021

Can't wait to play this.

First game was fun, but it had one of the best told stories I've ever experienced in a game. Really interested to see where they take it next.

AngelOFDeath · Dec 10, 2021

That red outfit ooo weee

Egida · Dec 10, 2021

Still waiting for some in deep gameplay trailer. This far Elden Ring got it beaten imo.
Red armor looks ace tho.

There's still quite a bit of mystery just from events from the previous game. For example, who sent the mysterious code that woke up Hades? 🤔

It was a good appetizer or course, but there's some new stuff even in this new short trailer. Show more weapons/gadgets, elaborate on human combat and traversal, other biomes... Idk.

Going to be pretty disappointed if there isn't a wide variety of bots to override

Really though if I got my way this would be a mech game.

Honestly I think it's a Ted Faro clone.

Yeah, i'm expecting another Horizon specific SoP before its release. The one we got earlier this year wasn't your traditional game specific SoP in that it was really just a gameplay demo while game specific SoP's tend to have developers go into mechanics and story.

nah, itll be Ted Faro himself. He's all hooked up to life support in his underground pyramid. Sobek mentioned he was building an underground pyramid to basically do who knows what. I bet he's dying and is spiteful of what Sobek did, so he wants to do it his way now.

SolidSnakex · Dec 10, 2021

I hope the red outfit has good perks attached to it

That would be a wild ass twist. Whew. Can't wait to see where they take this.

Might want to read some of the blog entries, all listed here: https://blog.playstation.com/author/bodevries/.

This one talks about some of the combat, AI, and design changes: https://blog.playstation.com/2021/12/06/horizon-forbidden-west-outsmart-your-enemies/

Not sure how much more there is to say on traversal other than the grappling hook + glider additions but there is an entry for that: https://blog.playstation.com/2021/10/25/horizon-forbidden-west-master-aloys-new-abilities/

World updates: https://blog.playstation.com/2021/11/22/horizon-forbidden-west-an-authentic-world/

I feel like they've shown plenty through trailers, events, and blog posts. Maybe expanding more on the world itself + story before launch is really all thats necessary.

Smoolio · Dec 10, 2021

That new Melee combat, Yes! Now I just need romance choices and my two wishes are complete, (don't @ me)

But what was up with the part where she used an AR interface? Looked like she was time traveling.

I'm curious to know if that's an In game selector.

If you slow down the video on YT to 0.25 speed you can easily see the mines appearing.

This will definitely be my first PS5 game whenever I can get the console!

MegaSackman · Dec 10, 2021

So:

Monkeylike machines.
Armadillos
Plesiosaurus
King Cobra
Raptors (where those clawstriders?)

Any other new machine I'm missing?

So they'll be following the same route the first one did, they're gonna spoil almost every machine and abilities and I'm gonna watch all of it.
