Iambaytor Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 "Ugh, some other fucking open world fantasy.... wait, it's post-apocalyptic? Fuck yeah, I am there!" This honestly looks like it could go either way, but it looks interesting at least. I'm definitely getting a PS4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newtype Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The project, which began back in 2011 and really ramped up production after the launch of Killzone: Shadow Fall, looks to be the most ambitious game Guerrilla has ever worked on. According to the studio, the single-player, completely open-world (meaning that anywhere you see, you can go) action-RPG falls halfway on the spectrum between the action-oriented open world games that Ubisoft has been producing for the past 7 years, and the most RPG-focused adventures that Bethesda works on. You play as Aloy, the woman who was featured front and center in the reveal footage. Looking like something ripped straight out of Pixar’s Brave, she has a special bond with the mechanical beasts that she hunts. Guerrilla stressed that Aloy isn’t just a murderer – the way she connects with the raptor-esque Watcher when she performs a stealth kill shows the sort of relationship she has with the inhabitants of the crumbled world around her. Throughout Horizon, you’ll be leveling up Aloy, crafting new items with the various materials you scavenge across the world, and visiting a King’s Landing-looking city that seems to be a safe haven from the machines that roam the wild. Guerrilla showed us a piece of concept art that featured a sun-baked city filled with a bustling marketplace and even some robo dogs that were just hanging around and not eating anybody. I can imagine collecting contracts, meeting other characters, and trading in my loot back at this hub. Of course, as far as the core combat goes, Horizon seems to deliver an incredibly intense experience. Watching Aloy set up a series of tripwires across two tall rocks, scaring a group of Grazers into running off, and seeing them set off the bombs and get completely blown apart showcased the neat sandbox elements that Guerrilla promised throughout Horizon. When it came to fighting the big hulking dino at the end of the demo, watching her target specific armor plates, shoot them off with her armor-piercing arrows, and attack the weaker core with a barrage of fire arrows cued us in to just how deep each of these massive encounters could be.

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 That looked awesome and all, but Monster Hunter is the only Monster Hunter done right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 I can't for the life of me get into Monster Hunter. I hope this game has nothing in common with it mechanics-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keth Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'm nearing the end of this one and I fucking love this game. The world is gorgeous and story is very well done. It has a really interesting viewpoint on religion and its implications, and one's realization of its bullshit. Plus robot battle are ALWAYS intense as hell, forcing you to use new weapons in each encounter and figure out new weaknesses and strategies. The game borrows alot from other games, not unlike Darksiders. You've got your dialog wheels, collection quests, tower climbs for map unlocks, crafting. It is especially reminiscent of The Witcher 3, which I honestly am not a big fan of. But I feel like this one gets the open world right here without throwing a bunch of distractions at you. Looking forward to finishing it to see how everything plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keth Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Just finished this one! Underwhelming ending, but overall the game was a blast. Just fantastic gameplay and a beautiful world. Parts of the story are really cool amd others are very meh. Some people's mileage may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
