Way too many triple A games nowadays put a focus on spectacle and gameplay over story. Kinda worried Horizon will get poor reviews.

The story is pretty much the easiest thing to mess up.

I actually don't think many AAA games put gameplay above story, it's just more difficult to tell a good story. But GG has been hiring in that regard, so we shouldn't write the whole game off just because of that one trailer (which imo wasn't even bad) like some people seem to have done.

Who's writing it off?

Reason I made the comment was because the behind the scenes video put emphasis on things besides story.

When that story trailer was released before E3 a lot of people were starting to moan about how generic the story seems etc.

Horizon Zero Dawn Game Informer Coverage Trailer (Video) : PS4

Noice!!

And the cover art

- GI was surprised at the depth of the game, how intelligent the AI is, and how fluid the controls are
- You can craft different outfits to change Aloy's appearance
- Aloy has 3 different skill trees that you can put level up points into. They are Prowler (Stealth), Brave (Damage focus), and Forager (Resource Gathering)
- Aloy can find modifications when she defeats enemies that can be slotted into her weapons and armor. These affect things such as stats and give buffs
-Guerrilla wanted to make a game that's "Beautiful in a majestic way" instead of the grit of Killzone. They wanted to create a world you wanted to be in, instead of escape from.
-Work on Horizon began in 2010
- Horizon has its own engine. Not the same as Shadowfall
- GI saw settings in desert, arctic, and temperate environments. Saw machines that will hide in the water.
- Guerrilla promises why the world got this way will be answered. Also say "this is a sci-fi game and that they won't depend on fantasy at any point.
- The various tribes are radically different including how they feel about the machines. Some of them believe the machines becoming more violent is punishment from the gods.
- You aren't recruiting different tribes to your cause but they will sell you different gear and have their own side quests and storylines
- Aloy is most concerned with finding her origin, and most importantly who her mother was
- She has been raised in the Nora Tribe, but the tribe completely ignores her existence. For reasons she doesn't know they seem to shun her.
- The Nora are ruled by women, Matriarchs
- Aloy was raised by another outcast named Rost, who didn't do it of his own will. The Tribe forced him
- Rost is stern and overprotective but only wants the best for Aloy / Father figure
- There are playable flashbacks of Aloy's childhood
- There are Hunter Trials which are essentially Big Game Hunts / Hunter's Guild
- A flying enemy called a d Glinthawk can throw ice bombs
There are "Corruption Zones" which are areas of the map filled with dangerous enemies. Some of the biggest fights in the game can be found in these zones
- There are lots of sidequests but don't expect them to be as expansive as The Witcher
- Screenshots show a large Hermit Crab type enemy.

So much hype for this game

thats disappointing.

[Dr. Pezus]

thats disappointing.

Well Witcher's sidequest can be extremely intricate. Can't really expect that for this.

i was hoping for such. witcher side quests are just amazing. deep and interesting side quests really make a difference when it comes to open world games.

4K goodness.
