Simply superb. Hope they release an extended play-through video as well.

Aloy-Boyfriend3218d ago

I'm hoping Sony will do another PSX this year and show us more. They still have many unannounced Ips too.

also, I hope Guerrilla has a playable demo on Gamescom. I wanna see what people think about it and how it feels/plays

criticalkare3218d ago

Didn't Sony said PSX is yearly thing now?

Genuine-User3218d ago (Edited 3218d ago )

I'm sure we'll have another PSX this year. Was it not a huge success last year?

I don't think they'll have a playable demo for Horizon until at least PSX.

GiroSoul3218d ago

Expect more things from Sony at the Paris Game Week.

uptownsoul3218d ago

This has a 2016 release right? Well looks like PS4 will have back to back Best New IP's with Bloodborne in 2015 and HorizonZD in 2016…CAN'T WAIT

NewMonday3218d ago

anybody notice Aloy is different ages in the trailer

unlike the majority of games with generic 3D models the character design in Horizon is great, really gives character and personalty, something straight out of the ND design book, it's easier to feel this is a real person.

also the world textures are remarkable,, and the AA is super smooth(something consistent in all PS4 1st party games so far )

Maddens Raiders3218d ago (Edited 3218d ago )

Looks cool as hell. But it also makes me want a new KILLZONE that looks like this too dammit.

Clive_Bixby3211d ago

Sony won't be at Gamescom

Was the surprise of E3 and looks to be the best new IP.

nicksetzer13218d ago

Not even close, this was the best game shown at E3 new ip or not IMO. Very excited.

oasdada3218d ago

Amazing game. Im just waiting for an uncompressed version of the video

Aloy-Boyfriend3218d ago (Edited 3218d ago )

Love the soundtrack, the graphics, and the gameplay. Goddamn Guerrilla games. you are in for a threat. Don't screw this up please!

Spotie3218d ago

Did you see that beast? We're in for a serious threat, as well.

SmokingMonkey3218d ago (Edited 3218d ago )

That Dino Damage!

https://burndownblog.files....

"Mixture of Elements" < key words me thinks.

Kleptic3218d ago (Edited 3218d ago )

haha awesome. My grandmother bought that for me as a kid around when the movie came out.

This sounds crazy...but I ended up marrying one of my childhood friend's younger sisters last summer (don't judge, she's 30 now, and i just turned 32 haha). My wife is pregnant, and my brother in law's wife just had a baby earlier this winter. My father in law (her, and my friend's dad) just revamped the sandbox we all used to play in as kids...and just last weekend i found a piece of that T-Rex's body parts in the toy box thing they kept for all our random action figures.

Almost positive it was mine, from when i was like 9 years old. Can't find the rest of it, though...it was slightly charred, as we used to burn those toys with gasoline...again, don't judge...

SmokingMonkey3218d ago (Edited 3218d ago )

Don't Judge Morty.

You dropped your Dino Damage.

gijsbrecht3218d ago

My most anticipated game of 2016. At least, I hope GG can have it finished by then. But if they need some more time, then so be it. I want this game to be as awesome as possible.

obmas3218d ago

will probably be delayed to 2017

Jaqen_Hghar3218d ago

and you base that on absolutely nothing

LamerTamer3218d ago (Edited 3218d ago )

And get a big graphics downgrade.

The trailer looked too good for a console game. It looks like it was running on a high end "development" PC.

Haru3217d ago

@LamerTamer

It's alright you're confuding Sony with Microsoft, they specified at the begging of the trailer that it's running on a ps4 : )

LamerTamer3217d ago (Edited 3217d ago )

@Haru

This gen I don't trust anything. All you need to do is look at almost any Ubisoft game, (WatchDogs) and the Witcher 3. Also remember the phony PS3 "Killzone 2" E3 reveal that was really pre-rendered CGI? The old e3 footage bait and switch is all to common these days. Show amazing video of something not the game running on actual target hardware, puff up pre-orders, then make excuses later (No downgrade, it is YouTube compression LOL).

It may be true that it comes out looking just as good, and I hope it does, but I will believe it when I see it.

The super-genius George Bush once said: Fool me once..Shame on.. you, Fool me twice.. we don't get fooled again.

xTheMercenary_3217d ago

@LamerTamer How could you say this game looks too good for a console. Have you not seen the recent Uncharted 4 trailer?? that game looks phenomenal, i mostly game on pc and Uncharted 4 hands down annihilates anything i've seen on pc so far. Makes me think what Naughty Dog could do with a high end pc, would like to see what they could achieve but unfortunately they're only a PS developer.

pedrof933217d ago

@lamertamer

Remember the cgi killzone 2 trailer ?

Do you remember how the game turned out to be ?

Yeah. 10x Better.

DF Weekly: Do we actually need The Last of Us Part 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn remasters?

With the details we now have in terms of features and pricing, I don't think there are any significant concerns remaining - just that perhaps that the term 'remastered' in the title is a little misplaced. Essentially, what we're dealing with here is broadly equivalent to a release along the lines of Death Stranding: Director's Cut. It's the original game with a dash of extra content and additional visual modes that tap into the power of PlayStation 5.

-Foxtrot145d ago

Bloodborne, Infamous, Killzone, Resistance, Puppeteer, Jak and Daxter etc are all better choices

Even a full on remake of Drakes Fortune I’d take

PrinceOfAnger145d ago

killzone 2/3 definitely a better choice, i have recently finished the games on pc and thought about that, a full remake like demon souls is even better

darthv72144d ago

2&3 are still fine... I'd take the first one as a full remake before the others. They could flesh out more of the backstory that the sequels touch on. Even go deeper into the lore of Helgan.

specialguest144d ago

KZ 2/3 would be amazing. KZ 2 was a graphical masterpiece back then. With today's modern tech, all of those tricks Guerilla Games did to create the effects like the lighting, storm effects, etc, they could now be done in real-time and more realistic

Cacabunga144d ago

Killzone 2-3
Golden Abyss remake
Infamous 2

RaidenBlack145d ago

Uncharted 1 still got a decent remaster for 8th gen ... a remake is not that much of a requirement ...
instead remake candidates should be from 5th or 6th gen
and as for proper remasters (not just lazy res upscale): Killzone 2 & 3 obviously and also Resistance/inFamous (as well as MGS4 :P)

-Foxtrot144d ago

My point with the list is that I’d rather see those titles than what we are getting…titles which are only 3-5 years old and still hold up today

CrashMania144d ago

Sony own the Demons Souls and Bloodborne IP, I wish they'd do something with Bloodborne at the very least.

vfl523144d ago

The way you worded that makes me think you don't realize they already remade demon souls

144d ago
GamingSinceForever144d ago

Not one of those will sell more copies than TLOU2 Remaster. The sooner we realize that these gaming sites and their followers are less than 1% of the buying public the better off we’ll be.

Sure we prefer newer titles but this is business and a business is what Sony is running.

JackBNimble144d ago

Don't you think they could be doing something better with their time and money, like maybe making something new? Or have they become lazy and just reliving the past with the same old games over and over.

Gez ... do something fresh and new already .

notachance144d ago

I'd rather for them to go Square Enix route and remake/remaster their PS1 libraries instead of these unnecessary remaster

come on, legend of dragoon..

Gamingsince1981144d ago

What's with the "need" anyway ? This is video games, no one needs them at all, we need water , we need air, we don't need games.

Barlos144d ago

I would love a remake/remaster of KZ1. For its time it really pushed the PS2 hard and because of that it had a few issues. This is begging to be given the Bluepoint touch and brought up to date. I'd love to see an updated Killzone trilogy collection for sure.

Yi-Long144d ago

Sony killed the game and the studio behind it, but a Remaster of the excellent Driveclub would absolutely be my favorite release if it happened. Just a delicious racing game.

FinalFantasyFanatic144d ago (Edited 144d ago )

So many better choices, I can't fathom why reasonably recent games are getting picked over Classics that are more deserving.

Duke19144d ago

Nope. But HD remasters are an easy cash grab that the masses shovel cash for because while they complain about remakes, they still buy them

PRIMORDUS144d ago

Not if they release on a platform that never received the original in the first place like PC.

46player144d ago

No complaint here, I want the updated graphics.

Ra3030144d ago

My thoughts on this is do we need Richard Leadbetter's or Digital Foundry's opinion on anything........ever? I know I don't they do nothing for me and never have.

specialguest144d ago

You may not, but tons of people do since the video has 4,700 Likes to 112 Dislikes

Chocoburger144d ago

That guy is a buffoon, DF Direct is the best gaming podcast around. I look forward to it every week.

BehindTheRows144d ago

By that same token, some may not NEED remasters, while others may/do.

Amplitude144d ago (Edited 144d ago )

DF videos are typically absolutely amazing game reviews first and foremost. They have great intros, explain the mechanics well, tell you if they enjoyed it or not (I usually vibe well with John's games personally), and then they have the best tech breakdowns of a game's performance which is very very important to me. I want to know what settings to run at on PC, and on PS5 I wanna know if the 60fps mode runs well or not because if it doesn't... well I'll just get it on PC (If it isn't completely broken there too). DF Retro is also always unbelievably interesting and super well edited and inspired my YouTube channel which just crossed 1200 subs (wooo!). They helped me a lot with understanding game development and got me interested in goofing around with game engines and PC building in general back in the day.

I don't mean any offence by this but you sound like somebody who skims their analysis videos, selectively scrolls to the stats, says "who cares?", and then closes it. Or possibly somebody who watches (stolen) cut clips on TikTok? Even if you are somehow unaffected by blurry images and fluctuating frame rates (some people are and I envy you) I recommend watching a full DF episode one day. They're extremely interesting and I watch literally all of them even if I have no interest in the game.

Joris de Man on composing music for the Horizon series

In the video game industry, where visual design and game mechanics typically grab the limelight, the significance of music in enhancing the overall gaming experience is often underestimated. Music can be a key component in the player’s emotional connection with a game. It amplifies emotional impact, heightens tension, and can be a powerful driver of narrative. We’ve had the chance to speak to Joris de Man, a renowned Dutch composer best known for his work on the Killzone series, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and its sequel Horizon: Forbidden West. During the Game Access conference in Brno, we talked about the process of composing music for video games and how he created the harmonies that have shaped some of our most beloved gaming experiences.

Sonic1881310d ago (Edited 310d ago )

To keep using him as the music composer in their games.

ChronoJoe310d ago

Joris seems like a great guy. I spoke to him briefly once about how much I loved his music and he was really friendly/humble.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor350d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar350d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg349d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149349d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138350d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim350d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC350d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138350d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle350d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76350d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730350d ago (Edited 350d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger349d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca350d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy350d ago (Edited 350d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal350d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright350d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
