Horizon: Zero Dawn Dev Talks Delay and Why It Chose a Female Hero

Killzone developer Guerrilla Games' PlayStation 4 RPG Horizon: Zero Dawn was one of the standout titles of E3 2016 last week. It's a hugely different game than the developer's well-known Killzone FPS franchise, and, based on a demo we played at E3, it's one to watch.

GameSpot caught up with director Mathijs de Jonge to discuss the game's recently announced delay to 2017 and why it chose a female protagonist.

Not worried about a delay, I'm a huge fan of the devs and know they'll make the right move every time.

Me too. Delay doesn't bother me as long as the finish product reflects that delay.

So far, Horizon looks amazing and damn if it isn't the most beautiful game on a console at this time.

Female protagonists are okay but please make a more polished face for old man's dream's sake!
Be like a Capcom or a fromsoftware or even Sony Japan Studios. Even CD Projekt RED understands this and they are a western studio!

andrewsquall3284d ago

I think he means CD Projeckt Red females are more Polish looking.Which actually makes sense.
Unless he did in fact mean to sound completely retarded and make no sense, like the two of you picked up on. :)

He doesn't like the look of Aloy because she doesn't seem as feminine or as pretty as the female characters in other games. Lmao, I know what this pervery is saying ;)

I'm okay with a delay.. This is prolly my most antipated game right now. But, I don't own a PS4 yet, and wont until the Neo is either released or all specs, price and release date is reveled. So, take your time Guerilla.

I'm super excited for Horizon. Its my 2nd most anticipated game of 2017, right behind Detroit, from Quantic Dream. God, please let Detroit release in 2017, lol.

I'm glad Guerrilla games has delayed Horizon. Its a new IP, which is going a completely different route from anything Guerrilla games has done before. They should take all the time needed to achieve their vision for Horizon & do justice to Aloy, as a character & her story.

Guerrilla games has something special with Horizon: Zero Dawn. I can feel it =)

I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.

$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????

1nsomniac16h ago

Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!

peppeaccardo6h ago

i mean for a piece of slightly redesigned plastic with the same take of the last few years this has written GREED all over it ! Shame on Nintendo.

OMNlPOTENT2h ago

It's $85. The standard Dualsense is $75. The Dualsense Edge (Playstation Pro controller) is $200. The Xbox Elite (Xbox Pro controller) is also $200. How exactly is $85 so drastically insane compared to those prices?

Neonridr2h ago

the battery lasts like 10 times as long as a dualsense though.

The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.

Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.

The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.

Best controller I’ve ever used I even like more than my dual sense edge

UltimateOwnage6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Having used Dual Sense, Pro Controller 1, and 8BitDo Ultimate extensively, I am pretty much in love with Pro Controller 2. The easy reassignment on the grip buttons is such a big plus, but the soft edge joysticks are the best feeling sticks of any controller I’ve ever used. It’s really an awesome controller. The HD Rumble 2 also finally has some thud and the headphone jack is great with a pair of good phones. It’s worth the slight price increase IMO.

Profchaos45m ago

The pro controller 2 for me has the best weight and size it fits the hand perfect like the duelshock 4 did imo

I actually dislike the duelsense controller because of its size but the features are amazing on it.

Still as for the pro 2 no analog triggers is surprisingly something I dont actually miss

PRIMORDUS12h ago

I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂

Very good dev length for a AAA/AA game I'd say. Companies need to set an aim for this range. 1-2 is too little, I believe 3-4 is perfect. Any more is too much. Games don't need to be these gigantic games full of a crazy amount of content. Just make a good game.

Lol. Had no idea who that was, but I will admit they do look quite similar.

Hideo Kojima calls Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 “ideal” for one key reason

Legendary gaming auteur Hideo Kojima heaped praise on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, calling it “ideal” for one significant reason.

gigoran81d 12h ago

Greatness knows greatness. Simple as that. Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, built with a smaller team and with a smaller budget, blowing ubisoft out of the water. It doesn't matter how many devs you have and how much money you throw at it, great studios like Sandfall Interactive will always overcome you.

mastershredder19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

Ideal are you opinions being vacant from any discussion that is not about your own cringy universe Hideo.

The master of Vanity Tech Demos is here to tell us what a good game is. ooooh kay. It's pretty dang obvious without your 2 cents desperately needing relevance. This is just like his GTA grovel a while back. Yuck.

gold_drake18h ago

quite honestly, i havent been able to stop thinking about it ha.

i keep playing it

He’s massively overrated and writes terrible dialogue.
